This hangar will be the largest in the world, big enough to hold two trans-At- lantic liners the size of the Leviathan. Plans for it originally were drafted when the navy department contracted for -the R-38, a dirigible one-third larger than the R-34 which flew to the United States trom England last year. According to revised spectAcations, theé bangar will be 1,000 feet long, 318 feet wide and 200 feet fzet high. When com- pleted, Which probably will bs next spring, the big “air gafage” and its aux- Diary power house, machine shops and pficers’ quarters will cost about $3,677,- %00, it was staiea. The hangar will have eléctricaRy op- frated double doors, 177 by 136 feet eaéh Which when opéned wide will with the GARAGE FOR DIRIGILES width of the structure constitute a wind- break of nearly 600 feet. Satisfactory progress has been real- ized to dafe in the hangar's construc: tion, it was stated. The site has been cleared of pine and scrub oak stumps by two marife corps tractors, designed for hauling f7-ineh guns through Flan- ders mud but now operated as stump pullers. The foundation and bases for the steél arches of the roof have been laid and several archés mounted. Abdut 400 enlisted men and civilians are employed on the work, which is be- ing performed under the civil engineers corps of the navy.

New York's Greatest Show Hits Just Released FOR YOUR VICTROLA “A YOUNG MAN’S FANCY”—Fox-trot From the Musical Comedy “What's In a Name 7”- “LOVE NESTS”—Medley Fox-trot From the Musical Comedy “Mary” ALL THE Om LATEST HITS ON SALE Peanuts: Imports of more than $40,000,000 worth of peanuts and penut oil in a sin- gle year is a neéw record for the United States, one of the world's biggest pro- ducers of pearuts. This phenomienal record, says a statement by The Na- tional ‘City Bank of New York grows oul of the new world demand for food oils to take the place of ahifal fats. For several yeats, continies the bank's stite- ment, we have been importing la quantities of eertain food oils, especially thése prodiiced from the cocoanut, of which the quantity imported has grown from 58,000,000 pounds in 1914 to 356,- 000,000 in 1918, while the value of all vegetable oils imported jumped from $24,000,000 in 1914 to $123,000,000 in 1919, and approximately §140,000,000 in 1920. But it was left to the humble peanut to show a spurt in the face for popular- ity in supplyihg vegetable fats in the fis- cal year 1920, and the quantity of pea- nut 6il imported into this great peanut producing country of ours was, in thé 10 months endifig tith April 1920, 19,- 000,000 gallons against less than 8,000,- 000 in the corresponding months of last vear, and less than 1,000,000 in the yéaf preceding the war. Not ofily was there an enorfhotis ineréase in the guiantity of oil imported, but there Was also a cof- responding increase in the Iimpqrtation of pednuts ,of which the imports in the 10 months ending with April 1920 were valued .at $10,000,000, against less than $§1,000,000 in, the same months of 1919, In the single month of April the latest for which details afe available, the imports of peanuts_aggregated 30,000,000 pounds; valued at $8,000,000 and those of the oil 2,800,000 galléns, valted at $4,278,000, most of the nuts and oil ebmifig from Japan dnd in lesser quantities from China.
