Akron, Ohio, July.B.—Many a|i neck there has been craned skyward at such imposing monsters of the heavens as the U. S. Navy dirIgil.He Los Angeles and the German Gtaf Zeppelin, lutt the people who became stift-necked and eye-sore Pent looking for and at these great i la-gs of gas and steel haven't seen j anything yet. There are those who think thrills from out of the skies are at an end. but their skepticism will be blown-skyward when the U. s. 8. Akron, “biggest 1 test,” as cir- * cug testers are wont, to boast, is; launched soon at the city which j 1 tears its name. Great iti size ami accomplishments as the Graf Zeppelin is, j j the Akron will dwarf it in actual measurements as well as in re-;' markable feats, if its builders anti eoniraander-to-be, Lieut. Commander Charles E. Rosenthal, j , know anything about it. And there isn’t much they don’t know a t aut j 1 dirigibles. j 1 Here's a few comparisons la'- 1 tween the Graf and the Akron ! which indicate what may lie expected cf the latter. Veteran j globe-trotter that it is, the German dirigible must bow to the \kron in cruising radius. The American naval dreadnaught of tlie skies lias j a range of- 10,580 miles, 4.000; more than its nearest competitor, j { Despite the fact that the Akron is! ] only nine feet longer than the Graf It has a gas capacity of 6,500,n00 . cubic feet, nearly twice that of , the German craft. { Both the Isis Angeles and the . Zeppelin have a single keel. The 1 | Akron has tlt fee. This feature j greatly increases the Akron's re-; ] sistantc to vertical thrusts and line ! < squalls such as the one which j Hroke the slender, pencil-shaped; | Shenandoah in two, near Alva, I , Ohio, several years ago. , The Akron’s duralumin frame- j , work is composed otf several newly I , developed features which should i i

give it increased strength. A total of 6,500.000 rivets anchor the frame. Three corridors, oy gangways. extend most of the length of the Akron, and are easily accessible to the commander, a factor which greatly increases the safety of operation. Another revolutionary feature of the Akron is the enclosure of the eight motors within the hull. The use of helium permits this to be done with safety. The stronger framework absorbs the load as a part of the ship, which w’eighs 203,000 pounds without gas, fuel or crew. It is itossihle to carry 31,300 gallons of .fuel in its 100 gas tanks. A marked improvement in the Akron is its swivelling propellers. These can lie swung in a 90-degree arc. which, since the engines are reversible, give the huge ship a vertical thrust, either tip or down. This greatly simplifies landing and starting problems due to atmospheric conditions or heavy load. , Lieut. Commander Rosendahl. as commander of the skv - monster has the task of developing her to full efficiency as a military machine. To a great degree, the part which she will play in revolutionizing modern warfare must, of necessity, devolve itself on Commander Rosendahl. Incidentally, when one's aboard the Akron they’re in the Navy and nowtiere else. The control car is the “bridge,” the floors are the "decks." the walls of the ship are "bulkheads,” the dining-room ts the “messrnom," up on top is "top aide.” and the kitchen is the “galley." The many new features incorporated into the Akron places it in n celestial sphere all its own. The American Navy is proud of its new $2,500,000 flying battleship, and when the giant craft is launched within the near future and citizens of the land are given mi opportunity to view it. they, too, will aeelaini it as the "biggest and best."

Pair Shunned “Good Advice” and Found Oil Dallas, Tex.. (UP)—lf Dr. a. D. j Lloyd Fort Worth geologist an i C I VI. Joiner, Dallas wildtats in tin- oil : business, had listened to "good" | advice, the Fast Te*as oil Helds, ! first developed almost nine months j ago, probably still would be unknown. Dr. Lloyd and Joiner latr-ii and called themselves "doodlebuggers” because they first drilled in East Texas on their own hunch and over advice of other geologists familiar with file geological structure. Their first two tests were fail- \ ures but tlie third otto was a success. V In the nine months since Lloyd and Joiner struck oil. around 1,800 wells have bum drilled, or contracted for NOTICE Tiie patties who took my artificial arm from the rear seat of my car are known and unless it is refturned at once, prose-' cutions will follow.

PEIPING GREETS LIVING BUDDHA Peiping, July (U.R)-Thousands of Tibetan ikuddhists here are giving a hearty welcome to the “Chang Chia," living Buddha of Inner Mon-' golia, one of the most powerful leaders in the Buddhist world. He ! is paying his first visit so the old 1 capital. Chieftains of the six lea- j sues of Inner Mongolia accompan-j led him. The living Buddha dresses in a j | gown of yellow satin, a purple jar ket and wears a Chinese hat inset; with precious stones. He said that he came here to pay his respects to General Chant? Hseuh-liang, chief representative of the central government in North! China. General Chang lias been a' 1 consistent friend of Buddhism, al-1 though not himself a professing ( Buddhist, and has ente"taiiied the Panchen Lama, Living Buddha of ’ Tibet, in Mukden. The Inner Mongolian visitors , hope to persuade General Chang to j improve conditions in that district. 1 ; Bandits have become active every- 1 [ where on account of civil wars, and * ! trade has almost completely disup- 1 i Pcared. Thousands of Inner Mon 1 ' jgolians are destitute. j 1 • < PREBLE NEWS ♦- i Mr. and Mrs. Wallas Elzey Mr. (f and Mrs. Clyde Elzey of Forti* Wayne spent the Fourth of July visiting the former's parents Mr. i i and Mrs. Douglas Elzey. , ( Mi ami Mrs. Henry Miller and t

EXPERT SURVEYS EUROPE'S WOOD Washington, (UP) A survey | of tlie Epropean markets for Ameri jean Vinber in an effort to handle! j wine of the surplus lumber created j i by domestic overproduction is be-1 I ing made by Axel H.
