Judge Boyd never fails to recognize any

AS talked about him with leading
citizens of Charlottesville their attitude
seemed to be: Why speak OF his
blindness? Isn't he just as competent
as any one else?"
So / went past my inquiry about the

had turned 1t to account. as does every

but there Is something more far-reaeh-

That achievement, it seemed to me,

his memberships, his judgeship. his
oratory, his writing 1t advanced into a

That achievement is this: Though

that after years Of persistent thinking
of this denial of a natural fact he has
planted q consciousness of his success

DISC"':PY OF GOLD
STIRS FRENCH AREA
Prospeetors, Engineers and Goel-
ogists Flock to Quiet Province
of Limousin.

PARIS Especially .-Limousin, which
has the reputation of being the most
quiet province of France, has buzzed
up like q beehive. The rumor has
spread that the region is rich In gold,
and prospectors, engineers and geol-
ogists have Aocked to Limoges and to
the smaller towns of Chem and Beaune,
where gold has been found,
At Cheni a mining company has
started to refine ore and the company
managers declare the average quantity
of gold obtained is half an ounce per
ton. At Reaune q vein has been dis
covered which is expected to yield from
one to four pounds per ton. Geolo-
Rists are not able to determine whether
the vein is long and wide enough to
supply even one pound of metal.
The population Of Limousin has been
80 excited by the discovery that many
farmers have abandoned their plows
to search for gold on their land. II
the rumors are confirmed o rush for
gold here from all parts of France may
be expected.
Perhaps 1000 years ago, when France
vas inhabited by the Gauls, gold was
dug In Limousin. Traces of this pre-
historic work have been found By
French psychologists, and q few years
before the World War companies trie6
to dig on the same site. Their efforts
we're stopped by the war. Work hal
nov been resumed with double energy
and in o few months results OF pre-
urinary prospecting will be known.

The electricity In the service OF gar

be about 2 per cent Of the commercial

The use of electric light as sunsti-
tute for sunshine Is atiH In the expert

IL mas been lhdicated BY DR.. Eekener
that the terminal would serve Is . great
dirisible service station, serving the
craft somewhat as q drydock or home
port serves the ocean liner This would
require the construction of o giant
hangar large enough to house at least
two Of the big commercial air liners,
and the field would become the home
base for all of the dirigibles OF the pro-
posed German line in this country.
Several Miles for Port.
1t Is understood that establishment Of
the proposed terminal would affect an
area OF several square miles in extent
either directly or indirectly. The Navy
Department, in seeking q site for the
future base for two giant military diri-
gibleS now being constructed at Akron,
Ohio. has laid down minimum qualiflca-
tons for such field as that proposed
by DIR. Eckener.
A satisfactory site. the Navy Depart
ment holds, requires at least an 900
acre tract of well drained and level land
for the field proper. This land need
not be absolutely level. but must not
have more than very gradual slope,
The minimum dimensions OF the tract
should be at least 1000 feet in any di-
rection
Beyond the limits Of this 1000 foot
square the approaches to the site must
be clear of high distractions and there
should be no mountains or high. abrupt
hills within 10 miles of the field. Trees

serious obstacles, it is said.

Not only must these physical quali-
Acations be present, 1t was pointed out,
but the site must be well located from
the standpoint of transportation facili-
| ties and satisfactory living conditions
! fol the many employees who would be
required at such a terminal Winds in
the vicinity should be gentle and, SO
far as possible. constant In direction.
Frequent thunderstorms are especially
Objectionable, the Navy dirigible experts
declare.
In his search for a drigible terminal
site In the vicinity of the National
Capital. according to the experience Of
/ Navy dirigtble people, it will be neeeS-
sary for DR.. Eekener to have data Of
the following character before he can
even give preliminary consideration to
q site:
The area available, including a map
showing its location and the contours
Of the field and the surrounding coun-
try.
The nature of the surrounding coun-
try within distance of Is to 20 miles,
with especial reference to hills and to
unusually large trees or wooded tracts
or other high Instructions within Two
or three miles
Availability of water supply.
Transportation and housing facilities
In the neighborhood.
Prevailing wind direction and average
intensity over long periods from each
direction.
Frequency Of thunderstorms.
Prevalence Of fog and low clouds.
Navy Watches EckeHer Proposal.
The Navy Department now is CON-
Quoting a search for q military dirigihle
site on the Pacific Coast, and for this
reason the proposal of DR.. Eekener for
establishment of terminal in the East
is regarded with great interest by the
Navy experts.
The present Navy dirigible base at
Lakehurst, N. j., is regarded by DR..
Eckener as physically ideal, being in
the heart OF vast area of fat, level
country with no dangerous obstacles in
any direction. The German dirigible
leader, however, has indicated that he

weather shift line extends East and
West Immediately north OF Baltimore,
he stated, and he regards conditions
as more favorable south of this line
than to the north.
In addition, DR.. Eckener said on his
first visit to this city last Fall, he be-
lieves it would be appropriate to have
the terminal located as close as possible
to the National Capital.

built on the proposed terminal UNI
