In fact, it Is just the wav do my
own rooms always. Each should have

that is enough.
YEAR MRS. POST: We are moving
into a new apartment this Fall
and are taking a long lease, so that
carpeting the floors throughout seems
worth while. Heretofore we have used
smaller rugs, because they seemed
more practical. A friend suggested
a rug for the dining room, instead OF
wall to wall carpet. But I should
like TO have your opinion about this
devia tion first, please.
Answer-It is entirely q question Of
your personal taste. Wall to wall
carpets make a room look bigger.
Rugs are more easily taken up 10 be
cleaned. Personally I like the plain
rugs best. but figured ones show wear
less.

You are in very great danger, be-

IN A word. you are encouraging your
self to fall in love, although you
know that love is bound to bring
disaster upon you and two innocent
women. You know that it does not
enhance any married mans standing

subconsciously feel that the man who

The Way of All Dirigibles

Last week another great lighter-than-air craft,
the German dirigrole Hindenburs, went the way OF
nearly all such sky giants-a torn, SCARED. inslorius
wreck on the ground that gave it birth. And once
again the people Of the world are wondering. DO the
safety and efficiency of ~dirigibles warrant their con-
struetion?"
Within the past % years. ~dirigibles have been in
volved in is major disasters. which have resulted in
the deaths of approximately 400 passengers and crew
members. and the loss of millions of dollars. The last
five years have witnessed disaster to three of our own
lighter-than-air ships-the Macon, the Akron and the
Shenandoah-al of which were destroyed either by
the elements or through mechanical or structural i'm
perfection.
Although the Germans have been strikingly free
of tragedy with their d%irigibles, one wonders If, in
their successful operation of this type OF air ship, they
have been blessed with the postponement of the inev-
liable. Perhaps they are more proficient in the ships
construction. for it must be remembered that Ger
many is the land of its birth and development. 1t was
in Germany where Count Zeppelin built the first dir
igible, and his work is being carried on by his sue
cessor, Count Hugo Eckener, skipper of the Inflated
Hindenburg who was not aboard on its Inflated jour
ney.
There is always the arguement offered after such
an air disaster. whether it be airplane. seaplane or
dirigible, that there must be pioneers-that in all I'M
tested ventures, persons must sacrifice their lives.
This is a grim fact, but true. The world reyers the
memory of our heroes who have died for the advance
ment of air travel, and heaps honors on aviators who
make hazardous flights to further, through technical
knowledge gained, the conquest of the air.
We believe. however. that Is years experiment
have proved dirigibles a failure. considering the few
constructed which have all met a sad end. These mas
sive air ships cost up TO ) 1000 600, a sum which
could be be diverted into more profitable channels, in
our opinion. They are too easy to sabotage and have
little value in modern warfare-a well-directed shot
from a speedy plane will send them down in flames.
We are air travel enthusiasts bur we believe it
would be to the best interests of our federal aero
nautics department to ask for no more appropriations
to construct d~irigibles. The technicians and research
experts employed in its development could be of bet
ter use in building a faster and safer airplane pro-
gram.
