G RAF ZEPPELIN, the great Ger
man dirigible, was the feature of
Uic week's news. Its second crossing
of the Atlantic, from Frledrlchshafen
to New York, was mode without mis
hap, and after flying over the metrop
olis it come to the ground at I.ake-
hurst, N. J., in a perfect night land

The ofiTy stops are to bo nt Friedrichs-
ImTinT oki<\ Los Angeles, and again
Lnkehurst. If the Zeppelin keeps to
her schedule she will arrive at the
New Jersey hangar on August 29.
Twenty-two passengers were taken on
the easthound trip. Those who intend
ed to continue aboard for the globe
circling journey included William B.
Leeds. Lady Grace Drummond Hay.
Carl Von Wlcgand. Joaquin Rickard,
Sir Hubert Wilkins, Lieut. Jock Rich
ardson, Lieut. Commander C. E. Ros-
cndald and C. B. Ihirgess, the Inst
three being sent by the United States
Navy department. Dr. Hugo Eckener,
as on tli^previous flight. Is pilot of the
dirigible, but It was reported that aft
er this world toar he would relinquish
Its command and devote himself to
the nninagpuient of the Zeppelin com
pany, of which lie Is the business
head.
Rear Admiral William A. Moffett,
chief of the naval bureau of aero
nautics. while praising Hie successful
trip of the Graf Zeppelin, calls atten
tion to the fact that our navy Is now
building nt Akron, Ohio, two dirigibles
that will lie nliout twice the size of
the German airship. Work on the.se
vessels lias been going on for some
time mid the ndmtrnl says the first of
them will be put Into use In 1991.
Each will be filled with six and one-
half million culiic feet of helium gas
and will carry five airplanes attached
to tlio hag. Admiral Moffett has been
looking along the Pacific const for a
good pluce for a base for these Im
mense dirigibles.
One novelty In avlntlon Is to he
noted this week. A company lias been
formed in Kansas City to rent "fly-lt-
yourself” airplanes to persons who
cannot afford to own and maintain
plnncs. One hundred two-seater sport
planes have been ordered and they
will cost tlie renter between $15 and
*20 an hour.
L ieut, ai.ford j. williams,
America’s lone hope in the inter
national seaplane race for the Schnei
der trophy, to he run nt Cowes, Eng
land, September 0 and 7, has produced
his plane, without government hack
ing hut with the aid of Admiral Mof
fett, and was testing It out near Phil
adelphia last week. He believes it
will prove to be the fastest ship in the
world and that It will beat the time
made by Major De Bernard! of Italy
Inst year—918 miles an hour. The en
gine, of 24 cylinders In hanks of six,
will deliver 1,100 horsepower. The
plane Is u twin flout monoplane, the
fuselage, wings and fixed tail surfaces
of wood and the control surfaces of
metal.
Lieut. Florentln Bonnet of the
French urm.v, selected by the ministry
of air to pilot the French entry In the
Schneider cup ruces, was killed when
the alrplnne in which he was training
for the speed test was wrecked in
leaving the airfield nt Bordenux. Bon
net wus the holder of the world speed
record for laud airplanes.
E MINENT statesmen representing 12
world powers gathered In The
Hague and on Tuesday opened a con
ference designed to liquidate the In
ternational problems left over from the
World wur. The chief matters to he
settled were (he adoption of the Toting
plan for German reparations, the evac
uation of the Rhineland, nnd the es-
tnbllshmcnt of a committee of concili
ation nnd control to supervise the de
militarized zone of Germany along the
western frontier. Whether all or any
of these things could he arranged
amicably at this conference was a hit
doubtful. Tills was especially true
concerning the Young plan, which In
ccrtnln of Its features was distasteful |
to every one of the power* except pos- j
slbly France and Italy.
Philip Snowden, British chancellor
of the exchequer, opened the discus- |
slon by frankly stutiug that the Brit
ish government could not nceept tlie
Young scheme for division of repara-
tlons because it reduces England's
share from 22 per cent lo 18 per cent.
He said: "Great Brltnln objects to

Tit? Mealier creditor powers, for
which Premier Venizelos of Greece
was the spokesman, also protested that
tlicIrTTeiifs had been overlooked by the
experts when they formulated the plan
which “compresses" tjielr reparations,
hut they said ihey'httd no intention of
attacking the Young plan. " •—'
Representatives of France, Itnly, Bel
gium nnd Japan defended the new plan
us probably the best that could he de
vised, although each of them asserted
nls country was making sacrifices In
accepting it. M. Cheron, French min
ister of finance, declared France ac
cepted the plan in Its entirety, with
out reservations, and considered It in
divisible us the experts stated. Not
withstanding these expressions on be
half of the other nations, Mr. Snowden
and Arthur Henderson, British foreign
secretary, told tlie reporters positively
that Great Britain would reject the
proposed new division of reparations.
Two commissions were named by
the conference, one to study the po
litical consequences of adoption of the
Young tdnn nnd tlie other to deal with
the financial questions involved. These
bodies may not get through their work
for live or six weeks.
Dispatches from Rome said Italians
generally were Indignant at Snowden's
speech, which they considered u churl
ish attack oil the Latin nations and
calculated to endanger the friendship
between Italy and England. Berlin
also disliked It, feeling that Snowden
was trying to “squeeze still more out
of the unfortunate German tax pay
ers," and fearing that France, rather
than quarrel with England, would com
promise at Germany's cost.
P RESIDENT HOOVER'S law ct>
forcemeat commission tins divided
Its work Into eleven sections nnd for
each a committee lias been named.
Chairman George W. Wlckerslmm him
self is head of the committee to study
prohibition, the other members being
Newton D. Baker, Ada L. Comstock
and Judge William S. Kenyon. No
oilier single body of laws was singled
out for such concentrated study ns
those concerning the Eighteenth
amendment.
Judge Kenyon was designated chair
man of the committee on lawlessness
by government law-enforcing officers,
which was made one of the subjects
of special inquiry because of the re

