No Passenger Lost
by Rigid Air Lines
All Landed Safely Even in
Zeppelin’s Early Days.
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-

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

leaders of the empire, were killed.

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

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.

HEALTH

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. So with
many of our problems when we brave-

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

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. A successful

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

enjoy, that we might keep tmr Taxlies

T HE words footstool and foot rest,
are comprehensive, and now when
these articles are being featured in
comfortable furnishings,’It is Interest
ing to note some of the various types.
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. It : s
adaptable for foot rest or seat, and de
serves to lie popular, as it does double
duty and is an aristocrat in furnish-
'ir.gs.
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.

Women who are entering middle

ence of Mrs. L. C. McDonald, of
Paragould, Ark., who writes; “I took
Cardui during change of life. I Was
so weak, so nervous, I could hardly
go. I just dragged around. I had
fainting spells and would just give
down. My back and head hurt. I
read of Cardui. I took about seven
bottles. It gave me relief and
strength. I am now 60 years past,
and can do a pretty good day's work
in the house and garden.”
Thousands of women testify Cardui bene
fited them. If it doe* not benefit YOU,
consult a physician.
