206 ON CRUISE
Of AKRON
TO-DAY
Greatest Number Ever Carried
AIoft "Ship" on U. S. Navy
DirigibIe From Lakehurst

LAKEHURST, N. j., Nov. 8
0NSO Americas queen Of the
skies, the Navy dirigible Akron,
went aloft again this morning
on a training flight with 206
passengers-the largest number
ever taken up in any airship.
The ship arrived early this
morning after an all night flight,
hooked on to the mooring mast
and swayed there in a breeze
until she was refueled and her
1arder reStocked.
Lieut.. Comdr. Charles E.
Rosendahl, the Akron's skipper.
said the ship would cruise over
Philadelphia and New York. No
orders had been received for a
trip over New England.
Students Aboard
The Los Angeles. which had
accompanied her bigger sister
ship on the press flight yester-
day. was still out today, but
naval officials here expected
both dirigibles to return to the
hangar by sun down today.
The 2O6 passengers on the
Akron included 76 officers and
crew, visiting naval officers,
student officers. Marines attached
to the LakehurSt barracks and
some selected members of the
ground crew.
Perhaps 10000, goo earth.bOund
persons saw the Akron and her
sister ship the Los Angeles yes
ter6ay as they glided serenely up
and down the eastern SeabOard.
Air Proves Bumpy
Perfect weather greeted the
Akron yesterday, although early
In the afternoon the air became
quite bumpy in the vicinity of
Philadelphia, causing nervous
mewSpapermen aboard the craft
TO look apprehensively at the nOn-
chalant ROsendahl, who only
seemed amused as the ship tilted
forward and downward, tempo
rary victim Of air pockets.
Admiral William Moffatt. in
charge Of the Bureau of Aero
nautics. said he had never seen
air so bumpy. but he, as we'll as
Rosendahl. was pleased with the
way the new dirigible handled
herself. In all, the first trip of
the Akron as member of the
United States Navy took 10 hours
and during that time approx
mately $50 miles were covered.

EAGLES PLANNING
BIG OUTING

Elaborate plans are being mapped
out by the committee in charge of the
big annual Fourth of July outing to
be held by Butler Aerie No. 407,
Fraternal Order of Eagles. AS usual
it will take place at the fairgrounds
There will be no motorcycle racing
this year, and which has always here
tofore been the big afternoon attrac-
ton, but the committee is providing
many other features to attract and
entertain the thousands expected to
attend.
There will be an immense midway
with its attendant shows, games, de-
vices, etc. There will be the usual
big country store, dancing afternoon
and evening, band concerts, and many
other amusements. An automobile
will be given away free, and of course
the big fireworks display, for which
the outing of the local Eagles Lodge
has won fame throughout the state,
will be shown at night. Lunch and
refreshments of all kinds will be serv-
ed at all times throughout the day,
and everybody is invited.

the engineers journal, were seated.
The gunman's bullet, aimed at Hud-
dell, was stopped by memorandum
book in the left-hand pocket of the
unionist's coat. Langdon lost an eye.
Several shots were fired at PossehI.
Huddell's narrow escape was
treated lightly by him, although the
bullet bruised the flesh near the heart.
Later, however, he had cerebral
hemmorage and was removed to the
hospital
His home and relatives are in Chel-
sea Mass, where the funeral was
held. He was born in Danvers, Mass,
in 1869, and joined the Operating
Engineers Union in 1898. He served
as first vice president from 1908 to
1919. He assumed the office of pres
ident on the death of Milton Snellings

"Duce's" Greeting TO America

The National Broadcasting company
says that the first international pro-
gram ever broadcast from Italy to the
United States was staged on January
l, 1881, when Premier Benito Musso-
lini, speaking from Fascist headquar-
ters In Rome sent his New Year greet
ing to America through coast forecast
networks. This was the first program
ever heard In this country originating
on the Italian mainland. Twice be-
fore, however, listeners had heard pro-
grams from italian waters-from the
yacht of Senators Guglielmo Marconi,
the father of radio, anchored off the
coast Of the peninsula.

Airplanes and Birds

1t has been asked, "Why can't air
planes be made to fly as the bird
fiies?" La Technique Aeronautique
says ut Is well known that the pri-
mary feathers Of birds wing are dis
tinctly separated while In Tapping
flight. Tests made on models simulat-
ing this construction showed that the
lift increased three times, and drag In
creased nine times One Of the most
important assets of the birds wing Is
its flexibility and control-a condition
exceedingly difficult to copy mechani-
cally. Many scientists are studying
the flight Of birds to find any hitherto
overlooked details of natures tech
nlque that will help man In mechani-
cal flying. When inventors produce a
material that has the strength, weight
ratio Of feathers and the hollow bones
OF birds with an engine which has the
efficiency Of birds digestive system
and muscles, 1t will then be easy to
build an airplane as safe as a BIRD
Washington Star.

