bertsons now qualities as an expert.
Mrs. Culbertso1, believe, charged $40
a lesson before the big show got un-
der way. This will possibly be tilted
somewhat. Many who attended few
classes now hang out their shingles,
scaling their lessons down to IS or
thereabouts.
Music teachers and vocal trainers
who have been wondering where their
next pupil was coming from at $5, $40
or more an hour, now look bitterly at
placards in neighboring windows

The Graf's Record

1uc UTd1 NcCOEU
The reliability of lighter-than-air
craft when they are built and handled
by experts was never better exem-
plified than by the record Of the Graf
Zeppelin, which was made public a
few days ago when the big German
airship went into winter quarters.
To date the Graf Zeppelin has
passed 1858 hours in the air, and
has travelled nearly $4,000 kilometers.
She has made 232 trips since she first
took to the air, and during 1881 made
three flights to South America and
one to the Arctic.
All Of this almost sounds more like
the record of a steamship than of
dirigible. It is fairly conclusive proof
that the dirigible is ready to take
