British Are Compelled
To Buy Food in U. S.

London.-1n the efforts now being
made in Great Britain through tariffs
and buy British" propaganda to foster
national habit of using home and
imperial instead of foreign products,
the hundred percenters who are urging
an all-BritiSh existence from the cradle
to the grave have got real kick out of
the announcement that the 10000 daf-
fodils which will shortly be blooming in
Victoria Tower Gardens adjacent to the
House Of Lords will be British grown.
This carries a step further the cam
paign to bring home to the country's
legislators the all-British ideal which
has already almost ousted foreign wines
and beers from the precincts Of Par
Lament.
Last Summer thousands Of the gay
blooms in Hyde Park were British and
not Dutch, and tariffs on imported cut
flowers have resulted in the decorations
at weddings and banquets being home
produced
1t has been found that the importa-
tions Of marble for tombstones has in
creased unemployment among local
stonemakers. while there is plenty Of
stone available in this country for the
purpose, and that most patriotic Britons
have announced a preference to rest
under the shadow Of local slab rather
than an imported one. The critical at
titude many church authorities have
adopted toward the marble tombstone
Is, incidentally, helping the anti-marble
agitation. But the clerical opposition
arises from the feeling that marble does
not attune to the dark, rich colorings
OF the churches. Selborne Church Coun-
Gil is one of the most recent to offer
opposition to the erection of marble
tombstones.
When it comes to a question of food
stuffs the hundred percenters are un-
able yet to obtain much solace, as the
nation still imports 62 per cent of the
necessaries Of life, or more than 81 ESQ.,
000,0 900, from countries outside the en-
pire. The bacon imports from non-em-
ptre sources amount to 81 per cent Of
the total; hams, So: poultry, 80; eggs
in shell, 76.5; butter, so; apples, 58.5;
oranges, 70; pears, 80; potatoes, go;
onions, 100, and tomatoes, "a. While
20 per cent Of the frozen mutton and
lamb are obtained from empire coun-
tries, 100 per cent of chilled beef comes
from non-empire countries.
The United States, Argentina, Den
mark and Holland are the chief sources
OF Britain's food imports outside the
empire.

fleets of rigids spanning the sea In
steady travel had formed In his mind.
This dream and many others which
he felt would not materialize in his
own lifetime he passed on to DR.. Arm
STEIN
Under DR.. Arnstein's direction dur
ing the war 68 airships were built,
which flew millions of miles.
Count Zeppelin died in 1917, but the
company carried on, even after the war.
The Bodensee and the Nordstern were
completed, confiscated by the allies and
assigned to Italy and France.
Then the Interallied Commission
ordered operations to cease. For q
time it seemed that the great organ
ization which the genius Of Count
Zeppelin and his young associates had
created was doomed to pass out Of ex-
istence. Here, however, the United
States stepped in and brought new
hope. The building of the Los Angeles
was ordered and arrangements were
made by which the Goodyear Co.
bought the use Of the Zeppelin rights
and patents. In 1924 DR.. Karl Arm
stein and IL Of his technical experts
came to join the forces of the new
Akron, DR.. Arnstein being made vice
president and chief engineer of the
company.
Count Zeppelin's own dreams of great
airship fleets had been born in the
United States when, as q young ad-
venturer in his early 20s, he had gone
abroad to serve in the Union Army
during the Civil War, and saw, for the
1rst time in his life, free and captive
balloons IN use. Now Karl Arnstein
was bringing that dream back to the
United States for fulfllment.
Designs Won First Place.
Always an indefatigapie worker, Arm
stein was scarcely settled when he be-
gan work on designs to be entered in
Navy competition for two airshipS.
These NE hoped would prove his proud
est achievement. In June, 1926, the
construction Of two great airships for
the Navy, each to have q capacity Of
$500, 900 cubic feet, was authorized by
the Government. Out of 81 designs,
DR.. Arnstein's had won first place
These ships were the Akron and the
Macon. BY strange trick of fate. it
was Rear Admiral Moffett, who later
was destined to go to his death in the
tragic destruction Of the Akron. who
fought for the purchase Of the two air
ships and who formally started assembly
of the Akron by driving golden rivet
into the master ring.
Friends of DR.. Arnstein say that dur
ing the last few years of arduous work
he hasn't had so much time for walking
with his children in the woods, one Of
his favorite forms of recreation. He
has never had time for golf, or the
formal sports. He has had time, how
ever, to become an American citizen and
was naturalized in 1880.
From the first he has adapted himself
to his new country and its customs
with delightful ease. When he returned
from o visit to Germany last year he

In Canada in 1881

OTTAWA, Ontario-Out Of a popu-
lation of more than 10000, 900, there
were 8,441 divorced persons in Canada
at the census of 1881, Of whom 4,049
were men and 1892 were women.
The divorced husbands formed .08
per cent of the male population and
the divorced wives OF per cent Of the
female population.
Divorced husbands in 1921 formed
08 per cent Of the male population,
of the female population so that pro
rata to population there were fewer
divorced wives in 1881.

