SHENANDOABEST CONVEYANCE YET Dirigible's Hangar : Approxi- mates National Gapitol in $ize | ——— Washington, D. €, Oct. 28~Al-| ready Amgrica's best known vehicle is the Shenandoah, pays a bulletin of the Natlonal Geographic seclety trom its Washington, D. C. head-’ quarters. “Hundreds' of thousands have seen’ some of the country's ‘crack’ trains and glant ocean liners; liter- ally millfons have watched the sil- very Shenandoah steal stlentiyacross the 'sky,” says & communication to the soclety; “Incidentally, te Shenandoah and the ZR-3, are not, strictly speaking, dirigibles, They are technically called rigid airships. “The Stenandodh comprises many wonder storles of modern science. Its length, 680 feet, Is two-thirds that of the Leviathan, yet its weight ot only 37 tons is a tiny fraction of the Leviathan's 50,000 tons. Hangar Near Capitol's Size “To house it and a bigger sister ship, a hangar was built in a clear- ing of the New Jersey woods, which building is 201 feet longer than the U. S. capitol buflding, just two feet less than the capitols’ widest part, and more than two-thirds as wide. i The sliding doors at one end weigh 1,800 tons! ly overhead, it looks like a magni- fled cigar, wrapped fin tin fail, with six tiny baskets suspended from fit. Tnside the covering are 20 great gas bags, with a total gas capacity equal to the cublc contents of a train of 700 freight cars, These are inter- spersed with from 40 to 78 gasoline tanks and a complement of one-ton water tanks, “This equipment jis supported by a metal framework which is a verit- able maze of girders, struts, and beams; there are 3,000 struts alone in the intricate design. A “Magic Metal” Is Used “It is for this metal framework ! that duralumin is used—an altoy so light and strong that a girder 16 feet long can be balanced on one’s little finger, yet if the %tips are placed on brocks it will bear the load of eight men sitting upon it. “In one of its six cars is a photo- graphic laboratory, so that motion picture reels and photographs -may be developed on board and the pic- torial story of a fight be ready when the ship lands, or even throwm overboard by paracliutes at desig- nated places. Another car has soundproof radio compartment with a powerful sending apparatus and telegraphic instruments, An Astonishing Contrivance “The most astonishing mecnanical contrivance on the Shenandoah s the newly installed water-recovery apparatus, which replaces the gaso- | live burned with an equivalent weight of water, and thus saves the valving of precious helium. “You will recall, from your chem- istry courses, that gasoline consists of hydrogen and carbon. When gasoline is iurned, the carbon com- bines with some of the oxygen from jthe air to form carbon dioxide, and the hydrogen, with other oxygen, forms water. % Automobilists nofice in cold weather that thelr exhaust pipes steam. Ocgasionally the moisture | freezes and forms a frostlike ring on the vent. The apparatus for re- covering water on the Shenandoah consists of several tiers of long, light | pipes, exposed to the cooling air, so that the super-heated steam. con- denses and fills water tanks. This | manufactured water compensates for | the weight of the gasoline consumed. “Formerly, as fue), was burned, | the ship grew lighter and tended to rise. Thereupon the gas expanded, and it was necessary to release enough helium to equalize the lift of the gas to the weight of the ship, “Even though hellum cost has heen brought from a radiumiike | tuxury price of $81 for a thousand cubic feet, the amount the Shenan- {doah had to valve on long trips ‘was | an expensive operating ftem. On its | St. Louls visit, for example, 200,000 cuble feet of hellum had to be| valved, The water-recovery device means a saving on.one such trip of $16.200—enough to pay for the ex- perimentation and Installation of the mechanism.” Reicds { TREMBLING LAD.

FRANK CRAN Recently, at Wembley, the splendors of the Empire Pageant were dimmed for many by the sight of a row of stretchers placed on the plat- form of honor in the Sfadium, supporting over thirty, men broken in the Empire's War. They were incurable patients from St. David's Home, Faling, and had been asked to see the pageant by the generosity of Sir Willlam Furse, The cripples and wrecks of humanity that remafir with us are pitiful remjnders of the stupidity of mankind in settling its international quarrels by war, ~ The war's front may be splendid enough with the beating of drums. the blare of trumpets and the march of troops But after war, tin spectacle of the nrm\rd, the bruised and brokén, lcads to the gonclusion that there is nothfng more terrible than a defeat except a victory. 1t s difficult to see the gooll that has come out of the late war, with Germany bankrupt, France in a bad way, and England struggling with her high taxes and unemployment. If the people had besn cousulted, in stead of the foew Jeaders, there would have been no war. 1t is the people who pay and the spectacle at Wembley was a striking {llustration of the terms of their paymant. Death, disease and poverty are widespread and yemalin to afflict the generations which follow the warriors, In time {he common sensé of the human race will dovise some other method of sattling their disputes. Most people wanf to go on and lead their liyes reasonably and thus ambition is interrupted by the ambition of the féw rulers who are !\l‘lh"‘l to sacrifice 1he multitude for their own advantage. 11 we coyld always keey héfore us the picture of those who are broken and wounded by the wary thére would never be amother one._ Copyright, 1324, by [he McClure Newspaper Syndicats..
