'Flight of Airship To Solve Vital ZR-1 to Pole Radio Problems Experts Confident Dirigible Can Com- . municate With Far North Stations. Precise Position ‘When the great naval airship ZR-1 goes to the north pole she will carry radio to the top of the world, whether 1t is late this summer or next spring. If she reaches that northern pinnacle, and experts insist there is no reason to doubt her ability, the naval airghip will be able to prove the fact by wvirtue of her bearing from northern ,radio stations. In these days of sclentific achievement proof is re- quired, and in the event an arctic explorer gets to the pole with a radio compass or a transmitting set, there can be no doubt of his exact position. Together with a complete radio receiving and transmitting set, the ‘ZR-1 is equipped with the latest type radio compass, which at the pole would show radio stations picked up as bearing directly south, while at all radio stations within communica- tion distance her position would be due north. Start Late In August. By the time the aerial explorers are’ ready to start their northern flight, toward the end of August, Mac- Millan's radio experiments from the Bowdoin will have proven whether Fadlo will carry through the aurora @ point_on which thefe seems to be some doubt. MacMillan, however, will not be able to take his set very near the pole, but will be forced to abandon it and the Bowdoin at the edge of the ice, leaving it to the Navy to carry radio to the pole dtselt. Weather bureau officlals report that messages from Amundsen's JMaude have been recelved by relay und that a daily message on meteoro- Jogical conditions is recelved regu- Jarly during the winter months from Spitzenbergen located at latitude 78 north. It it is possible to put radio ‘messages through from the far north, the world will hear of the ZR-l's progress and her arrival over the Torthernmost point on earth. While Rear Admiral Moffett, chlef of the naval bureau of aeronautics and the crew of the ZR-1 believe the trip is feasible and are literally “rarin’ to go" the date of departure depends upon her flight trials sched- uled in August. only require a few days it is possible that it can be made before the long winter of the north sets in with its Jow visibility and extreme cold, but if tests and flights are delayed until Scptember the exploration cruise may have to be postponed until next &pring. Route Not Mapped. | No detalls as to route have been amapped out. Two courses are being considered, however, one _directly | morth from Lakehurst, N. J., her home station, and the other morthwesterly 10 Alaska, using Nome as an advance ‘base. From Nome the course due morth would be 1,766 statute miles. a little over a good day's run. The British R-34 crossed the Atlantic and Teturned to England in 1919, trav- ersing a distance of over 7.000 miles in a week's time, and in 1917 a Ger- man Zeppelin made a cruise of 5,500 miles in four days. The cruising radlus of the naval craft is between four and five thousand miles, 8o the distance of the polar trip is not con- sidered extreme for this 680-foot wcraft. Meteorologists and Capt. Evelyn B. Raldwlin, an arctic explorer, point out that while surface winds from the far north blow in a southwesterly di- rection, at higher levels the warmer currents bear toward the nmorth and would ald a polar flight. Capt. Bald- win, who suggested an aerial polar filght years ago, recently talked to the ZR-1 crew on polar exploration, answering innumerable questions. ‘Among other things he explained the advantages of a summer flight as against one undertaken in darkness and cold. Winter Best For Radlo. A winter trip, however, radio ex- sperts point out would aid radio trans- mission materially. But with her radlo operating from a 300-foot an- tenna at a great helght, it is felt that the aerfal cruiser would be able 10 send satisfactorily in the arctic day as well as in the night. Accord- ing to Ralph Upson's report to the General Electric Company, in using radio from his balloon at an altitude of over 3,000 feet, he encountered no Since the trip would | Can Be Shown. static whatever during the recent balloon race. Radio stations in the north are fairly numerous, and it is believed that the ZR-1, once on her trip, could keep In communication with several to check her course. In the event she was_uncertain of her position, she would either call two or more radio compass stations and ask for her po- sition, or, having picked up two or more radlo stations and observing their bearings by her radio compass, plot her own position. In this man- ner_she could hardly go wrong and could correct her course readily, pro- vided her radio continued to operate successfully. Incidentally, she could not “fake” her position at the pole, as the world would soon_be advised by radio sta- tions that he reported position was incorrect. Capt. Baldwin points out that in the far north the compass s sluggish and that data for its cor- rection are meager. It is his bellet that the only accurate method of proceeding in the polar trips today is with the ald of radlo and radio compasses. Many Stations Available. Among_the stations to which the ZR-1 could report are: Three in Ice- land; Spitzbergen, on the 78th paral- lel; Ingoy, 