skies for thousands Of miles. Members of the
crew will be able to walk as many miles day
as they like for exercise as three gangways or
corridors will extend the full length of the ship
so that a man would need to walk only three
and half round trips to cover mile.
These corridors will give access to every part
Of the airship. Any part of the tremendous
gas cells may be reached and repaired in flight
and the crew may be distributed to battle sta
lions within few seconds.
ONE of the unique features will be the housing
Of the motors inside the airship. The pro-
pellers will be driven through a gear box and
may be swiveled to drive the airship forward
or upward or to act as brakes. The control
surfaces, including rudders and elevators, which
control the motion Of the ship from side to side
or up and down, viii be the largest ever con-
structed for any machine built by man. They
will be so large that the firms upon which they
are mounted viii be able to house machine
guns and an emergency control room. The
control car, which win be the brains Of the air
monster, viii be placed well forward, projecting
below the hull, but built as an integral part

fly and could limp along on only one OF its eight
separate engines
THESE ships are able to rise at the rate of
1000 feet minute by dropping ballast while
they are travelling forward over 80 miles
hour" Mr.. ingalls, explained THE faster
pursuit plane is unable to climb at like rate
Of speed and in order to climb at all loses a
very great deal of its forward speed. As the
crew of the rigid airship would undoubtedly see
the ship from which any attacking airplanes
would have to be launched at least as soon as
the crew of the ship saw the rigid airship. an
airplane attack may be considered negligible,
for surface vessel would probably be unable
to head into the wind, prepare pilot and plane
for flight and launch the same before the
Zeppelin would be out of sight. And, in any
event, the plane could pursue for only half its
cruising range, when it must return to its
mother ship be lost at sea. Should an air.
plane attack be impending the rigid airship
may first launch its five or six fighting planes
as a means Of defense and further may use the
16 machine guns strategically located at various
points Of the great ship.
I'm view of all this, the modern dirigible Is
practically invulnerable when operated at sea.
It affords the Navy Department an incom-
parable means of scouting for its fleets and an
unusually mobile atrplane carrier"
The twin Navy airships will be by far the
largest airships the world has ever seen. Each
will be twice the size of the Graf Zeppelin and
two and one-han times the size of the Los
Angeles They will be shorter and fatter than
any large airship ever built. This will improve
the streamlining, cutting down wind resistance
and increasing speed, at the same time increas-
ing the strength. The gas cells will contain
6,500O00 cubic feet Of helium, which win lift
total weight of 100000 pounds. Each viii be
785 feet long and 1873 feet in diameter. The
height. with the flexible bumper bags resting
on the ground, viii be more than LAG feet, which
Is above the height limit for the largest build
ings in the National Capital. The eight engines
viii deliver q total horsepower Of AGO. giving
q maximum speed Of 83.8 miles per hour. The

the vicinity of surface vessels Mr. ingalls, said
The rigid airship may cruise for days at time
and for thousands of miles, providing through
radio communication information Of inestimable
value to the fleet.
Probably the greatest essential in naval war
fare IS a means of scouting" according to Mr..
ingalls, land the rigid airship affords this in
an Incompatible manner. Granted reasonably
good visibility, it can scout over 20 times the
surface Of the sea that can be covered by the
ordinary cruiser"
The other purpose of the airship will be to
afford "Supercarrier for airplanes" Each Of
the new airshipS will carry five six airplanes,
which may be launched taken aboard in
flight. These planes are to compose the striking
force Of the airship and may be used to bomb
and machine gun enemy planes, bases and ships
IN way" Mr.. ingalls, continued, the rigid
airShip corrects the most fundamental draw
back OF the airplane-that is its short cruising
range 1t affords a means Of bringing air.
planes within easy reach of their objective
rapidly and without fear of detection. In this
regard, then, the rigid airship Is comparable
to our surface airplane carriers. It is of course
limited to far fewer planes but on the other
hand affords far greater mobility"
The Nays new aerial giants will be sturdy
creations, able to combat any storm. They will
be stronger than the wartime airships, which
were so well built that not one Of the lis
German ships came to grief because of structural
failure. according to naval experts Another
great safety factor viii be the of nom
explosive helium in place of hydrogen as a
lifting gas.
THE helium viii be contained in many sepa-
rate cells, the largest of which will contain
100000 cubic feet. The new airshps VIII con-
tinue to fly even though one-third Of its cells
are Totally destroyed. The loss of gas, even
through hundreds of bullet holes, would be
immaterial for many hours, Mr.. ingalls, pointed
out Even though several Of the airShip's
engines were disabled, it still would be able to

We'll we wish you luck Jack but we think that you have hard battle on your hands.
 Joe DcLauritis with his gang of Cement Mixers from Chatfleld and ChatReld's dropped three games and Joe is beginning to call on his re- serves. Ben Chatficld has been miss ing the last few weeks but we hope to sec him around soon. Sherman had a wonderful alibi claiming that while he was walking under the Brooklyn bridge a cindcr flew in his eye and that spoiled his vision. Shorty NardOzzi is still up to his old tricks of throwing tbem in the gut tcrs. Joe Long and Baslful Cy Sar- dinski were all dressed up. They looked like a couple of movie pcr- formers.
 The game between Tracy's Brick Layers and Apothecaries Hall Chem- ists was a humdinger. Ernie Tracy had his full strength on deck, rein forced by one new man and boy his was some bowling. His name was Tootsie and if he can lay brick as
  wizard. Ernie Johnson was lured off his farm for the evening and he lived right up to his name of Cannon Ball Johnson. The three of his games were over hundred. Hobie Tracy still had smoke in his eyes from their recent fire. Fish Famiglietti is raising a mustach and 1t surely is peach. Captain Ernie Tracy was the main stay of his team as usual. Ernie is getting to be one of the best bowl CTS in the league. The two games that they won were well deserved.
 Doctor Farina was telling the boys what his team was going to do to Tracy's, but after the second game was over the Doctor was very quiet. Shorty Wogna and l.. RattinO are finally bowling in their regular stride and when they do 1t means trouble for their opponent. Johnny Curtis was on hand arriving back from Canada where he WAS on vaca- tion, telling the boys what wonder full time hc' had. Sam BOZycki, the Hall anchor man was the team star and how that boy does bowl Is nO- body's business.
