Era of Sea Travel
BY KENNETH T. DOWNS

LAKEHURST, N. j., May 9
d.N.S0.-Like a huge, silver foot
ball three city blocks long, the
great dirigible Hindenberg landed
here today and made history.
She completed the first regular
commercial north transatlantic
flight with 81 passengers and q
crew Of Sc, and a cargo of mail
and freight. She smashed all ex.
iSting records for lighter-than-air
voyages from Europe to North
America. It was 500 a. m. (E.S.T0
when the ballast lines were dropped
at the mooring mast, marking the
official end Of the flight. Her
lapsed time from Friedrichshafen,
Germany, was 81 hours and SO
minutes, the old record set by the
Graf Zeppelin in 1929 was IS
hours and 90 minutes.

The passengers first went to
the customs room in the hangar
and then were taken by bus to
planes at the eastern end of the
field where they boarded planes
for the brief flight to Newark air

The first words of DR.. Hugo
Eckener, the German air wizard
who commanded the triumphant
flight, were:
Howdy, America. HOwdy!"
He leaned his gray head from
q control room window and
waved to the crowd of some 5000
which watched the landing.

Police Remove Body
From 20 Feet of
Staenant Water

The body Of 9-year-old Mary Wiz.
ginia Farrell, who had been re-
ported missing from her home
here early today, was found
shortly after noon in a stagnant
pool Of water in q desolate wooded
section near BladenSburg Road
and New York Avenue Northeast.
Apparently she had drowned.
The scene Of her death was in a
water-fiEled abandoned clay pit on
the grounds Of a brickyard. The
water in places is approximately
65 feet deep.
Search for the child was begun
after another child had told police
and the girls parents that he had
seen her fall into the pool and
fail to come to the surface, and
when police found her overallS
and stockings on the bank Of the
pit.
In 20 Feet Of Water
Her body was nude when found
and police believe she. may have
waded into the pool and slipped
on its clay bottom. Her body was
recovered by Harbor Precinct po-
lice about 10 feet from the pool
edge in about 20 feet Of water.
The harbor police had transported
q boat from the Potomac River
base Of the Harbor Precinct to
drag the pool.
Robert e. Mayfield, Of the
United Clay Products Company,
owners of the 6rickyard, said signs
had been posted to keep children
sout. Police, however, recalled that
a Civilian Conservation Corps boy
was drowned there last summer
and several other casualties re-
ported in past years.

Hybrid Tea Roses Need Water
In abundance, Says Specialist

An abundance Of water Is one Of
the most important needs of hybrid
tea roses and, If the beds are properly
drained, there is little danger Of over
watering, according to Walter r. Bal
lard, specialist in landscape garden
ing for the Extension Service. He
states that the severe weather OF
last Winter killed back many Of the
hybrid tea roses so severely that
little Of the plant was left after the
Spring pruning. Plants generally
have made strong new growth,
he says, and advises every effort TO
build up strong plants.
Methods Of watering recommended
by Mr.. Ballard are to soak the ground
thoroughly, but avoid as far as pos
sible wetting the foliage, as this has
tendency to stimulate the develop
ment Of fungas diseases. As the sum"
mer approaches, he advises mulching
the rose beds with peat moss or similar
material, which helps to retain the
moisture and keep the soil cCol.
II roses could be protected some-
what from the suns heat during the
hottest part Of the day, it would be
beneficial, he states. High tempera-
lures are detrimental to growth and
development of roses and the plants
have a tendency to 60 into a semi
dormant condition. As cool weather

the removal Of heat by the evapora-
ton Of the moisture. In most parts
Of the country, however, this isn't
an awfully pleasant system, as the air

water vapor, and you would be very

The new portable air conditioners
which have been so widely accepted

by the air conditioner located in the

Although these air conditioners are
pretty weighty machines it is pos

the effect Of completely -condi-

In addition to the portable ma
chimes you can also get semi portable
devices which require a built-in water
supply and drain line as well as spe-
cial wiring facilities. These air-con-
ditioners are usually slightly larger
in capacity than the other types, and

If you have back yard or terrace
and want to make it the most popu-
lar place in the neighborhood, per-
haps a rather dubious honor, you
should look into the matter of INSTALL
ing one Of the portable wading pools
recently announced to a foot-sore
world.
Designed primarily for the pleasure
Of little children who can cavort and
splash about in it with no danger Of
drowning, it Is also very pleasant
spot for grown ups that have the urge
to take their shoes and stockings of
every time they see body Of water.
The little pool is feet long by 3
feet wide and foot deep, so 1t is on-
viously an easy thing to set up and
move about. The water carrying part
of the device is made Of heavy rubber
ized canvas which is supported on a
well-built steel frame. A length Of
pipe surmounted by conventional
shower head is also included in the
standard setup, and gentle spray OF
cooling water is sprinkled over the
assembled bathers.
We predict that the children Of
people installing these wading pools
are going to have the same trouble
with their parents that they have at
Christmas time, when the electric
train is in operation or new toy
has Just been introduced. The price
of these pools is so low though that
some of the smarter children will sell
their bothersome parents on the idea
of having one of their own.

that nowadays every woman can be

SO on. But we never held an ugly
duckling contest. That's one she GER
tainly would have topped. And that
remark is prompted by truth, not by
desire to be catty.
But what a beauty that ugly
duckling has become. Straight and
smart. Her hair is changed; her skin
is changed; she wears glasses, always
has. but they seem to add charm to
her face. Her walk is different. And
she talks in such a quiet, poised way.
I'm convinced that the change is pos
sible. But isn't it a colossal job?"
Maybe 1t is a colossal Job. But
isn't it worth it? The fact, however,
isl suspect the job grew on the
school chum of Mrs. WIS. You culti-
vate daily daintiness habits and they
all become part Of the routine-quick
and easy. You become conscious Of
your carriage and before you know
1t you are straight and smart, as Mrs.
w. puts it.
Once upon time there were ugly
ducklings. No doubt. Then Nature
handed down laws and looks. Then
women had straight hair and COM
plexes. Today they have curls and
compilations. What has happened in
the meantime2 Science stepped in.
Then merged with art. The combine
has been world beater. 1t has taken
women to new heights in beauty.
Science and art whisper in each ear,
There, now, We dare you to outwit
Nature" That starts things. For. as
I've said so many times, women love
challenge.
To preserve beauty when you've
been born beautiful is one thing. But
to achieve more beauty than Nature
ever intended, that's another. And
