Economy or Lack of Faith


built for the Nays use in time OF
war, the two dirigibles to be constructed
by an Akron rubber company in reality
.epresent an effort by the United States
to encourage foundation of CONNER
cial lighter-than-air industry in this
country. One of these ships, the IRIS
4. is expected to be ready sometime
in MAY of 1881. Work on the other,
the ZRS-5, has not begun.
The news today indicates that the
Navy Department is seriously consider
ing conceling the contract for con-
struction of the ZRS-5, apparently in
line with the Governments drive for
economy and the saving of money
already appropriated or authorized.
Congress evidently had the same
thought in mind during its considera-
ton of the appropriations for the two
dirigibles, as 1t inserted an amendment
to give the Secretary of the Navy the
authority that he would exercise in
canceling the contract.
OF the three powers that have fig
ured prominently in construction and
use of lighter-than-air craft since the
war, Germany, with its world-circling
Graf Zeppelin, has, of course, led the
way. England has just sent her R-loo
across the ocean and is completing the
R-1ol as her bid for fame. The United
States, with its German-built Los An
geles, has done virtually nothing in the
Zeppelin field and its construction OF
the ships at Akron has been its first
serious effort to compete. If the pro-
gram for the building Of the ZRS-4 and
the ZRS-5 is curtailed now, the step
will naturally be interpreted in many
quarters as a disappointing lack Of
faith in the future of the Zeppelin as
a practical instrument in war or COM
merce. Serious doubt will be thrown
on the prospect Of developing a private
industry in the United States that
might later be expected to stand on its
feet if the Navy indicates its unwilling
ness to go on through with what it has
started.
If the lighter-than-air ship is to
play the part in future commerce that
has been so widely heralded by the
spectacular feats of the Graf Zeppelin
the United States would be penny wise
and pound foolish to halt its program
Of building these ships. The relative
savings to be effected by building the
two ships together would represent the
real economy. But If the Zeppelin is
not to develop and the Navy has given
up hope of its ever developing beyond
the uses to which the Los Angeles, say,
has been put, why build any more OF
the ships? Let Germany and Eng
land go ahead and do the experiment.
ing while we save our dollars for bet
ter things.
Hating construction of the ZRS-5
before it ever has been started might be
done in the name of economy. But it
would represent, more than anything
else, lack of faith in the airship
either for military or for commercial
purposes. If the faith is there the two
and a half millions that the zRS-5 will
cost would be spent without a mo-
ment's delay.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Mosquito.
He comes a-singing in the night
A thing of terror; yet so small!
It's useless to attempt to fight,
And all in vain for help you call.
He scorns so slight thing as wealth.
When his dread visits make you vince;
His quest demands your rest and health
OF graft he is the very prince.
He takes the public for his prey:
Ano, not content with fattening,
He leaves before he goes away
Mementos that will smart and sting.
He has been caught. But oftener far
In safety he has fed and laughed,
To hear you curse your luckless star
He is the very prince of graft!

 The tissue was severed by Dr. Alexis Carrel and has been cul- tlYated ever since in the labora- tories of the Rockefeller insti- ute.
