"ROCKTNG-CHAIR" EXPERTS

During an administration W hi c h
thinks nothing of practically throwing
away hundreds of millions. It will pro-
oably be considered "pikerish" to do a
bit Of scolding about wasting a few mil
lions.
Yet there are some still left who up
hold the old standards of thrift and &C.
onomy and who do not relish, to put it
mildly, the asserted obstinacy of the
United States navy "higher-upS" in re-
fusing to heed the advice of experts
that the structure of the Macon dirigi-
Bile be strengthened.
Officials of the Goodyear-Zeppelin
corporation, which built the Macon, re-
ported that the navy turned a deaf ear
to their pleadings that the structure be
strengthened when the craft was being
built. Their suggestions were turned
down because navy experts said the
proposed changes would make the
Macon too heavy.
1t has been fairly definitely estab-
lished that weakness in the structure
was responsible for the disaster this
spring when the Macon was wrecked
off the California coast with the loss of
one life. Only by great good fortune
which decreed that the disaster came in
TIE udy lll1le anu Will pitIitA VI dSolSO-
ance around, was loss of life similar
to that experienced when the Akron was
lost, averted.
The Macon cost several millions of
dollars and was a total loss in very
few minutes That as we have already
stated. is not a subject for criticism
when the government is throwing money
right and left for any purpose or no
purpose at all.
But there is another angle to it. No
government worthy the name, and no de-
partment of that government, has the
right to risk the lives of men as those
aboard the Macon were risked, without
taking every precaution to guard them
to the utmost.
The men aboard the Macon knew
their business Given the proper kind
of craft they can keep abreast and
even surpass the exploits of other ma
tions in handling lighter-than-air craft.
1t is criminal to handicap them with a
craft that is not all that it should be.
The rocking chair" experts of the
navy are the ones who are really to
blame. 1t might be we'll, as long as con-
gress is in a spending and investigation
mood, to do a little investigating on the
expert navy advice which let the
Macon go forth an inefficient ship.

PROSPERITY FOR TWO

Some enterprising automobile manu-
faeturer is going to get the jump on his
competitors by including on his 1886
models an accessory recently recon-
mended by no less an authority than the
illustrious Arthur Brisbane, Public
ColumniSt No. l.
Somebody recently wrote in and asked
him about Toggenburg goats.
The writer admitted he didn't know
much about them but, like a good news
paperman, he dug out all the necessary
information and more. In his way of
adopting and boosting something that he
believes is good, he lauded and praised
the Toggenburgs for nearly half a col
umn.
He wonnd up by highly recommending
the milk of the Toggenburg goat as the
best in the world Qmperial Valley
dairymen take note) - and suggested
that families planning automobile tours
should place a Toggenburg goat on a
trailer or on the running board, so that
when on tour the family could have
plenty of good fresh milk. AT the end
of the days run the goat would be
milked, providing a full supply for the
family. Then the goat would be turned
loose to Craze. or be fed by hand, get
good nights sleep and a long auto ride
the next day, and once more be ready to
provide the bulk Of the meal.
That is where the automobile manu-
facturers come in. Instead of laying out
smart and attractive looking advertise
ments emphasizing the outward beauty,
mechanical perfection and low cost OF
his particular car, the first manutactur-
er who offers a Toggenburg goat as
standard equipment on his auto, is going
to get the cream of the trade. There
will be money in it.
Adopting this suggestion Will also
make money for another industry-the
gas mask manufacturers, Gas masks
for the entire family will also be found
necessary accessories with Toggen-
burg goat along, or even within radius
of a quarter of a mile-if the wind is
Just right.

for two industries and now has only