71 N.: several in northern Russia; our own Army and Naval statl in Alaska; Jan Mayen sta- tion, on Iceland, and Mijgbugton, 73 degrees N., on the coast of Greeland. Certainly these are sufficient to get cross-bearings and correct the course northward. If the stations are equip- ped with compasses, all the better; out as the ship will have a radio com pass, the reception of their signa is all the navigation officer will re- quire. The ZR-1 is equipped with a_type S.E. 1390 transmitter, designed for flying boats like the NC-4, which made the record trip across to Eng- land. It has modifications, making it gasproof. The transmitter uses six 50-watt tubes, giving it an input of 300 watts and an average output of 150 watts for wave lengths of 507, 600, 800 and 975 meters on I. C. W. and C.' W. com- munication. It is possible to use this set for radio telephone work, but it is not contemplated on the early flights. Whole Set Tented. The whole set has been tested on the bench with a_phantom type hav- ing _the same characteristics as a trailing wire antenna_ three hundred feet long, i. e. fundamental wave length three hundred and fifteen meters ; 300 micromicrofarads cap- acity; and 93 microhenries induct- ance, the resistance ranging through the wave lengths from 9 to 13 ohms, giving a radiation of five amperes. Arrangements will be made for an antenna for use when making a land- ing. It will be of the loop type fixed between the control car and the two leading wing cars and can be used for communicating when on the ground. The alrships recelving appartus will consist of a tuner of the ordin- ary two circult type, in conjunction with a six-step amplifier using six S. E. 1444 tubes, three stages radio, a detector and two stages of audlo amplification. The long range re- ceiver will be one of new design hav- ing a range up to thirty thousand meters using Rs an amplifier. A universal amplifer of six steps with telephone jacks for using either radio- audio alone in one or two steps will be employed. Compass in Keel. The radio compass probably will be installed in the keel, just forward of the control car, and may be used for taking bearings on wave lengths from 500 to 30,000 meters. This compass coll is rather unique in that it is of spehrical shape and has two sets of colls. In the long-wave reception all the winding is used, but In the short-wave recep- tlon it is divided into two coil and the variometer effect 18 taken advantage of. The alrship's name will constitute her radio call, just as the ZR-2 before her destruction answered to “ZR-2." Lieut. J. H. Gowan, U. S. N., will be in charge of radio,” assisted by Chief Radioman J. T. Robertson. The elec- tric power will be supplied by a gaso- Kine-engine driver generator and a 200- ampere-hour storage battery, similar in operation to the electric power plant of an automobile. These units will supply current for lighting as well as radlo purposes. The battery itself will have sufficlent capacity to provide be- tween one and two hours operation for the radia set in case of a generator breakdown. - Goddesses of the Moon. Prom the Kansas City Times. Luna is the Latin name for the moon. To the Romans, however, Juna s not a planet, but a god- dess, who drove her silver chariot mcross the sky. This goddess was mot always gentle and kind, and was “belleved sometimes to drive insane 4hose who had serlously offended her. From this old superstition the word “lunatic” grew up. But there ~was another deity, a far more im- mortant one, named Diana, and since she was the sister of the sun god, LApollo, she must, argued her wor- ehipers, have something to do with the moon. To her, therefore, grad- wally were transferred the qualities »f Luna, until in time the two were smerged into one conception. Luna, Mowever, was the original Roman moon goddess, and her worship idates back to the time of Romulus, Zounder of Rome, in 753 B. C. S Modern Falconry. From the Kansas City Star. Falconry is not entirely a sport of #ho past. In Chitral, on the north- avestern frontler of Indla, it is still 4he popular pastime; and it is said that the skilled Chitrall falconers will train the wild hawk to obedience and service in fourteen days, while ‘they have been known to accomplish the feat in five. The ground covered is generally avild and precipitous, and the quarry 4s usually #he chakor, a large par- tridge, whose discovery is signaled by cries and garments waved vigorously in the air. As the quarry swings by, the hunt- er balances and swings forward the goshawk on his fist, and the bird, avith two or three strokes of her powerful wings, is launched in pur- uit. i As she gets under way the Chit- salis raise a prolonged snout. The ‘hunters, who are eagerly watching, ce the flylng chakor, a brown ball {Wo hundred yards and more away, avith a bigger brown mass rapidly «closing in on it. The two come fto carth together. ~ A falconer at once mlunges down the hill to retrieve the Quarry and take up the hawk. It gnay be that one of the hunters has wurned and taken a fresh hawk on #is fist, when suddenly there are houts and a covey will fly down the wind close to the hunting party. fThen the hunter will throw off the awk and another of the party will joose a falcon.

