upon it and shrinks again at night; a building
that rests upon giant moving rollers instead of
being firmly anchored to its foundations. Four
huge doors close the structure-doors so large
that the task of opening any one of them Is
equal to swinging the side Of an 18-story sky
scraper on hinges. So vast and hollow IL the
building that windstorm can attain cyclonic
proportions within its walls.
The doors of this hangar could be closed on
the Capitol Building. The building would house
the airplane carriers Saratoga and Lexington
the largest naval vessels ever built for the
United States, together with the Washington
Monument and the Statue Of Liberty.
Six miles of standard railroad tracks could
be laid on the floor area which covers eight
and one-hah acres Walk the length of the
building four times and you win have covered
nearly O mile. The Sheeting covering the
building, laid out nat, would cover 10 acres.
There Is room inside for 40 airships the size
Of the Defender, largest Of the present Goodyear
fleet. The building itself is ZOO feet Icing, 325
feet wide and al feet high, from the floor to
the observation platform ON top.
THE building itself is the result of such revo-
lutionary changes In engineering design
that it points the way to larger and still larger

dirigibles, which. in the past, have been limited
to the size Of the buildings which could be
constructed to house them. In this building
the same principles of stream-line construction
have been carried out which marked the de-
velopment of automobile bodies, speed boats and
airplane fuselages. The result is q building
unlike any other in the world. It has much the
appearance Of a mountainous egg cut In two the
long way and laid fiat against the earth. The
ends are rounded off like the end Of an egg to
reduce resistance to the wind and every element
of roof and wall has been designed TO lessen
the wind pressure.
This is totally different from the old hangers.
They almost always had blunt ends, which pro-
duced dangerous air eddies, magnifying the
difficulties Of getting the airship into the
building. To eliminate this engineers made
tests extending over many months, to determine
the best shape for the great building which now
rises above Akron like o mountain.
The mere matter Of creating doors for this
airship dock presented more tremendous and
difficult problems than might be found in the
erection Of skyscraper. Dirigible hangers of
the past had had doors based on principles all
most as old as civilization itself. They either
swung open and shut CT they slid open. As the
size of the doors grew greater these types be-

mobile fortress for the SKY, a
gigantic flying hangar capab,. of housing five
large fighting planes, with heavy machine guns
and light artillery, is being built, larger than
the Capitol Building or any United States
battleshp.
This is to be the largest airsllip in all the
world, much larger than the Los Angeles and
the Graf Zeppelin together-the first of twin
ships being built for the Navy.
Rear Admiral william A. Moffett chief of the
Bureau Of Naval Aeronautics, drove the golden
rivet in the master ring, which is to be In the
highest point in the hun of the ship This
ceremony was equivalent to the time-h1nored
ceremony of laying the keel of great sea-
going vessel.
THIS zRS-4 as the ship will be known until
= an official name is selected, will be longer
than three Washington city blocks. With the
nose at Fourteenth and r streets, the ship would
extend along street, past Thirteenth and
Twelfth streets, with the tail beyond the Co
lumbia Theater near Eleventh street. So huge
is the bulk that it could not be crowded between
the building lines With the bottom of the
control car resting on the pavement of F street.
the top of the hull would be level with the top
of the National Press Club Building.
The dirigible will be driven by eight powerful
engines housed, for the first time in dirigible
history, in the hull of the ship. 1t is expected
to fly at maximum speed of about 85 miles per
hour and to cruise 5000 miles with full military
load without refueling. At speed of So miles
per hour the dirigble could travel 10000 miles
without landing.
The first visible evidence CT the size of this
aerial monster was given the visitors from the
National Capital when they first glimpsed the
airship dock in which the construction viii take
place. This dock, now nearing completion, Is
the largest building without interior supports in
the world. More than 10000 persons can stand
beneath the great arching roof, or 10 foot bali
games could be played simultaneously inside the
csCssd doors.
1t Is a building that literally stretches itself
out over the ground when the sun beats down

