AKRON, O., March 11.--Luxur- ies of the kind found on ocean lin- CTS are being built into two new dirigibles here for the P acifiC Transport Zeppelin corporation.
 The dirigibles are expected to begin regular flight schedules over the Pacific in 1882.
 Interiors of these ships, as proph- esied by the designs, will be much like the modern club, possibly on the theory that fear is barbarous emotion and sophisticated sur roundings will conquer it.
 Passenger accommodations will be entirely within the hull. This makes possible many comfort pro visions which are not possible where cabins are suspended from the out side.
 Thene will be 12,000 feet of deck space on each ship, which will car- " approximately 100 persons. De- signs include promenades, equipped with comfortable window seats through which passengers may look straight down through slanting windows; lounges, a dining salon and smoking rooms, besides large comfortable staterooms, equipped with berths, dressing table, chairs and desk.
 Carrying passengers inside the hull instead of outside is made possible chiefly by the use of non combustible helium gas which elim- mates much of the danger of fire.
 Danger from lightning is also largely eliminated, both by use of the non-inflamable gas, and by binding the entire metal frame of the ship into general contact, part with part.
 This contact produces what is really large model of a "Faraday cage" which can dissipate a light ming charge.

Smartest Style Of Day Is Mid-Victorian
BY IMAGERY TAYLOR
Interior Decoration Editor, McCal

Interior Decoration Editor McCalrs Magazine. Written for the Herald
 The terrible crime of being mid Victorian" is about to become the smartest Of virtues in decoration.
 We start in by laughing and end up by welcoming, even into our ultra modern rooms, the very styles that mother finally banished to the attic to keep peace in the family,
 Strange as it seems until you've tried 1t, the generous curves of Vic torian furniture and the romantic tondness for the pretticst of pretti- ness, don't go at all badly with the more sophisticated of our pc r!od styles.
 Right in the midst of Georgian. Bicdcrmeier, French and the heaven Of plainness we call modern we dare to outsmart the smart by bringing in Victorian. And it helps room too Europe began to see that ten years ago.
 But not all Victorian, Ornate, yes, but not the really ugly. And not black walnut. golden oak, birds eye maple. black oak mission or brass beds. Nor are the stuffy dark green or high-pile red velours and plushcs coming back.
 You may have the elaborate wooden frames, but the upholstery fabric should be satin. washable leather, moire, necdlcwork, cordu- roy and thin cotton and silk vclvcts in light, bright colors. Tufting is permitted, but that's nothing 10 a modern vacuum cleaner.
 Who knows where this going back to the old love will lead Us? We shall walk on flowered carpets and gaze at wallpaper or flowers and scrolls.
 The alabaster urn has become so new and popular as vase or lamp that We fail to recognize it as an old and cherished friend of Nicto- rian mothers.
 And now, few daring spirits who have lawns are shamelessly Haunting iron deer, and those who are lawnless are bringing those terrible things as We used 10 call them, into the hallway.

FRACTURES

Fractures are emergencies. Usu- ally they occur quite suddenly, and Of necessity there is q delay of varying length between their occur rences and the arrival Of aid. The proper handling of the pa tent during this waiting period may spare him complications and as sure him an unevcntful and speedy recovery.
 Bone fractures are common acci- dents They are usually due 10 yio- fence resulting from a blow or from a fall.
 There are several types of frac- lures with which every individual ought to be acquainted. In the young. we often have what is 1 known as a green stick fracture. l This type of fracture is properly described by it's name in that when i the bone breaks 1t does not break through and through but only part ly through the shaft, as when . green twIg is bent.
 A simple fracture is a fracture or break across and through the entire shaft Of the bone but not involving the feshy tissues sur rounding it.
 A simple fracture becomes a com pound fracture when, in addition to the breaking of the bone, there Is a flesh wound leading from the break to the surface of the body.
 A fracture in which the bone j. broken in more than one place is called 4 commnuted fracture.
 Through careless handling a sim pie fracture may easily bc convert cd into a compound fracture. Th
 edges Of the bone at the breaking point arc usually sharp.
 If a broken limb IS carclessll moved about. or force is applied tt it, the edge of the bone may bt
 forced through the flesh surround ing 1t and the fracture thereby be
 comes "compounded" by wount
 which almost invariably becomes
 infected.

Life was so quiet and peaceful un- der the ice in the Smiling Pool that Stumpy. the three-legged son of Jer- ry Muskrat, gradually forgot that there was anything to fear. He for got that there were such things as hungry enemies who would be glad Of a young Muskrat for dinner. lie couldn't know that certain folk were hungricr than ever in this cold weather. for the simple reason that they seldom had enough to eat, You sec. storms and bitter cold weather made hunting difficult, and among those who ate meat full stomachs were seldom known. Only those who slept all winter or who. like Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and Chattercr the Red Squirrel and Striped Chip munk, had stored up food Tn the days Of plenty, knew what 1t was not 10 be hungry. The family of Jer- rv Muskrat should be included with these. While they had not stored much food they had stored some. But they didn't need to store fool. They had but to swim out and dig up roots in the bottom Of the SmIi- ing Pool or a few fresh water clans And the weather. as you know. made no difference to them.
 So. living so quietly and peacefully. Stumpy forgot that there was any thInp for A young MuSkrat to fear. It seemed to him that no one in all the Great World could be safer. Thus he wasn't prepared for the warning brought him by Jumper the Hare, and even when he had receiv- ed that warning he didn't take 1t seriously. He had climbed out on hls favorite tussock beside the open water Of the Laughing Brook just above the Smiling Pool. There was an alder swamp there and Jumper used 10 come down for an occasion al visit. He was waiting right near that tussock when stumpy climbed out.
 Hello. stumpy;" said Jumper i've brought you some news"
 q hope it is good news" replied stumpy with d grin.
 That is for you to say" Jumper said. Who do you think l have socn?"
 'T haven't the least idea. Who have you accn?" asked Stumpy.

TARD1 PUPILS Ry Alice JulSou pcNlc

The first graders al q certain pun- lie school are severely reprovcd by their teacher whenever they arrive late.
 Sometimes they arc even sent 10 the principal to be thoroughly scolded Trained educators appar- entity do not understand child n2- ton in the ordinary homo when they give q child Of six or seven punish mcnt for being t#rdy. The situa- tion, however. is a common one n public schools throughout the coun- try.
 One little first grader vas so dis tressed by the scoldings she re- ccived for being tardy that she de- veloped the habit of vomiting at the time each morning when she should have started to school.
 Actually the responsibility for tardiness in the first and second grader falls entirely upon the home.
 When mothers feel school authori- ties arc not as understanding on this point as they should be it would be well worth while for them 0 speak 10 those in charge. They should have an understanding Which would place the responsibility for punctuality where it belongs.
 Little children, Of course should learn the necessity for meeting ap- pointments They cannot learn # all at once, however, and it is m, fair to make them feel the burden of Wrongdoing when they fail.
 If parents are faithful in meeting the responsiD Dility for punctuality y of children in the first and second grades there will be no difficulty iIi their forming desirable habits.
 By the time the child is nine ol len years old he will be able and willing 10 assume this responsibility for itself.
