tri£si2
Lalcehurst, N. J. —The greatest
dirigible in the world, the Shenen
doah (claim based upon perform
ance alone) rests in her hangar here
as enthusiastic U. S. Navy chiefs lov
ingly direct the work of repair .vhich
will make her ready for a history
making flight this summer, a trip
to the North Pole.
Two weeks ago the proposed
flight was in doubt, as Congress was
questioning the possibilities of suc
cess in such a venture. Now, how
ever, criticism has disappeared, as a
result of the unscheduled flight and
test of the great craft in an eight
hour battle with the terrific 73-mile
storm which swept the Atlantic sea
board.
Every American was thrilled with
the story of that performance. It
was a triumpth compltte in rigid
dirigible construction and handling
with all honor to American brains
and ability.
Charles P. Burgess, or the Aero
nautical Bureau, a civilian who
happened to be aboard when the
Shenadoah parted from her moor
ing * mast in that great gaie, ex
pressed it all when he said:
“Show me in the history of the
seas where a steamship has gone
to sea in a 73-mile gale—with a
skeleton crew—a smashed bow;
two-thirds of her stearing gear
gone; .with ballast compartments
stove in, and has come back to
port under her own power. The
Shenandoah did that —and in doing
it removed all doubts regarding the
possibilities of building and navigat
ing a dirigible in all kinds of weather
and with safety to her crew. This
great test was cheap at the cost of
the slight damage she suffered.”
How Shenandoah
Battled the Storm
The actual damage to the Shen
andoah in dollars is between SBO,OOO
and SIOOO,OOO, the principal loss be
ing in the escape of expensive Heli
um gas. The ship’s blunt nose was
smashed; the steel plates covering
the joinings both fore and aft were
ripped away. The top blade of the
vertical rudder was snapped; the
fabric was torn in three places—and
gas excaped from two forward com
partments.
Despite these handicaps, imposed
when she was wrenched from the
mooring swivel, within five minutes
after being tossed crippled into the
raging elements the Shenandoah was
under control, had turned her face
into the storm to fight it out and in
eight hours returned to her hangar
under her own power.
From Secretary of Navy Denby,
down to the last man-jack of the
Shenandoah crew, there remains not
one doubt but that the ‘Queen of the
Sky” will be successful in the fight
to the North Pole this summer.
Repairs are being rushed here as
aeronautical chiefs go to northern
points to make final arrangements
for the trip.
Congressman French (Rep.), of
Idaho, chairman of the House Sub
committee on Naval Affairs, says:
“The Shenandoah accepted about
the most severe test that could be
conceived and she met it success
fully. Although there is a resolu
tion pending in the House calling on
the Navy for information as to the
reason for the proposed flight, it is
my opinion, that the unscheduled
test of the Shenandoah in that great
storm will be accepted by Congress
as evidence of the ability of the craft
to undertake and successfully accom
plish the polar voyage.”
May Claim New
Land for Upited State*
According to the Navy claim, the
trip is not a dash for the pole. In
stead, it is simply following the pol-
JJ
HP** fMn torn from ww. an
Jt>*p <4 propose* rood* i» flight i
icy of the Navy to explore. More
than one million square miles west
of the pole remain unexplored and
still a mystery.- If the Navy can
clear up this last geographical riddle
it will add a new chievement to its
list of peace-time accomplishments.
Two main approaches- are avail
able to the explorers. The Eastern
course via Greenland would be a hop
off of about 700 miles to the pole.
However, it is likely that the Shen
andoah will take the Western course
from Point Barrow, the northern
most point in Alaska and then to the
polar regions. A mooring mast will
be built at Point Barrow.
The Shenandoah will be equipped
with radio with a broadcasting range
of more than l’,ooo miles.
Reduced to briefest statements,
here are the four main objects of
the expendition:
One: Conquest of the North Pole
by air, dreamed of by the late Ad
miral Peary, discoverer of the North
Pole.
Twc: A trans-polar airship flight
) from Ameri.-a to Spitsbergen.
| Three: Exploration for the United
States, which may later claim it, of
an Arctic area of 1,000,000 square
miles, hitherto unknown to man.
Four: Observation of the phe
nomena of the North Magnetic Pole.
Above is a map showing Comman
der Bartlett’s route which the great
diigible will follow from Alaska to
Pole.
TRIP OVER FALLS
IN RUBBER BALL
PLANNED BY I EACH
Niagara, Falls, N. Y.—Bobby Ly
each, who went over the Horseshoe
falls in a steel barrel July 25, 1911
announced Friday that he is negot
iating with a rubber company for
the manufacture of a rubber 1-all in
which he plans to make a trip over
the falls early in June.
The ball will be of the thickness
of an ordinary large automobile tire
band will have a hammock inside in
which he will recline, Leach said. He
planed to enter the water a few
hundred feet above the falls on the
Canadian side.
Leach has attracted attention by
daring feats about the falls for sev
eral years. In addition to going
over the falls in a barrel he made a
parachute leap form the upper
bridge April. 21, 1921, and went
through the lower rapids and whirl
pool a in barrel June 28, 1911.

