Akron, it is armed with range guns. The
Akron has sometimes been called the
"eye of the feet" 1t is possible Tor it,
utilizing the clouds, to make ObServa-
tions of the position and disposition of
men-o'-war But, somewhat like Z, hip
popotamus, it must keep out of sight
of heavier -than-air craft. There Is not
much danger from guns aboard vessels
but from birds O. war there is all the
danger in the world. For this reason
it was conceived to give these leviathans
group of wings" for protection. Scout
ing, therefore, under convoy of its own
manipulation is the prime duty of these
numbering monoliths of the sky.
But, in their case, as in the case of
everything else man experiments with
scientifically, enlarged possibilities have
come. A feet is discovered, during war,
in position that bodies ill to the coun-
try. Why not bomb it then and there
without reporting back to base by radio
its location for an air attack? The
dirigible lets loose its brood of waSpS"
and retires behind a cloud to watch the
around over the vessels the "wasps'
circle dropping bomb after bomb Unless
those vessels carry aboard fighting air
craft or there is attached to them an
aircraft carrier they are helpless before
this sudden onslaught.
When bombs have been expended the
'wasps" may return to the dirigible for
a new supply, or for gasoline or repairs.
When the battle is over they may still
fly home to the mother ship" fresh
and victorious from the fray.
What these war possibilities are was
demonstrated only few months ago
during war maneuvers in the Pacific.
Here the situation was reversed, victory
coming to the fleet. But in this case, as
will not be the case in actual warfare,

had this been actual warfare and the
Akron let loose her own imps!
In commercial aviation a feet of
heavier -than-air craft operating from a
dirigible can be of as great peace-time
service. They can leave dirigible end
ing q transoceanic flight, shortening the
time between destination points for
passengers by hours and obviating for
them those delays incident to mooring
and grounding Of the ship BY their use
it is possible to transfer supplies, In
cluding fuel, personnel, medical atten-
tion, mail, and other matter, between an
airship in flight and the ground or vessel
at sea.
The Navy's interest in the possibility
of using airplanes to contact airshipS
dates from 1919 when, at Rockaway, a
light plane was successfully launched
from an airShip. Later the Army Air
Corps took up the matter of contracting
the two air units in a serious way and,
from this humble beginning, one expert
ment led to another until we now find
an inseparable relationship between the
"waSps" and the "bumble bees"

Fur the seas were heavy and It was

Akron at night and their superb
handling by the crew reveals how mar
velously mankind has adapted himself TO
the air, says the veteran admiral of the
Navys air. service.
The old sailor who scoffed the use of
a bowline while working over a ships
side has his exact counterpart in the
air sailor who dances around the black
NAV of the air Bertha" when her
wasp brood" comes aboard. In the
recent maneuvers, he pointed out, one
of these sailors in warding off plane
from the sides Of the ship lost his bal
ance and, to save himself from pitching
headlong through the darkness TO death,
found it necessary to discard his boat
hook" Later he apologized profusely to
his superior for dropping his hook!
The hooking gear of the Akron en-
bodies improved features of the gear
developed on the Los Angeles. Further
notifications of this gear, brought out
in the recent tests, have reduced the
time intervals between landings from
many minutes to two or three.
This gear consists briefly of rigid
lattice work structure extending about
Is feet below the keel of the airship and
carrying on its lower end rigid cross
bar provided with shock abSorbers. This
feature permits the absorption of energy
involved wllen the plane strikes the bar
at a speed slightly above that of the
airShip, which it must do to engage its
hook
The engaging hook is fixed to the
upper wing of the plane. The tube car
rying the hook extends forward and
forms a partial guard which protects the
propeller against damage due to Strik-
ing the cross bar. The hook itself is
located at the after end of this tube and
is fitted with an automatic locking de-
vice so that upon engagement with the
bar unintentional release is avoided.
The pilot can trip this locking device
when he so desires.
In approaching for a hook-on the
climb, lining up the bar and the hook
during the approach. In smooth air this
is comparatively simple matter as the
plane is flown directly into the cross
bar. Upon engagement the throttle is
retarded. BY locking all controls in
neutral and idling the motor, the plane
rides smoothly from the single point of
attachment. In rough air both the ap-
proach and the engaged action of the
plane become considerably more cratic.
In releasing the plane from the bar,
the pilot trips the hook end and, by
keeping the motor at idling speed, falls
clear of the ship in dive.
These night hook-ons under adverse
Winter weather conditions represent
the efficiency to which plane and diri-
gible coordination has been brought. In
addition to the value of such co-ordina-
ton from military standpoint the har
monization has opportunities of wide
application in commercial aviation.
IRON a military standpoint, the sue
cessful night hook-onS, following
many months of successful day contacts
presage heavier -than-air squadron for
future warfare, operating from a diri-
gible base.
The dirigible is essentially, scout
ing adjunct to our military forces. It
is not designed as an aggressive COM
batant, though, as in the case of the

 Night
ON LIFE IN ALBERTA

Dan McCowan, field naturalist from >Banff, Alberta, Canada, will give an illustrated lecture at the forum at the Second Congregation al church on Sunday evening at 7:3O o'clock. His subject will be: "In the Land of the Assiniboine h. dian."

It will be fully il- lustrated by 150 lantern pictures in color-new pictures from MT Mo- Cowan's own photographs.
 MT McCowan's intimate descrip- tion of the manner in which many of his nature study pictures were obtained, his splendid portrayals of scenic beauty together with his fre- quent touches of humor, combine for an entertainment that is de- cided1y pleasing and highly instruc- tive.
 A quaint, yet delightful combin- ation, Dan McCowan of Banff. na- tive of Scotland and rich in it's "burr-y" manner of speech, de- scribing the Highlands of America. Yet he does it to perfection and to hear him, to see his beautiful pictures tinted in artistic manner by Mrs McCowan, and to meet him is to know that his is labor of love and that his heart is in his work.

Exactly the same number of marriages were recorded during the month of February as there were during the month of Janu- ary it is revealed in the monthly report submitted today from the office of the town clerk. There were IT each month. The report shows there were 94 deaths dur ing February as compared to 110 in January.
 In the births classification the report shows that 118 have been reported so far in February. as compared with 152 in January. Off, ficials in the town clerks office state that there will be more births to record in February because the doctors are allowed 15 days after the end of the month to report them.
 Of course, there were three days less in February than in January and the fact that the same num- Der of marriages were performed each months shows that an upward trend has started. Within the next few months the marriages should
