''Fzivver Blimp" Nea0 Air Baby

This Is where helium proves to be q factor
American airships use this n-infiammable
gas In place Of hydrogen. Due to the fact that
heiium Is q comparatively recent discovery and
because Of the great amount required in sucl,
airships the Los Angeles it is popularity
supposed that hellum is a highly expensive
commodity.
As a matter of fact. the production of helium
has now increased to such a point that the new
gas Is rapidly becoming as cheap as hydrogen
In March, 1880, its cost had reached a new
low level OF $l22S per 1000 cubic feet
TT is safe to estimate that one of the .flivyer
blimps" can be inflated with non-infam-
mable helium for a sum ranging between $500
and 5000. and that the supply of gas should
last for cruising season and then be partly
reclaimed for further USE
This factor provides for the final element of
safety in the navigation of the air yacht and
makes its practicability subject only to mechan-
ical construction-and Capt. Heinen, q man
OF practical experience. is confident on that
point.
Capt Heinen is q naturalized American
citizen. He has leased an airport at Atlantic
City for term Of two years, and 1t is there
that his first "fiivver blimp" is to take 10 the

first ship. 1t Capt Heinens innovations work
as he has planned them. there will be air.
yacht fields throughout the country and the
building of "fivver blimps" will begin IN
earnest.
1t is understood that the former Zeppelin
commander has made other inventions for use
In the air yacht and that the details of these
have not yet been announced. His expert
naents with the first air yacht may produce,
unexpected developments that will hasten thS
realization of his ambitions

FURTHERMORE, the cost of lifting gas is
but a fraction of the total cost Of the ship
This may seem surprising to those who have
read of the great expense incurred In initiating
large dirigibles and the additional expense
caused by loss Of gas, but the facts are easily
understood by comparing the size Of &n air
yacht with that of the Graf Zeppelin.
The mighty monarch of the sky has ca
pacity of 3710000 cubic feet Beside this the
gas bag Of the "flivver bimp" dwindles into
insigniicance. The hydrogen used In the Graf
Zeppelin would be sufficient to supply 1O6 air
yachts!
Loss Of gas thus becomes item Of the
same relative proportion; with the single bag
Of the "hivver blimp" 1t Is probable that very
little gas will be wasted. single supply OF
gas should prove sufhcient for an entire cruis-
ing season.
Hydrogen Is an inflammable gas. 1t intro
duces the element Of danger. Despite the safety
that has been experienced on board the Graf
Zeppelin it is probable that the owner Of an
air yacht might have qualns regarding the
dangerous supply of explosive vapor IN the bag
above him.

gas bag and store it, along with the gondola
and other parts, in q garage.
The commercial value of the air yacht nat
urally depends upon its cost-both the initial
expenditure and the operating expenses. The
cruising expense has been estimated at 1925
an hour; this amounts to approximately cents
a mile with the ship travelling at top speed.
The cost of the craft has been set at less
than $4,000 Like all other vehicles Of trans
portation "fiivver blimps" can be made sub
ject to the law Of quantity production. Should
they fulfill Capt. Heinen's predictions, 1t Is
a certain fact that models will be produced
and sold at lower prices.

 George Sidney, Charlie Murray, Vera Gordon and Kate Price are together again in this latest of Uni versal's uproarious "Cohen and 1Ael- ly' series.
 As for the story, suffice to say that the Cohcns and Kellys, unknown to each other, start out for Scotland with the idea of making q fortune off the natives. They find that they were exceedingly optimistic in their intentions. In so tough a spot do they find themselves that they sink their ancient enmity to become partners again.
 The intellectual attempts Of Cohen and Kelly 10 play golf, their antics when they bet on the horse races and Cohen trying to talk Scotch, all are extremely comical.
 Prominent in the cast are l.. J Radcliffe, William Colyin and Lloyd Whitlock,

New Line Completes Continuous Stretch to Canadian Border

Washington, D. C., April 4.-"Thc first railroad to connect two Central American republics has been com- plctcd between Salvador and Guate- maIa." says bulletin from the Washington. D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 'The new road affords a continu- ous rail line from south Salvador to Canada except for the width of the Suchiate river between Guatemala and Mexico. Moreover, the new line connects with q Guatemala railroad leading to Puerto Barrios, Guatemala. on the Gulf of Honduras, thus affording an Atlantic outlet for Salvador.
 t.100 Miles Saved
 Thus shippers of the eastern United States and Europe see a chance to save about HOO miles of slow water transportation as re- suit Of the availability of the port facilities at Puerto Barrios," con- tinues the bulletin. Heretofore cargoes to and from Atlantic ports of thhe United States, and from the ports of Europe. were routed through the Panama Canal for Sal vador which spreads along the Pacific coast. at no point nearer than 100 miles from the Atlantic coast
 The United States is the source of more than half of the Salvador imports and nearly all the remain der comes from Europe.
 Although Estados United States) appears in nearly every class of Salvador imports, drug stores in Salvador cities display Italian sul- phur, German perfumed soap and French perfumes and cosmetics. In hardware stores travellers see Ger man steel iron and nickel products. In the mems shops Italian made hats are for sale while, in a nearby wine shop. there are French, Spanish and German wines.
 One may sit in a Salvador living room reading a newspaper printed on German paper by light which comes through a window pane from Belgium. In the next room the din- ner table may be set with such products as tea and rice from China,
