WALES AND GEORGE TAKEAIR WITH R-101 Two Princes Search Sky in Planes for Giant Dirigible and Tour With It. My the Associftod Press. | LONDON, October 15.—The Prince of | wales and his brother, Prince George, | {esterdly it became known today, went | lanes appropriated for their use th mest the diginte R-101 making its trial voyage. The British heir was in a Gypsy Moth piloted by E. Fielden, while Prince George was In his eldér brother's old Blue Moth, plloted by Squadron Leader Don. Both took off shortly after noon from | Sunningdale, Berkshire, and toured the | home counties in S{ll’ch of the dirigible. | They finally found it and after circling it and viewing it from the air, returned to Northolt, Middlesex. Few if any of the 52 erew of the dirigible real most important young men in England were included among the passengers of planes escorting the giant ship. R-101 Covers 300 Miles. Taking advantage of perfect flying |* weather, the much-criticised British dmgible slipped away from her mooring mast at Cardington yesterday and made & 300-mile trial flight over southeastern England. She cruised over London, giving Lon- doners a chance to see thé est air- ship in the world, which cost England $5,000,000 to build. Maj. G. H. Scott, British aerongutic expert who cammanded the R-101, %aid that the flight had been ‘“very satis- factory.” “The whole handling of this big air- ship proved much easier than we jped,” he said. “The noise of the engines was very slight in the passenger cars. It was very comfortable indeed, We passed over Buckingham Palace, ‘Westminster, then over the city and straight back home. The ship handled very weel and answered her controls with the greatest ease. We went easy at first and worked up to something over 50 miles an hour. We will have the speed trials later.” Averages 55 Miles Per Hour. The airship made an average speed of 55 miles an hour, covering the 300 miles in 5 hours and 34 minutes. Ex- perts had disputed about the speed of ‘which she is capable, most of them maintaining that the best she can do is much less than the 85 miles an hour ‘which she was designed to do. One novel feature of the cruise was a parachute drill, corresponding roughly to lifeboat drill aboard an ocean liner. '!rhtl was held at an altitude of 2,000 feet. ‘The drill, which was for the purpose of acquainting passengers and crew with their aerial life stations, followed the meedure of ll!ebolt drill. Parachutes distributed in varions ngers and zed two of the gon prodt the unpleasant fact that for 52 persons aboard there were only 50 parachutes. R-101 Is Ready for Trials, After the R-101 had completed her trial flight it was announced that the other giant dirigible R-100 now was finished and ready for trials. She is expected to leave Howden Hangar next ‘week, proceeding direct to Cardington. ‘There is no mooring mast at Howden. Maj. Scott said, after the R-101 had been safely moored, that it ht be necessary to carry out some slight ad- justments in her. It is probable that another test flight will be made on Wodnud -lrshlpx commander announced G 58 ‘miles an hots with 3 engines o of les an ur les on her flight today. RUG DEPICTS $1 BILL.

From childhood until he was 21 years old he was so disabled by a form of paralysis that he could not walk. As a pastime, he learned to play the violin, and as he grew in proficiency filed with the board of survey an ac- [he began automatically to keep time to count of the advantages to be derived | from realization of the projected wa-| terway.
