GERMANY GIVEN VALUABLE WAR ' AID BY EGKENER Master of Zeppelin Taught Scores of Students to Fly Dirigibles. CHAPTER VII Dr. Eckener just had reached his 46t,h birthday when the World war broke out, and Delag ships were taken over by the government. He applied for a post as Zeppelin commander. But he was to lead no bombing raids, see no reconnaissance operations of the great fleet. The spectacular operations of peace-time airships had given the German public high hopes for their use in war-time, especially as Germany was ?4io only country possessing this type of aircraft. Eckener had had wider experience than any other man in Europe in flying ships. He must be held at home to train new pilots. Someone must be at hand to pass on to new men the accumulated flying experience of four years of peace-time operation. Dr. Eckener was logically that man. Gives Thorough Training How thorough the training Dr. Eckener gave the military pilots ran be realised only by considering what an airship commander s duties are His motors arc housed in small cars outside the hull of the ship, the farthest of them 500 feet away. From the control car up forward the commander may order his motors. at idling speed. He may outcome motors and run the rest, may with the present type order some run in reverse if he wants suddenly to check speed. However, motors are motors, whether on airships o rsurface craft or automobile. The airship has two sets of rudders. two steering wheels, one set controlling direction, the other altitude. For the airship sails in two dimensions. Must Keep Ship in Trim The commander mast keep his ship in trim, know that whatever consumption of fuel, or what shifting of ballast, the ship from stern to stern is in equilibrium. Though there are times when it may be desirable to fly his ship at an angle through the air. making it noseheavy or tail-heavy. He can check the trim of the ship from his instrument board, can direct his helmsmen from the bridge. The main lfiting force in tl 1 # ship comes from the fact that it is ’nflated with a gas much lighter •han air. The lift, of a ship, however, is not constant. Tt varies with he temperature and barometric pressure. In landing a ship he must be not to drive it down too hard and do damage to it, but he also must not swing down too cautiously and miss his landing crew entirely. Must Know His Valves As he consumes fuel his ship grows lighted and flies higher, with the result, that the lifting gas expands and the surplus flows out through the valves at top and bottom. At his peril he must be certain that his valves work freely knd as needed. He must know the principles of navigation, be able to fly blind, at night or through fog. and know where he is at all times. He must know weather, too. The manager of a ground station must be ready with landing crews when needed, must have men ready for refueling. regassing, overhaul and maintenance. But the ship commander s responsibility does not rease when he has landed his ship, nor wheri it is safe in the hangar. Vigilance Never Relaxes Aboard ship his vigilance and watchfulness can never slacken. But aloft or on land, the commander's responsibility persists continuously, until he is relieved of command. Perhaps the most spectacular single phase of the Eckener training course was the making of theoretical flights. Well before the war the conviction had been growing in his mind and that of Count Zeppelin's that the time was not far ahead when airships would be flown regularly across the north Atlantic to America With typical thoroughness E kener began making plans to that end He had directed the compilation of weather reports between central Europe and New York, getting the rieta from the logs of a thousand ships and innumerable inland stations until he had assembled a fairly complete weather map of the route, covering nearly twenty-five years. Vast Mass of Data Used From this he had been able to draw certain conclusions as to averages in wind directions and velocities. And this huge collection of data now was to become of immediate practical benefit. A cadet commander would call at Eckener's office, receive directions to Helpless, After 15 Years of Asthma Cough and Wheeze Stopped Two Years Ago. Well Ever Since. Any one tortured by asthma or bronchial trouble will be glad to read how Mrs. George Kiefer. Route 2. Box 761, Indianapolis, ended these ailments.

take a Zeppelin ship of given size from Friderichshafen to New York City, making the flight as of July 1, 1915, let’s say. The commander would then assemble officers and crew, shut themselves in a great hall, make final preparations for refueling and servicing the ship, get out the weather maps of that period, settle down to work. They find that a storm was sweeping down from the North sea across Central Europe that day, but that it quieted down sufficiently by evening so that the ship can be taken out of the hangar safely. Go Through Routine They order inspection of docking rail trolleys which harness the ship against the cross hangar winds, reinforce the ground crew, place additional men on the windward side to hold the ship steady. They calculate the life of the ship at the barometric pressure of that evening, decide on the amount of fuel they can carry. They determine whether to fly the northern route, take advantage of the fair weather that will follow the storm, or to swing south to the Azores and catch the trade winds. The ship takes off, flies twelve hours, is north of England, has consumed so many pounds of gas. has become>}ighter. is flying higher, is forced to valve hydrogen to keep down to a better flying level. Take Imaginary Flight En route across, they find new storms and fair weather and hour by hour, they calculate their position, their requirements in fuel, and their resultant lift. They alter their course to avoid storms or take advarage of favorable conditions. Every order necessary to be given in the handling of a ship is thought

Cook 4 minutes on top of the stove. Place small rounded dough biscuits on top of the rhubarb and bake in a hot oven (400° F.) 10 to 12 minutes. Rhubarb is now in the market practically all the year, and so many people, especially men, are fond of appetizing and satisfying rhubarb desserts. An old cooking secret, recently rediscovered, is of importance to every woman—hence also to every man and every child. Food Scientists teach us that vegetables are one of the three essential food*. Children and adults must eat plentifully of vegetables. A dash of sugar added to the vegetables while they are cooking in' little water works wonders with the vegetable flavors. It does not make them taste sweet. It makes these healthful foods so fresh, bright and delicious that people will eat enough of them. Serve at least two vegetables daily. Use sugar in making stewed fruits delicious and in making appetizing milk desserts. Fruits and milk are the other two essential foods.

