one Of many foreign young men
called 10 the battle by the spirit of
adventure that the conflict promised.
No ordinary fellow, this young
Zeppelin. He was willing TO dare
anything volunteering for service
IN the captive balloons then being
used for the first time as an adjunct
to warfare. He made ascents and
hastv descerts - ballooning was in
the hazardous experimental stage in
those days.
But young zepplin came out Of
the war ~unscathed, returning to his
native land il search of new excite
ment. And he carried back with him
an idea. a desire to build something
that might take him speedily TO the
far Of the earth.
Watched French Balloons
Then came 1870, the Franco
prussian war and the siege Of PARIS.
The young German officer. more sea-
soned now, watched the balloons ris-
ing from the French city. And not
long after. 1873, his great idea took
form in the design Of a rigid airship,
divided into compartments.
FIRST ideas need Improvement. Yep
pclin knew that. and IN 1891 he re-
signed from the Germany army. he
was then n general. to devote his
full time 10 the development OF his
airship. lie had spent much OF his
time in the intervening years trying
10 convince his people and his gov
eminent that the idea Of developing
commercial airships Of the rigid type
would prove q benefit to the nation
and mankind. lie sought to arouse
enough interest to warrant the build

submitted plans for a dirigible. not
unlike those of the mammoth Graf

designs, while they contained no seri-

The First Zeppelin
So Zeppelin struck u for himself.
BY July ., 1900. he had enlisted
enough private capital and had CON
structed, at Manzell. near Friedrich
shafen on Lake Constance, the first
Of the %Zeppelins. known as the Lei.
Measuring 40 feet long and with a
diameter or IS feet the LII was a
giant in those days. The aeronaut-
ical world was skeptical. 1t expected

ttTF winter comes. can spring
1 be far behind?" asks the
poet, hopefully.
The athletic, lovely women of
today, however, value winter, not
only for its promise of spring, bu
also for its own sake.
FIurries of snow flakes like
4 feathers, icy wind, whipping fresh
air into the lungs and roses into
the cheeks, show windows all
aglow and aglitter with Christmas
cheer; snowballing and ice skat-
ing, tobogganing and brisk walks
for suppleness and grace, energy
and symmetry, as well as nature Z
own bright colorings; landscapes
like Christmas cards and the ex-
quisite Christmas spirit stealing
into our hearts as the holidays
draw near: oh, yes, winter is
lovesome time, especially the
month Of December. and season
that counts for beauty!
Now that 'wintry winds do
blow, you will, if you are wises
prepare to enjoy winter and make
the most of its possibilities for en-
hanced beauty.
First Of all in Importance, use
more cold cream than you have
been, to offset high winds and
drying cold air. You may need to.
add a good skin food to the
equipment of your toilet table. If
you have been using cold cream
three evenings a week, use it for
awhile four nights instead. or
even every night. Possibly your
skin needs oil or cream both night
and morning in winter. Expert
ment cautiously and watch results
with the aid of clear light and
good hand-mirror.
Winter is the season OF hard
work. In these strenuous days,
what woman has not multitude
of things to attend to! Even so
cicty butterflies are very busy
butterflies. Work will not hurt
your beauty or health, but should
make you happier. hence more at
tractive. provided you bring en-
fhusiasTn to your tasks and re-
fuse to worry.
Work until you perspire freely,
for that perspiration will carry
away bodily waste matter. helping
you dEnIGN6 a CiSdIs lONS1y Eh1Il.
Walking will benefit you more
in cold than warm weather, for
in winter your three mile daily
constitutional is sure to be brisk.
stimulating circulation. burning
away surplus fat. Sleep at night
in q cold, ventilated room. In that
way you will sleep better and
awake more refreshed
Dress for the weather. When
the thermometer drops well down
toward zero, pack away your
filmy georgette undies and don
coy little shirts and shorts OF
knitted silk and wool or silk and
heavy cotton. You also owe your.
self attractive, neats little over
shoes that snap trinity over the
ankles and protect them, as well
as warm understandings for cold
days, and a silk muffler.
When you feel comfy you are
ever SO much more attractive and
poised, and can also engage freely
in winter sports, which count for
health and beauty.
