Enormous Cost

NOR will Germany be permitted
~ to run away with the show.
Just before the Graf Zeppelin
left Friedrichshafen it was reported
that the Goodyear Company of
Akron, O., would build two gigantic
dirigibles for commercial use.
This company already has begun
to build two for the government,
which means it will build four in
all.
Like everything else, four dirigi-
bles can be built proportionately
cheaper than one, or two, but even
so, the cost is enormous.

Cutting Time of Ships

four.
1t requires about five days for

New York, while dirigibles are eX-

So far as time is concerned, there
is an obvious advantage in picking
South Africa as the western ter
minal, but the volume of trade to
North America is much larger.
