AIR GARAGE TO BE INCREASED IN LENGTH v ? Lakehurst, July 16.?The Navy Department has ordered an increase ol 200 feet in the length of the mammoth "air garage" for dirigible baloons which is being built here, it was announced today. This hangar will be the largest ir the world, big enough to hold twc trans-atlantic liners the size of the Leviathan. Plans for it originally were drafted when the Navy Department contracted for the R-38, a dirigible one-third larger than the R-34 which flew to the United States froir England last year. Accordng to revised specifications the hangar will be 1,000 feet long 318 feet wide and 200 feet high. Wher completed, which probably will be next spring, the big air garage and its auxiliary power house, machine shops and officers' quarters will cost about $3,577,00, it was stated. The hangar will have electrically operated double doors, 177 by 136 feet each, which when opened wide will with the structure constitute a windbreak of nearly 600 feet. Satisfactory progress has been realized to date in the hangar's construction, it was stated. The site has beer cleared of pine and scrub oak stumps by two Marine Corps tractors, designed for hauling 7-inch guns through Flanders mud but now operated as stump pullers. The foundation and bases for the steel arches of the roof have been laid and several arches mounted. About 400 enlisted men and civilians are employed on the work, which is being performed under the Civil Engineers Corps of the Navy.

EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH BEAVERS Concord, N. H.t July 17.?An efforl to reestablish the beaver on th streams and meadowg of the White Mountains country from which it long since disappeared is being made b> the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. The Lost River Reservation i? again the haunt of the dam-building animals, four beavers having been liberated there as the first step in an effort to return the amphibian archited to i*o former usefulness. Within the steep walls of the Kinsman Notch through which tumbles Beaver Brook a misnomer in recent years, the beaver will have its favorite topographs in which to propagate and work undei the foothills of Moosilauke Mountain The animals set free were the gift of the state forrester of Minnesota who selected them from a breeding colony at a state park situated at th< headwaters of the Mississippi. Th? beaver are descendants of a family in troduced to Minnesota from Canada which have multiplied and prosperec there, and are now contributing to re\establishment of the species in another state.

As the production of ' wool in this country is growing year h " ^by year, the problem of selling the 1 coarser grades is considered very seri- 18 1 ous. One reason for the situation is P that formerly Argentine sheep breed1 ers had thought more of the meat ^ 1 than the wool, with the result that ^ their stock became mixed and the consequent wool coarse and not uniform. ^ i * lj WAR ON COCKNEY ir I DIALECT 0 c London, July 1.?London school teachers have begun a campaign to eradicate the Cockney dialect, which they characterize as a ''disease of lan- ^ guage," caused by incorrect breathing ' and by improper voice instruction.

Story of Orangi-Crush* PEARL DIVING SEASON OPENS Papeete, Tahiti, July 19.?The opening of the pearl diving season, the great event of the year in the French Settlements comes in July. Diving is not permitted for two years in succession at the same island. The various pearl islands are opened in rotation. This means that all gear, stocks of merchandise and building material must be taken to a new island each yepr?no small undertaking when it is remembered that the coral atoll, which in ordinary times supports less than tw0 hundred persons, becomes in the diving season the abiding place of 2,500 or more. This year the open island is Hikueru, one of the Paumotu Archipelago 400 miles to the eastward of Tahiti. Already this lonely atoll is taking on a metropolitan appearance. The profits to be gained come not only from the pearl shell won from the lagoon but from the sale of wares dear to the native heart and from the providing of entertainment to refresh weary divers and their women folk after the labors of the day are over. The average native dives wins a good sum from the bottom of the lagoon and much of it goes on expensive shk dresses ior nis wife and daughters, on the delectable canned goods of the "poppa" (white man) and on the movies. This year there are to be, it is said, three moving picture theatres, any number of motor cars for hire?the length of the roadway in Hikueru is less than half a mile, but that apparently does not make any difference ?a brass band and, it is reported, electric; lights along the "Great White Way" of this little ring of coral sand. Late advices indicate that the season this year at Hikueru will be the most active in many years. It is estimated there will be at least 1,000 divers on the island. These, together 1 iandies?
