Facing the tact that memories of the R-33 and Roma disasters still are ireshly in mind throughout the world' Germany's builders of the new Zeppelin intended for commercial use in the United States are prepared to exhaust every resource at their command in producing the "last word" in aircraft. The Zeppelin company stand ready to "stake its repu tation" on the project, according to an American official who has figured prominently in the nego tiations for the contract recently sltrni.-d here. . -- This official pointed out, how ever, that the undertaking strikes no awe in the hearts of thu constructors since they al ready have built larger ships tliau that now under contract. In fact, he said, they are equip ped to produce a Zennelin of J 00.000 or even 120,000 cubic meters, as compared with the ship of 70.000 which they have agreed to build "for Ameriea. Yet the builders recognize the possibility of elements hitherto uncontrollable entering into con struction of this nature, it is said, and will endeavor to profit by careful study of the fate which befell the two giant air ships produced for the United states the past two years in Eng land and Italy. Particular at tention will be devoted to the question of the manifold stresses to which an airship is subject. This problem involves multitud inous technicalities as to design and the extreme testing of ma lerial. In these departments, it ls felt in American circles here, the Germans have reached an outstanding stage of advance. Keception of the ship having been delegated to the naval de partment of the United States, its des-u will be submitted to that ivfeion of the government for nproy;,l. Tn addition, an offi cer of the department will bo presout at Friedrichhafen as an. un s IlilS construction. This duty een jjssigned to First Lieut- I 't ,?rlaml Pulton, U. S.

Meeting was held at Hotel Cherry where luncheon was served to all dele gates. Vice-President-Manager, N. G. Bartiett, made an interesting re port of tEe "activities of the or. ganization since its inception early in the spring to the pres ent time and made many valua ble suggestions for future devel opment. One of the principle objects of this meeting was the selection of After spirited balloting Golda- boro was selected as headquart ers, and the following officers elected by the directors : Dr. O. J. Ellen, of Greenville, President ; W. A. McGirt, of Wilmington, 1st vice president; J. H. Alexan der, Jr., of Scotland Neck. 2nd Vice president and H. McKinnon, of Clinton, 3rd vice preaideht; executive committee: Geo. O Royall, Goldsboro, W. H. Austin, of Smithfield, H. H. Taylor, of Kinston, J. H. Alexander. Jr., of Scotland Neck and Dr. C. J. F len. of Greenville. The prime object of this or ganization is the development of the natural resources of Eastern North Carolina through propa ganda and educational methods, and the advertising of the sec- .tion which. this organization eor ers, which originally included the thirty nine eastern counties of the State, but at this meeting it was decided to ask the following counties to become included in the ; proposed development: Scotland, Warren, Vance, Greens ville, Franklin, Wake and Hoke. The manager and other officers and directors of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce urge liberal and enthusiastic sup port of this movement through which it is hoped that that part of North Carolina will not suffer the ravages of the boll weevil as other sections of the South have through a welljplanned system of preparation which is being un dertaken by that' organization.

It has not yet been decid ed, at this early stage of the project, whether any American personnel will accompany the Germans on their trans-Atlantio flight. The new Zeppelin will require a crew of about the same number ns that which manned the R-38.

The fourth day of Chicago's street car strike saw both sides in an apparent deadlock over the terms of settlement. Meanwhile Mayor Thompson and the city council are considering plans for the operation of the city owned motor buses. FRANCE TODAY 2010 GIRL ATHLETES (By Associated Press) Paris, Aug. 4. France, where before the war feminine athlet ics were virtually unknown, now the 20,000 enrolled girls and wom en competing in track and field events, and from this new army a team will be selected to repre sent the nation in the interna tional games in Pershing Stad ium beginning August 20. The international games may result in amalgamation of the two national feminine athletic organizations whose rivalry near ly disrupted plans for the meet, one with 327 local societies and the other with 120. The Minis try of War is projecting plans for the combination. Until May 1915 Frenejh wpjnen had never organized for athletics with the exception of horseback riding, tennis, hunting and swim ming. French women do not excel as sprinters but they - are confident of their prowess in the middle-distance runs, and they have an exceptional performer in Madame Gonrand-Morris in the weights. ION HOT YET READY FOR U. S. (By Associated Press) London, Aug. 1. Twenty-two of the worst slum areas in Lon don are to be wiped out by the London County "Council. The work is to be spread over the next ten or 12 years and the gov ernment will assist in it. "When the scheme, which in volves nothing less than the clearance of all the " slum areas in London, is completed," says Colonel Levita, chairman of the Housing Committee, "it will i have entailed the displacement of some 45,000 people, and an expenditure of many millions of pounds. The main idea is to make London a slumless city.

American sewing machines, too, arejn sale in some stalls, and in others there are American made., knives and forks viewing with German, Polish and Russian manufactured sroods of the same kind.

The o , . " ot a national institute of experimental therapy, to have leiati vely the same scope as the Rockefeller Institute in patho logy or the Mayo clinics in sur. gery, is the plan of Rear AdmhS ai William C. Braisted, retired, for the expansion of the Phil adelphia College of Pharmaev and Science of which he is presi! aent. . The college soon is to leave ita present site in North Tenth street for newer and more commodious quarters in West Philadelphia. A plot has been acquired in this' section of the city and work on the new college edifice will he gin within the year. According to Admiral Braist ed 's plan, therapeutics .would bo placed on the same basis of sys. tematic research and coordina- -tion . as those of the two other branches of medical science. While the institute would be meant primarily for students of pharmacy, it would be composed jot many buildings, among them, perhaps a large hospital, and Iab ! oratories for a host of demonstra tors physicians, chemists, phar maceutists, bacteriologists, sero logists, and other scientists. At present, it was explained, the bulk of pharmaceutical re search in this country Ls made in the laboratories of large drug and chemical companies. Whila some valuable contributions to medical science have been made by these laboratories, the re search work necessarily has been done largely on a commercial basis, and many experiments are said to have been abandoned when their commercial value be came doubtful. Also the inevit able competitive spirit makes or a needless multiplication ot or.mulae thereby makm ditficult the problem of g more drug ; standaidization. j The institute proposed by Ad miral Braisted would, to a great extent, remedy this condition.