Turko-Greek Deportations Have No Parallel in Ancient Annals. ‘Willlam T. Ellis, in the Saturday Evening Post. When Mr. Wells portrays for a popular audience the atrocities of Attlla or of Jenghiz Khan or of Ti- mur the Lame the shock is purely intellectual, for the reality Is remote in time and place and circumstances. This present horror of the “ex- change ot populations” in the near east is a present actuality; it is going on this very moment.. Most persons cannot contemplate that anything epochal and broadly his- toric can take place under their own eyes; we turn to the sacred record of the Jewish exile into Babylonia for a typlecal story of deportation. Yet that event was small and simple as compared with the Turco-Greek d portations now actually in_progress. Many tears have been shed over the plight of the Acadlans, as plc- tured by Longfellow in “Evangel- ine,” yet there are more exiles In Selamle barracks at this moment than were involved in the whole Acadlan catastrophe, and they are in an_infinitely worse plight. Even though this enforced migra- tion, with its incidental loss of life mounting into thousands, is too near and too contemporaneous to be com- rehended, let us see if we cannot at east get a grip on the simple causes and chronology of it. Professional propagandists are crying: “The unspeakable Turks have done it!” or “The greedy Greeks did it!" But the cold, unmistakable truth, that will appear with increas- ing clearness on the pages of history after the clamor of the propagan- d has died down, is that politi- clans did it, and the shrewd and in- terested forces behind them. - Laying in a Stock.

WASHINGTON. D. C. RADIO NEWS President Harding's address in San Francisco Tuesday will be carried to the largest audience which ever heard a human voice. Microphones connected with the transcontinental line of the Bell system will carry his volce to WEAF, in New York City; WCAP, in Washington; WNAQ, in Chicago; WOAW, in Omaha, Neb., and KPO, in San Francisco. Broadcasting through stations at six scattered points will make the President’s volce avallable to av- in all parts of The President 111 speak in San Francisco at 8 p.m., local time, which is midnight in Washington. If any further evidence were neces- sary to prove the safety of radio there was plenty of it furnished dur- ing the severe electrical storm last Saturday. Lightning entered the AMRAD broadeasting station at Medford Hili- side, Mass., during the worst of the storm, which was very severe locally. Investigation showed that it was at- tracted by the electric light wires, which it completely demolished. The electric light service was paralyzed. However, the 320-foot steel antenna tower used in connection with the broadcasting was not touched, nor the powerful broadcasting apparatus, thereby proving that a radio antenna and a receiving or transmitting set does not attract lightning in any way. Time was when uninformed persons thought the installation of radio pro- vided an extra fire hazard. This be- lief has been somewhat dispelled by the experts, who call the lightning hazard of radio a “childish bugaboo.” No less authority than Dr. Steinmetz, the electrical wizard, the man who recently produced an electrical storm all his own, has [d that the radio installation properly made was a pro- tection rather than a source of dan- ger from lightning. The truth of his statement was verified by the practi- cal test last Saturday. AIR LINES TO KNIT BRITAIN TO COLONIES Private Company, Backed by Gov- ernment, Aims to Make India Trip in Three Days. erage recelving s the United Stat By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, July 27.—Great Britain's dream of commercial aerial lines to the distant parts of the empire has Leen revived in consequence of the air secretary’s announcement that the government had accepted the much- discussed scheme put forward by Commander Charles Burney. The plan first provided for the opening of a service to India and later to Australla, Canada and other far-flung British lands. It involves the use of gigantic dirigibles with a speed of elghty miles an hour and a cruising radius of half way around the world, and is expected to bring India within three days travel of London and Australia seven days. A private company will be formed with a caplital of £400,000, of which half will be pald up. The £200,000 thus represented will be augmented by a government loan of £400,000, and with this total of £600,000 the opera- tions will be started. The government will not accept responsibility for profits to the shareholders, but. will grant an increasing subsidy after a bi-weekly service has been in opera- tion for three months. The first airship to be constructed will be of 4,000,000 cubic feet capacity and have a displacement of 150 tons. WHITE BOTTOM PAINT IS FOE TO BARNACLES U. S. Laboratory Hopes to Pre- vent Growths on Ships. Fram the New York Herald. One of the oldest problems con- fronting shipowners—the prevention of fouling of ships’ bottoms by marine growths—shows indications of hav- ing been solved as the result of ex- periments at the laboratory of the bureau of fisheries at Beaufort, N. C. Barnacles and other growths are par- ticularly attracted by certain colors and repelled by others. Barnacles seen to have an especial dislike for white, while they flock to red like flies around molasses. Red has long been the conventlonal color for paint- ing ships’ bottoms, as the paint used has a foundation of copper. The problem has been solved for wooden ships already by the use of copper sheathing, but it is imprac. ticable to use this on steel ship: which must depend upon paint for protection. At present it is the prac- tice to use two kinds of paint; the first, an anti-corrosive coat, over which is applied a toxic paint to pre- vent the attachment of various growths. The new method may ob- viate this need for two coats by em- bodyIng the non-corrosive element in a coat of white paint. The result of the experiments at Beaufort, which were obtained by lowering painted glass plates into barnacle-infested waters for three months, ar Yellow and green, slightly foul: red, blue and black, heavily coated with marine growth. These last named colors are the ones most generally used. Mistaken Identity.

