 often color-blind, often deaf, often
 absent-minded and subject to H.
 lusions. These people l refer to
 arc ghost-writcrs for innocent, po- litical aspirants. who unfortunate ly do not seriously analyze the
 material utilized in these articles
 before they are published.
 The people of the city of Wa
 terbury appreciate tho work that
 has been accomplished by Thomas
 Fleming, able and unassuming
 superintendent of public works,
 which department supervises the
 building and repairing of streets and sewers and the distribution of
 water. personally have q great
 amount of admiration for the con- dition of East Main street, since the removal of the car tracks and

HUGE ZEPPELIN
TO VISIT j. 5.
IN SPRING

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany,
Dec. "a ON.SO The biggest di-
rigible in the world has been COM
pleted in the construction hangar
Of the Zeppelin Airship Building
Corporation here and will take
the air on it's maiden and trial
flights early in January, officials
said today.
The LZ-129, as the ship is pro-
visionally known until permanent
ly christened-probably the Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg"-will
fly the South Atlantic first and
the North Atlantic afterwards.
DR.. Hugo Eckener hopes to take
the ship across the ocean shortly
after it's first trial flights. BY
spring he hopes to accomplish the
first trip to the United States, and
thereafter start a regular pasSen-
ger and mail service with the new
yep and the Graf Zeppelin be-
tween Germany and South Amer
lea.
Designed by DR.. Ludwig Duerr.
the LZ-129 represents the last
word in lighter-than-air aviation.
The ship has perfect stream
lining and, DR.. Duerr explained,
is the first dirigible in the
world built exactly for passenger
requirements.
The air giant is $40 feet long
with a maximum diameter of 100
feet and accommodates so pasSen-
gers and a crew of 40. Its four
Diesel engines of 1850 horse
power each give it a top speed
of 80 to 100 miles per hour
with a cruising speed of IS
miles per hour.
It is almost twice the size OF
the Graf Zeppelin. now seven
years old and boasting proud
record of covering distances equal
to encircling the globe 43 times.
Passengers are accommodated
in Is cabins with two beds each,
luxuriously furnished and provid-
ing electric light and heating as
well as running hot and cold
water. With the spacious smok-
ing and bar rooms they give the
impression of a fashionable small
hotel rather than an airship.
The furniture represents com.
promise between GghtnesS and
comfort. Wood has been discarded
as far as possible and replaced by
aluminium alloys. Only walls and
floors of the passenger quarters
are made of wood. Paintings on
silk decorating the walls depict
scenes in the development Of
aviation.
The sixteen gas bags inside the
metal structure have beer filled
with hydrogen and are carefully
inspected daily for leaks. When
the ship reaches the United States
Naval hangar at Lakehurst on the
first visit to the United States,
the hydrogen will be replaced by
helium. Thereafter the ship will
be almost non-inflammable and
non-explosive. Crude oil is used
for motor fuel.

think your advice is very good
indeed. 1t is true that so many
girls Judge boys in terms of the
money they have to spend that
the boy who has little feels en-
barrassed and inferior His esti-
mate of himself is so low that he
requires plenty of spending money
to build it up.
1t never occurs to him that the
girl will value him for himself
alone and be glad to stay at home
and talk to him when he has no
money with which to entertain
her
A tactful girl can help the stu
alton very much by saying: why
90 We always have to go some
place when you call on me? Why
can't we stay home some evenings
and talk?"
After all. one of the tests of
love for which the first letter in
today's column asks, is how in
teresting are the lovers to each
other when they are alone? If
they enjoy comparing experiences
and telling each other every little
thing which happens. they are on
a good footing. True lovers never
seem to get themselves talked
out" They do not require con-
slant entertainment from the
outside.