Washington Not Hailed
as "Second Cincinnatus"

George Washington has sometimes
been called ''the second Cincinnatus"
In allusion to his having been called
to the Presidency from his plantation
at Mount Vernon, to which he retired
after I'D Wing voluntarily resigned his
commission as commander In chief of
the army. But it was William Henry
Harrison, who was called from his es-
tate at North Bend, on the Ohio river,
to be the ninth President Of the United
States, who was termed "the Cincin-
natus Of the West"
In both of these instances the al
fusion Is to the story of the Roman
historian, Livy, relating that In the
year 458 B. c., when the Aequi and
Volsci had shut up the Roman con-
sui, Lucius Minucius, and his army In
defile, and, Rome itself being in
great danger, the Roman senate, In
alarm, had made Lucius Quintius Gin
cinnatus dictator, the messengers sent
to inform him of his appointment,
found him at the plow. Modern inves-
tigators, however, have pronounced the
most attractive parts Of the story fc-

Dense Sulphurous Fog
Precursor OF PLAGUE

In his Scenes and Legends" Hugh
Miller relates that zone night In the
month Of August, 1894, cold east
wind, accompanied by a dense sui
phurous fog, passed over the country,
and the half-filled corn was struck
with mildew. 1t shrank and whitened
In the sun, till the fields seemed as IL
sprinkled with flour, and where the
fog had remained longest-for in some
places 1t stood up like q chain Of
hills during the greater part Of the
night-the more disastrous were It's
effects" In November, a pestilence
broke out, when many Of the people
were seized by Strange feyers, and
sore fiuxes Of most infectious ma
ture." In the parish Of West Calder,

manufacturers, aided by competent
staff would be helpful, and even nee
essary, in effecting these readiust-
ments without the continuing friction
which has characterized the industry
in recent years"
Unashamed and adorned with high
motlve-the company union-the per-
sonnet man and the efficiency system
was the best the committee could offer
to correct the grievances of the
strikers which the committee called
minor"
Discontinuance of the strike was
recommended in the following words:
Only the most cogent reasons
justify the continuance of the present
strike in view of the present unem-
ployment emergency. Since there is
no evidence that such compelling rea-
sons exist, this committee recon-
mends the discontinuance of the
strike.
Strike Pushed With Vigor
The report found little favor in the
eyes of the strikers whose grievances
the committee dismissed so lightly
with a recommendation that the en-
ployers Consider" them.
The strikers dissatisfaction with
the cavalier treatment accorded them
found expression in extensive picket
ing reminiscent of the early DAYS in
the strike. The hosiery knitters were
determined that the report should
have no influence on those whom the
report evidently was aimed at-the
weaklings, the doubters and fence
sitters.
No defections from the strikers
ranks were found, and if the manu-
facturers hoped the report would
break the strike, they discovered their
mistake. Not only were the ranks of
the strikers strengthened by the re-
port, they were added to by workers
in the mills to whom the reports
statement of their alleged, minor
grievances" was the last straw.

Keep Up Old Custom

1t is significant that, although In the
country, owing no doubt to stress of
circumstances, many old customs have
died out, in London ceremonies dis
family connected with them still linger.
For instance, farmers once gave their
laborers the traditional "Plow Monday
Supper" to celebrate the beginning Of
another years plowing.
1t would be hard to find a farm
where the custom is still kept up, but
the lord mayor keeps the festival by
giving a Plow Monday dinner to all
the officials Of the city corporation
London Morning Post.

REPORT ON STRIKE

Philadelphia, Pa. (ILNS)-After
months of alleged research, Mayor
Mackey's fact finding committee has
issued its report on the general hos
iery strike against wage cuts, the
yellow dog contract and the II and
13-hour day.
The report, as seen by union men,
is unworthy of the really capable men
who signed it. The committee con-
sists of William H. Fineshriber, chair
man; George w. Taylor, Morris
Leeds, Otto Mallery, Philip H Gads-
den.
1t is thinly yelled endorsement of
company unions, the right of rugged
individual to run his shop without
interference" and expresses child.
like faith in the fatherly wishes of
hosiery mill bosses toward their en-
ployes. The report states: "If the
future OF hosiery production in Phila-
delphia is not to be marked by indus
trial warfare, then it is necessary to
understand the causes of the present
strike and to eliminate them in so far
as that is possible"
