struction of the Akron and it's sister ship, the ZRS-5, cost $2,500,- 900, fa the largest building without interior supports in the world, and is big enough to enable the building Of a million cubic foot ship along side the Akron, in addition to housing several balloons, blimps and airplanes in the remaining space.
 Although the Akron IS not be- ing built for commercial uses, if modified for such service it could accommodate 100 messengers and crew of 50, with hll the luxuries and necessities required for them. As a naval ship, however. it is to have a crew of F officers and 45 men.
 Observing the construction ot the Akron here is Lieutenant: Thomas G. w. Settle, l.. s. N.. naval aircraft inspector for this district. Lieutenant Settle has had all-round experience on the os Angeles, is a glider and air plane pilot and balloonist of note.
 The chief purpose of the Akron, according to Lieutenant Settle, for the fleet. It will be the ad- vance eyes of the battle fleet, soar ing high and far in advance, re- leasing its airplanes for scouting 1 farther in advance, and srelaying whatever information it's gets back 1 to the commander -in-chief of the fleet by radio and facsimile trans mission.
 Secondary to the scouting func- ton will be these:
 1. Convoy escort. | 2. Bombardment of enemy ter ritory and combatant ships. l 8. Protection of own lines of enemy's lines.
 4. Destruction of enemy com- merce.
 5. Dispatch and transport. The Akron is the product of more than decade planning and research. Soon after the war, | the U. s. Navy interested itself in the construction of such a ship. Commercial interests headed by Paul w. Litchfield, president of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com- pany. got busy, gained American patent rights for Zeppelin construc- ton from Luftschiffsbau-Zep | ob dozen Zeppelin experts under the | leadership Of Dr. Karl Arnstein among them Dr. Wolfgang Klem- perer and dug into serious and de. tailed research work.
 Did Extensive Research
 After drawing Up hundreds of plans. covering dozens of airship types, testing thousands Of girder forms, joints and other construc- | ton details, the Goodyear-Zeppe- line engineers devised a ship that won two succeeding design com- petitions conducted by the U. S.. Navy, and brought to this com pany the contract for construction Of the Akron and it's sister ship, ZRS-5.
 Some time before the Akron Is delivered to the navy in May. 1881, according to present plans, the ZRS-5 will be started. Eff teen or eighteen months later. that ship will be completed, and then. says Lieutenant Settle, the | United States will have an airship | squadron that will make this country supreme in this class of | naval vessel.

On the wedding night Fortune near

pair. When Napoleon prepared to re-

a comfortable place at the foot Of the

The future emperor protested. Jose
phine upheld the rights of Fortune.
Napoleon, more than a little peeved,
had to accept the dog as bedfel1ow.
Fortune had a sad end. He was killed
by bulldog belonging to Napoleon's
cook. Napoleon hoped Josephine would
not acquire another dog, but she soon
obtained very ugly pug.
"Oh, my friend" said Napoleon to
the bulldog of the chef, can you not

OUR CHILDREN

This Eating.

&AAo A0bA0S
There are many complaints about the
children who will not eat. my child
refuses to eat cereal or any of the
things that are good for him"
Oh, that phrase, good for him" 1t
Is only human to resent doing things
for ones good. The minute we under

do nothing of the sort. Nobody shall

we love to do what Is for our pleasure.
Why not?
The old notion that If child enjoyed
something it was bad for him should
be laid low by this time. 1t is rather
safe to conclude that If what a child
is doing makes him happy it is also
doing him good. II he likes to eat
certain dish allow him to do so in
moderation, providing 1t is not some
thing that nobody should eat, say cab

as your boot. Nobody ought to be
allowed to eat such stuff, not even If it
makes him happy for the time being.
illness is sure to follow.
But 1t is only adults who have such
tastes. Children like young vegetables
that have been cooked in their own
juice and have retained all their oripi-
nal color and flavor. They like green
things like the hearts of lettuce, red
things like tomatoes, gorgeous things
like big brown and gold oranges and
purple plums and amber grapes. And

them very happy.

Failing Child.

When q child begins failing in school
we are not TO begin scolding him. That
will mean two failures where there was
but one.
All children love to succeed. When
child fails it is not because he did
not wish to succeed. He did He
wanted to shine. When the bright
boy answered the hard question and
the teacher praised him, the failure
wished with all his heart that he could
stand in that other lads place. He
he went home and told how he an
swered the question nobody else could
answer and the teacher praised him
and told him he would be President
some day.
Perhaps he boosted wildly out in the
playground of the great things he was
going to do some day. Maybe he told
how he was going to answer that ques-
lion, but he just thought he wouldn't
show of like that big stiff Masterson.
Maybe he did nothing of the sort,
but crepjt home by the back ways to
hide himself in the attic for a good
cry. Maybe there he dreamed Of the
day when he would be the first and
best in all the land. Dreamed until
his anxious mother came looking for
him. tear-stained failure.
Scolding won't help this. In order
10 help child we must first find the
cause Of the failure. Take him back
over the ground after he has found his
self-respect again, and in friendly fash
ion help him to see where and why he
failed. Help him to strengthen his
weak places and send him out hopeful

what he needs.
To strengthen q failing child one
must be both discreet and wise. When
ais breaking point has been found,
cad him TO control the situation. Be-.
yin by easy, easy steps, where he knows
the answer right off, and slowly, lSow.
" climb on from there. Do not hurry.
Remember If he had been strong
enough to go over the ground swiftly
ne would not have failed Take plenty
of time. He must succeed and succeed
until he has the confidence Of the
cock at sunrise. Then let him 90 along
and see what he can do.
Meet a failing child with sympathy
Listen. Soothe him and comfort him
without telling him he is what he is
not a success. But comfort him. Give
aim little job that he can do we'll
and praise him when he does 1t. Then
build him up from there and he will
carry on brsvely.
There are children who are slow.
children who are lazy, who are not
interested, who cannot concentrate
you know the series we'll All of them
come under this head. None of them
fail because they wish to do so. All of
them need help. II Is for the teacher
and parent to study each failing child
and help them where and when and
how they may need help.

helping him. Get down to his trouble.

You haven't any new set of rules TO

only what the average woman or girl
expects Of the person she asks to be
her guest.

sumo debt Of courtesy, which you
repay by being as charming and enter

by word or gesture indicate that your

You need not be falsely enthusiastic
about a show or any other form of

but you must at least assume an APP
pearance of interest and make some In

The girl who makes q practice of
exhibiting what she misconstrueS as
sophistication by criticiZing the food
at every restaurant, leaving in the mid
die of poor show, and denouncing the
music at every dance as simply terri
ble," Is the girl you see with different

boy never asks her twice.
Above all, develop your powers of
intelligent conversation. Set down for

Read as often as you can and about as
many subjects as you can.
Avoid those twin deadly social errors
talking about the other boy with
whom you spend delightful evenings
and a monologue on your own virtues.
If you develop personal charm, the
other boy will be unnecessary bait and
your personal praise will be enthusi-
astically composed by young men who

Not even radiant beauty can long
