The tallest ud perhaps the most efficient mast in tl,, world is that at the Ford airport, Dearborn. Michigan: it stands 64 meters high and is so constructed as to »rmit an airship, once securly anchored to he lowered along its site to a landing platform at its base. The Ford mast also has an elevator large enough to hold six passengers going from or to the platform on top. A similar mast has been designed at Scott Field. Belleville. 111. while other American anchoring towers are to be found at Lakehurst. Fort Worth. Camp Lewis, San Diego, and Pearl Harbor not to forget the floating mast on the airship tender. Patoka. The Lakehurst structure is 50.3 meters high. In England the best known mast is at Pulham, although a much taller one stands at Cardington. The former is 36 meters At one time the English dirigible. R. 34. was anchored to the Pulham mast for 9 weeks, during which jime it was subpected to rain and snowstorms without suffering damake At another time the R 33 was lately anchored there through a storm with a wind velocity of 96 kilometers uhottr. The British have either built or have plans for building other masts nt Bathhurst. Freetown, Capetown. Durban and Ismailia ton the Suez) In Africa, at Karachi in India and at Perth, Melborne and Sydney in Aus tralia. These plans are all a part of the general airship expansion scheme which is to be developed by the British in connection with the construction of the R 100 and R 101. ' Although the idea for a mooring mast was first advanced in 1910 by Professor Kreil, constructor of the Sie niens-Schubert airships in Germany, the English during the World War were the first to erect a mast and put it to practical use German engineers and dirigible interests now plan to make up for lost time by constructing a series of anchors in this country Dr. Hugo Eckener also wishes to see similar facilities provided elsewhere In Europe, particularly in Spain •nd France, over which countries his Graff Zeppelin ordinarily must pass >o get to the United States or to the •Mediterranean. It is not intended that these mooring t»asts ghaii displace the hangars pre * n,ly in use or which mav in the wire be built.

Iced Drinks In Hot Weather “Ice cold lemonade, ice cold sody,’ | ice cold pop, ice tea, ice water and i all ice drinks may be boons or boomerangs to the health of the average American according to the judgment with which they are consumed.’’ Bays I the bulletin issued today on “Iced j Drinks’’ hy the Bureau of Publicity ’ of the Indiana State Medical Associa-1 tion. ‘‘Most of us are not aware when we stroll up to the nearest soda fountain ■ and order an iced drink that we are ' patronizing a distinctly American ! habit,’’ continues the bulletin. “The quantity of iced driukß con-' sumed in America during the summer | months is absolutely incomprehensible to Europeans who have nothing' to compare to our soda fountain, and | it might cause us to check up and see i if the American ice water habit is as ] harmlees as some persons think. "Perfectly good, moderately cool • drinking water may be spoiled by the nngoverned habit of putting ice into | it. So determined are we to drink , our water iced that rather than drink ! clean water of ordinary temperature many of us prefer to drink water out of coolers even though proper care has not been taken to make sure that clean ice is in the cooler. Many water coolers found in public places and some in railway cars, stations and street corner stores are poorly cared for. Yet most of us have become so accustomed to ice water that we don’t seem to care whether the water that comes from these coolers is filled with impurities as long as it. is cold. We desire ’ice water |nd we too often deliberately ignore the condition of the cooler from which we get it. “After all. the habit of dumping a piece of ice into our drinking water forms only one harmful aspect of the ice water habit. With all our ideas of cleanliness, still countless people will hold pieces of cracked ice in their hands, turn the spigot, give the ice a superficial washing and distribute it to the glasses. A few moments afterwards the guests are served with the usual American iced drink. "Any numb-r of people accept this method of preparing iced drinks without questioning the cleanliness of the drink or without giving the method of preparation a single thought. As a matter of tact, even when water is chilled in the most sanitary way by ice applied in such away that it does not touch the water, the watei is usually too cool to be taken into the normal human body. | “Iced water should never be taken in large quantities at any time. It should not be taken in any quantity when the body is overheated and in came of sifhstroke, don’t, try to give the victim ice water but call a reputable physician immediately. A refreshing degree of coolness is desirable and ought to be sufficient to satisfy even the most fastidious palate.’’ —o — Het the Heblt—Trade at Home, It Faye
