U. S. Navy Requires Giant
Dirigible Sea Scouts
By James T. Williams, J.-

For high-speed work at short
range and for combat and spot
ting work, the airplane has the
field to itself.
Both airships and airplanes
are necessary cOmpOnents of a
well-balanced fleet, as a part Of
the nations defense"
This doctrine for the airship,
as anunciated by the gallant
admiral, who was one of the
heroes lost when the Akron was
destroyed, is now to be applied
by the Macon in operations with
the fleet.
Admiral Moffett estimated
that an airship of the Macon
type, operating with three scout
cruisers, could double their ef-
fectiveness as scouts for the rea-
son that the Macon can survey
three times the sea area per
day that one scout can survey.
The Pacific, with its great
distances and with American
island outpoSts, offers the best
area for the naval use of scout
ing airships, of which the Ma
con is the largest afloat.

Untamed Male

From time to time we hear
that this is a woman's world.
The magazine and newspaper
editors are constantly saying
that industry and commerce are
carried on largely for the lovely
creatures. That may be so, but
I car point the finger of ad-
miration to one untamed and
dauntless male who has never
yet run up the white flag of
surrender.
He is the famous barber Of
Concord, N. H. Retiring from
his tonsorial art at the age Of
79, he proudly boasts that never
has he cut woman's hair.
Women have begged him to
shear their tresses and clip
their coiffures, but to all he
has returned the stern reply:
What was good enough for
God Almighty ought to be good
enough for you. God put a
crowning glory upon your head.
No bobs or shingles ever will

The Human Side of the News
BIZ EdUin G. Hill

There was a good deal Of
criticism Of Mrs. Roosevelt
when she first went to Wash.
ington. Some said they thought
she talked too much. Others
doubted that she really liked
the knitting that always seemed
to be keeping her fingers busy.
Others complained that she
dashed about too much; that
a Presidents wife ought to
stay put.
But now Washington takes it
all back very graciously and
confesSes that Mrs. Roosevelt
is one of the most sincere,
downright, Intellectually honest
women who ever ruled the
White House. She is immensely
popular with the newspaper
correspondents, with whom she
is extraordinarily frank.
But the greatest impression
she has yet made had to do
with her visit to the soft coal
fields of West Virginia. Alone
and incognito, refusing to be
guided by mine officials, Mrs.
Roosevelt went into the homes
of the miners and talked to
their women and children.
She saw with her own eyes
the wretchedness of their exist
ence and their bitter struggle
to remain good Americans while
a benevolent government was
letting them starve to death.
Then she went back to Wash
ington and told the President
about it. And the story is that
his anger flashed like light
ming. And it wasn't long be-
fore he ordered the coal opera
tors to sign the NRA code or
take the consequences.

Fame and Fortune

While in bed with diphtheria,
she turned out a piece OF verse
which brought her a check for
$22 from a publisher. From
that encouragement she went
on to fame and fortune.
Modern ladies of various ages
are causing immense concern to
the philosophers and novelists.
There is F. Scott Fitzgerald, for
example, who shakes his head
very obviously over the future
of the young flapper of today.
or should one say, young doll?"
Young Mr.. Fitzgerald left
Princeton to shoulder a gun in
the World War and to become
one of the most popular novel
lists of the postwar decade. It
was this young man from Min
nesota who held the mirror up
to the flapper as that other in
teresting Gopher, Sinclair Lewis,
held it up to Babbit and Main
Street.
He shakes his head, this 81
year old patriarch Scott Fitz-
gerald, and tells us that the
kids with ex-flappers for moth
ers are up against it now and
hereafter. Seems to me that
Brother Fitzgerald exaggerates
a bit. The Flapepr Age only
began about nineteen-twenty.
That would make the average
age of the flapepr's daughter
around IL or 13.
These little girls will be
brought up in an age which will
have rid itself Of the hip flask,
and the whole Sneaking, furtive
atmosphere of a corrupt and
hypocritical social era.
Washington has reached the
conclusion after six months
and three weeks that the Presi-
dents lady is real, and that
her unusual and often surpris-
ing traits are as sincere and
natural as any other expression
of personality she may be
given to.
The Washington times., 1933-10-16
Macon s Mission

