A year ago last May, when the
giant Hindenburg exploded while
landing at Lakehurst, N. j., the
world thought ighter-than-air craft
were proven failure. But though
one after another airship has been
wrecked by structural defects, war
time shells, storms and explosions,
Germany still has faith.
Just launched is the new LZ-130,
christened "Graf Zeppelin" after an
earlier ighter-than-air ship. The
new Graf Zeppelin is a sister ship
of the Inflated Hindenburg, and in
outward appearance is the same.
But visit to the hangar at Fried
richshafen, Germany, offers con-
vincing proof that the similarity
ends there.
The LZ-13O is 8O3 feet long with
a beam of 1875 feet. When inflated
it will hold 100000 cubic feet of
gas, helium if the United States gov
eminent will supply it. Germany
wants to avoid hydrogen, whose in
f1ammability caused the linden
burg's downfall.
Eckener Is Leader.
The guiding genius behind Ger
many's dirigibles is DR.. Hugo Ecke-
ner, who has devoted most of his
life to ighter-than-air research.
Most of the new LZ-130's new fea-
lures can be attributed to him. For
example, the mass of metal inside
the ship is made of duralurnin, an
amazingly light alloy. Helium-if
Germany gets twill be stored in
16 doughnut-shaped compartments.
The ship is powered by four 1000
horsepower motors capable of TAX
ing the ship from Germany to Lake
hurst, N. j., in two and one-half
days, returning in two. Store rooms,
baggage compartments and passen-
ger accommodations are inside the
monsters belly, but actual naviga-
ton takes place in gondola-like con-
troll cars.
The Graf Zeppelin has 20 cabins,
accommodating 40 passengers as
compared with the Hindenburg's
load of 70. The smaller load is
necessitated because helium lifts
slower than hydrogen. Dining quar-

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

When Cooking Greens. - If
piece of fat about the size of a
nutmeg is added to the water in
which any kind of green's are be-
ing cooked there will be no boiling
over and no stirring will be re-
quired.
Bright Clothes for Children
You may not like wildly colored
clothes, but they are the safest
thing to wear in traffic. It is adj
visable to dress children in such
costumes to help protect them
from accidents.
Save Salty Water.-When water
in which salt has been boiling is
poured over coal, it makes good
coal last longer and improves bad
coal.
Flowers and Vase for Sick.-It is
an excellent idea when sending
cut flowers to a hospital to send
an inexpensive vase with them.
Nurses often find it difficult to find
vases enough to hold flowers.
Salt Improves COffee.-The fla
vor of coffee is improved if little
salt is sprinkled on the bottom of
the pot before the coffee is put in.
To Clean Satin Slippers.-Rub
slippers with cloth dipped in a
little alcohol to which a few drops
Of lemon juice have been added.
Keeping Paint.-If a can of
paint has to be left open, stir it
thoroughly, so as to dissolve all
the oil, then fill up with water.
When it becomes necessary to use
the paint pour off the water and
you will find it as fresh as when
first opened.
To Press Ribbons. - Dampen
ribbons and iron them between it's
sue paper.
Well-Fitting Hose. - Children's
stockings ought to be selected
carefully. Short ones cramp toes
and will eventually make them
crooked. Too long ones wrinkle
and twist, irritating toes and
heels. Also, children should be
taught to wear a fresh pair Of
stockings each morning. Don't al
low your youngsters to wear ga
loshes in the house or classroom.
Apples for the Winter.-To keep
apples through the winter, bore
holes in the bottom and sides of
barrel and store on dry plat
form foot or more from the
ground. Where only a few apples
are available for storage, a good
plan is to carefully wrap them
singly in paper, then pack them in
layers three or four deep in shall
low boxes and place them in the
coolest position in the house or
outbuilding.

