WASHINGTON, D. c. March L. There's still plenty oI life left in the airship Los Angeles, whose keel was laid nearly 10 years ago.
 That's why the Navy believes fl it sold her in order to increase the size of the ZRS-5, now under con struction, she would prove a bar gain to the buyer.
 Still far from the scrap heap, but not as valuable in the eyes of naval airship men as an enlarged sister ship for the U. s. s. Akron the Los Angeles may be a pawn, and by becoming a civilian, do 9 military turn.
 Her sale is one of two possibili- ties of raising between $300,000 and $500, 900 estimated to be necessary to boost the ZRS-5 to twice the size of the Graf Zeppelin in gas capacity. The alternative is a Con gressional appropriation, which has not been asked.
 AS it is now, the zRS-5, which is scheduled to be completed in January, 1883, will be duplicate in size of the Akron.
 Enlargement Advocated
 Enlargement, by adding bay nearly "A feet long at the crafts maximum diameter, is advocated by Rear Admiral w. A. Moffett, Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, to give the country a more modern airship.
 sThe design of the Akron and zRS-5 actually date from 1926,' he says. At that time building air ships so large as 6,500,000 cubic feet capacity was regarded as bold step.
 But airship design has pro- gressed in six years, and it is im- perative, if the U. s. Navy is to keep abreast of this progress, that the new ship be given an increase in size.'
 The big advance that looks good to the Navy by the change would be an increase in the cruising range at 50 knots by 9 per cent to 11,500 nautical miles-a distance of near ly halfway around the earth.

EROSION, THE GREAT DESTROYER.

Erosion has modified the surface of the earth than the combined activities of volcanoism, earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes and all the vations mankind has made since the beginning of history It is the real destroyer the United States Department of Agriculture points out. The fact that it proceeds slowly, usually taking thin layer off the surface of the earth at time, does not in the least alter the mpovershing effects of ero- sion. It's natural effect has been greatly speeded up by man, and it is never idle

NUGGET BRIDGE PROBL EM NO. il REPEATED WITH
 SOLUTION

East Holds
 Spades-A, K, @. 10, 5, 4.
 Hearts-A, K, Q, J, 10, ?, 6, 3.
 Diamonds-None.
 Clubs-None.
 The Bidding
 South-One Diamond.
 West--Pass.
 North-Six Diamonds.
 East-Question?
 What should East bid and why? Solution: East should bid seven diamonds.
 This problem which we ran few days ago, brought no winning solu- tion, and shows that although there are lot of Culbertson Blue Books in town, they are accumulating dust cn the shelf. On page PA under the heading "Overcalling with suit bid by opponents" this highly inn formative bid is clearly explained. It is a straight demand on West to bid seven in his strongest suit and Clubs are barred by their value. Even if the bids were lower the principle would still hold good, as East could force West to name a major suit by denial of Clubs.
 The problem illustrates one Of the phases of the Forcing System and, while it gives an uneasy feel ing to old timers who tho ght that any changes in Bridge would only mess it up, the average player will find after a few trials that the new bidding and forcing rules have add ed fine fresh spice to a game that was getting rather humdrum. But don't throw all the burden of teaching you on your friends.
 One or two dollars for the proper books will raise most of the fog and then little playing will clear the rest.

SHANNON ESTATE
BATTLE RENEWED
IN LOCAL COURT

Prospects of a renewed battle
over the estate OF James B. Shan
non. drowned in an outbal sewer
tragedy last summer, were ap-
parent today when Judge Vaughn
N. Thompson continued until
February a hearing on the petit
tion of Mrs. Florence Monsees to
revoke letters of guardianship over
Shannons children. granted Mrs.
Alta B. Shannon.
Dorsey Whiteiaw, attorney for
Mrs. Shannon, had been directed
to file an amended petition ON be-
half of Mrs. Shannon for letters
of administration in the estate.
This action was taken after Judge
Thompson held the first petition
was irregular in technical details,
and could not be upheld in a con-
tested action.
Although Mrs. Shannon, second
wife of Shannon, and Mrs. Mon
sees, the first wife and mother of
the children over whom the guard
ionship fight RACES, are parties to
both sections of the contest, the
guardianship and estate battles are
separate matters.
Mrs. Monsees is attempting to
obtain an order revoking letters
of guardianship granted Mrs. Shan
non. The former contends She
should have care Of the children,
since she is their mother. Mrs.
Shannon, however, bases her claim
to guardianship on the contention
she has cared for the children for
a number of years.
In the matter Of the estate, Mrs.
Monsees seeks letters Of admins
tration and opposes 4 like claim by
Mrs. Shannon with the contention
the latter never was legally mar
ried TO Shannon.
When the matter was threShed
cut in court once before, Mrs.
Shannon was granted both letters
of administration over the estate
and guardianship Of the children,
Mrs. Monsees' petition 10 revoke
letters of guardianship, and the
ruling that the original petition for
letters of administration was ir-
regular, opened the entire contro-
yersY again.
