Lighter-Than-Air Ships.
Regardless of the outcome of
the spirited controversy now rac
ing over the comparative advan
tages of aircraft and battleships as
America’s first line of defense,
both the United States army and
navy are to have more lighter-than
air ships —orders for three large
dirigibles and 38 observation bal
loons having just been placed with
the Goodyear Tire Sc Rubber Com
pany.
Two patrol and scouting airships
of 180,000 cubic feet gas capacity
will be built for the navy and will
be completed next spring. A diri
gible of similar size but of a sue
cial Goodyear design will be com
pleted for the army by November.
All three will be tested at the Good
year-Akron air station.
The military airship to be built
for the army will hav? many new
features of design that makes it
the most up-to-date craft in either
arm of the service. It will be the
first dirigible in America to have
its motors in the car instead of in
separate power units. Two pro
pellers will be driven by bevel
gears at a two to one ratio with j
transmission placed on outriggers
instead of the motors driving di
rect to shafts. This will allow the i
engines to run while the propel-!
lers are idle by throwing out 1
clutches, and will also permit pro
pellers to be reversed—a new
feature that will permit greater
facility in landing. Either motor
can drive both propellers in the
event that one motor develops
trouble. With both motors in
board, they can be overhauled in
flight much easier than if they
wer e on outriggers, as in the pres
ent types of airship.
The armv ship will be 170 feet
long and 45 feet in diameter. It :
will be powered by two 125 horse
power Aeromarine motors which
will operate at 1600 revolutions
per minute, but owing to the re
duction gear, the propellers will
make but 800 revolutions per min
ute, giving greater efficiency at
higher speeds. A speed of 60 miles
ati hour is expected. The ship’s
“ceiling” is 10,000 feet.
The pas bags will be of pony
blimp shape —“fatter” than other
types —thus decreasing head re
sistance.
The car will be entirely enclosed
and will house a crew of six, al
though three men can operate the
dirigible for peace time purposes.
The army will use this airship
probably for border patrol, while
the two navy ships will be used
for scouting and observation.

BECAUSE we put the utmost quality into this
one brand. Camels are as good as it’s pos
sible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of
fine tobaccos to make a cigarette.
Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this
in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the
best cigarette it’s possible to buy. Nothing is done
simply for show.
Take the Camel package for instance. It’s the
most perfect packing science can devise to pro
tect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper
—secure foil wrapping—revenue stamp to seal
the fold and make the package air-tight. But
there’s nothing flashy about it. You’ll find no
extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows.
Such things do not improve the smoke any more
than premiums or coupons. And remember—you
must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality.
If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest
cigarette you can imagine—and one entirely free
from cigaretty aftertaste,
