They carry light artillery as against
the planes machine guns. They can

which is not infiammable. Even If every

bullets their gas leakageS would not
exceed IS per cent over five hours, and
all the time the crew could be repairing
the damage.
Increased knowledge has made them
safe even from the elements. In light

work acts as a "Faraday Cage" which
collects and distributes the lightning
so that it can be discharged through
the engine exhaust. AS science has
learned more about weather conditions,
it has become apparent that storms can

Proponents of dirigibles declare that
their service in war is proved beyond
the dreams of the general public. The
raids by zeppelins in the last war did
not constitute one-tenth of the work
they did in that conflict, 1t is said
Zeppelins saved the German coast from
invasion, prevented the cutting off of
the German feet on the second day of
the great naval battle at Jutland, pro-
tected mine-sweepers from attack by
fast enemy ships, conveyed submarines
out into the seas, located mine fields,
and are said to have been the only
thing that prevented the complete bot
Ting up of the German fleets.
It is claimed that 10esuch ships as
those which are to be built at Akron
could effectually patrol the Atlantic
Ocean and absolutely prevent any con-
centrated movement against the Ameri-
can coast.

complete steel fabricating plant on the

days when Count Zeppelin built his first
crude Zeppelin at Friedrichshafen has
been the foremost authority in the
world on the construction Of rigid air
ships. and the Goodyear Co. in America
which has been the worlds greatest
consumer of rubber and which has been
probably one of the worlds foremost
developers of balloons and non-rigid
and semi-rigid airships.
Movement Began Years Ago.
The movement which probably will
make America the world capital in
lighter than-air craft began almost five
years ago when the Goodyear Co. bought
the American rights to the Zeppelin
patents and brought to this country the
most skillful of the great staff of air
engineers and navigators from Fried
ricnshafen, headed by DR.. Arnstein,
chief engineer of the Zeppelin Co.
Soon afterward. the United States
Navy gave to the Goodyear Co. the
contract for the two greatest dirigibles

be $500, 000-cubic-f ships, as against
the Los Angeles 2.470,000 cubic feet.
They will have cruising range of $3.50
nautical miles, as against the Los
Angeles $500 miles. They will have
tremendously more lifting power. They
will be "fatter" than the Los Angeles
and much more so than the Inflated
Shenandoah. They will have quarters
for their crews inside the ship, and even
the motors will be concealed within the

ENGINES TO BE SHIELDED
Development Of Radio Calls for
Change in Construction.

Manufacturers of airplane engines
have been requested by the aircraft
power plants committee of the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics to
shield their engines against electrical
disturbances which will interfere with
radio installations in planes in which
they may be used.
Progress in the installation Of radio
biography, telephony and directive
beacons for aircraft makes shielding of
motors generally a matter of necessity,
the committee pointed out. The COM
mittee adopted resolution expressing
its belief that the responsibility for
such shielding rests with the engine
manufacturers.

Buttering Bread.
Is a Great Art

1c seems like such simple matter to
outter q slice OF bread, but It has, In
TACT, been Q stumbling block In table
nenncxS ever since our forafatherB and
Ioremothers conceived the idea Of eat
ing butter on the bread.
Ooubcless 1t would be q convenience
20 many persons to have bread served
9Ireeoy spread with butter, and ct buf-
1et Iuncheons or supperS bread and
butter sandwiches often do take the
place Of slices Of bread and pats OF
butter.
The matter Is somewhat simplif1ed If
Cnere are bread and butter plates and
special butter knives. But 1t Is quite
possible TO butter bread and eat it cor
rectly without such conveniences.
All that some persons seem to realize
N the matter Is that it Is bad form to
lay slice Of bread on the table before
Spreading 1t. TO avoid this they may
40 one Of two thingS-make an effort
90 % spread Il on the side Of the plate or
~ Cno alice Of bread on an outstretched
nano and butter It there. This sounds
EeSner preposterouS, but watch and you
WuI see that some persons who ought to
Know better still employ this childish
method OF getting butter on their bread.
Ot course, the whole point Is that you
should not butter q whole slice Of bread
ae once. You should simply break OF q
morSei OF bread large enough for one or
Two bites, and, holding it between the
tnumn and forefingers of the left hand,
quickly apply a little butter with the
rignt hand. It won't taste a bit better
you have the butter evenly and
smoothly spread, and you may make
yourself quite ridiculous II you take

Get a Kick Out of Cooking

or dinner, make a mental note of the
combination OF foods on the menu. AS
you become an experienced cook you
will be able to decide what ingredients
make up dish of which you are par
ticularly fond. Try these new things
for your home dinners. Even the fancy
ones may be found quite poSSible-or at
least they may be altered to suit your
home needs and pocketbook. Dining
out is, for housewife, not only pleas
ure, but business as well. For 1t is
thus that she gets many of her best
ideas Of what to cook and how to serve
it.
Have you ever paused to consider the
Importance Of the right sort Of bowl in
the kitchen for every need? If you
have bowls that are shallow you are
bound to splash whipping cream about.
II you have wide, low little bowls for
beating egg whites, you make twice as
much work of 1t as Is necessary. If you
use too small bowl for your cake, you
can't beat it up to light frothy mass
without having a good deal of the same
light, frothy mass all over the kitchen
floor.
For cakes, use a large bowl, much
larger than you think you need, and
deep. Then you can beat and beat and
still spatter only the sides of the bowl
instead of the sides Of your frock and
furniture.
Get couple of very small, but deep
bowls for beating one egg yolk or one
egg white. Bowls a little larger but
deep, with almost a pointed bottom, are
fine for whipping cream. Use the larger,
shallow bowls for. such things as gela-
tin puddings or for mixing salads.
Don't run down town and buy bowls
Just because they match your kitchen.
Buy them because they are just the sort
you need-and match your kitchen as q
second thought.
It is just as important that your
kitchen be pleasant and attractive as it
Is that your living room have a cheer
ful atmosphere. In fact, it is almost
more important to have an interesting,
1ivable, workable kitchen, for it is the
laboratory Of the home, the place where
the home-maker spends most of her
time, and her temperament is going to
be affected by it undoubtedly.
The gay bowls in all colors-copper
red, Dutch blue, orange and yellow and
tan, or white If you prefer-that are
now being offered do much to aid in
establishing sensation Of attractive
color harmony in many otherwise pro-
sale kitchens.
Don't use bowls simply for ornamen-
tation. Remember that a kitchen is q
laboratory and should contain scientific
equipment. But make that equipment
as attractive as possible.

