I TOTHEFRENCH
Last of German Dirigibles is
Delivered to the French
Government.
also the latest of the German Zeppelins
"Washington, Sept. 6. The last and
the "Nordstern," formerly the LZ-121,
has been turned over to the French
Government for commercial purposes
Reporting to the National Advisory Com
mittee for Aeronautics here. J. J. Ide,
technical assistant in Europe, states
,that this great airship, which is under
the control of the Service de Naviga
tion Aerienne, and not the French Navy
as are the other Frnech airships, will
be employed in the Marseilles-Algiers
Service.
According to the treaty, Germany was
ordered to turn over her two latest
commercial Zeppelins, the "Bodensee"
and the "Nordstern" to Italy and France
respectively, as well as to surrender her
military aircraft and now this has been
done.
Unlike her sitter ship the "Boden
see", which was flown many times since
the Armistice, the "Nordstern" has
never been permitted to leave her han
ger at Fredrichshafen until her recent
trip of 350 miles to St. Cyr, which re
quired nine hours. After a long wait,
lacking in progress messages. Mr. Ide
writes, that the "Nordstern" came over
flying field at an altitude of 500
feet, but - as she slackened speed, she
rose to about 1500 feet, and was forced
to describe a large circle before she
could descend due to a puffy wind. Fin
ally after a struggle, which carried some
fifteen feet aloft,
she was moored, and Captains Leroy and
Paquignon and Adjutant aiaisonneuve
of the French Army, who had flown as
observers, alighted- The Nordstern was
then turned and "walked" into the shed,
which maneuver was well carried out
although the shed was little wider
than the ship, Mr. Ide states. As soon
as he great airship was housed, the
German crew disembarked and the
French under Secretary of State for
Air. Mr. Laurent Eynac and his party
went aboard for a touring of inspec
tion. Although not as long by 269 feet as
the dirigible ZR-2 recently wrecked dur
ing a trial flight the Nordstern is gigan
tic air liner, measuring 425 feet in length
and 61 feet in diameter. Her useful
load is 25,300 pounds, nearly one half
total load, and she carries 45 passengers
and crew. She is propelled at a speed
of about 50 miles per hour by four
Maybach engines; two operating a sin
gle propeller in the rear car, and one
in each wing car. The passenger cabin,
which is slung well forward and amid
ships, mr. Ide reports, is composed
of five bays each containing six arm
chairs facing forward and aft- Over
each seat there is a luggage rack and
light movable tables can be placed be
tween separate seats. Forward of the
cabin is the radio room, and in the nose,
the navagating room. There is a small
kitchen aft opposite the entrance to the
car.

A GOOD SOLID ENGINE
The Dort engine is simple, strong, smooth.
Dort economy is an established fact, known
to every one. Its bearings, throughout, are
nothing less than huge. Where there's a
strain there is more than enough material
to hold that strain. Its reciprocating parts
are balanced to a nicety to minimize vibra
tion. Everything that needs touching is
right within reach.

SCORES OF SHIPS
SWINGATANCHOR
In Every Port in World
Many Ships Are Idle,
Waiting Cargo.
New York, Sept. 5. Scores of fine
ships equipped for any kind of cargo,
are swinging impatiently at anchor,
like hunting dogs on leash in every
port of the world awaiting a return
of normal conditions in maritime busi
ness. Excessive war-time construction of
cargo carriers followed by a gradually
increasing depression in world's ship
ping business, has created a new prob
lem for port officers and steamship
owners. A few years ago keen com
petition was required to secure a load
ing or discharging berth.
Today, the competition is to secure
a safe and convenient place where
ships may be laid up at the least pos
sible overhead expense where they can
be ready for instant response to steam
and propeller when commerce again
calls.
In New Tork and vicinity the ta&K
of finding safe anchorage falls to Cap
tain Byron L. Reed, of the U. S. Coast
Guard Service, designated by the gov
ernment as port captain.
Yonkers has boen called upon t-
serve as resting places for idle ships.
In Jamaica Bay, a large semi-inland
body of water at the southerly end of
Long Island many more ships have
been accommodated. Up Long Island
sound as far as the Connecticut line,
every available bay having sufficient
depth of water has been called upon.
Companies having a number of ships
laid up endeavor to group them. They
are moored close together and one of
the vessels is designated as a "mother
ship." As a protection against fire,
steam is kept up and lines of hose are
laid from her pumps to each to the
other craft. On the mother ship a
crew of 10 or 12 is maintained with
a single watchman for the other ves
sels. It is not only American ships which
are laid up in United States harbors,
Captain Reed said, but many foreisn
craft are held here in idleness await
ing a resumption of business that will
afford paying cargoes. Among recent
applications for anchorage were re
quests for two Japanese ships.
It costs money to run ships, but
ship owners claim they face greater
proportionate loss with ships idle.
OLD DOBBIN HEADED
FOR THE MUSEUM
New York, Sept. 5. (United Press.)
"The horse will be virtually only a
subject for natuial history museum in
the United States withiri a decade," P.
W. Fenn, secretary of the national mo
tor truck committee, National Automo
mile Chamber of Commerce, declared to
day. "This animal, which has served man
kind for ages, is disappearing so rapid
ly as a result of his displacement by
motor machinery T:hat even now he is
almost a curiosity in the larger cities.
"The value of the horse has depre
ciated to Fvch an extent that thousands
of farmers are holding onto them mere
ly because they can't sell them, and
when those they own at present lose
their usefulness, they will be replaced
ty automobiles and tractors.
"Of course, the racehorse will remain
with us, but in numbers he is negligi
ble." Fenn said the forthcoming report of
the N. Y. board of health will show
there are approximately 10,614 less
horses and 1,784 fewer stables in New
York City today than in 1919.
"Other localities besides New York
report similar reduction? ..in the horse
population," he said. "Registered stal
lions in Wisconsin decreased from 2,
437 in 1918 to 1,(88 in 1920. Ohio had
965,000 horses in 1917 and only 862,000
in 1919. Cne hundred and sixty horses
were recently sold in Portland,, Oregon,
for Chicken feed.
"There were approximately 25,000,000
horses in our country two years ago.
If these could have been disoosed of,
tutt mobiles and motor trucks substi
tuted, the value of the wheat that could
have been raised on the land then re
quired to feed horses would have been
sufficient to pay our national debt, in
cluding the Liberty Bond issues to
date."
BRIGHT-HUED UMBREL
LAS VERY POPULAR
New York, Sept. 4. Bright hued um
brellas are twice as much in demand as
a year ago, manufactures declare. They
look expecfatnly for the day when street
crowds in rainy weather will be just as
vivid as those who sally forth with
cheerful garb on fair days.
Rainy days in New York this Bum
mer have not presented such a dull
picture on the streets as in the past,
when the black umbrella was the only
kind to be seen- The working girls,
who must go into the business thorough
fares in any weather, have developed
a penchant for umbrellas of purple,
brown, orange and particularly blue,
and others have taken up this cheerful
challenge to the darker side of nature.

A Common Mistake
Don't make the too common mistake of "waiting un
til you have a few dollars" to start a savings account.
Such a time rarely arrives. Human nature with its nat
ural desire to spend works against the plan. The only
certain way to save is to deposit your dollars on a
savings account one by one as they come. You will re
ceive 4 per cent interest also.
