J. Kamplin, Bismarck, as state com- mander for 1931, named other state officers, selected Kenmare as the 1931 convention city and went home. Today Bismarck was back to nor- malcy after the most colorful three- day period in its history. A few con- vention stragglers remained, some of them to transact business matters, but the fanfare and frivolity of the last three days was gone. It may not return again until Bismarck has an- other convention of the great veter- ans body. Visitors were unanimous in declar- ing this year’s convention, the best ever held by the American Legion in North Dakota. They appreciated the hospitality of the city and the fine spirit of its citizens in making them welcome. On their part, Bismarck citizens were complimenting the Legion for a demonstration of pep and enthus- jasm reminiscent of war-time days. 18-Year-Old Minnesotan Given Long Sentence for Steal- ing and Jail-Breaking .

DIRIGIBLE, NOW BUILDING, WILL EXCEL ALL OTHERS | |The Akron Will Carry Airplanes and Can Fly 10,000 Miles Without Stop Washington, July 30.—(P—As_ the world’s largest dirigible forced her way across the Atlantic today work- men had passed the half-way mark in the construction of a United States airship larger even than the R-100. Since aeronautical experts hold nearly every lighter-than-air ship is obsolete by the time it flies, develop- ment of the navy’s ZRS-4 may make the R-100 an out-dated craft. Besides being nearly one-third larger than the British dirigible, the American ship named the Akron, will incorporate half a dozen revolution- ary features designed. to increase its effectiveness. Where the R-100 holds only 5,150,000 cubic feet of gas, the Akron will hold 6,500,000. The Akron will be 785 feet long as contrasted with the R-100's 709 foot length. Can Fly 10580 Miles The R-100 has cruising radius of about 6,000 miles, hut the Akron will be able to fly 10,580 without refueling. In the Akron, for the first time, there will be an airplane hangar, housing five fast fighting planes for scouting or protective purposes. Because inflammable hydrogen is the lifting gas in the R-100, the Brit- ish dirigible’s motors must be hung outside the hull of the ship. Eight motors, with shafts running to pro- pellers outside, will be inside the hull of the helium inflated Akron. These propellers will have a swivel arrange- ment so. they may be used to either push or pull, raise or lower the big gas bag. To Carry Guns For the first time a United States dirigible will carry guns when the Akron takes flight. It will be equipped to carry sixteen .50 calibre machine guns. The average machine gun fires bullets of only .30 calibre. While American naval officials feel the Akron will be more modern than the R-100, Lieutenant Commander Charles E. Rosendahl, a former com- mander of the Los Angeles, has Planned to leave Washington in time to watch the Montreal ground crew handle the British ship. A new mooring mast there more than 200 feet high, or 30 feet taller than any in the United States, is to be used. The Akron is scheduled for comple- tion by next June at a cost of $5,375,- 000, while a sister ship, the ZRS-5, costing $2,450,000, probably will be finished in the latter part of next year. TERNAL SPA GOOD NORTHWEST Shippers of Wheat Learn There Is No Need to Worry About Situation Duluth, July 30—()—With a nor- mal movement of grain reported and terminal elevator space for 32,000,000 bushels of northwest grain in the Twin Cities and at the head of the lakes, the present grain crop situation should give no cause for alarm, it was reported at a quarterly meeting here Tuesday of the northwest shippers’ advisory board. However, it is not possible at the present time to make any forecasts regarding future terminal conditions or the results of a hastened grain movement, P. J. Coleman, of Minne- apolis, chairman of the joint grain and transportation committee of the koard, said in a statement issued fol- lowing the meeting. The board will hold its next meet- ing in October at Grand Forks, N. D., with committee meetings slated for late next month. “If a substantial export demand is created in the near future, the entire situation will clarify itself,” Mr. Coleman said. “But, neither this committee nor any man can advise the farmers whether or not to sell. ive cig give them the facts and that is all.” It was reported there probably will be a decrease of eight per cent in fulseellaneos traffic to and from Du- uth. At the meeting it was brought out that butter production is as good as last year, less iron ore is being shipped, consumption of canned goods has increased, the potato crop in Min- nesota is expected to be a little larger than last year, and that conditions for livestock have been favorable, but drought is reducing the feed supply.

At that hour they had been up 216 hours. BRITISH DIRIGIBLE MAKING GOOD TIME OVER THE ATLANTIC World’s Largest Airship Will Probably Land at Montreal Early Thursday Morning WINDS PROVE FAVORABLE Reports She Is a Few Hundrea Miles From Belle Isle, Mak- ing 70 Knots an Hour London, July 30.—(?)—Speeding along at more than 70 miles an hour the British dirigible R-100 was more than two-thirds across the Atlantic ocean today with the expectation that she would sight land by 8 o'clock to- morrow morning, Greenwich meridian time, or about 3 a. m. (E. 8. T.). So much speed had the ship picked up because of favorable winds that she seemed likely to cut down even this margin of time and reach the coast of Newfoundland a little earlier than expected. At noon Greenwich meridian time the dirigible gave her position about 700 miles from Belle Isle. The positions given by the R-100 in- dicated she was following the steam- ship course between Fastnet and Belle Isle off the northern tip of New- foundland. If the dirigible should continue on this course she would make her land fall about Belle Isle and would then skirt the coast of Labrador passing over the Gulf of St. Lawrence and then swinging over the St. Lawrence river to Montreal. Between 7:15 and noon, the R-100 hit a speed of 70 knots which was much in excess of her previous aver- age of 50 knot# Since leaving her base, Cardington England, at 3:45 a. m., yesterday (9:45 p. m. Monday by eastern stand- ard time), the airship has made splendid progress. Advices from towns passed, fror the R-100's wireless and from ships at sea, told of the progress on a 3.385- mile transatlantic journey by the first British airship to cross the ocean in 11 years. No Excitement The ship made 60 miles an hour when not bucking too strong wind: and the six powerful motors hummed evenly. The crew and passengers settled down to a normal life, eating, sleeping and chewing gum in lieu of smoking. No one may smoke because of the danger of igniting the inflam- mable gas which fills the bag. (Continued on page nine) FORNER WIFE BOBS UPINBABY TANGLE Woman Claims She Married Watkins, Who Says They Were Legally Divorced Chicago, July 30.—(7)—A Mrs. Anna Van Stan Watkins today had added another complication to the Watkins- Bamberger babies controversy. Mrs. Watkins, described as a Phil- adelphia night club entertainer, in- formed newspapermen there that she had been married to William Watkins, one of the fathers involved in the mixup of babies at the Englewood hospital. Watkins made prompt denial yester- day of statements credited to the Philadelphia woman that they had not been legally divorced prior to his marriage to the present Mrs Wat- kins. He said he was -divorced in Cook county (Chicago) in March, 1928, and that he was married to his present wife June 29, 1929. Barratt O'Hara, attorney for Wat- kins, yesterday filed a suit in equity seeking to establish the identity of “John Doe,” the baby now in the pos- session of the Watkinses. The action is for the purpose of determining whether the baby is actually the in- fant born to Mrs. Watkins or whether the Watkins baby is the one now in the possession of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bamberger. Watkins assured his attorney, the latter said, that he would be able to prove the legality of his divorce from his first wife, in the event it should be challenged.