to make rubberS unnecessary even when
roads are trifie damp. With these
shoes for walking should be worn Isle
or Silk-and-wool stockings, preferably
in dark beige tone. The day of con-
spicuouSly patterned stockings is fortu-
nately about over.
The two piece suit with rather short
jacket is, as it always has been, the best
possible costume for the pedestrian, and
this season nothing could be smarter.
Even in cold weather this is far better
than a long coat, and the needed
warmth below the hips Is much more
conveniently obtained by culottes than
by q long coat, which adds needless
weight to the shoulders at every step.
This year 1t Is possible to make the
tweed suit serve for walking and for
town wear as well, simply by changing
the accessories. For town wear you may
choose q silk blouse or one of the finer
Jerseys, while for walking a substantial
Jersey Slip-on may be chosen. For town
the furless suit is worn with fox scarf,
for which is substituted wool scarf Of
some sort when setting out on a brisk
walk.
THE newest trick is to wear the trian-
L gular or folded square scarf bib
fashion, with a point in front and the
two other points knotted or crossed at
the back.
The walkers hat should be windproof,
but most hats nowadays come under
that classification. 1t should be as com.
Portable and as light as possible, and
for that reason one OF the beret type Is
usually chosen.

MO matter how well you like to cook,
there are bound to come days
when you simply can't bear the sight Of
the cookstove and you wish that people
were fed by small pills filled with vita
minis and calories instead of by dinners.
And there are bound to come other
days when you can't think of anything
new to make and you are tired to death
Of making the same old thing over and
over again.
There is one good treatment to give
yourself on such days. Get out cook
ing magazine or get out cookbook and
start turning over the pages, reading
any recipes that catch your attention.
If it is cookbook you have, don't turn
to any special place. You'll find your
self automatically turning to the things
you are accustomed to making. Just
wander through the book at random and
read anything that sounds good. If
you have an illustrated book so much
the better-the pictures are sent to
make your mouth water at sight of the
delicious dishes shown.
There are often pictures of things
that look good enough to eat usually
accompanied by the recipe. It Is a fine
thing to try these recipes because very
often they are brand-new ideas brought
out by concerns making certain food
products. Sometimes the list of in
gradients may contain a combination
that sounds exotic to you. But try it
anyway. People are constantly on the
lookout for something new and many
OF these recipes are the result of re-
search and long testing.
1t Is surprising how soon one becomes
interested again in cooking after a Is
minute session with a cookbook.
There Is another thing you may do to
tioe you over time when cooking is a
bore. Whenever you 90 out to luncheon

Book Accessories
Lure Us to Buy

Whatever we may think of the vari-
Gus lists Of the best books to own pre-
scribed by different men of letters and
others of intellect, there are few of us
who don't love books. We like to pos
SesS them. We make room for them in
our homes and consider a room with
out them unfurniShed.
There may be no spare bed to accom-
modate a guest, but there is always
shelf or table room to accommodate
new books.
There is, OF course, bit of fad Just
now in possessing many interesting ac-
cessorieS of reading things to do with
books. But they indicate perhaps SIM
ply the fact that nowadays everybody
can read as well as make his mark;
and that books are SO Widespread lux
ury as to have become a necessity.
AT any rate, most of these little ac-
ceSsories Of the book room are useful as
well as ornamental. Certainly that Is
true OF book ends. It is equally true of
the book stands and reading lamps, book
racks and book marks that the shopS
show in such alluring array.
And 1t is true, too, of the book holder
that hangs from the arm by a strap
handle. This is a delightful possession
when you wish to carry your nature
books afield with you or wish to carry
about any other books.

You may, If you buy perfumes at all,
buy only the rare varieties. If you
were to attend scientific beauty school
Of the type that trains operators for
professional beauty work, you would be
taught just what composes the rare and
the ordinary and why some perfumes
are costly.
Manufacturers of dainty odors are
Jealous Of the formulas. There may be
several reasons, natural enough. When
a certain combination of 20 or more oils
and aromatics proves successful 1t be-
comes a trade secret.
Then, too, some of the ingredients
used are not so inviting to the senses as
the results achieved. But the beauty
student today makes it her business to
visit one or more laboratories that well
come visitors (many of them don't) and
see for herself what goes into the bot
ties that deck her dressing table.
So when she suggests touch Of per-
flIne for your eyebrows after massage
she can use some taste in selecting an

the violet scent, she knows whether OF
not she is giving you a real or syn

real, for violet is the mcSt expensive on
the list 1t costs approximately $1,60C
