BIGGER, FASTER AIRSHIPS SEEN AS NECESSARY Howden, Yorkshire. Nov. I—<U.R>— Airship builders must concentrate on the ultimate construction of bigger and faster ships than any that have so far appeared, declared Commander C. 11 Burney, managing director of the Airship Guarantee company, the builders of the R -100 now nearing completion here. Commander Burney, in an exclusive Interview with the United Press said he hail watched the recent trans Atlantic flight of the ' Graf Zeppelin” with the greatest interest. The R-100 is a shorter and faster ship than the German models. For this reascn It is possible to increase structural strength with out so large ar resulting increase in weight. Also it is believed that her resistance to the air will be less than that of the longer ships, enabling smaller motors to move her at the same speed. Before this step was taken, exhaus tive tests were carried out with a view to insuring proper ventilation and avoiding any danger from the proximity of the hydrogen which will he contained in the gas bags. "The R-100 is definitely intended for service on the Egypt-India route," declared Burney. "Thus she will not be called on for really long flights” "I do not think airships will ever be used for freight transport excepting mails" Burney said, "but I do expect the number of passengers to increase rapidly. "'Great Britain is, of course, printar ily interested in linking up the outlv ing parts of the Empire" he pointed out. "We are not immediately in either the north cr south Atlantic routes, — though 1 am sure other countries will decoted their energies fit st of all to se curing the Atlantic traffic.” o RECORD VOTE FORECAST FOR ADAMS COUNTY (CONTINUE!)

STATELY DANCE DUE TO RETURN SAYS TEACHER London, Nov. I—flj.R/- A return to the days when dancing was a stately serene ceremony, when Black Bottom Charleston and Hoeoie Jeeutes were things not to be thought of. is predicted Camille de Rhynal, president of the Dance Teachers of Fiance and also of the International Dancing Federation "The Charleston, the Black Bottom, and the Heebie Jeebies,” said Rhynal In an interview, "burst upon the ballrooms of England and the Continent and cleared them of many nice people who used to love dancing. In their place we got the flapper and the y, ung men of her kind. "Now, there are dances on the horizon that will bring back to our dance floors the nice people who used to see In dancing a means of expressing grace and charm in the days when dancing was worth while”. Rhynal partly blames the simplicity | of modern dancing, and partly the im-portation-of jazz from America, for what he terms the "decline" in dancing. "lu the dances and dance music numliets have been coming over from America” he said. "There lias n t been a dance teacher of note in Europe, or in Loud .'ll, who did not see the inevitable ruin of good dancing and the departure of all grace and style from the ball room. Advocates the “Twist" “We realized that any renaisance of dancing depended cn getting away from the American control. 1 think we have not reached the stage when we can say that we are moving in a new direction.” Even the make-up for dance bands, he declared, is changing. Jazz instruments are giving way to the violin, flute, harp and ’cello. “The curicus thing about it” he added. “is that America, who was the pioneer of nearly everything that has
