By the Associated Press.
Ell PASO. Tex.-Capt. w. c. Mac
kenzie. noted Canadian war ace, who
was officially credited with downing rs
German planes, is rebuilding his body
and fortune In San Antonio.
Former service men here have helped
him to establish a typewriter and gun
repair business. the only type of work
his health will permit him to do.
Mackenzie arrived in FL Paso without
a cent after his motor cycle had burned
near Uvalde. Tex. while he was en- route
to the Pacific Coast. For 10 years, five
in hospitals, he has attempted to regain
his health. He is an expert at repair
ing airplane engines, but is not strong
enough to do that work.
He has not flown since German anti
aircraft fire wounded him as he was
trying for his twenty-sixth victim dur
ing the war.

BEACONS WILL TELL
FLYERS OF WEATHER
Mail Pilots Can Receive Night
Reports From Lights ON

Aviators flying radio beacon courses
will not have to watch the clock to
get their hourly weather reports under
a new system being tested out by the
Department of Commerce.
New frequencies have been assigned
radio weather reporting stations at
Hadley Field, N. j.; Bellefonte, Pa.
and Cleveland. Ohio. They will oper-
ate on the same frequencies as the
beacon stations at those points.
Beacon signals will be interrupted
hourly to give pilots weather bulletins.
This will obviate the necessity Of pilots
keeping an eye on their watch and
turning to another point on their re-
ceiver dial to get the hourly weather
information.
Several times in the past radio bea-
con signals have been interrupted for
emergency communication with pilots
in the air The success of the trials
led the Anyways Division Of the Com
merce Department to believe the Sys-
tenn would be advantageous In regular
use. II the test proves satisfactory,
the system will be continued.

well, and often does, dispense

Gorgeous uniforms have been
supplied for the pilots of the
Transcontinental, very much after
the style Of doorman, but by their
construction they have little re-
semblance to the flying toys which
have been much affected by
transocean flyers, and by posing
beauty contest winners.
The Army and Navy stick by
the monkey suits" for flying for
the parachutes worn almost make
this necessary for the preservation
of the pilots better wearing APP

But when the civilian pilot
goes up he is clad in street
clothes and atop his Uranium in
warm weather one might even
find a conventional straw hat.

SPAIN IS BUILDING
BIG ARMY A|RSH|P
Wright Motors and German
Linen Employed in
Construction.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GUADALAJARA, Spain, June 13.-
Spain. hitherto somewhat Indifferent to
the development of dirigibles. has de-
cided to keep pace with other nations
in this respect and is constructing big
airship in the military aeronautic works
near here.
The only military airship ever owned
by Spain was the Espana, Of the Astra
type, which made Its last flights in the
beginning Of 1918. AS the result of the
experiences Of the great war, airships
were abandoned for army purposes and
their use was confined to naval scout
ing In most European nations. Those
which retained them in the army did SO
the benefit of commercial flying. espe-
cially when tranSoceanic attempts
brought disaster to SO many heavier
than-air machines.
Aeronaut Sent to u. s.
About three years ago Spain sent to
the United States a well known military
aeronaut and engineer, Enrique Maldo-
nado de Nicer. When he returned to
Spain he drafted the plans for non
rigid airship with a capacity Of 5000
II for Institutional purposes in the
Spanish army.
The construction of this airship was
started with the greatest secrecy. It
was the intention of the authorities to
make the first flight over Madrid on
the recent visit Of the Danish mon
archs; but owing to their early depar-
ture In consequence of the death of the
Queen Mother Maria Christiana, the
plan was abandoned.
The details of the airship reveal that
the envelope Is composed OF strips OF
rubberized linen of German manufac-
ture. the edges being overlapped and
sewn together. Its practical capacity Is
$500 cubic meters. Its maximum dia-
meter is 36.oS feet and Its total length
ITS feet.
Wright Whirlwind Motors.
The motors are two Wright whirl-
winds with air coolers, and each has
nine cylinders and develops 220 horse
power. They are placed on each side
Of the cabin, which is Of elongated
shape. Six persons in all can be car
ried, while there Is space for two gaso-
line and oil tanks. abundant water sup
ply. spare parts, baggage, gear and an
Choir.
Maldonado has designed latticed
metal mooring mast 80 feet high, con-
Structed on q reinforced cement base
and furnished at the top with special
arrangement allowing the airship to
veer according to the wind. Four
cables anchored on the ground would
hold the dirigible on horizontal level.

