 Los Angeles Passes Over
 The navy dirigible Los Angeles sailed over this part of the state last night, giving residents of the town an opportunity to see the giant ship. Many of the people did not realize that the ship was due and their at tention was first attracted by the drone of the six motors of the large dirigible and the hum of the escort planes. Cameras were in evidence as residents attemtped to get snap shots of the ship.
 The visit of the airship last night recalled the date when the Shenan- doah, shortly before it's destruction followed the same course over the town.
