THE SUNDAY STAR., WASHINGTON, AVIA TION BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON. j 5 Postmaster General Walter Government money. Econo HOUGH the Watres airmail act has been in effect more than a | year, it has failed lamentably to bear out the contention of F. Brown that it would save the | my was advanced by Mr. Brown as one of his three strongest arguments in favor of the Watres act. Not only has the Watres meréased the Governmert's al of the official figures issuéd by the Post timated cost of the Watres act to the rowth of airmai year, should the 00,000. rate, 18 nearly $3, On May 3, 19 said: “It is believed by the Postm adjustment of mail pay to contr act, and which is based on a mill bill failed to save money, it actually has irmiil costs by $1,804,796.16, on fl:nrei basis he es- | Office Department. Government for its first full 1 poundage continue at its present 30, the Postmaster General, in an official statement, aster General that through the re- actors provided under the Watres eage and space basis instead of a poundage basis, a substantial saving in the transportation of airmail will result.” It has been the custom of the Post Office | Department to issue each month statis- tics covering the contract airmail serve doe. These figures show the actual number of pounds of mail carried each month and the amount paid by the QGovernment for the transportation of the mails. Simp!é arithmetic shows the cost per pound. What are these figures? Though the Watres bill went into effect April 29, 1930, it was not until October of tlat year that its results began to be noticeable, most of the old oontracts continuing in effect through the Bummier and into the Fall Until approximately November 1, 1030, the old airmail rates were in effect. No- vember and December were months of traneition. On January 1 the new rates under the Watres act became effc tive and for the first time the act was in full effect. Taking the 12 months ending with | October, 1930, we find that the cost to the Government for carrying & pound | of mail flictuated from month to month, ranging from a minimum of $1.62 to a maximum of $201. The ©osts per pound, month by month, were as follows: November, 1029, $1.94; De- oember, $2.01; January, 1030, 8$1.95; Pebruary, $1.07; March, $1.96; April, 81 May, $1.60; June, $1.67; July, $1.75; August, $1.62; September. $1.77, and October, $1.86. Airmail Costs Increase. The average cost per pound for the 12 months was $1.84, a figure which may he considered a fair average for the cost to the Government of flying airmail during the year preceding the ‘Watres bill. Omitting November and December, 1930, which was the period when the administration of the Watres act was swinging into its stride, we may con- sider the period beginning January 1, when the new rates becamé effective, in an effort to ascertain the average cost of flying the mail under the law which was advocated by the Post Office Department as means of saving money to the taxpayers figures: January, $2.11; ; March, $2.02 A"piu. i uly, August have not yet been made public.

As a part of her sea duty, he said, the Akron may undertake a flight to the Mawailan Islands, where an aire ing mast has been erected. ing range of the Akron is 56 eat, however, Admiral Moffett said, at she could make two round trips between the United States and Hawaii without landing. ‘While on the West Coast the Akron will have to bé kept in the open, tied up to a mooring mast when not actu- ally in flight. Construction of a giant B and airthip bDase has been be- gun at Sunnyvale, Calif, but this will not be completed for about 18 months, Admiral Moffett said. Akron thakes it safe to base the ship in the open for & period of several months, the naval air chief sald. The Sunny- vale the same time as the ZRS-5, successor o the Akron, now in course of fabri- cation in the Gocdyear Zeppelin dock at Akron, Ohio To Inerease Size. Efforts will be made, Admiral Moffett eaid, t0 have the size of the new ship increased from 6.500,000 cubic feet ca- ty, the sige of the Akrop, the 7.- 0,000 or 7,500,000 cubic feet. Th will require rewriting of the specifica- tions and will give the United States an airship beyond the scope of anything contemplated in the worid. QGermany, he sald, now is buildirg an airship which will slightly outclass the Akron in eapacity, but which would not nearly equal the size of the propossd ZRS-5. The Akron, unlike the U. 8. 