These were employees in the press

When word of the zeppelin's fate

ECKENER PLEA
IGNORED
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
Copyright. 1897. by international
News Service)

The Nazi government ignored
the advice Of its great dirigible ex
pert, DR.. Hugo Eckener, to safe
guard the Hindenburg by using
noninflammable helium instead OF
the highly dangerous hydrogen
gas for it's lifting power-and to,
day its twisted, flame-riven skele.
ton lay at Lakehurst with its
dead as tragic testimony Of the
error.
The gray-haired genius who
piloted Germany to its amazing
achievements in lighter-than-air
craft sought in vain to obtain
helium for the giant ship, Federal
officials recalled today.
But for Nazi Germany's fiscal
policy the Won Hindenburg might
still be serenely and safely riding
the skylanes.
Eckener lived in constant fear
that just such an accident as last
night which turned the Won Hin
denburg into a roaring torch
might one day come, his intimates
here said.
Planned to Use Helium
He planned to bring the huge
ship to America on it's maiden
voyage filled with hydrogen and
then to replace it with nonexplo-
Sive helium.
Eckener contacted the U. S.
Government, which controls a
world monopoly on helium, and
obtained permission to purchase a
sufficient supply of the gas.
Then he put it up to his gov.
eminent. His pleas were ignored.
The rare helium gas, which has
been used in American dirigibleS
for years, was extremely expensive.
Hydrogen was comparatively
cheap. Germany lacked foreign
exchange and a deaf ear was
turned to Eckener's pleas.
Told of Fears
Eckener knew he was riding a
powder key as long as his ships
were filled with hydrogen. He
acknowledged these fears to naval
experts during one Of his voyages.
He told them:
my ships are the safest struc-
turaIly in the world. But 1 want
heIium for their cells. 1t will
give the final factor of safety"
The Hindenburg made its
maiden voyage to America. It re
turned to Germany in triumph
But Eckener's plea for helium was
never fulfilled.
Disasters destroyed three of the
United States Nays dirigibles-
the Shenandoah. the Akron and
the Macon. Structural failures in
storms brought these ships down
but none of the three were raw
aged by fire. All used nonin
flamable helium. Naval officers
today said that had they been in
flated with hydrogen the loss Of
life, especially in the Macon dis
aster in 1885 off the California
coast where only two of the crew
of nearly 100 were killed, might
have been far greater.
Long Used Here

ploSion of one of it's first dirigibles

Armistice and War

November 18th is nationally ce-
LIBERATED as Armistice, j. e., the day
in 1918 when the treaty of peace
became effective in the "War to
end war" Nineteen years later the
world is tense with excitement be
cause of the expectation of war. All
of this proves that the mere in
genuity of man cannot bring peace.
Every true American loves his
country and believes in self protec-
ton, but this doesn't eclipse the
view of the u~selessness of war. The
inevitability, /. e., unavoidability
of war does not depend upon a need
of it; but bcause of the refusal to
obey Gods word, wars come in full
fllment of the scriptures as found
in Matt. 24:6, also the entire
chapter. We are admonished IF we
be willing and obedient, We shall
eat the good of the land; but if We
refuse and rebel, We shall be de
voured with the sward for the
mouth of the Lord hath spoken
it." lisa. 1A18-20.
War destroys human lives, cruel
fies civilization, works havoc with
the ideals and morals of nations.
War is everything horrible and de
structive. The wal that |, my
self and every true Christian be-
lieves in is the struggle of the spi-
rit against the flesh. If men did
not allow the flesh with its lusts
overcome them Individually nation
ally and internationally, we would
not have war. The Master Teacher
is also the Prince of Peace" To
accept Him as Dictator" in our
affairs would bring us the reign of
peace. Since it is obvious that ev-
eryone especially a majority will
not receive them "see that We be
not troubled On this Armistice
Day let everyone that wants
peace, let his treaty of peace with
God be signed in Jesus blood "for
He is our peace" His will bequeath-
ed to us is peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you: not as
the world giveth..... these things l
have spoken unto you, that in me
We might have peace. In the world
We shall have tribulation; but be of
good cheer, I have overcome the
world, Jno. 1927; 1888.

accept wage cuts of 10 per cent on
the same terms and conditions ac
ceptable to the 81 standard rail
road brotherhoods. In 1885 the
amount was restored to all by the
same process; and because of that

Two Harlemites
Are Certified As
Watchmakers

New York, Oct. % (By A. E
White for ANP)-The two proud
est men in Harlem are Peter Huff
stead and James Buchanan. They
are justified in being proud. By
qualifying as certified Watchmak-
ers, through a rigid examination
conducted by the Theological In
stitute of America, they have ach-
ieved the watchmaker's highest
rating.
In the science and art of watch
making, this rating is equivalent to
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
in the field of education. And sim
ilarly, this certificate is obtained
only by the most assidious applica-
ton to the finer side and technique
of matchmaking.
Inspired with an ambition to be-
come the best watchmakers in the
city, these two workmen filed to
take the examination; one because
of an inordinate pride in his work,
the other on a sheer bet that he
could pass the tests. Meeting ev-
cry preliminary requirement of the
institute, which in itself is a rigid
test, these two Harlemites deter
mined to do their best in acquiring
the rights to the certificate. The
work experience necessary before
the candidate can qualify; the bust
ness ethics demanded; the profes-
sional attitude called for; the shop,
the tools, all are investigated thor
oughly before permission to take
the test is given.
These tests include written and
manual work of a nature sorely
trying to an experienced man, en-
bracing as they do the most diff
cult and scientific phases of watch
making. And they are conducted
under the supervision of a monitor
appointed by the institute from
their Washington headquarters in
the United States Bureau of Stand
ards.
Records of the Neurological in
stitute show that their only about
20 certified watchmakers in the
state Of New York, compared with
the thousands of watchmahers do
ing business here. The records show
that there are only about 900 certi-
fled watchmahers in the entire
country-with the largest number
being found in the Middle West
where compulsory laws demand
this rating before a man can hang
out his single.
Peter Huffstead is in business
for himself; James Buchanan is a
valued employee of the Longines
Wittnauer company, one of the
worlds greatest houses.