In writing of the mission
which the Akron and the Ma
con were designed to perform,
their chief proponent, Rear
Admiral Moffett, said while he
was Chief Of the Bureau Of
Aeronautics:
"The airship is essentially a
scout. 1t is not designed as a
combat craft and its area of
greatest usefulness is not so
or so miles off the Coast, but
1000 mile or more at sea.
"It can travel at a speed Of
more than double that of the
fastest surface ship; it can
sustain itself in the air for
several days or more, if the
necessity arises, and it can
carry moderate quantities of
supplies, stores Of ammunition,
and most important, a reliable
radio outfit for communication.
"FOr services over land and
other stretches of water of
moderate extent, and for mill
tary and naval operations not
requiring voyages of great
length, the airplane is daily
proving itself ideally suited and
reliable.
"When oceans must be span
ned with regularity, or when
aircraft must be turned to naval
employment requiring the con-
slant surveillance over long pc
iOds of suspected areas, remote
from friendly bases, the airplane
is no longer capable of doing
the work alone.
"Under these conditions, it
finds its necessary complement
in the rigid airship. The large
aifship is essentially a long.
distance weight-carrying ma
chine, having a longer range
than the airpIane, ability to
keep the air for long periods,
superior habitability, and is
better adapted to night flying.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

STOP MAKING EXCUSES,
AND FORCE YOURSELF TO
FACE THE REAL REASON
FOR ALL THESE MESSES.
But what is the real reason?
The real reason is YOUR
SELF.
The real reason is SOME
THING IN YOUR OWN
NATURE.
Many other things may come
into the picture. Other people
may come in. Sickness may
come in. Disorder may come
in.
BUT BEHIND THE OTHER
PEOPLE, BEHIND THE SICK
NESS AND DISORDER, LIES
SOME WEAKNESS IN YOUR
OWN NATURE THAT is
TRICKING AND TRAPPING
YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Some weakness ss-laziness,
cowardice, conceit, greediness,
Stiffness; which is it? don't
know. Nobody can know except
yourself. And you'll never
know until you stop running
away and turn and face your
self.
Even then you must be ruth
lessly brave, if you wish to help
yourself. You mustn't allow
yourself to make even one small
est excuse for yourself, to lay
even a particle of the blame on
the other fellow. Making ex-
cuses, passing the blame, these
things will give you temporary
comfort. Buff you do it,
you're lost. Life will go on being
zone flop after another" You
will go on whining, whimpering,
crawling.
Long ago a Wise Man sat talk
to his friends. Plain on their
faces he read the record of their
discouragement and discomfort.
Once more they asked him for
the secret of success. Smiling a
little sadly, for He knew they
would never follow it. He said:
KNOW THE TRUTH, AND
THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE
YOU FREE"
Know the truth about your
self. Then the weakness in
yourself, which is responsible
for all your misery, will no
longer spoil your life.
You can be free. You can be
strong. You can be happy. You
need only to face yourself.
BUT HAVE YOU WHAT 1T

And why should a woman who
has made a. success of her own,
in the arts or in business,
WANT to use her husbands

Oh, yes. I know there's
thrill, just at first, in being
called MRS. John Doe sort
of "I-belong-to-him" feeling
a delicious possessiveness. But
you get over that. And then
you find yourself trying to
juggle two names, and wonder
ing how to sign a hotel register,
or which name to have your

introduced at the last party.
It's terribly confusing.

Stop a minute. Wipe your tears,
pull up your jaW-and use the
good old bean.
There was that mistake you
made this morning. Not much
of a mistake; you've almost
forgotten it. Don't forget it.
Sit down and think about it.
That mistake was important.
1t holds the secret of all your
misfortunes. You don't believe
that? Listen
You made that mistake. Just
a silly little mistake. But what
did you do about it? You did
what you have always done
whenever you made mistake,
big or little-YOU LOOKED
AROUND FOR AN EXCUSE.
Quick as a flash, without a
moments hesitation, you looked
around for an excuse.
And that, of course. was
natural. 1t was the old animal
instinct of self-preservation as
Serting itself. Mistakes mean
trouble. Trouble means danger,
discomfort, humiliation, possibly
punishment. An animals first
impulse is to hide from danger.
You, too, are an animal. Your
first impulse, also, is to duck.
So you ducked. AS soon as
you made that mistake, you
grabbed the nearest excuse and
ducked. That was easy. One
can always find a thousand
handy alibis. Blame someone
else. Say you were sick. Say
you didn't know.
You made an excuse. Prob
ably it was a good excuse. It
satisfied others. 1t prevented
trouble-shushed the nagging.
And you felt fine! You stop
ped feeling Shaky inside, prickly
outside. Your courage was re-
turned: your wounded vanity
was Soothed. Everything was
jake again. Or was it?
No, it wasn't. For you really
haven't wiped out that mistake
at all-and you know you
haven't. You'll go on making
mistakes Just like that, again
and again. Life will continue
to be "one darned mess after
another" until
UNTIL YOU STOP DUCKING
