NAVAL AIR STATION, I.akehurst
N. j., August 10.-They're all lighter
than-a air minded" on and around this
2.5OO-acre reservation of Uncle Sam,
even to Bossy and Dobbin.
Elsewhere in the Nation aeronautical
interest centers chiefly in planes, but
this section of the Jersey pine country
knows little more than the big ships OF
the skies-dirigibles, blimps and bal
looms.
"Dirigibling" around here is big busi-
ness, requiring in addition to hundreds
of sailors and marines the help of many
civilian employees, and providing aero
nautical training for 100 members Of a
dirigible troop of Boy Scouts.
The poultry yards still get q bit
panicky when the giant shadow of the
dirigible Los Angeles or the shadows
of Army or Navy blimps cut through
them, but the cows of the Jersey mead
ows browse on and horses in the fields
take no notice when the big ships pass
overhead. Bucolic sophiStication, this,
as compared with the strained necks
of Broadway when the big ships go
uptown"
Although thousands from other sec
tons packed themselves into the reSer-
vation from the recent arrival and de-
parture of the Graf Zeppelin, the rustic
community OF LakehurSt and the FASH
ionable Winter colony Of Lakewood,
nearby, took 1t all as a routine task,
except in so far as 1t Melted every
hotel and lodging house and taxicah
driver many an extra dollar.
The influence of the station goes be-
yond the men. Army and Navy regula-
tions ordinarily prohibit the carrying OF
civilian passengers in service craft, but

And the youngsters know on what

Asked what she considered the most
thrilling moment of the journey, Lady
HAY replied: =
THAT was when, some time yester-
day, we realized what fast time we
were making and how soon we should
be in Germany. Just consider: Thurs
day we left Lakehurst; now Saturday
noon we are in Friedrichshafen. That
certainly shows that airship transpor-
tation is the coming thing. There was
suppressed excitement among all Of us

Carbo admitted that, though he had had several men who would have nominated him at the time, all of these men had be | out side when the meeting was called to order by Henry Deming, the mod orator, and did not have sufficient time to enter the hall. The pas sageWay was crowded, and when Mir Carbo's henchmen attempted to enter they found it impossible to obtain admittance until after the examinations had been made.