ALTENRHEIN, Switzerland, July q.
Those who have been privileged to
inspect the DO x. the latest product of
the brains of DR.. Claudius Dornier,
have come sway with the impression
that there at last Is the airship of Jules
Vernes dreams, the Flying Hotel.
The DO x Is metal-built flying boat,
larger than the Graf Zeppelin and
three and one-half times as large as
the Dornier Superwal, with which Maj.
Franco recently attempted to fly from
Spain to the United States. 1t has
three decks and accommodates 100 pas
sengers easily. At pinch it might hold
$50.
Largest Plane In World.
In fact, 1t is the largest airplane in
the world. It has a wing spread of 1874
feet, and on the water it draws
feet, so that the propellers are "a feet
above the surface.
Twelve air-cooled Siemens-Jupiter
motors. arranged tandem fashion on
the upper surface of the wings, six in
horsepower, insuring a travelling speed
of lib miles an hour, with top speed
of 1856 miles at a flying radius of 1850
miles.
A unique feature is that the IL motors
run independently of one another. and
progress Is not in the least impeded
should three, or even four, fall out Of
action. Across the body is laid a little
trackway for a running board, on which
engineers, lying prone, are quickly con-
veyed to shafts leading to each Of the
motors.
Carries Large Fuel Cargo.
On the lower deck 1000 gallons of
benzine, $500 kilos OF oil, ballast, pro-
visions, spares and tools are stored
This disposition of the fuel, away from
the motors, is said to reduce danger of
fire to a minimum.
The middle deck, 81 feet long, con-
sists Of a salon with sleeping cabins.
Professionally for 40 passengers, on both
sides. Forward Is baggage compart-
ment, while the cooks galley-all cook
ing Is done by electricity-and the
lavatories are aft.
Navigating officers and crew are
housed on the upper deck, where is also
the chart room, engine room and radio
cabin.
The crew comprises q captain. two
wireless operators, a navigation officer,
four mechanics, cook and steward
IL in all.
Contrasting with the fat-bottomed
Dornier-Wal type. the DO x has a keel
shaped body which makes for safety on
a rough sea. 1t has water-tight bulk
heads like ship.
Won't Cross Ocean.
The DO K, for which better sound
ing name presently will be found, also
has a 4-horsepower motor on board
to generate current for the setting in

Under new Department Of Commerce
regulations requiring that flying in

A transport pilot may instruct as many
persons as he wishes individually with

up q "one-man school,"
Flying schools over the country now
are being inspected by Department of
Commerce field workers, who make rec
concentrations for approval. Approved
flying schools will be rated as private
pilots schools, limited commercial pi-
lots flying schools and transport pilots

amount Of instruction given.

THE MAN OF GALILEE


More than nineteen centuries ago,
in an obscure corner of Imperial
Rome, the nobelst personality that
ever graced the shores of time was
ignobly born. Out of the ranks of
despised and oppressed people, he
arose to the apex of moral and spir-
itual grandeur.
Being priest and prophet of this
world, and king of an invisible
kingdom, for more than three years
he ministered to a world that was in
immeasurable need. He came into
the world not so much to reveal God
unto men as to reveal man unto him
self-to show him the possibilities of
human flesh in it's most lowly form.
And yet, great as his achievements
were, it is scarcely possible to ap-
praise the life of this man apart
from the religious and political forces
which affected him.
The age which gave birth to Jesus
was characterized by kind Of re-
Ggious over-poise, and a spiritual
darkness that was complete and over
whelming. Then as now, and when
ever and wherever people take their
religion too seriously, and a priest
craft takes the ascendency, a rigid
ecclesiasticism dominated the spirit
ual life of the masses. The once
native outpouring of a great people
had become scarcely more than an
elaborate system of worship; the
dead letter of the law had supplanted
the revelations of living God. Re
ligion was no longer way of life
it was doctrine. At one time it
had gushed from the heart; now it
was shut up in books.
Against the doctrine of self-cen-
tered aggressiveness of his people, he
preached the truth of social response
bility; he taught that only through
self-subordination to the interest of
the many could a man find the full
fillment of his being. For the neg
ative and prohibitive religion of the
Jews, he offered a positive religion
of the spirit. He talked Of the
"whosoever will" the "whatsoever-is-
more" "the turning of the other
cheek" and "the righteousness that
exceeds that of the Pharisees." He

Arlen as the boy lover is great and,
as the young man filled with the
pride Of achievement, he is superb.
A shining thread Of humor, sup
piled by Harry Green and Jack
Oakie, keeps the laughs going
throughout the piece. They are SUI
