Many Die in Zeppelin Hindenburg Explosion
This remarkable picture was made just as the giant German dirigible Hindenburg burst into flames
and exploded as it was preparing to land at Lakehurst, N. J. t following a flight from Germany. Ninety-eight
persons aboard were plunged to earth in the flaming wreckage. Thirty-four died almost instantly and of the
64 rescued, many were horribly injured. An explosion of a gas cell in the stern was blamed for the disaster.
Journey’s End for World’s Greatest Airship
Wreckage of the huge dirigible Hindenburg, after the explosion at Lakehurst, N. J., when the great ship
was preparing to land. Costing the lives of more than 34, the disaster was one of the worst in history.
The dirigible Hindenburg’s 1937
maiden voyage which ended in flam
ing disaster when the airship ex
ploded just before landing at Lake
hurst, N. J., marked the first time
that Capt. Max Pruss commanded
the sky liner on a flight from Ger
many to the United States. Last
year he was a subordinate officer
when Capt. Ernst A. Lehmann and
Dr. Hugo Eckener, the veteran Zep
pelin expert, handled the ship on
her regular passenger schedule.
He was schooled in Zeppelin work
tor a quarter of a century.

D. Roberts, Cleveland veterinarians, as they removed the tonsils of
Fritz, a Great Dane. The doctors assert that tonsilitis in dogs is a
common ailment in some parts of the country.

a tight felt hat, hold it in the
steam of a boiling kettle. When
the felt is thoroughly damp it is
easy to stretch it to the right size.

Milk Puddings Orange peel
shredded very finely makes an ex

from nutmeg when added to rice
pudding or baked custard.

teaspoon of ammonia in a quart

after which they should be rinsed

nutritious and digestible, too.

What Relief!
“Gosh, I need five bucks and I
don’t know where to get it."
“I’m glad of that. I was afraid
you thought you could get it from
me.”—N. Y. Evening JournaL
He Would
“Have you heard of the timber
merchant who had the ’phone in
stalled for the first time?"
“No. What happened?"
“Well, he kept putting trunk
calls through to his branches!"
There is always more room at
the top, says Oliver Optimist. I
wonder if he’s ever seen a pyra

The Lack
“Why," said the Englishman,
“your country has never produced
a really great man. You say Rob
ert Burns? Pouf! If I had a mind
to do it, I could write as good
stuff as ever Burns did."
“Ay, you’re right there," re
plied the patient Scot. “All that
ye want is the mind."

Hindering Others
A VEXATION arises, and
our expressions of impa
tience hinder others from tak
ing it patiently. We say an un
kind thing, and another is hin
dered in learning the lesson of
charity that thinketh no evil.
We say a provoking thing, and
another is hindered in that
day’s effort to be meek. We
may hinder without word or
act. For wrong feeling is more
infectious than wrong-doing;
especially the various phrases
of ill - temper, gloominess,
touchiness, discontent, irritabil
ity—do we know how catching
these are?—F. R. Havergal.