Teaching of Gaelic
Criticized in Belfast

BELFAST.-Although Gaelic is the
cfhcial language of the Irish Free State,
where more than $5,000,0C0 has been
voted by the Dali in the last 10 years
to induce its common use, it figures as
an extra" in the few schools in North
ern Ireland where it is taught. Ac-
cording to the ministry of education
here. the grants to schools where Irish
is taught amounted to approximately
$65, 900 In the last decade
Even the expenditure of this mod
est sum over such long period is
resented by some members of the
Northern Ireland Parliament, for 1t is
contended that the Irish language is

Loss of Akron at Sea Was Severe Blow
To Designer of Huge Dirigible for Navy

DR.. Arnstein has written many valu-
able papers on the airship and its de-
sign. He has always expressed the be-
lief that for long over-water voyages
it would be the airship, not the airplane.
that would be chiefly used in future
travel, where saving Of time Is con-
sideration. Greater comfort, quiet and
safety would be factors arguing for the
rigid dirigible, he has contended. And
yet the Akron was destroyed in storm
at sea.
Passed All Tests.
Once as an expression Of his belief In
the Akron, he said, THE Akron was
taken over by the Navy only after
prolonged series Of trial flights which put
the airship to severe tests, and all were
successful. Since she has been in ser
vice she has executed a number OF
further tests, all to the satisfaction OF
experts. In materials, construction and
fabrication. the greatest possible care
was exercised and the ship was built
with the attention given the making
of a watch"
II rather hate to see my baby fiy
away in the care Of you hard-bo1leo
Navy boys" he laughed when the Akron
was finally claimed by the Navy ana
flown from her home hangar. But.
he added, II suppose, like all fathers.
I should be glad to have 1t get out and
see the world" =.
There was more than the crushing OF
this joyous pride In the stricken attl-
tude of the man who came to hts office
on the day of the destruction of the
Akron. The officers who had gone down
in the sea were his friends, his con-
sultants, his comrades in work. Their
loss was almost unbelievable. There was
the baffled sense of not knowing wherein
his ship had failed-the fear that they
might never know wherein 1t had failed
There was the uncertainty of resulting
action regarding the Macon, to which
he had given years of pondering and
labor, in which he had all faith.
Dream Lies Ahead.
And deep down-not for present con-
siderins perhaps was the dream
Of the flying merchant marine, the dead
Count Zeppelin's dream, the dream Of
his associates, DR.. Arnsteins dream.
Beyond the success Of the two Navy
giants had loomed the phantoms Of
similar giants for commercial use. Al
ready two companies were in existence,
one for fostering international transport
service across the Atlantic, the other
for fostering similar service across the
Pacific to Hawaii and the East. And
then came the Akron tragedy.
Shock and horror may cause the Gov
ernment to discontinue for the present
the development Of the giant dtrigible.
Other governments have so acted. But

THE neurotic, appealing, artistic pioneers, the
! pre-Raphaelites, whose poor splendid Wings
were 80 frayed and soiled and torn" are the
living figures in this biographical narrative,
which is based on authoritative sources, but
reads like novel. Frances Wnwar is Sicilian
by birth, and her name is an Anglicization of
the Italian Francesca Vinciguerra. She has
won the $4,000 Atlantic Monthly prize for 1888
with this book. The illustrations are from
paintings and sketches by the Rossettis, Millais,
Watts, Ruskin, Ford MADDOX Brown, Holman
Hunt and other pre-Raphaelites. Despising the
High Renaissance as too sophisticated and be-
lieving that only before Raphael was there any
sincerity in painting, the Pre-Raphaelite
Brotherhood led by Rossetti, stormed "the bull
warks Of the Philistines." The movement is q
significant one in English art, but the person.
alities of the participants have from the begin
ming been as interesting as their theories.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti was wavering soul,
now rapt in his dreams of female beauty, which
he expressed in his paintings and his poems,
then lapsing into laziness, drink and drugs.
