 Planes Hook On Trapeze
 Each plane will carry an engag- ing hook on its upper wing. A tube carrying the hook will extend forward far enough to act as par tial guard protecting the propeller against damage in striking the cross bar of the trapeze.
 When a plane approaches the trapeze, which will extend Is feet or more below the dirigible, the hook will be automatically locked to the cross bar, and the shock ab- sorbed by movement and friction of the support.
 The plane may then be pulled by a winch into the storage compart- ment. It will then be attched to a mono-rail pulley and pushed over to it's station
 Help Ward Off Attack
 The planes are expected to add to the scouting values of the airship and aid in warding off attacks in war operations.
 The navy's interest in using air planes with airships dates from 1919 when light plane was launched from a lighter-than-air craft. Serious study of the possi- bilities began in 1927 with the Los Angeles, after attaching and launching experiments had been made by the army air corps.

HAROLD LLOYD STARS TONIGHT
 IN FEET FIRST
Famous Comedian Will Be Seen in Thrilling Com
 edy at Coliseum

Harold Lloyd appears tonight in, Feet First" at the Coliseum.
 Harold is seen as an ambitious young apprentice shoe clerk who, in his effort to make good with his employer gets into all kinds of humorous situations-putting gun boat sized shoes on the cute toot- sies of his employers wife; crash ing society ball in order to im- press a young lady he falls in love with; finding himself aboard trans-Pacific steamer without a ticket; hiding in mail bag only to be picked up and carried with the mail on ship-to-shore air plane, and finally landing on q painters scaffolding in mid-air, wrapped up in the mailbag.
 Hair Raising Thrills.
 Then follow those hair-raising thrills which are so typically Lloyd. He wriggles free from the bag, looks about him, and realizes with horror that a slight jolt will cata- putt him hundreds of feet to the ground below. He almost loses his grip in one screaming lurch after another, but finally makes safe descent to terra firma.
 Deserves to Win
 Needless to say he wins the girl-- and he deserves to, after such a hazardous experience.
 The girl is Barbara Kent. Oth- CTS in the cast are Robert Mc- Wade, Alec Francis and Lillianne Leighton.
