Washington.—Since Count Zeppelin began to carry passengers in crude small craft, around the turn of the century, no single passenger has been lost in commercial airship service and about 800.000 have been carried, in cluding those on short sight-seeing hops here and abroad. An airship, the (Jraf Zeppelin, lias circled the world In 21 days and another, the Norge, crossed the North pole. On the dehit side of the ledger stand the spectacular losses of huge military and experimental ships. The British started on an ambitious airship construction program of their own. The ZR-2, which had been pur chased by the United States, fell into the Humber river, just as it was about to be delivered In August, 1021, caus- SPORTS DRESS f * '.

The R-34, which had electrified the world by her crossing of the North Atlantic In July, 1919, under command of Major G. H. Scott In (53 hours, to blaxe that trail for llghter-than-air craft, was blown to pieces In a gale while moored at her mast at Howden, in January, of that year. Fortunately, no one was on board. The R-100, first of two proud 5,000,- 000 cubic foot ships to fly for England, made the North Atlantic round trip In 1030, crossing to Canada ahd return. In October of that year her sister ship, R-101, crashed Into a hill at Beauvais, France, when on a demonstration flight to India and 46 British officers and meji, including some of the aviation leaders of the empire, were killed. Crashed Into Hill. . In December, 1023, the French suf fered the loss of 52 lives In the crash of the Dlxmude off the Sicilian coast while she was on her way to Africa. The Italia, carrying General Umberto Nobile and fellow-explorers, fell during a flight to the North pole In May, 1928, and eight persons were killed. In the United States the record of losses has been even greater. The Ro ma, built In Italy but assembled In this country and under test for the United States army, dived out of control when a rudder cable broke at an altitude of 1,000 feet, fell into high-tension wires and 34 lives were lost In the resultant Are. In September, 1925, the ZR-1, the Shenandoah, In commission for the navy, broke in two during a squall near Caldwell, Ohio, and 14 were killed. Akron and Macon. The Akron, first of the two 6,500,000- cubic-foot airships built for the navy by the Goodyear Zeppelin corporation at Akron, In the world’s largest building, was christened August 8, 1931. and com missioned October 27. On April 4 1933, caught In severe squalls off the New Jersey coast, she broke In the sea and was lost. Tlu^j were only three survivors. Less than three weeks later her sis ter ship, the Macon, made her maiden flight, staying up 12 hours and giving an excellent account of herself. But on February 12. 1035 she too was lost at sea, going down in the Pacific off the California coast. Fortunately, only two of her company were lost. On the favorable side of the account stand many flue flights by rigid air ships, however. Both the Akron and the Macon, while in commission, made long flights, crossing the continent and flying along the coast lines in all sorts of weather. Meantime, abroad, the Graf Zeppelin had begun the series of flights which has been chiefly responsible for the abiding faith which German experts and many American authorities hold in llghter-than-air craft.

Le Baron Walker Many of our Ills are Imaginary. We have convinced ourselves that we are the victims of a certain malady which a medical examination m a y show does not ex ist. The obligation of guarding our health is something we owe not only to ourselves but to our friends and frfmily also. An annual ex amination by the family physician will eliminate, in many cases, Imagi nary Ills. There Is no habit more menacing to health than worry. It Is like sand In cog wheels—it soon stops the machinery. Most _pf our worries are imaginary. The thing we worry over may never happen. If it does occur, the strain upon our nerves due to worry will make us that much less efficient In solving the problem when It does arise. The elevation ahead of us appears very steep as we motor across country, hut we are up and over the hill before we know It. From a distunce the hill ap pears very steep, hut as we approach It, It seems to disappear.

Persons are inclined to take their responsibilities to bed with them. 3’Ills is the very worst thing to do. There Is no easier, no more certain way of wrecking one’s nervous and mental health. ’’Sleep is nature’s balm restorer.” It should bring com plete relaxation to fagged nerves.. A forced absence of sleep is the forerun nor of a nervous breakdown. Will power to forget ami relax is better Ilian narcotics. Fatigue is a poison and plays havoc with the psychic cen ters. No fatigued person is normal Nervous overstrain is the cause of many wrecked lives. We should 'earn to relax and thus preserve our health. It Is reported that the officials of a large American corporation retire from theii business responsibilities for a quarter of an hour immediately after the noon lunch. The time is spent either In a short nap or in relaxation as complete as possible. Another habit contributory to the wrecking of our health is the disease, peculiarly American—‘ Speed.” We try to live 48 hours, in 24. We burn the candle at both ends.

The oriental student calmly inquired, “Now what will you do witli the extra 15 minutes?’’ We might learn a lesson from this point. The body, mind, nerves and muscles is the instrument through which we must do our work. Why not devote more earnest, consideration to the proper care of these bodies of ours? Why not give more dGnsideration to the thoughts we think, the ideals we har bor, the food we eat, the relaxation we enjoy, that we might keep tmr Taxlies fit templet through which the very best that is in us may find adequate and complete expression.

They rang* from the smallest sizes, which may be merely floor cushions to those so large and high that they can serve as low seats without backs, as instanced in ottomans. Ottomans assume pompous propor tlons when they have a center clrcula r post, upholstered, around which a cir cular scat extends which is also up holstered. Such ottomans are chiefly found in hotels and such public places as they aflord the maximum seating capacity lor the fninimum space.

Crickets There Is a wide di(Terence between the choice styles of ottomans to the humble cricket, which is the most in significant of footstools. But tills does not interfere with its comfort-giving quality By the way this word cricket is not affiliated In its derivation with the cricket which sings on the hearth or adds its melodious chirping to an tumn evenings, 'i'lie cricket which is a home furnishing may be a low four- legged footstool, or It may he shaped like a miniature bench. The two names cricket and footstool would seem to be synonymous hut the foot stool is more comprehensive than the cricket. A hassock is another 4irt of foot stool deriving its name from a grass which grows in large tufts. Its orig inal footstool form was as a grass mat or kneeling cushion, and the name hassock still remains as the right one for kneeling-benches or cushions, fur nishing pews. In homes the hassock Is a carpet or textile covered cushion filled with hair, excelsior, or other soft materials so closely packed that the shape of the hassock remains unim paired by use.