PROBE RYAN’S ACTIVITY IN “POISON-PEN” CASE Prosecutor Thinks Financier Visit- ed Apartment of Maxwell to Find Evidence. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 27.—Expressing the conviction that Allan A. Ryan, capitallst, was the ‘‘detective” who visited the apartment of George Max- well, president of the American As- soclation of Authors, Composers and Publishers, in company with Assist- ant District Attorney Kilroe, and ob- tained evidence on which Maxwell was Indicted for the writing of peison-pen letters about Mrs. Ryan, Acting District Attorney Pecora has announced he would conduct a thor- ough {investigation into Mr. Kilroe's handling of the case. Testimony of Mr. Ryan before the grand jury, made public when Mr. Maxwell obtained permission to in- spect the minutes in his fight to quash the indictments, was to the effect that Mr. Ryan had obtalned there several pictures of Mrs. Ryan in Maxweil's company, and an article of wearing apparel belonging to her. Mr, Ryan specifically denied that he had visited the apartment seeking evidence to be used in a divorce suit and_declared his only object was to send Maxwell to jail. Neither District Attorney Banton nor myself had the slightest idea that Mr. Ryan had visited Mr. Maxwell's apartment,” Mr. Pecora said. Maxwell has indicated determina- tion to bring some form of action against Mr. Ryan as soon as the charges against him have been per- manently disposed of. African Mud Houses. From Popular Science Magazine. The native of Kirdi-Massa, on the west coast of Africa, builds his home of a stiff clay much like the adobe used by Mexicans and Indians. This is poured over a framework of slen- der wooden poles used as reinforce- ments, and allowed to dry in the sun. The design is worked on with a crude trowel-like tool while the mud is moist. The houses look like huge anthills, with only an inadequate opening for & door in_the side and a small round chimney hole at the top to admit light and air. The design on the outside is often elaborate and worked out with the greatest pains, for it serves to identify the owner of the hut, and is virtually “copy- righted” by him. e A Seattle woman driving too fast to a card party won't be there for ninety days now.

PARIS, July 28.—The American embassy is seeking information about John Louls Ayotte of Sheboy- gan, Wis., serving a sentence for arson. The embassy's object is to present an application for clemency to the French government as instructed from Washington. When a doughboy in France, Ayotte married Mlle. Larinler Chal- onssur-Saone, and took her home with him, but they returned. to France on urgent appeals from the girl's father. Father and son-in-law were unable to agree. Then a barn on thelr farm burned down and Ayotte was convicted of arson. His friends feel that he did not have adequate defense because of his limited knowledge of the French language. They think that there was nothing more to the case than a family quarrel. The French gov- ernment has informed the American Ald Soclety that it will release Ayotte if it finds there are extenuat- ing circumstances and he has prom- ised to return to the United States as soon as he is released. LENIN A RECLUSE. Comparatively Few Russians Have Seen the Red Leader. Georg Popoft, in the Vienna Neue Frele Presse. Lenin has ruled Russia for five years; yet comparatively few Rus- sians have seen him personally. It was easler in the old days to watch the czar taking the air in the park of Tsarskoe Selo than it has been for the past five years to catch & glimpse of Lenin's face at the Kremlin and at Gorki, his summer home near Moscow, where he, his wife, and his only daughter live a modest, almost peasant-like family life. A bodyguard of trusted communists ‘watches over him day and night. On public occaslons the glowering, search- ing glance of the commander of this guard hovers incessantly over his en- tourage. At the time of his last public appear- ance that stern shadow stood beside him. When he concluded his address, and a violent tumult of applause shook the hall, a group of loyal friends quick- Iy encircled him, and no stranger or s pected person could approach. He was hastily spirited away through a dark passage and down a narrow stairway to the motor or that bore him off at a furious pace to the security of his suburban retreat.