5. Los Angeles and the German Graf Zepp lin, eould easily cross the Rocky Moun- tains without being forced to seek out low and tortuous gns.w through the ranges, Admiral Moffett said sredicting that airships of even greatsr size will in the near future be used for come fortable overseat passenger service. The initial flight of the Akron after her commissioning marked a high point in the career of Admiral Moffett. For he has fought against heavy odds for an air ship program for the Navy. It is due almost entirely to his efforts that the Akron was built and that the United Btates rapidly is assuming a lace of world leadership in the lighter- Pran-air field. s As he was telling of his hopes for the Akron, the great ship, with 108 persons sboard, was nearing Baltimore and as his interview was terminated, Fort Mc- Henry, relic of a type of warfare made obsolete by such achievements of sci- ence as the airship. appeared in the distant waters of Baltimore Harbor. Cireling over Baltimore, the Akron's nose was turned to the northward over more and more rolling country. Ac the SUfT breeze whipped the big 5y along two of her motors wer» «3ut off entire- and the cthec turottled down to keep gfl from getting too far ahead of edule. The wind, broken into churn- eddies by the hills below, kept the great craft pitching easily, though she rolled not at all. The note would drop slowly as the ship entered a down cur- | rent and would be checked and brought | back gently with the elevator controls, sctuated by one of two independent wheels in the control cabin. the control car, one elimbs a0 Aluminum ladder into the hull above, am corridor from at structural strength of the | hangar is to be completed about | which open the radio and aerological rooms, quarters for the captain and part of the officers and alto an office space and photographic laboratory. Living accommodations are concen- trated amidships. to either side of the airplane hangar, in which the airship’s complement of four or five fighting planes will be carried. On the port side is a promenade, about 70 feet long, with windows let into the side of the huil From this promenade onen seven state rooms, each having four bunks, for members of the crew. A wash room is at the end of the promenade. A catwalk, suspended in space above the floor of the airplane hangar, which |opens to permit planes to be dropped | or caught and lifted back into the ship, |leads across to the starboard, where | there are the generator room, galley, crew's mess, chief petty officers’ mess, officers’ mess and two four-bunk rooms for officers. No paing have been spared to save weight aboard the Akron, since every ounce of surplus cuts down by just that much the usefulness of the giant for military purposes. Furniture i§ of ex- | tremely light welded aluminum. Sturdy | stools of aluminum tubing, weighing but a few ounces each are used in the mess rooms. Officers and crew eat from pa- per plates and drink from paper cups. Knives and forks are light as feathers and paper spoons are used. Serving dishes are of a material like celluloid, indestructible and amazingly light. Flying Kitchen Described. ‘The cooking galley is ultra-modern, equipped with electric and propane gas stoves. and the meals put out are sec- ond to none in the Navy. For lunch on the initial flight the two cooks turned out roast pork with apple sauce, mashed otatoes, peas, bread and butter, coffee, ce cream and two kinds of cake. There was no limit to the amount each ma got except his own appetite. The serv. ing dishes were kept full as long as any man wanted to eat. During the after- noon sandwiches and hot coffee were available Elaborate arrangements are made for taking care of garbage until it can be dumped overboard as ballast, without becoming a nuisance below. On over- land cruises it is kept aboard custo- marily until the ship lands. Provisions are carried in conveniently arranged store rooms and cold storage-arrange- ments are to be added. Drinking water is carried in special tanks filled through an_independent piping system. By the time appetites had been ap- peased and the mess tables cleared the Akron had passed Philadelphia, after circling leisurely above the city, and headed for Trenton. A southerly course was followed across New Jersey and New York was aproached by way of Perth Amboy, Staten Island and the urper bay. The day was amazingly clear and while over New York cities as distant as Trenton could be seen. The Jersey mountains raised a low, dark rampart to the northwest and Long Island Sound and miles of dark Atlan- tic water were visible, After leisurely circling New York and its neighbor cities, the Akron turned off over Coney Island and headed directly out to sea. As the land dropped away astérn, all pitching of the airship ceased and she droned along mote steadily than a boat on calm water. Ambrose Light Ship passed below and further out a three-master under light sall In a stff wind stood off up the coast toward the Newfoundland banks The shore was & smudge astern and un- doubtedly was completely invisible from the four-master below. Slowly the nose was turned and the airship made land again near Asbury Park, heading inland toward home port at Lakehurst Naval Alr Station, amid the serub-pine wildeérness and cranberry bogs of the Jersey coastal country.

