I At present, in the same huge shed in which the Los Angeles wan born, • skilled mechanicians are busy erect ing the new airliner’s gigantic frame * work. The airship will be 235 meters (771 ■ feet long) 80.5 meters (100 feet) in I diameter and will contain 105,000 cubic meters (8,780.000 cubic feet) of hydrogen gas. The Los Angeles is I only 70,000 cubic meters (2.500,000 cubic feet) big. In its proportions, . however, the new ship will be built ■ along Pncier lines than the Los An geles—longer and more slender. The big passenger car in front is being divided into twenty double-bed cabins and a big salon and dining room. The cabins will be as con venient as the deluxe cabins in the trans-continental trains, with running hot and cold water, etc. The ealon and dining room, paneled in wood, will i be fitted out with big club chairs and broad windows, through which the passengers can view the panorama for miles around. An electric kitchen will prepare the meals. ( In the evening, after dinner, the , dining tables will disappear and the [ center of the floor will be cleared for daclng. American or European ja*z , furnished by the best bands in the j world —by radio. , The airship’s fuel will be without , weight. It will be gas—etano-gas. , which is a carbohydrate of (he same , specific weight as air, and cheaper than gasoline. It can be manufac- ; rured everywhere*. i The fuel gas will be stored in the i body of the ship itself. The lower 1 one-third of the 1G gas cells will be filled with etanoga9, the upper two thirds with hydrogen. The liner will have six Maybach ( motors of 2,400 horsepower each. These are the same motors that ( i drive the Los Angeles. Its speed , will be approximately ninety miles ' an hour. The fare from Sevilla to Buenos j Aires is figured at G.OOO pesetas (sl.- ] 051) which is approximately the price ; for a steamer cabin. ! \ King Albert Greets Rotarians.

It is about 150 feet wide and is from 35 to do feet high. It lies conspieu i oitsly in the low grounds of a small . creek. 1 * , Charles McSwain, nows editor of The Stanly News-Herald, then got in touch with I)r. Collier Cobb, and j asked him to come over to this county and examine the mound, which in vitation I)r. Cobb accepted. Dr. Cobb will return next week for further in vestigations. The mound in question will soon be covered with water, and should Dr. Co’.vj fail to dig into it before it is 1 covered, he will have little trouble in finding others, state citir.es of Nor wood. who find that there are many other mounds similar to this one in the Southern part of Stanly. The former owner of the mound, who sold the property to the Caro ! linn Light and Power Company, says his father cultivated it, plowing -round and round until the top was j reached, and back on the other side of the one row until the bottom was I reached. At one time an attempt was | made to dig rock from the mound to j build a chimney. j AT THE BAPTIST ASSEMBLY GROUNDS Education Board Meeting Will Be Held at Ridgecrest in July. | At the annua) meeting of the cduca ■ tion board of the Southern Baptist [convention which will be held at the assembly grounds at Ridgecrest, N.

June 5. —With Dr. Elbert Russell, of the school of religion, de livering the baccalaureate address, Duke university’s 71st commencement exercises got under way this evening, giving every indication of unprece dented interest and success. Craven Memorial hall, the secene of many commencement exercises in the past, was never more filled, and the speaker was heard by hundreds of others on the outside by means of amplifiers extended to the Woodland and to the Y. M. C. A. hall. Exercises this year center around 225 young men and women who are to be conferred with bachelor of .-arts, master of arts, master of education, and bachelor of divinity degress, by far the largest class in the institu tion's history. “Something better than justice,” was the subject of the address this evening, which, he explained was the living by the principle of free-giving and the consoquental rise to some thing better than justice. “Life would be extremely poor and meager if we got nothing but justice, if we received nothing but what we have earned or paid for. The world needs something better than justice. Slowly even by our courts and legisla tures we are becoming to realize the impossibility of making the guilty suffer and leaving the innocent un touched by it. “This will be a better wold when organized society gives up the idea of justice as attained through pun ishments, and devotes all its energies in dealing with wrong doers to the effort to reform them and restore them to their place in natural life." Unselfish lives of ministers, doctors, teachers and nurses meant that they gave freely of their services, render ing more than justice to those they served, he declared.

Convention. f. (By International News Service.) ! > Morehead City, X. ('., June 6. —' Just a few weeks before the aroma 1 jlof bright leaf tobacco in the process j ,of curing fills the sultry Summer air. j and North Carolina gore about its ; annua! job of producing its big por- j ' tion of the world's "yellow gold”. Only a little while before the scores of important tobacco mans ‘ turn the towns and villages of the [ ■ State into beehives of industry, and | , the monotonous drone of the auc , tioneer sounds above the mu ti i tudinous noise of the monster weed ; warehouses. i North Carolina, the biggest tobae . co producing area in the world, will be the host for three dajns to the . fading tobacconists of the United ( States, whereever tobacco is grown land manufactured. | i The occasion will be the annual 1 meeting here of the Tobacco Associa tion of the United States on Juno | 22-25. For three days problems now i eonfronting the industry in all parts 1 1 of the country will be threshed out j ' by group discussions and talks by j ; expert tobacco growers and maim- j lecturers. x Elaborate traveling facilities have ' been arranged for the hundred* of ' t( bacco men who will attend tin 1 convention. Through the efforts ot ! Senator F. M. Simmons (IX), of North Carolina, the Const Guard Cutter Panip ieo has been obtained to transport delegates to the conven tion. . The major item that will confront the hundreds of tobacco grower* will be the marketing of the 1927 crop. Conditions in foreign countries also will take up a considerable portion of the grower*? titne, and situations peculiar to varioui ' tobacco belts. Indications are that the forthcom ing meeting will be one of the most largely attended conventions the as sociation has ever held, according to local officials of the organization. For the first time in a number of years, the association has chosen n convention city very close to the center of the bright leaf producing belt of North Carolina. Growers from the tobacco produc ing sections of the Carolina* and Virginia will make up the largest delegations, although .scores are also expected from Kentucky, Georgia and other tobacco-growing states. On account of the nearness of the con vention, hundreds are expected from Eastern North .Carolina alone. Officers of the association have distributed literature to tobacco l growers all over the nation describ ing in detail how to reach this coastal resort, and' the various at tractions here. Because of the reported menace of an over-production this fall, harvest prospects are expected to come:ln for lively discussion at the convention. Following a big production last year, it was claimed, the inevitable inclination was to increase the crop this spring. This inclination, it was said, was strengthened by the slump i in the price of cotton. j But while there will be heavy • sessions at which pvice prospects { and other things will come in for j discussion, the entertainment feature 's by no means overlooked on the program. A series of luncheons, card parties and luncheons have been arranged for the visiting delegates and their families and friends. A unique department this year will be an old-fashioned fox hunt. Fifty dogs will be brought here for the occasion. The chase will be staged in the wooded country behind Core or Bogue sound. The program has not been com pleted yet. but. in addition to various obacco experts in the Carolina* and Virginia, Senator Simmons, of North (’aro ma, and Governor Angus \V. McLean of North Carolina are scheduled to deliver addresses. J. W. Yates, president of the Murchison National Bank of Wilmington; B. D. Hill, of the IT. S. Department of Agriculture, and John R- Hutchison, head of the Extension Department of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, will also speak. OFFCERS ARE ELECTED BY BARACA-PHILATHEA C. W.