THIS SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER IS BEING MADE FOR ONLY TWO WEEKS—OFFER CLOSES ON MONDAY, SEPT. 30TH.

THEATER guild to OPEN SEASON HERE BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. TODAY all doubt as to the opening date of the legitimate season at English’s has been removed. Ad F. Miller today announces that the New York Theater Guild will open English’s season on Monday night. Oct. 7, with Shaw's "Pygmalion." This play will be given for three nights and on Thursday night of that week, "Major Barbara" will be given for three nights. This is great news and although the opening is late, we can assure ourselves that the two real plays will be given here by an excellent company.

William Kane, representing the Theater Guild, has prepared the following statement: It has been the habit of the Theater Guild of New York, since its ■ swaddling clothes days of the Garrick theater, to offer a Shaw play each year. This year it happens to be “Pygmalion" and “Major Barbara,” both to be presented at English’s opera house as the first attractions of the 1929-30 season. “Pygmalion" will be given Oct. 7, 8 and 9. beginning Monday evening, and “Major Barbara." the following three evenings. In the course of its contract with Shaw, the guild has produced three of his plays before any one else —“Heartbreak House," “Back to Methusaleh” and “Saint Joan." The others have been revivals. just as “Major Barbara" is a revival. Ordinarily, it is necessary to garb revivals with a heaven of stars to arouse any interest. There are exceptions, of course, in the Shakespeare plays and Doris Keane in “Romance.” There one star suffices. But Shaw’s plays, well produced and acted, still maintain a pulling power of their own, a remarkable thing, considering that such a one as “Arms and the Man" was written in 1894. and most of the others which the guild has revived have not been of such recent making. There seems to be no other dramatist of the day so currently in revival. It is one thing to revive a play—just revive it—and another to attract audiences with it. Whether Shaw's remarkable hold on the theater-going public is because of his own popularity or because of a new generation of theater-goers is an item for discussion. It would seem that neither is the case, for nobody knows so well as the producers that unless a play interests people all the subsidiary inducements will fail. “Pygmalion" is a rattling good comedy, filled with laughs and possessed of dialogue as sparkling as you will find in any of the Shaw plays. Moreover, its situations are excellent: it has a speed not possessed by some others in the Shaw group: it offers many fine roles to

The meeting was attended by the officers and members of the choir’s board and by nearly seventy-five of the active members. The principal reasons given for the curtailment of the choir's activities was the resignation of Elmer Andrew Steffen as conductor; the insufficient financial support given by the public at the choir’s last spring concert and the increasing difficulty in obtaining regular attendance at rehearsals. In speaking of the choir’s present difficulties, Arthur I. Franklin, president, who was in charge of the meeting, made the following statement: “We feel that a crisis has come in the life of the Mendelssohn choir. Our success in the past twelve years was mainly due to the arduous and self-sacrificing efforts on the part of a few people, principally the conductor, the officers and the members of the board. The choir never had a deficit in

any of its many previous concerts until last spring. We have naver asked for a subsidy or support from any source outside of selling tickets to the public and soliciting associate memberships, the equivalent of which was given in tickets to those wno subscribed. We feel therefore that it is best for us to abandon the giving of our fall concert. After diligent search, we are not able to find a suitable conductor locally to succeed Mr. Steffen. The securing of an out-of-town conductor would impose further financial burdens on the choir which the board of directors did not feel warranted in assuming." A number of talks were made by members of the board and active members in the audience with a view to bridging over the present difficulties and continue the work of the choir. At the conclusion of deliberations, it was voted that President Franklin appoint twelve additional members from the choir's active roster to assist the board of directors in reorganizing the choir for next spring’s concert. The principal duties of the new and enlarged committee will be to secure anew conductor; to create ways and means of adequately financing the choir and to obtain enough good singers to enable the new conductor to present choral works of importance in keeping with the high standard and traditions always maintained by the Mendelssohn choir in its past years. Another general meeting of the choir with its enlarged committees will be held in about a month. The present officers of the Mendelssohn choir are: Arthur I. Franklin. president; Miss Martha McDougall, vice-president; Miss Gladys Alwes, treasurer; Miss Matilda Houser, secretary, and Ernest Heberlein, registrar. The board of directors is composed of the officers and the following: Miss Elleanora Atkinson. Mrs. Louis Traugott, Humbert Pagani, DeWitt Talbert and Fred Dav^s.

Take, as an example of Konjola at work, the case of Mr. James Hoard, 320 Ms Virginia avenue, Indianapolis, who said to the Konjola Man a few days ago: “Konjola proved to me that it Is a real medicine, a medicine of merit My health had been failing for the last three months. My stomach was in a very bad condition. Gas formed on my stomach", and my heart palpitated. My liver was sluggish and there was a severe pain in the right side. I was subject to severe dizzy spells. My kidneys also caused an awful lot of trouble. My feet swelled, my back ached, and every morning my whole body was stiff and sore I lost forty-three pounds in weight and was terribly weak. I was disgusted and discouraged over my inability to correct these conditions. “But it did not take long for Konjola to assert itself. I decided to give this new medicine a chance because I reasoned that any medicine capable of earning Konjola’s wonderful reputation surely mast have merit. Well, I was not disappointed Konjola went to the source of my ills, and removed them from my sysi. Six bottles did the work. My stomach is working as it should and gas no longer forms. My liver is no longer sluggish and dizzy spells are things of the past. My kidneys, too have been corrected and all the distress they used to cause has disappeared. I have already regained a lot of my lest weight and fee) stronger. Konjola proved itself to me. I am glad to recommend a medicine of its merit." No wonder Konjola Is the most talked of medicine in America. No wonder it is the medicine with more than a million friends. The Konjola Man is at Hook’s Dependable Drug Store.