Baltery Fluid Composed
Mostly of Cornstarch
Giving speelnl emphasis to the In
effectiveness of buttery "dupes'' and
patented mixtures which tire alleged
to "eliurgo butteries, reduce Internal
resistance, remove siilplmtlon, pre
vent freezing," Hie National Better
Business bureau lias issued Its ini
tial report concerning its activities In
the battery field.
After stating that Hie outstanding
battery "dupe” coming to tlie hut'euu's
attention during tlie past year was
composed essentially of cornstarch,
the report points out that the adver
tisers of buttery compounds general
ly are not making the blanket claims
for their product which was the cus
tom several years ago. Many no
longer claim that tlielr compound will
"charge batteries."
The report details nt some length
the co-operuliun which legitimate
battery mniiulucturers have given the
national bureau, lit connection with
the advertising of so-called "elimina
tors" the work of the bureau Is ol
particular Interest. Early In 1(127,
advertisers were offering products of
varying construction without differ
entiating their merchandise from com
petitive mills in any manner. It wus
the practice lo describe these units
as A and U “buttery eliminators" and
to point to Hie many disadvantages of
batteries and buttery-operated radio
sets.
in a recent survey 50 advertisers de-
scilhed tlielr units iu accordance with
the bureau's recommendations und
only seven used the uegutlve term
"eliminator."
Educating New Owners
of Radio-Receiving Sets
In the selection of u radio set muii}
features must he considered. There
are many trick contrivances on the
market, ! ut, basically, the modern
receiver Is constructed In two general
classes— lliai Is, It uses two funda
mental circuits—the tuned radio-fre
quency, with detector and uudty am
plification, and the superheterodyne.
mi oTnshlii licitthe TaiTer ftir tin
Inside oF loop uerluTT Before choos
ing either type, take Into cohsltlorn
lion the conditions pertaining to loca
tion. Apartment dwellera, as u rule,
are not permitted the advantages ol
an outdoor antenna. Many of them
resort to tin indoor aerial, running
along the picture molding of n room
The wiser ones choose u straight
loop, in connection with u super
heterodyne circuit. Most of the
standard sets are ntw built for sensi
tivity and selectivity. These words
tire not mysterious. Sensitivity re
lutes to the ability oi the set to pick
up weak signals. Selectivity relates
to tlielr separation to uiold receiving
more than one station at a time, and
also to mold the clashing of signals
from stations whose wave lengths are
closely allocated. Both these uttrlb
utes make for quality, but, of course
the general tone of a radio set de
pends much on the type of loud
speaker.
Things to Know About
Life of “C” Battery
The question of the necessity for
replacing the "C” battery In it receiv
er when the others are no longer use
ful often arises. In this connection
there Is one Important thing to keep
In mind, that the “C" battery Is used
to prevent the flow of grid current,
which means that lliere Is no current
drawn from the battery. The useful
life of the battery is, therefore, equal
to Its "shelf life,” or the life it would
have if It were not used at all. The
life of the battery Is Independent of
the number of tubes used In the re
ceiver. The shelf life depends pri
marily on the size of the cells. For
this reason the high-voltage batteries
used to bins the power tube have to
he replaced more frequently than
those used to bias the radio-frequency
amplifier.
Hot Weather Luncheon Suggestions
Electrical Apparatus
Leaks Cause of Static
A leak in electrical apparatus in the
home, such ns furnace or lee box eun-
trol. Irons, electric heaters, warming
pads, violet ray machines, vacuum
cleaners, fans, washing machines, etc.,
whether resulting from broken Insula
tion or u had contact, may result In
spark production with a consequent
broadcasting of high frequency waves.
In many Instances this condition can
he remedied If n by-pass condenser Is
connected across the contacters. These
condensers are fairly small In the ease
of devices requiring minute currents,
but they are silencers that function
Instantly nnd unfailingly.
Blind to Get Radio Sets
Blind people of the entire United
States are to receive, through the
American Foundation for (lie Blind,
500 radio sets which have been con
tributed by the Crosley Radio cor
poration.
Railroads Using Sets
Experiments were recently curried
out with an eight-tube receiver aboard
a Southern railway train in England
With the use of two electric phono
graph amplifiers, the results were
said to be fairly successful.
