Decommissioning a Dirigible.
(NeW York Times ]

 The airship Los Angeles went out of commission yesterday after almost eight years of cruising in the United States with side voyages to the Carib- bean and one test of her scouting powers in war game at Panama She has the record for the longest useful life among drigibles When Mrs, Calvin Coolidge christened the XR-3 as the Los Angeles in November, 1924 she exclaimed: Go forth under the open sky and may the winds Of Heaven deal gently with thee'
 AS the years went on, the graceful lines of the airship and her gstening hull became familiar Ito our people An early assignment was to take lup scientists observe January "A, 1925 solar leclipse On the day after Christmas, 1927 she ar- swered emergency call to go to sea to search for the arplane Dawn, her officers scanning the sea as far as Sable Island without finding trace of the lost ship.
 As training ship she was of vital importance Ito the navy She rode out many hard blows and was sometimes in tcklsh positions as when she actually stood her while moored to her mast at Lakehurst It is the experience gained in long experimenting that qualified officers and men to take over the Akron. Some of them will be detailed to the Macon, which will soon be ready for commission.
 l The Los Angeles intended to point the way to the commercial of ships of her type. It has been decided as result of her fine record, to build commercial dirigibles to carry the Atlantic mails Regular voyages will be made before many years pass

 "It's just because I have a won- derful control over my temper, 2 observed Jerry witheringly. that don't beat you up. I'd do it night now if we had any privacy"
 He rose and strode toward the house, very much on his dignity. The majestic hateur of his retreat was not made easier by the sound of Emory's rancous laughter which followed him all the way to the porch steps.
 An almost unbearable aura of uneasiness pervaded everything in- side the house, blended with the heat waves that rose in simmer ing layers from the parched sand outside, made an atmosphere sur charged with electrfcityg Jerry felt that if a door were to be slammed, each man within that huge, dark living room would leap for his neighbor's throat
 Nancy was the only one who, after dinner that evening, braved the torrid heat of her own room. The others in the living room had settled down to wait, as patiently as might be, through endless hours until bedtime.
 Jerry, Emory and Stevens sat close together, the flyers attempt ing to read, the old man mildly watching the others with eyes that scarcely seemed to see what they were looking at. Hamilton was placidly shuffling his cards and placing them in neat rows and columns upon the green baize- ta- ble top. Mallory, highball on the arm of his chair, was alternately drinking and dozing. Lucci, sit ting bolt upright in straight chair, was finding the inactivity almost unsupportable. He strode to the door with irritating regu- uarity, peering out to see if the

hoped-for evening breeze had ris- en-. Then he returned to the chair to sit, chafing and swearing, wait ing for something to happen Mar l tin, unobtrusive as usual, was half hidden in dark corner. He shuf- fled his feet necessarily, uncon- seiously. Jerry found the noise ir- ritating. Even Ashwood, stretched out in a chaise lounge of Philip pine wicker, seemed moody and ] idisprited.
 Good God!" snarled Mallory harshly. Why doesn't somebody lsay sometmng?"
 Lucci snapped out of his chair and faced him, his dark eyes beady with hate, his mouth a crimson crack in fis swarthy face. Then he began to advance upon the stockbroker, treading lightly, swift ly. Mallory pushed himself out of his arm chair, grinning horrib- ly. Hamilton swiftly moved his table away from the area of the 1 impending clash.
 ''Lucci!" Stevens voice snapped like a bullet. Lucci paused uncer- tainly. Sit down, both of you!'
 The tension was suddenly brok- en. The gangster, surly, returned | to his chair Mallory seated him. self and drank greedily.
 Ashwood had not moved mus clue. He sat there, watching, ar amused gleam in his deep-set eyes faint smile on his lips.

 of course,'' he continued, slow ly, you understand that the mar riage would be in name only. If we ever get back to civilization we could all work together and have it quietly annulled Steve and Emory would be witnesses to prove that it had been done as the lesser of two evils"
 A thousand devils were grinning from Emory's dancing eyes as he glanced from the sober faced, flushed Nancy to the embarrassed Jerry.
 Fine scheme, if you ask me, !" Stevens said hastily. You prob ably won't have to worry about a divorce, pr an annulment, either, because if you aren't a widow by the time we leave here, it won't be Jerrys fault. He's more anx- ious to go and get himself Killed than any fellow ever saw-un- less it's his addle-headed running mate, here"
 Jerry's ears burned as he saw the girl survey him thoughtfully. He had never been much of a la diac, man R1Jt he did feel fool ish, somehow Talking about even

