Jersey and Pennsylvania, where Quakers played
q prominent part in colonization; in North and
South Carolina. where they migrated and in
Indiana and Ohio.
Mr.. Price has studied the oldest meeting
houses in England, where the religion of the
Society Of Friends originated. There is the Et-
ungton meeting house, where George Fox, the
leader who founded the Society of Friends,
preached. Built in the late Gothic style with
mullioned windows, it is quite different from the
ones Mr.. Price designed to catch the spirit
of the early Quakers in America.
THE vice president of the Washington con-
cern which is translating Mr.. Prices plans
to stone and wood John c. Scharf, says that
the building is costing about $70,0 1t will be
completed before Christmas in order that it can
be dedicated by the new year.
The Quaker meeting house by contrast Is
diminutive and will accommodate only hand
full of people. 1t will be wholly inadequate TO
house the crowds that will beseige it out of the
curiosity that pursues a President even to his
place of worship.

had been made to slaughter it. In so many
willy ways had 1t escaped that the natives had
begun to believe it sacred. Eventually they let
1t alone, and for years and years it could be
seen almost every day basking lazily in the hot
noon sun ON the same sand bank out In the
middle Of the river. After meal from some
cache where its supplies were kept, crawling
onto this sand bank, it would comfortably en-
sconce itself and open its prodigious mouth.
Soon dozens Of crocodile birds would settle On
its monstrous head hop inside the gaping jaws
and commence picking the luscious remnants
from its teeth.
This crocodile was so lazy that it would
lie still for hours, half-submerged, while fish
would swim into the open trap. BY and BY,
when probably half a dozen nice sized breakfasts
were swimming around inside the jaws, it would
suddenly close its mouth, lift its head and turn
from side to side its eyes laughing and winktng
as If to say, What do you think of that now2
Food floats free right into the old veterans
stomach Then, satisfied it had captured your
attention, it would slowly open its jaws and
out would pop the imprisoned fish. The old
crocodile used to wag and flap its tail every
time it turned the trick, greatly enjoying the
joke.
"The natives down there say it met its end
because of an accident One day, while the zic-
FAC birds were busily engaged in picking its
teeth possibly in a dream, it Unexpectedly
closed its mouth and ground several of the birds
to death. The zic-zac hocks thereafter never
forgave the old boy and left him strictly alone
None of them would venture near to pick its
teeth after that, or to eat up the army OF
leeches and other parasites that infested It's
mouth. AS q result, the old veteran died Of
toothache."

high fare passenger and cargo traffic from
railroads and coastwise steamers, while airships
will take over similar traffic from ocean-golng

Airships will constitute commercially an ad-
ditional channel of transportation over the
oceans complementing the older channels,
Out of it's gross lift of little over 2Go tons, the
Akron commercial ship could carry useful
load Of about 100 tons, which is as much as two
average freight cars will hold, and a small
fraction of the pay-load carried by a modern

cargoes will be relatively NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Being rigid airship and being built accord
ing to the latest standards, the Akron viii be a
model for safety. The fact that heliun1 Is it's
lifting gas and not hydrogen makes the ship
completely safe from fire. Helium, although
slightly less buoyant than hydrogen, is nom
infiammable and therefore much safer.
1t should, however be pointed out that this
airship, with its 6,50OO00 cubic feet of helium
gas, will carry about the same useful load as
hydrogen-inf1ated ship some Is per cent smaller
in volume. The difference in size makes a diff
ference in cost but this difference Is worth
the safety received in return. Were helium
readily available in England and Europe as it
is in America, the Graf Zeppelin, the R-1Oo
and other airships there undoubtedly would
be filled with it in return for the safety this gas
affords. 1t was the lack of helium that forced
England to substitute the highly dangerous
hydrogen in the R-101, which caused such
disaster when the ship fell and was burned in
France.
A MOTHER outstanding safety feature of tbs
Akron, as well as the Los Angeles and
other rigid airships, is what is called its triple
layer principle of hull"-one, the gas cell or
series of cells, for the retention of the lifting
gas; two, the metal framework surrounding
these cells, taking up all stresses, securing
maximum strength with minimum weight and
three the whole inclosed by taut doped and
wire-braced fabric "outer cover for protection
against the elements, rejecting heat and OfeT=r

The ZR-1 was the Inflated Shenandoah, built
in this country by the u. S. Navy commissioned

for the U. S. Navy by the British and destroyed

for the men in the control room.
Within the airship alongside the gangways
will be over 100 aluminium fuel tanks, some Is
of them large enough to carry 2,4o0 pounds, or
400 gallons, OF aviation fuel and others carry
ing 735 pounds of fuel each. Altogether the
fuel capacity of the Akron will total 50 tons.
In addition to this weight the ship will carry
about six tons of emergency ballast in three
ply rubberized bags with capacities of 1000
pounds EACH. Other bags holding up to 4,400
pounds each will be distributed with the fuel
tanks along both sides of the ship.
Both fuel tanks and water ballast bags will
be controlled from the main control room by
means Of overhead toggles so that their contents
may be released Immediately at the will of the
captain From the smaller bags the water
ballast will be dropped in one mass usually for
taking off or landing, while out Of the larger
bags the ballast will be Waived at the rate of
about IS pounds a second

Is left, the fuel, too, can be dumped by merely

TT would be comparatively easy to build the
Akron type of vessel as a passenger and
cargo-carrying airship. Passenger accommoda-
tions would be built into another bay of the
ship, while dining saloon, lounge and other
facilities would be provided The number OF
passengers the ship could carry would depend
on the comforts arranged. The greater and
more luxurious the comforts the fewer passen-
gers could be accommodated. The maximum,
however, with any degree of comfort would be
100 passengers.
Construction of the Akron and its sister ship,
the ZRS-5 will cost the Navy Department
So coo 900. Compared with the cost of building
q modern surface cruiser this is considered
low fgure. The airshps annual cost of main
tenance should be only a fraction that of the
cruiser.
Comparatively low in cost, however, the
Akron lends itself to widespread and varied
naval possibilities its safety above that of
other existing types, its control, maneuverability
and range easier and more far-reaching.

But to return to the Quaker meeting in

his associates design school buildings hotels
and other pretentious structures, but he has an

POLLARD CALLS
SEAL MEETING
Anti Tuberculosis League
To Elect Officers,
Discuss Plans

A meeting of the Cameron Coun-
ty ntt-Tuberculosis Association has
been called for 3 p. m. Friday at
the Brownsville Chamber Of Com
merce by DR.. A. J. Pollard, Harlin-
gen, president Of the association.
Election Of officers is the prin-
cipal matter TO come up at the
meeting, but organization for the
winters campaign viii also be dis
cussed. AL members are especially
urged to attend this meeting. and
others interested are cordially in
vited TO be present.
Officials Of the organization say
that they expect a much more con
structive program this year than
last, which was the first year OF
It's operation in Cameron county.
Plans are to get the various town
organizations working and the sale
of the Red Cross Christmas seals
started as early as possible. II Is
hoped that every corporate town
in the county will have represen-
tatives at the Friday meeting.
Since the organization of the
association 90 per cent of all money
taken In from the sale of the seals
remains in the town in which the
seals are sold. to be used directly
in anti-tuberculosis work there.
The association has been keeping
up work throughout the summer
among tubercular patients TO the
extent allowed by funds.
