Zeppelin. Secretary Of the Navy Will
bur has signed two contracts for the
| construction of two zeppelina de-
signed to be even larger than the
coming visitor.
1t is gratifying to realize that sucn
great airships can be constructed in
this country as well al in Germany.
True, one OF the star builders from
overseas In identified with the Amer
lean manufacturers, but that is only
another instance of American oppor-
tunity welcoming the best brains
from the world to these shores. This
has been so for generations. ana
more particularly since the World
War. We welcome anyone with big
ideas and the ability to execute
them, regardless of quotas.
The Goodyear Zeppelin Corpora
ton of Akron, O., will build the
Z1S-4 and the ZRS-5 for the Amer
lean navy. Each ship will be of g.
500, 900 cubic feet of gas volume. or
present Los Angeles. There will be
so many Improvements and safety
devices IN these ships that to re-
count all OF them would fill many
paragraphs,
A fact not generally remem bered
is that no airman who happened to
he within the hull of the Shenandoah
when it collapsed over Ohio during
storm was injured. This lesson
having been learned, the engines and
engineers on the new naval vessels
will be housed within the hull. An
other important feature is that the
airships will be kept aloft by helium
the non -inflammable gas which Is
produced in this country in larger
quantities than elsewhere.
With the Los Angeles having sue
cessfully Travelled thousands of miles
during the past few years. and the
visit of the Graf Zeppelin a reality
within week or ten days. the ma
ton is certain to turn Zeppelin
minded again. The fate OF the Shen-
andoah has been eclipsed from public
memory to a large extent, and al
most everyone now realizes that the
Shenandoah was not remotely CON-
parable in safety with the more
modern ships of that tyr~.
1t likewise will be subject OF
pride that the two American Zeppe-
Inns to be constructed are to sur
pass any other ships Of that type by
a wide margin. and that we can do
it, To what extent scientific knowi-
edge has progressed in the construc-
ton of dirigibles can be most eas,1y
grasped by referring to the gross
lifting power of the Los Angeles and
the newer craft, and then compar-
ing the horsepower of the engines
The Los Angeles has gross lift
ing power of 10000 pounds, and Its
five engines have a horsepower OF
1000. The new naval Zeps will have
gross lifting power OF $4,000
pounds each, while their eight en-
gines will have horsepower o,
1880. And the maximum speed will
be 72.S knots. the range without re-
fueling at SO knots will be $50
miles-or three times across the
continent, or ocean.
If there ever is to be regular afr
travel across the ocean these ships
can fill the bill.

in it either.
The cup on the third hole at Burning

Il wasn't put there by accident, nor
was the greenkeeper moonstruck when
he placed it in the middle of the shall
low bunker that guards the regular

wouldn't do to set aside a part OF the
regular green, for it simply couldn't

Upright Swing
Causes a Slice

One Of the dozens of causes for a
slice is a too upright swing. such as
the golfer sketched on the left has
made. His position is q cramped one
and In unwinding from it the club
has TO be thrown out from the body

one results.