The sunset glow was fading out along the Western horizon when four of the eight propellers were swiveled down into horizontal position for landing and | the airship began to drive down cau- | tiously toward the fixed stub mast where she was to refuel. Inch by inch her skipper, Comdr. C. E. Rosendahl, | eased the great hulk downward out of | the sky. The nose cable was dropped. | caught below and passed through a cone on the peak of the mast. Slowly the nose of the airship was drawn into the cone and locked in place. The tail was dfawn down to a heavy car, riding lon a ecircular track and free to move | as the airship swung to changes in the breeze. The trial was over and a new page |in airship history had gone into the | record. | Oceans of Color. | It you would<store in your mind's eye a picture which will endure through the barren months ahead, you can do no better than to fly at once. while the | trees are flying the banners of coming | Winter. If you are blessed with a feel- ing for color you will find joy in the vivid colors of a single frost-painted | tree, but you will find real ecstasy in the oceans of color nature has spread | for_those who fly. From the ground your view is limited to a few trees at a time. One of them may be gorgeous and its neighbors only drab. 1In a forest your view of the foli- age also is restricted because the trees |shut off each other. In mountain | country you may get a broader sweep | of color. no limitations. Every tree for miles 1s revealed to its maximum possible ad- | vantage. The ultimate in autumnal gloty is yours for the looking. And when you fly over stretches of voodland the colors are spread so lav: | ishly as to startle the eye. Oceans of i color spend their red and golden break- | ers on the sober shores of gray and brown fields. Pools of pure gold and scarlet sparkle in the forests. | Every farm wood lot, every acre of | second-growth scrub, every marsh is a riot of color. Much of her Autumn tapestry nature hides from those who | plod the humdrum highways. All of it she has spread for those who cast | aside earthly fetters to climb into the | erisp November air. | And so you who thirst for color do not go about sipping a driblet of color here and another there, but go up where you can stoop to an ocean of color and at one draft enflood your very soul. Lieut. Matthias B. Gardner, U. 8.

Langley, the Javy | District Nat Praise for the work done by officers and men of the National Guard of the | District of Columbia in connection with | the recent community Halloween parade was the subject of a memorandum to the troops from Maj. Gen. Anton Ste- | | | phan, commander of the local militia Brigae. “The commanding general,” read the paper, “extends thanks to the officers | and enlisted men of the District of Co- Jumbia National Guard who by their | loyal co-operation assisted in organiz- ing the unusual parade held in connec- tion with Washington's Halloween cele- bration on the evening of October 31. The manner in which each officer and enlisted man handled his assignment and exercised initiative and judgment in caring for the various problems which arose on that evening was very gratify- ing and reflects credit on the officers and enlisted men concerned as well as on the National Guard as a whole.” Second Lieut,, Luther B. Hall, Com- pany C, 121st Engineers, has been or- dered to report to Col. John W. Oeh- mann, president of an officers’ examin- ing board, for the purpose of being ex- amined to determine his qualifications for promotion to the rank of first lieu- tenant of Engineers. Two organizations of the local Guard mustered at their drills last week with 100 per cent attendance and were placed in the classificatign of superior. An- other unit, however, was put on the | same group, but it mustered an even 90 | per cent, or just enough to get in the top classification. It was the State “stafl.

Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, November 7.—City So- licitor R. E. Lee Marshall has been asked for an opinion on the legality of the ordinance introduced this week in the City Council providing for a tax of one-half cent a gallon on all gasoline and other motor fuel sold in Baltimore. In a letter from H. M. Lucius, secre- tary of the Automobile Club of Balti- more,to the City Council, Mr. Lucius stated he had been informed the meas- ure would be invalid if passed. Mr. Lucius said he had been in- formed as to the illegality of the ordi- nance by Palmer R. Nickerson, attor- ney for the automobile club. Mr. Lucius wrote: “While the proposed ordinance seeks to place a tax on oil companies, it is, in its final analysis. a tax on the motorist. ‘The State fll’end{ has legislated on the subject, putting into effect the present 4-cent_gasoline tax.” ANSWER TO YESTERDAY'’S PUZZLE.
