PROPOSES AIR SERVICE
Doctor Eckener Suggest a trans.
Atlantic Line on a Four
Day Basis.

Akron, Ohio-Formation Of trans
Atlantic Zeppelin service, operating
on a four-day schedule, was proposed
here by DR.. Hugo Eckener, commander
of the German dirigible, Graf Zeppelin.
His proposal was made to Paul w.
Litchfield, president of the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co. and the Goodyear
Zeppelin corporation. With an outlay
of approximately $15,0O0,OOO for ships
and posts, DR.. Eckener requested Mr..
Litchfield to join his concern, the Ger
man Zeppelin corporation of Friedrichs.
hafen, Germany, in constructing four
ships, two of which would be built at
Friedrichshafen and two by the Good
year corporation here. He said he felt
sure that other interests which he did
not name, could be induced to take
part in the tremendous venture. Diri-
gibles leaving the American and Eu!
ropean ports at four day intervals
could render efficient and profitable
service, said the commander Of the
new German airship.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S, w. StrauS

Reference frequently is made in
newspapers and magazines to in
stances of spectacular success in &C.
quiring wealth. Men are frequently
credited with having amassed for
tunes over night in the stock market
in the oil fields, in grain speculation
in real estate, as well as in other
lines of activity.
1t is not to be denied that these in
stances exist. The number of per-
sons, however, who have been fortu-
nate in the manner referred to is
very small compared with the number
who are steadily getting ahead in the
world by slower and more dependable
means. The vast majority of those
who are prosperous today are enjoy
ing the results of patient thrift Only
negligible percentage of the total
are acquiring wealth in any other
manner.
1t is well to have these facts EN-.
phasized in order that persons may
not be swept away by occasional sto.
ries of meteoric success. Because
some man now and then gets very
lucky break and acquires fabulous
sum of money in short time, is moi
sufficient reason to believe that Others
can do the same thing. The slower
methods of saving Systematically and
investing safely are sure to bring re-
suits, while the chances of acquiring
wealth by some magical process are
so remote as to justify the removal
of these ideas from any well ordered
plan of personal advancement.
The majority of men who have built
fortunes, though they may have risen
rapidly, owe their success funda-
mentally to practices of thrift and ii
is dangerous experiment to try to
get ahead otherwise. So-called clever
ness and pure daring will sometimes
achieve temporary results, but only
through the more matter-of-fact meth
DDS of building little b. little, day by
day, may any one be assured of ar
irving at the goal of his ambition.
Do not, under any circumstances
allow yourself to be swept away from
practices of thrift for they comprise
the only dependable plan of placing
yourself in a position Of financial in
dependence and wealth.
