AIRSHIPS ..... practical
1 got up at ttve .o'elock on the mom
ing od! May 9 to soe tho great airship
?'lliudcuburg" come in. Like a huge
silver tish, silhouetted against the
pale, ssinking m >on and piukly iniadi
ated by tho tirst gloaius of idle rising
.sun, tt was a spectacle to give anyone
a thrill, air ii. circled Ike great tow -
ers of Manhattan before heading lor
its port.at Lakehurst, New Jersey.
Sixty-two horns from Germany ;o
New York with more than 00 passen
gers and beversrl tons of freight, was
the Himk-uberg's record on ity first
crossing of the Northern Atlantic^ Its
.-.mailer sister, ahe l< Graf Ze|irpoiiii'r.
Has been making regular round Iri^s
between Germany and South America
i or seven years. I hope the establish
ment of regular North American air
ervice will result in a revival in
:his country of interest in lighter
lhau air craft. Only 1?7 modern dir
giblos have ever been built and noi
me of them in commercial service has
?vor eraohed or injured si passenger.
PIONEER . . . of the air
I saw tlie very iirst ]>nbli<; flight
ri n dirigible ever made in America.
I'h'ST wiW' on July 4, 15)04, when Hoy
i\nabensltue piloted Capt. Tom 15ald
?.ill's '* California Arrow" in a race
Kxcopt for .short llights in France by
?vuiots Duuiont and <ihe Lehaudy
brother*, nobody had ever succeeded
?u -.jtefcring ?r propelling ti balloon, it
w as four v'Yirs later, in 1008, before
the lirst airplane flew in public.
|?V,w people remember that the Unit
id Slater Governmeivi was the first, iu
hay a dirigible, v.irt-hip for military
a so. That was in 1905. After the War
iv?? got a eon pie of zep|>elins from
"rrntony, and .me ot irhem, the "IjO.i
Angeles", is still-.in the n.ivwl service.
Tho two bi<? ones that we built, the
'Akron" and (the "Macon" both
r-rashed, and those two accidents gave
i s(!;hack to ttho development of air
lovigalton in this oonntry.
I don't see "any reason why we
in'l buiM ^<ml navigate .-ir-hips as
vol! :i& the German*.
RAILROADS . . . travel boosi
Ifc-gimiiiiK June' 'J the railroads" in

Tho r.ulrtxid.i have accepted the
cw order from Washington under
?rolc*ili.f but I have au idea tHat \
s not tfoiug to bo as unprofitable ail
Juy f?.?ir. There are mow people who
vould like to travel and don ft. own

Out of jdl the tolk and efforts at
A'jkshinfrton to fireside low-cost hous

morning in Senator Wafer's hotis

ieiVi. now is for better homes for
less money.
Perhaps we will come some ilny to