lhim he has been doing for the Commission for
 several years He succeeds to executive duties with (which his association with officials of the Com
 mission has given him clear understanding. He has a great responsibility and big job It IS no
 light task to carry on such activities with the eff lcency that has earned the Alaska Road Commits sion in past years the reputation of being an out Istanding example among Government agencies in the North He cannot perform that task alone. To do so he must have the sort of free hand that the War Department gave his predecessors lin office, freedom from Washington interference that made it possible to meet any pressing need that arose and that many occasions was worth Iincalculable sums to the Territory.
 We hope that MT. Taylor has the same kind and degree of cooperation from the Interior De- partment's Washington officers. We know he will have it from his immediate superior, Gov. George IA Parks All Alaska wishes him success, not only because he is wellknown and well-liked, but also because success in carrying the program means las much to Alaskans it does personally to MT.

A Giant Merger.
Seattle Times )

new corporation designed to do business on at least national and perhaps worldwide scale, Is announced in New York It is the United States Bridge Association, and it's formation is of marked significance in view of the fact that number of corporations large and small, lately have been heard to complain of decline in business The new bridge corporation evidently nothing wrong in the present or awry in the prospect; it senses no Islackenng in the public demand for it's offerings. It may well be noted first as last that the United States Bridge Association is not likely to do much to stimulate the structural steel industry Tor to open up outlets for Portland cement. Tt will not be connected with the kind of bridges that they put water under, George Washington Memorial otherwise, suspension, bascule, canti- lever or whatnot. Yet great many thousands of American people undoubtedly will be more inter- lested in what this bridge corporation will say and do than they would be if it were merely to provide means of getting from here to there over stream gully.
 When all these Americans have learned that the
 new bridge corporation is giant merger of inter-
 ests represented the one side by Ely Culbertson
 and the other by F. Dudley Courtenay, they | will grasp much of it's significance and when they are told that it's President will be Milton C.
 Work, the fullness of great purpose will dawn
 upon them-they will appreciate the magnitude of
 this deal. If all goes as well as expected there
 will soon be but one system of bidding.

The Dry's Predicament.

For the first time in a good many years the ardent Dry finds that he has party or slate of candidates for whom he vote Although the Democrats candid in their demand for repeal the G. O. P. is likewise wet Leading ean- didates of both parties wet in many States heretofore considered dry. The old Prohibition Party is disbanded, and there is evidence of Iany serious effort to muster Drys into minor lparty movement this year
 Borah, the acknowledged leader of the dry forces has been seduced by the liberalism of Roosevelt and refuses to champion movement for the de- fense of Prohibition Economic questions loom larger in his mind, and so Prohibition is discarded as hopeless standard.

T doubt, however, that it amused any of us last night. With out wishing to seem critical, I might remind you gentlemen that one of you has committed two rather -blooded murders"
 Stevens watched Jerry, who, with a faraway expression on his tanned face, was listening to something which was apparently inaudible to the others. Emory heard it, too.

 A small hand suddenly rested upon his knee He looked up to see Nancy smiling at him through tear washed eyes.
 You are a dear boy, Jerry, and I trust you" she said simply "Ill leave all the details to you three"
 She rose and walked rapidly to- ward the house. Emory broke into a chuckle. Jerry glared at him.
 What are you laughing at, you sap? I've got a good mind to punch you in the nose"

PENSIONS BILL
IS SHELVED

Indefinito delay for the Capper
bill to establish old age pensions
in the District today seemed
likely, following a strong recon-
mendation by the District Com
missioners against its enactment
at this time.
The Commissioners agree that
the old age security bill is q
"meritorious and appealing" pro-
poSal, but they cite that local
finances now do not justify its
passage by Congress.
The Commissioners report that
the Capitals finances are "pre-
carious and uncertain" that
revenues are falling short and alb
solutely LecesSary expenditur IS
increasing and must be met from
current revenues; that there is no
surplus and that the size of the

Roosevelt Losing Ground
The New York governor. who
had clear sailing two weeks ago,
still retains an advantage over
other contenderS. Since then his
presidential balloon has been los
ing altitude. He will not only
have to fight for any accessionS
to his present string (approxi-
mately 40O but will probably en-
counter some stormy weather in
holding on to what he has to his
credit.
Roosevelt, whose pacifist ten
denotes are recognized, seems to
have made up his mind to put
on his fighting clothes and give
battle to the opposing groups of
leaders who do not favor his
nomination.
If he really wants a scrap, he
will not experience any difficulty
in finding one. The supporters
OF Smith, Garner, Baker, Ritchie,
Byrd, Young, Reed, Lewis and
Wright will cheerfully provide
him with an opportunity to show
his political skill.
