R-1OO NEARLY MET DISASTER
IN STORM, BUT MAKES TRIP
LARGEST AIRSHIP IN WORLD,
ARRIVES IN CANADA
Cyclonic Current HurIs Ship $500
Feet Upward, Tearing Fabric Is
by 6 Feet From Port Fin

The British Dirigible R-100, a
sailor home safe from the sea,
swung gently at her mooring mast
Friday, behind her $500 miles of
epic voyage that almost ended in
disaster. This dirigible is the
largest airship in the world and
the first to be flown by the British.
Speeding down the st. Lawrence
river valley, just $50 miles from
st. Hubert's mast and safety, the
mighty air voyager, with its Al
passenger, was struck by a 'cy-
clonic current" which hurled it
25O0 feet straight upwards and
tore a great hole in her fragile ar
NOR. The damage was repaired
and the big ship proceeded slowly
into Montreal, anchoring at her
mast at 4,38 a. M, just 78 hours
and 81 minutes after taking off
from Cardington, England, on her
flight to the New World. officers
told tht they were talking for pub
lication, made light of the danger
encountered. The men, not SO
constrained, spoke more freely.
Their story was one to make the
heart quicken with Thanksgiving
for the peril that was past, a peril
that struck with a speed and
ferocity of a serpent. Just the
other side of Quebec, they said, a
strong upcurrent of cyclonic force
caught the R-100, and hurled it
virtually standing on its nose, al
most $500 feet in less than half a
minute. It was during that ter
rife moment, when all aboard Just
crossed their fingers and waited,
that strip of fabric about Is by
6 feet was ripped from the port
fin, opening a hole as big as a
barn door into the great envelope,
exposing the intricate interior of
the largest airship ever built TO
the fury of the storm. The A
men on the R-100 debarked almost
as soon as it was secured to the
mooring mast Saturday morning.
They were all given days liber-
ty and the ship was turned over
during refueling to a detachment
of the crew sent over here from
England several months ago. Next
week there begins two-week
program of receptions and flights
around Canada, and then the great
ship repaired and ready once more
to thunder down the highways of
the sky. will take off for the re-
turn journey to its home port in
England.

SCHOOL NEAR COMPLETION
Work Finished on Milford School
Within 2 Weeks for Use in Fall

Work on the new high school
building at Milford will be COM
pleted in two weeks and the build
ing will be ready for use at the
fall term. This new building will
be used for a junior and senior
high school while the grammar
classes will be heard at the old
school building on North and Sec
ond street. With the opening of
the new school building the rooms
in the Masonic Building on Front
street, which were used last term
to relieve the crowded condition of
the old school building, will be
given up on the classes, which
have been housed there will be
transferred to the grammar school
building, which will also take care
of the elementary grades. Four
walls have been torn out of the old
school building to make larger
rooms to make room for larger
classes resulting from the consol-
idation of rural districts. The
Charles Kadner home. which was
purchased by the school board and
which adjoins the old school
school grounds has been sold and
is this week being razed. This
will afford much larger play
grounds and greatly improve the

CAPE MAY-REH0BOTH SWIM
PROVES UNSUCCESSFUL
WILLARD MCCONNELL, della
WARE CITY, ATTEMPTS SWIM
Adverse Tide and Strong Winds
Forced Mcconnell TO Leave Wat
er Three Miles From Coast

Willard Mcconnell, of Delaawre
City, employed by the Wilmington
Trust Company in Wilmington, at
tempted the Cape May-Rehoboth
swim on Saturday, July 26th, and
failed due to the change of tide
and strong wind. Mcconnell left
Lewes in the Coast Guard Boat
with Capt. Wingate and his crew
for Cape May on Saturday morn
ing at s o'clock. At 1890 o'clock
he left the shore at Cape May
Point bound for Rehoboth in his
attempt to make the distance
across the Delaware Bay, stunt
that has never been accomplished
by any swimmer. He reached a
point about and one-half miles
from the Outer Breakwater and
was in good condition and swim
ming in fine stroke when the tide
changed and he was gradually
forced in the opposite direction; if
he had stayed in the water he
would have been compelled to re-
main until the change in tides and
have been far up the Delaware
Bay. Upon the advise of Capt.
Wingate he was taken from the
water and although slightly chilled
from the water he was in perfect
condition. Mcconnell has attempt
ed the swim on four occasions and
on one of these came within a
shorter distance than on his prev
ious trials. It is the opinion of
many of this section, who have
seen him swim, that he will be the
man to accomplish the swim in the
near future if he can have all the
elements of tide, wind, etc, in his
favor. Mcconnell will make an
other attempt later in the season
unless he changes his present
plans. Earl Stauffer. of Lancaster,
Pa, and Doc Dougherty of East
Orange, N. j., are two other swim
mers whom it is claimed have a
good chance of making the dis
tance. Plans are being made to
have three swimmers together
with 'Moby" Dick, who at the
present time is in the south pre-
pairing for long swim down the
Mississippi, make the attempt to-
gether to conquer this Delaware
Bay swim.

Establishment of testing and
development laboratory. by the
Anthracite Institute at Primos,
Delaware County, was announced
recently by Noah H. Swayne, ex-
ecutive director of the institute,

to answer any question which the
consumer may raise with refer
ence to the efficiency and practi-
cability of equipment utilizing
the coal which the reaoiler is sell
ing. The Anthracite Institute has,
in turn, accepted its obligation to
provide the retail merchants with
this basic information. Mr. Allen
]. Johnson, director of the labora-
tory, formerly combustion engin-
eer with Anthracite Coal Service,

chosen his personnel and testing
equipment to that end and has in

boiler. The boilers were further
selected to cover the requirements
of testing all types of auxiliary
equipment on the market, ranging
from those intended for the small
est home to devices for the larger
residences and commercial build
ings. A careful study will be con-
Quoted to increase the efficiency
and convenience of equipment de-

GRIN, DON'T GRUMBLE
(Northfield News)

This is time for cool heads and sane speech
but during political campaign neither prevails.
The "outs" in their feversh efforts to displace the
Gins" will paint the darkest picture imaginable In
contrast with the dire picture some candidates for
office will paint, the st. Peter Herald published the
wholesome philosophy of former Nicollet county
farmer, resident of the state of Washington.
"He says nowhere else in America is the farmer
better off than in southern Minnesota. He told of
cousin who came here from Germany forty years ago
without dime, who settled some southern Min
nesota land and today is able to buy him out ten
times. Now he says he is sorry he ever left here,
although he has prospered where he is.
1--WE Americans" he says, are inclined to grumb-
lie when there is no whatsoever. Why the
present generation is earning its daily bread in half
the time and with half the sweat their parents had
to produce. The next generation is going to live
without manual labor at all Look at the progress
our civilization is making just within normal life
span. That is only start what expect
tomorrow. When hear my fellow farmers kick,
it makes sick because belong to the older gen
Grafton who knows what hard times were. This is
Ia great country and anybody who kicks and grumb-
les about it won't be satisfied in heaven
