this summer at Akron, Ohio The
new ship is of $4,000 cubic feet
capacity, 140 feet long and 40 feet
in diameter 1t is filled with he'll
ium, same as the older ship, but
is 10000 cubic feet greater in gas
capacity
The new ship has a top speed
of almost 10 miles an hour and
cruises between As and so miles an
hour. The passenger cabin holds
four passengers and one pilot, as
before, but fuel capacity has been
increased SO that the ship can stay
aloft more than Is hours without
refueling, when desired.
Smith, veteran chief pilot Of the
Volunteer, is in command of the
ship and is accompanied by Walter
Massic, senior co-pilot. Smith has
spent more than 5000 hours in
the air and holds the American
record for safe flying of lighter
than-air craft for 1929, 1881 and
for the current year.
Accompanying the ship, on the
ground, is the portable mooring
mast and the other vehicles which
transport the landing crew. The
crew is the same that accompanied
the ship on its transcontineatal
trips last spring and is under the
charge of Charles Hill and Fred
Lueders, both of whom are trans

POLICE KNOW
THIS SADDLE

There is a stock saddle in I'm
perial county with which Judge I.
Mayfield, Ell Centro police Off
GERS and county peace officers are
rapidly becoming well acquainted.
The saddle started on its career
last summer, when Ray E. Hartzenn
left his ranch near El Centro un-
der the supervision Of a caretaker.
returning to find the earetaker and
much of the ranch equipment, in
Guiding the saddle, gone.
Hartzenn finally located the sad
ole, in the possession of E. B. En-
gle. who purchased it from the
caretaker. When Engle refused to
give up the saddle. Hartzenn ap-
piled for and received a search war
rant, which was served by Ell Cen
tro police.
Thus the saddle found its way
into the possession of J. Sterling
Oswalt, FL Centro police CHEF. But
Engle was not satisfied, and filed
suit before Judge Mayfield against
Oswalt, seeking possession of the
saddle.
Hartzenn appeared in court as a
witness, identifying the saddle as
his own, and Judge Mayfield de-
cided in favor of the police chief
so that he remained as custodian OF
the saddle.
Then came the latest develop
ment. H. C. Diller filed suit against
Hartzenn on a $24 bill, attaching
the saddle. The sheriff's depart
ment served the attachment on the
chief OF police taking control of tie
saddle
Matters are at a standstill, with
the saddle at the sheriff's office
until Judge Mayfield again is called
upon to hear evidence which will
decide its fate.

But the consensus has been that It

DR.. Waldo studied the Borgian Codex

he was asked to become assistant Ii

The Austrian's task here was to help
bring order out of the chaos of old
volumes in the National Library In
his work he was lucky enough to find
four dictionaries of Indian languages,
They had been carefully compiled by
Catholic missionaries trying to convert
the bronzed men of the jungle in the
days of the ConquistadoreS.
At first DR.. Waldo met with no sue

dictionaries to photostatic copy of the
codex. but noting the frequency of the
feathered snake, and its similarity to
the dragon, he tried Sanscrit, Chinese
and japanese. Results came quickly.
Transition of Word.

creator god of the Mayans, and origi-
nally was Kukulcan. "Kuku" is their
word for the quetzal bird, and "can"
means snake. The MiXtecs and Toltecs.

Mayan religion. literally translated
Kukulcan into QuetZalcoatl, or Ketzal-
coatl, and he became the primary god
of most Indians. The first part of the
word signifies heaven, through its bird
root. and earth through its snake root.
Likewise, in China, the serpent with
Evening star., 1932-04-11

wings, or dragon, is considered a union
between heaven and earth, but the
difference is that Quetzalcoatl is a god
of virtue, while the dragon is one OF
wrath.
Applying the key syllables found in
the missionaries dictionaries, DR.. Waldo
started deciphering the Borgian Codex
and was astonished to find recurring
syllables in 1t, too. For many months
he pored over the photoStat, and finally
evolved more than 100 SyllableS. "a OF

"I am certain" he said, that the

bases for decipherment Of the Mayan
hieroglyphics with which I think they
have close relationship. both most prob
ably having the same origin.
Then would come the proof of the
link between Mayan and Asiatic
tongues. Somewhere, some day, I am
convinced that a definite conclusion will
be proved between them.
And somewhere, I feel certain, some
ancient priestly historian wrote the
story of that connection. I hope may

But the brief seeks to offset the most
infiationary aspects of reproduction
costs, even in times of inflated labor
and material prices, by insistance on

valued at reproduction prices must be

on this point:
''The assumption that present condi-

Waldo, who is now 80 went to Rome,

"On reproduction there is a more
efficient utilization of supervisory Off

Grafton of a part of the plant already

could be taken of the economies result

be duplicated on reproduction.
Thus at many points the original

VICTORY
IN MAINE
Democrats Elect G0veror
And Two OF Three
Congressman.
VOTING is CLOSE
G.. o. p. Suffers Crush
ing Defeat In Supposed
Stronghold.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. - A
Democratic sweep IN Maine threw
increasing uncertainty today over
the outcome OF the 1892 presiden-
tial election.
Maine has uniformly elected Re-
publican governors IN every presi-
dental year since the Civil war.
With returns almost complete.
Democrats appeared TO have elected
a governor for the first time since
1914 and to have won two Of the
three congressional seats.
This exceeded their fondest hopes.
One Democratic congressman was
about all that the Democrats had
been expected to get.
Though entangled in many local
issues and personalities, the Maine
election nevertheless held national
significance. Both parties threw
first string speakers into the state
in large numbers.
Almost complete returns showed
the following apparently elected:
For Governor-Louis j. Brann,
Democrat, wet, former mayor Of
Lewiston.
For Congress-First district, Rep.
Carroll l.. Beedy, Republican, dry.
For Congress = Second district.
Edward c. Moran, Jr. Democrat,
wet. His oponent was Representa-
tive Nelson, a veteran Of five terms
in the house.
For Congress-Third district, John
@. Utterback, Democrat, wet. His
opponent was former Governor
Brewster.
Prohibition was left in a confused
state by the result because Beedy.
the only Republican apparently to
survive is an outstanding dry.
Points to Victory
Democrats were convinced that II
the Maine barometer means any
thing at all it points to victory
for them In November.
Even in 1915, when the Demo-
Gratis reelected Wilson, the Re-
publicans carried Maine in both
the state and presidential elec-
tions. Republicans in 1880 held a
majority Of $4,000 for governor in
spite Of growing Democratic ma
jorities in numerous other states.
This development almost entirely
overshadowed other political events
of the week.
Former Gov. Alfred e. Smith ap-
peared as author Of a magazine
article asking President Hoover and
Governor Roosevelt to state their
positions regarding the soldiers
cash bonus.
Record breaking registration fore
cast large votes in eight state pri-
maries being held in Michigan, Ari-
zona, Colorado, Vermont. New
Hampshire, Washington and Louis
lana.
High Democratic hopes in many
states have enticed numerous can
didates to seek nomination on
tickets which sometimes have gone
begging in less favorable years. Re-
publican candidates also appear 70
be unusually numerous.
