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.
RELATIONS WITH
ARGENTINA
Beunos Aires, June 24.?"The new
and firm current established between
the United States and Argentina, does
not escape the notice of the Argentines,
who are fully aware of it," said
Dr. Jose Luis Cantilo, mayor of this
city, in an r ddress to the members oi
the local American club at luncheor
recently.
"We,view this movement with pro
found sympathy," he continued. "Wc
are just at the commencement of the
commercial and industrial activity ol
the Argentine republic. We have much
to expect from American collaboration.
Our lands might still be said tc
be deserts; our mines unexploited; oui
industries in the embroyic state; oui
. commerce but recently awakened
quickened by that activity and intelligence
which characterizes the AmeriI
can. It indicates that the time has
arrived for us to join this movement
and our efforts should be directed sc
that all business men of the great
republic of the north who arrive at
our shores should find the adhesior
and the warmth necessary to the de
velopment of activity and progress.
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.

; LOTS OF WOOL
l IN ARGENTINA fl
i ti
Beunos Aires, June, 24.?The cessa- c<
? tion of the demand for coarse grades w
of wool for army uniforms and the re1
fusal of the average people, in spite of n
? the high cost of living, to buy cloth1
ing made of the coarse grades, has ^
1 left Argentina with more than 200,- n
' 000,000 pounds of almost unsalable ^
wool on its hands, according to a lo- P;
cal manufacturer of woolen cloth, in- C1
' terviewed by La Nacion. a
' This huge quantity will be increased
' during the shearing season in July 0
and August. 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. ^

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. A
number of teachers in secondary
1 schools declare elementary teachers ^
1 themselves often employ the Cockpey, .
pronouncing such words as "paid" as c
if both vowels were "i" and explaining r
[ the difference by saying the *'i" should
' have a dot. r
1 The teachers made no plans to carry p
the reform to the Cockney adults out- j.
side the schools.

Tokia, June 24.?Japan will take on t

"Ths plan has been contemplated for

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
