MODEL AIRSHIP MADE
BY SING SING CONVICT
Ossining, N. Y., July 21.?The
wreckage of a model airship, built is
the shops of Sing Sing by "Count"
Max Lynar Loudon, sentenced for
forgery, was found in the prison
yard yesterday where the craft had
been taken for a test. High winds
that came with a storm dashed the
model against the building walls and
completely demolished it.
Loudon had worked a year on the
model and keepers said he appeared
greatly dejected when he saw it in
splinters, saying he considered it
unlikely that he would build another
While7 the model, which was patented
by the inventor, was only forty
feet long the inventor planned to use
its design in the construction of a
craft one thousand feet long and
capable, he declared of carrying one
thousand presons across the ocean.
He said he spent $5,000 in building
the model.
Loudon had attracted considerable
attention in the United States, especially
prior to and during the war
when he was suspected of being a
German spy. He was first arrested
in 1915, on a charge of bigamy. After
making his escape and being recaptured,
he entered a plea of guilty
to the bigamy charge and revealed
a plot of German reservists to invade
Canada. He was later charged
with hatching a plot to kidnap President
Wilson. In 1919 he was sentenced
to three years in Sing Sing
ft"" fftr(?or?r onrf Vifv/vryinncr n
convict he has spent most of his time
in the shops working out various inventions.

MEN AND BUSINESS
(By Richard Spillane)
A man who worked with pick and
shovel 20 odd years ago declined the
presidency of a fairly prominent corporation
the other day. The salary
was $72,000 a year.
| "I can do better work where I am"
| was his answer when pressed to accept.
I want to do the things I know
I can do well and I'm past the stage
[of money hunger."
I Past the stage of money hunger!
[Who ever heard of such a thing?
More interested in doing the things
j he knows he can do weTl than in getting
a lordly salary! Why, there
must be something quter about the
man.
And vet a. lot of industrial concerns
are looking for men of his ability
and not a few banks need officers of
his mental attitude to direct them.
There are to be more changes in
high places in banking and industrial
circles within the next six months
than in any other six months in the
last 25 years. Never was there so
much room at the top.
This is not surprising. The conditions
in the past seven years have
been unprecedented. The swings have
been unparalleled. Only the strongest
of men have been able to hold themTHE
COUNTY BIBLE SOCIETY
The County Bible Society is to
meet at Shiloh on July 27th, the last
Wednesday of the month. The Board
of Directors will meet at cen o'clock
and the public exercise will begin
at 11 o'clock. A picnic dinner will be
served on the grounds. The address
will be made by Professor John G.
Ci nkscales, an J that is enough to
assure us thai i-. v/il1 be a fine one.
L'.r us ail be present to encourage
the speaker, to enjoy social and
spiritual refreshment, ar.?i to aid
the good cause. The Shiloh people
are much interested in the Bible
cause, and Bible-loving people all
over the county should show an appreciation
of this interest. Come
one, come all.

selves well in hand. From the days
in 1914 When the moratorium paaral- 1
yzed everything to the crazy boom ;
days that came in the next year and
then the financial pyrotechnics and '
mushroom millionaire crop of 1917
and 1918 and later a slump with the
armistice followed by the wildest
profiteering in world history and then
collapse?a man had to possess extraordinary
self control not to be
swayed by the times.
Nothing showed the weakness, if
not incapacity, of many men, leaders
in their respective fields, as their
utter unpreparedness for the period
of liquidation. It is because of the
great losses their lack of foresight
entailed that they must make way
for abler and better men.
There is going to be a house cleaning.
It will be done gracefully and
without raising much dust. Men who
as presidents of bdiies have been the
active heads of the organizations will
retire with many expressions of regret
from their associates or if their
financial interests are large they will
be promoted to be chairman of the
board. This latter procedure is like
the British custom of "Kicking a
gentleman upstairs" as they term
elevating him to the House of Lords
when he has outlived his usefulness
in the Commons.
It is strange how critical stockholders
become of corporation heads.]
f JV _ ? _ ? if!
wnen tne propeTxies are not maKing j
money. They even complain of stock |
tickers in the offices and seem to |
think the officials would serve the [
business better if they gave less at- [
tention to market quotations.
. In banking circles the critifcism |
has pronounced almost as in the in- [
dustrial coterie. {j
\ t
The Stillman case gave point to c
many stories that left a bad taste in {!
the mouth of Wall Street. |j
The man who says this is not a [j
time of opportunity doesn't know, jj
There always is room at the top but |
never so much as now. What is true G
Q
of New York is true in degree of eve- 0
ry other section of the country.
Big brainy men of vision and high g
ability are in demand. They must be j
of the type that glory in doing !
things well rather than .these who [
measure success by the bank account {
