. — SHFETY NEASURES FOR BIG AIRSHP Every Precantion at Lakeburst Against Explosion By The Assoclated Press. Zeppelin Hangar, Navdl Alr Sta- tion, Lakehurst, N, J, Oct. 14— Drastic safeguards agalnst possible inflammation and' explosion of the hydrogen Inflated ZR-3 went into force at this station today, at or- ders of Acting Commander M. R, Plerce, From now until the giant dirigi- ble arrives and can be emptied of the tracherous gas which bore her here, every lesson taught by the tragle fates of her predecessors, the R-38 the Roma and the Dikmude will'be kept In mind by evdrggman on Lakehurst fleld, Later, when the ZR-3's 2,500,000 cublc feet of hydrogen can be ex- hausted safely into the air and the capaclous chambers between her ribs sefilled with non-explosive helium such as floats the Shenandoah, the safety precautions will remain rig- i in force. se only air lock doors for com- munication between sifops and han- gar ' floor,” sald the placard of or- ders Acting Commander Pierce dis- tributed among his personnel and posted throughout the field. | “No smoking by anybody on land- 4 ing field while ZR-3 is on the field. No smoking any place in hangar, shops, or offices opening directly in- | to hangar. { “No automobiles nor airplanes lo‘ enter hangar. Aircralt engines not to be run in hangar until satisfac- tory ventilation has been provided. “I"laghlights not to he used in hangar, Gas tight miners’ " lamps will be permitted. “No one will go aloft except when wearing rubber shocs. Men going aloft are cantioned of danger of sparks from tools." The acting commander of the field, npon whom will rest responsi- bility for the safety of the ZR-3 and her crew from the time she lands, ordered further there be put out of commission at once: “The radio compass house, over- hcad crancs, all inside hangar mo- tors, cleyator huzzers and lights, floor light clreults, starting equip- ment for Lielium deflation motor, ra- dio compass eleetric leads, gasoline tank lights." Even the fire warden's telephone wag ordered out of commission as & | wafeguard against sparks, friction or clectrie, that might penetrate the flimsy covering of the drigible and sot off the devastating force of her hydrogen content. YAST ’GQ’AL_DMSITS Report is Made of Valuable Veins That Have Been Found in Alaska Within Arctic Circle. », Wash, Oct. 14.—Discov- ry osits of coal within the Arctie Circle in Alaska was re- ported by Dr. Philip S. Smith of Washington, Tn. C., geologist of the United States Geological survey, who cturned here yesterday. “The foothills and great val ivst north of the ndicott Range, which forms the divide between the | Yukon river and the Arctic ocean, contain some of the greatest bodies | 4f coal on the continent,” said Dr. Smith, "It is further proof that | Alaska in past ages, had a temper- ate, if not a sub-tropical climate. At nt there is no vegetation in t region suitable for forming coal." | The country surveyed is included | in the United States Navy Petroleum | Reserve, No. 4, which embraces a territory about the size 8f New York state.

Before he was hustied off to the quarantine station here, a lonely two-room structure on the river bank. Centilever, who did not ex- plain why he put police headquar- ters on his visiting list, said the in- mates at Carrville had chipped in to pay his expenses. He had stop- ped off at a number of cities on his way up, he said, but refused to name them or tell how he escaped.

The stolen car was Ioundl \bandoned two miles further along; the road. The two white boys told | the officer that the negro who had | fled was Young and that he had| given them a ride in the car before abandoning it on the pretension that the gasoline supply was exhausted. | The search for Young is being con-! tinued.

Johnston, president of the Interna-| tional Association of Machipists, was quoted ‘in a statement issued today by the La Follette-Wheeler cam- | paign headquarters as demanding, {he “Immediate removal of Charles| Evans Hughes from his post as sec- retary of state and investigation of his conneetion with an Austro-ltal- | jan shipping concern.”” Mr. John- ston was represented in the state- ment as declaring that “Hughes put through a deal for the . concern which crippled our merchant fleet, was Illegal and irregular, and cost taxpayers thousands of dollars.” The etatement referred to matters brought up at hearings of the house shipping board committee. There are no records to show that any human beings have been buried | alive in the United States in the Jast | 10 years. Goes Loco a house, thié 210-ton railroad of trespassing.

A dark object reflects but littfe of the light that falls upon it—perhaps less than ene-fourth; a light colored object reflects a large part of the light— | perhaps three-quarters. If we are to see objects, the light must fall upon them and be re- flected from them. The more darkly they are colored, the more light is needed to enable us to see them. The light that falls on ob- jects which we wish to see may be termed useful light. Most electric Jamp bulbs when used without =hnges or reflectors throw out light in all directions—just as much to the ceiling and walls of a Toom as down to the table top. Well de- signed shades are made so that they not only soften the light, but also reflect some light that would otherwise be wasted and direct it downward and outward to the ob- jects that we wish to see, GLOOM Proper lighting requires two things: First, that there be enough light so that the eye can see quick- ly and easily; and second, that this light be shaded and so placed jn the room that the eye is not strained by glare. Many homes have soft, shaded light that is too dim for good vision; others ha\:e enough light but harmful glare is a part of it; too few homes have plenty of light without glare, which 18 necessary for proper lighting and the protection of eyesight. The eye is truly a wonderful or- gan. Because it does mot always immediately complain, we often make it work uhder great difficulty, and strain it. Have you ever stopped reading because of a feeling of discom- fort? You have a headache with- out any reason for it that you can think of, or yous eyes feel tired, or you find that you canmot fix your attention on your book or paper. You may find later that these are signs you were straining your eyes. We can see under a dim light, LESSON NO.2 THE PROPER USE OF LIGHT HOW WE SEE | our eyes until lhc.:y cannot do their work without help. DECORATE WITH LIGHT Up to this point we have | thought of lighting only as it helps | us to see easily—in other words, as it is useful. Of coprse, this is very important in every room in the home, and everywhere else. | But when we light our home, we want the lighting to make each room pleasant and attractive, and our lighting, except for the work | rooms (the kitchen, the, laundry, the basement and attic), should be as much of a decoration or orna- ment as the pictures and rugs and curtains. Lighting equipment may be or- namental and decorative, and at the same time it can pe made in such a way that it will gmperly light the room. Much of the light- ing equipment in use today can be greatly improved by using shades that are longer, so that the bulb is completely hidden from the eye and denser, so that mo extremely bright spot appears in the center of | them, { A FEW CAUTIONS Here are a few cautions that will help you protect your eyes: Don't judge the amount of light in a room by the brightness of the | bare, unshaded bulbs. That is the indication of glare. Don’t expose your eyes to un- shaded lights. That may cause eye- strain. Don't read while facing a bright light or a sunny window. - Have | the light come from beside you or over your shoulder. Don't use bright lights against a dark background. Don't try to read in a dim light that tires your eyes. Don’t let your lighting equip- ment get dirty. Clean it regularly. Dust and dirt may cause you to lose as much as one-half or even three-fifths of the light that the bulbs produce and that you are | paying for. but we can see more easily and more quickly if we have mere light. When we live day after day with too little light, we are likely to find that our eyesight is affected, * and that we may need rlasses Then we know we have strained | Don't depend on taking out light |bulbs to connect appliances and | portable lamps. Have convenience | outlets put in for this purpose. Don’t be indiffgrent to the pres- | ervation of your tyesight. Housewives and Mothers!
