SUCH IS LIFE? Why He Turned the Sign By Charles Sughroe No Passenger Lost by Rigid Air Lines All Landed Safely Even in Zeppelin's Early Days. Washington. ? Since Count Zeppelin began to carry passengers In crude small craft, around the turn of the century, no single passenger has been lost In commercial airship service and about 800.000 have been carried, In cluding those on short sight-seeing bops here and abroad. An airship, the Graf Zeppelin, has circled the wqjld in 21 days and another, the Norge, crossed the North pole. On the debit side of the ledger stand the spectacular losses of huge military and experimental ships. The British started on an ambitious airship construction program of their own. The ZR-2, which had been pur chased by the United States, fell into the Humber river, Just as it was about to be delivered in August, 1921, caus SPORTS DRESS It Is safe to say that sporting events ?re Increasing in popularity among smartly garbed young ladies. This young lady is shown wearing a sports <lre9s of battleship gray with a light gray diagonal plaid. The blouse fea tures a shirred back with the collar forming an ascot in front. !ng the death of 34 persons. The R-34, which had electrified the world by her crossing of the North Atlantic in July, 1919, ander command of Major G. H. Scott in 63 hours, to blaze that trail for lighter-than-alr craft, was blown to pieces in a gale while moored at her mast at Howden, in January, of that year. Fortunately, no one was on board. The R-100, first of two proud 5,000, 000 cubic foot ships to fly for England, made the North Atlantic round trip in 1930, crossing to Canada and return. In October of that year her sister ship, R-101, crashed into a hill at Heauvais, France, when on a demonstration flight to India and 46 British officers and men, including; some of the aviation leaders of the empire, were killed. Crashed Into Hill. In December, 1923, the French suf fered the loss of 52 lives in the crash of the Dixmude off the Sicilian coast while she was on her way to Africa. The Italia, carrying General Umberto Noblle and fellow-explorers, fell during a flight to the North pole in May, 1928, and eight persons were killed. . In the United States the record of losses has been even greater. The Ro ma, built in Italy but assembled in this country and under test for the United States army, dived out of control when a rudder cable broke at an altitude of 1,000 feet, fell into high-tension wires and 34 lives were lost in the resultant fire. In September, 1925, the ZR-1, the Shenandoah, in commission for the navy, broke in two during a squall near Caldwell, Ohio, and 14 were killed. Akron and Macon. The Akron, first of the two 6,500,000 cubic-foot airships built for the navy by the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation ah Akron, in the world's largest building, was christened August 8, 1931, and com missioned October 27. On April 4. 1933, caught in severe squalls off the New Jersey coast, she broke in the sea and was lost. There were only three survivors. Less than three weeks later her sis ter ship, the Macon, made her maiden flight, staying up 12 hours and giving an excellent account of herself. But on February 12, 1935, she too was lost at sea, going down in the Pacific off the California coast. Fortunately, only two of her company were lost. On the favorable side of the account stand many fine flights by rigid air ships, however. Both the Akron and the Macon, while in commission, made long flights, crossing the continent and flying along the coast lines in all sorts of weather. Meantime, abroad, the Graf Zeppelin had begun the series of flights which has been chiefly responsible for the abiding faith which German experts and many American authorities hold In lighter-than-air craft.

WRECKING HEALTH By LEONARD A. BARRETT Many of our Ills are Imaginary. We have convinced ourselvea that we are the victims of a certain malady which a medical examination may show does not ex ist. The obligation of guarding oar health is something we owe not only to ourselves but to our friends and family also. An annual ex amination by the family physician will eliminate, in many cases, imagi nary ills. There is no bablt more menacing to health than worry. It Is like sand Id cog wheels ? It goon stops the machinery. Most of our worries are Imaginary. The thing we worry over may never happen. If It does occur, the strain upon our nerves due to worry will make us that much less efficient In solving the problem when It does arise. The elevation ahead of us appears very steep as we motor across country, but we are up and over the hill before we know It. From a distance the hill ap pears very steep, but as we approach it, It seems to disappear. So with many of our problems when we brave SHE HAS AN ODD JOB Margery Locke of England is shown leaving London en route to Belgrade, where flie has the peculiar job of ad vising little King Peter of Jugoslavia in his choice of movie pictures.

This Is the very worst thing to do. There is no easier, no more certain way of wrecking one's nervous and mental health. "Sleep is nature's balm restorer." It should bring com plete relaxation to fagged nerves. A lorced absence of sleep i9 the forerun ner of a nervous breakdown. Will power to forget and relax is better than narcotics. Fatigue Is a poison and plays havoc with the psychic cen ters. No fatigued person is normal. Nervous overstrain is the cause of many wrecked lives. We should learn to relax and thus preserve our health. It Is reported that the officials of a large American corporation retire from their business responsibilities for a quarter of an hour immediately after the noon lunch. The time Is spent either In a short nap or In relaxation as complete as possible. Another habit contributory to the wrecking of our health is the disease, peculiarly American ? -Speed." We try 'to live 48 hours In 24. We burn the candle at both ends. A successful business man invited a young Chinese student to hit country home. By using **speedM they caught a train 15 minutes earlier than planned. The oriental student calmly inquired, "Now what will you do with the extra 15 minutes?" We might learn a lesson from this point. The body, mind, nerves and muscles is the instrument through which we must do our work. Why not devote more earnest consideration to the proper care of these bodies of ours? Why not give more consideration to the thoughts we think, the ideals we har bor. the food we sat, the relaxation we enjoy, that we might keep our bodies fit temples through which the very best that is in us may find adequate and complete expression. ?
