By the Associated Press. | CHICAGO, December 3.—A group of agricultural experts has come to the | | conclusion that the long dry spells, the | | cold Winters and hot Summers, which | some members of the older generation frequently talk about, were no drier, | colder or hotter than similar seasons today In fact, they found that the drought of 1930-31 was the worst in a number of decades, and that the weather in general, despite annual fluctuations, has not changed materially in North | America in the past 1,200 years. The conclusion was reached at a meetirig of the reclamation section of the American Soclety of Agricultural Engineers, following a discussion of th> subject, “Is Our Climate Changing?” Charles H. Lee, a consulting hydraulic engineer of San Francisco, said this question_frequently was heard on the Pacific Coast. < BANNER ASSORTMENT High-Grade Hinged Cover Boxes of Novelty Bordered STATIONERY Vellum, Ripple and Linen Finishes Regular $1.00 Value Now 0 s’ Fancy Backs Bridge Size 2 Packs to Box _ Regular $1 Value \(\50c A Box \‘ K3 o o30} % 3 4 B3 S ool L o 20 030 o30 ode o a "e% %" 22 oo ogeadsde: O XD K3 & oo > Phone NAtional 1974 00 o " URGH'’S 7th, 8th and E Sts.—NAtional 9800 No Connection With Any Other Washington Store Regularly $12.50 Ideal Sewi Cabinet The woman who sews a lot would love one of these handy cabinets!

NEW YORK, December 3. The| Akron may be the world's largest dirigi- ble, but to its designer it's just an aerial midget compared to the s.z» of an air- chip he has found can be built with the utmost,_safety on Mhe same principle. Dr. Karl Arnstein, vice president and chief engineer of the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation, under whose direction the | Akron was constructed, revealed before he sailed for Germany today that his studies show a ship three times as large could be constructed without any sac- rifice of efficiency. “In fact,” he said, “the bigger they are the better they fly.” Plans Ocean Service. Dr. Arnstein, who designed more than 70 of Germany's war-time Zeppelins | before joining the American company, | explained that during his trip_abroad | he will confer with Dr. Hugo Eckener | about the long-contemplated plans for a regular transatlantic and transpacific airship service He said that although studies have shown that dirigibles can be built larger he does not believe that the im- mediate future vill require a type of ship for passenger service larger than 10,000,000 cubic feet. The Akron's size is about 6,500,000 | cubic feet While in Germany, he said, he will watch progress on the German Zeppe- lin Co’s newest airship, the Lz-129, which will be even larger than the Akron. It was designed as a transat- lantic air liner. Opening Due Within Year. While Dr. Arnstein declined to dis- cuss any plans the Goodyear Co. may have for construction of a glant com- mercial passenger ship he admitted | that such a dirigible will eventually be built_here. “With the development of & standard type of large dirizible with a capacity of 80 to 100 passengers, we should be le to opera ect, of these ships at ean liner ra Dr. Armnstein said he expected that | transatlantic airship service will be be- gun between tne United States and Europe during the next year. He said that for transpacific service routes between Los Angeles or San Francisco and Hawail have been studied as a preliminary step. Scottish Stag Season (;ood. Stag hunters in Scotland report that this season has been one of the pest there in many years. The deer have been in exceptionally good condition, many weighing more than 250 pounds.