Almost at once I remarked that
on one of these, three frs were
standing together to thrust gray
green steeple into the sky: this, I
was sure, could be seen from the
farther side and so would make us a
landmark for future use. The next
thing I saw was a path which slant
ed up from the meadows into the
woods, and when / had taken my
glasses, I found that it led to an
elegant belvedere, or open summer
house. This looked unfrequented,
and but for my glasses could not
have picked it out, for the trees
which had been cut back had put
forth new boughs. Because of the
veil of foliage, nobody standing
there could ever be seen from be-
low, yet he could see as much as
he wished by peering between the
leaves. To reach this spot from
above looked easy enough, for it
hung short 80 feet below the crest
of the hill and the ground between
was covered with beech and fir.
This was enough for me. My one
idea was to make for the Rolls and
then to go round by road and get to
the belvedere as soon as ever I
could. But Herrick, deep in men,
DRY, would not be moved.
'Why rush your fences?" he said.
We've plenty of time. I'm doing

a picture that hung in the dining
room. That's the dining-room at the
end. You can't see the stables from
here-they're behind to the left. But
what I'm on now is the tower. I
think it rises from the courtyard

I had sudden idea.
"All right" I said. I'll go on.

ST PROMISE" said I. ''Don't be
long," and, with that, I was gone.
Retracing my steps, I did not use
the drive, but moved by it's side
through the bracken beneath the
trees. As I approached the track, I
saw that the car was still there and
had not been moved.
Now all I knew was that Virgil
and his companions had passed up
the track out of sight. How far they
had gone or whether they had kept
to the track, had no idea, but since
it seemed pretty clear that they
would not be very far off, from now
I took greater precautions against
being SEEN. When I moved, did
| so gently and went on my hands
! and knees, and whenever I rose to
| look around, I did so against tree
trunk, as though, indeed, / were
stalking some wary prey.
First of all, ! took a good look at
the car. This was roomy and pow
erful and something the worse for
wear. It's municipalities had been
oiled and were coated with dust.
One Of its doors was ajar, and within
I could see an old suitcase, no doubt
containing "the Clothes" But that
was all, and after long look round,
I went on my way.
1t was nearly six o'clock, and
had been gone from Herrick a full
half-hour when the track beside
| which was moving came to an
end. This to my dismay, for now
I had nothing to go on, although, of
course, the track might have led me
wrong.
In vain sought for a broken stem
of bracken which might declare the
trail which my friends had left: in
vain I scanned the forest and
strained my ears: but for the birds
and the squirrels, I might have had
the world to myself.
Flat against the trunk of an oak
tree, I wiped the sweat from my
face. Five PAGES ahead a ride had
been cut through the woods: though
this was thick with bracken, it gave
me pretty clear view to right and
to left, but the food stretched
smooth and unbroken and / could
see no sign of its having been
crossed.
10th to admit defeat, I tried to
think what to do. To proceed was
easy enough, but, for all I knew,
with every step that I took I might
be going away from the party I
sought. Yet to stay where I was
was useless. If only there had been
hillock to add a few feet to my
height, I could have looked down
upon the bracken and that point of
view might have shown me the
traces the others had left. But there
was no hillock: the ground here
abouts was sloping, but nothing
| more.
Suddenly I thought of the oak
tree and lifted my eyes -.

By JOSEPH w. LaBINE

The sun is beginning to shine
through Americas southwest

years ago there was drouth
and desolation, encouraged
farmers now prick up their
ears to hear rain pound on
windows that were once pock-
marked by sandstorms.
This is taking place in the

But it extends northward, too,

nothing else would grow.

for this new optimism, for the de-
pressing dry cycle of the 1905 ap-

If I could reach it, there was the
place I desired. One of the mighty
branches was stretching out over
the ride-a branch twice as thick as
my loins, some 20 feet up. If /
were there, I could see for quar-
ter of a mile, while the leaves OF
the lesser boughs would save me
from being seen.
After long look about me, ]
leaped for a sturdy sucker and
swung myself up. My branch was
not easy to come to, because what
handhold there was was so far be-
tween, and I must confess that,
whilst I fought my way up, / could
not help wondering how / should
ever get down. However, would
not turn back, and after two or
three minutes I flung leg over
the perch upon which I had set my
heart.
I now had a very good view Of
the whole of the ride, which sloped,
on the left, to the meadows south
west of the house, and rose, on the
right, to circus, whence three 9TH
er rides ran out, as spokes from a
hub. Across the ride two definite
trails had been left-or, rather, one
and a half. The first, which
stretched right across, was 80 PAGES
away, to the left of the oak; and
the second, which stretched but half
way, as far to the left again. At the
end of this second trail, full in the
midst of the ride, the woman was
sitting alone, with her back towards
me.
To say that I felt bewildered
means nothing at all. What on earth
she was doing there, could not con-
ceive, and at last made up my