DESPITE all the wind pressure that must be
withs God by the airship dock and all the
colossal weight Of its 1900 tons of steel, the
building must be mounted upon rollers so that
practically the entire city block long build
ing can move itself back and forth and UP and
down. It Is well known that almost any ma
terial expands with heat and contracts with
cold In ordinary buildings this expansion and
contraction Is so small that 1t takes care of
itself. But in single-unit building 1900 feet
long. one city block wide and equal to % stories
In height the movement under the influence Of
temperature changes becomes so great that the
structure probably would burst itself aslmder II
1t were firmly fixed TO its foundations.
So huge are some Of the structural members
that they could not be shipped TO the site
II fabricated and assembled at the steel mills
It became necessary to set up complete steele
fabricating plant on the site Of the building
and finish the members there as needed. Huge
locomotive cranes have been used 10 hoist part
OF the steel work into place and six complete
lines of railroad track were built over the site
to bring materials and cranes into exact posi-
ton for erection.
Preparation Of the dock site required the re-
moval of 100000 cubic yards Of earth.
The suhstructure work consists Of concrete
fOotings carried on vertical, inclined and hori-
zontal concrete piles. Concrete ties across the
building, heavily reinforced and connected with
the foottngs were necessary to take the thrust
from the arches The piles carry load of 50
tons each and 1900 were required.
The docking rails for moving the airships ir
and out are spaced 400 feet apart and extend
1000 feet beyond each end Of the building.
Down the center is o standard railroad track
which viii carry guide trolley to keep the hull
OF the airship conferred In the building.
The interior floor area Of the dirigible dock
Is $4,000 square feet and the cubical content
Of the building Is 100000 cubic feet. The

came more unsatisfactory. When winds were
blowing it sometimes was impossible for several
days at time to open sliding or swinging doors.
Men and machinery were incapable of moving
them against the wind pressure. Sliding doors
presented such vast and poorly supported sur
faces to the wind that they were in danger Of
being ripped bodily from their supports.
It was obvious that neither of these types of
door would serve for the great new super-airship
factory at Akron. The situation demanded
something entirely new and It has been pro-
duced. The new type is known as the orange
peel" door and each section actually looks like
. quarter section of an orange peel. The Sec
tons are hung on enormous pivots at the top
and the bottoms run upon trucks SUFFICIENT to
carry whole fleet Of street cars. The doors
are opened with electric power and when open
ut tightly against the sides Of the building,
never encountering any greater wind pressure
than when closed. This one development alone
has added enormously to the practicahility Of
dirigibles, making it possible to get them into
or out Of their hangers quickly, regardless OF
weather conditions.

SWITZERLAND = The Swiss Govern
ment has been using the postal service to
further temperance education. In defac-
ing the stamps on letters they are using a
device which shows a bottle decorated with
skull and crossbones, and bearing the
legend in German, "Schnapps ruins the
family and the race" The Swiss govern
ment uses a portion of the income from
the taxation of alcohol for the support of
a number of anti-alcohol organizations.
The anti-liquor movement is largely due
to the activity of the Swiss women who,
if they had the vote, would have Switzer-
land dry.

CLARK CRILLED
BY NORTHC0TT
ON TESTIMONY
By United Press Leased Wire

RIVERSIDE, Calf. Jan. II
Gordon $. Northcott, gambling his
life ON correspondence school
knowledge of law, tried today to
show through cross examination of
his Is year old nephew, Sanford
Clark, that bones found on his
chicken ranch were from the carcas-
scs of dogs and not from bodies of
small boys whom he is accused of
killing with an az.
The defendant attorney n ] o
sought to bring lat through qnes-
tioning of Sanford that one of the
small boy visitors who came TO the
ranch with Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus
Northcott had lost a cap,
One of the bits of evidence in
troduccd by the state was an Old
brown cap which Henry Winslow
of Pomona had identified as having
belonged to one of his two small
boys. Lewis and Nelson, whom
Northcott is accused of having mis-
treated and killed.
Sanford, however, said he didn i
remember any one of the boys hav-
ing lost a cap.
Northcott brought out on croes
examination that at different times
they had had as many as three dogs
on the ranch and that their bodies
had been buried there.
"You said yesterday that you
had a key in your possession open
ing all the doors on the ranch, "
Northcott asked. "Why didn t you
let these Winslow boys loose'"
"You took my keys away"
Sanford answered.
"Why didn't you break in the
screen with an AK and let them
loose then?'
81 was too afraid of you." was
the reply.

jury that the IIaskcw girl died from
the effects of mistreatment would
form the basis of his charges against
Miss Bertha Lips, superintendent,
and DIR. Evelyn Frisbic, home physi-

suspicious of DR.. Frisbie's report
that Miss Haskew died after heart
attack induced by exposure during
her escape.
Five girls who escaped with Miss
Haskew testified concerning condi-

County Clerk Is
Slightly Injured

County Clerk Cal G. Mousseau
was recovering at his home today
from injuries received last night
when the automobile in which he
was riding with Ben Hulse, chair
man Of the county board of super
'viSors, left the highway and turned
over about one mile south of Ell
Centre on the CaleXico highway.
Mousseau, although he was said
not to be seriously hurt, received
Several cuts about the head. Hulse,
who was driving the ear, was not
injured.
The slippery condition of the
pavement caused by last night IS
rain was believed to have caused the
wreck.
The county clerk was expected to
recover sufficiently to return to his
office at the court house either late
today or tomorrow.