nDIABETES REMEDY PUT
WITHIN REACH OF ALL
Indianapols, Ind.—lnsulin, the
diabetes remedy developed by the
University of Toronto, was reduced
in price until it shou’d not cost the
consumer in excess of two cents per
unit acording to Eli Lilly & Co., the
official manufacturer of tile product
in the United States. This reduction
has been made possible by increas
ed production due to wider use of
insulin among physicians in their
practice.
1923 FARM PRODUCE
VALUE IS 12 BILLIONS
Washington, March s.—Crops, ani
mals raised and livestock products of
American farms were valued at $12,-
204,000,000 last year, the depart
ment of agriculture announced today
in a preliminary estimate. This was
$960,000,000 more than in 1922. The
total includes $9,953,000,000 for
crops, and $6,111,000,000 for animal
products, less an allowance of $3,-
860,000,000, the estimated • value of
crops fed to livestock.
Value of the vari(Ms crops was;
Cereals, $3,793,000,000; cotton lint
and seed, $1,769,000,000; hay and for
age, $1,480,000,000; vegetables, sl,-
089,000,000; fruit and fruit prodhets,
$681,000,000; farm forest products,

for planting clover, etc., $38,000,000;
flax fiber and seed $37,000,000, and
other crops, $132,000,000.
The distress of wheat growers is
strikingly shown, the department
said, by the 1923 wheat value esti
mate of $726,000,000, compared with
$874,000,000 in 1922 and with $2,-
080.000,000 in 1919.
Value of livestock products was:

27 PLAYS PROMINENT PART
IN WESLEYAN CAMRAIGN
Macon, Ga., March 13.—1 f numbers
mean anything, and there are super
stitious individuals who believe they
do, there must be an omen of great
portent hanging over the million
dollar Greater Wesleyan campaign.
The mystic number in this case is
“27.” It crept in gradually and with
out ostentation, until just a few days
ago some one realized that the num
ber had come to predominate al
most everything connected with the
campaign.
First of all, the opening date for
the campaign was set for March 27
and no one thought anything about
it. Then an individuel quota for each
Wesleyan alumna was decided upon,
and it was ?270. The quota was set
after purely mathematical delibera
tion.
Things went along merrily from
that time until a check of the list
of alumnae and former students was
made. It was then that the super
stitious began to sit up and take
notice. There were just 2700 names
in the files. That started some
ation are urged to send delegates to
figuring.
The seekers after portents sudden
ly discovered a lot more “27’s” at
tached to the campaign. It was
scheduled to be completed by April
27 and there were just 27 working
days included in the intensive cam
paign period.
Furthermore, the number of the
room in which campaign headquar
ters a-re located is “903” and multi
plying the “9” and the “3” gives
“273 again. Spurred to further in
vestigation by this discovery, the
researchers pounced upon the name
of the movement, “The Greater Wes
leyan Campaign,” and counted the
letters in it. There- their series
stopped, for only 26 letters could be
accounted for. By no trick of spell
ing, simplified or otherwise, could 27
letters be inserted. So it was decid
ed to let good enough alone.
Now the campaign workers are
waiting to learn whether or not “27”
is a lucky number. They hope it is.
MARCHEL O’SHIELDS WITH
FLEET IN WEST INDIES
Taking *part in the greatest peace
time maneuvers ever held by the
land, sea and air forces of the United
States, Marchel E. O’Shields, son of.
Mr. Charles O’Shields, of Duluth,
Gwinnett county, is now on duty
with a detachment of U. S. marines
in the West Indies. His name ap
pears on the official list of marines
with the maneuver forces in the
Caribbean.
The maneuvers began early in Jan
uary and will not be completed until
the last battleship returns to its
.home port in May or June. Pertain
problems in connection with the de
fense of the Panama canal and regu
lar battle practice by the ships of
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets are be
ing held. Many of the operations are
taking place in the vicinity of Cul
ebra, one of a small group of islands
in the Caribbean.
The U. S. marines will remain in
the West Indies for periods varying
from five weeks to several months,
certain units of the corps being as
signed to a variety of duties ashore
or on shps of the navy during the
operations.
Marchel joined the marine corps at
Atlanta, December 23, 1922, and is
now with the anti-aircraft division
on the island of Culebra. He will
return to his regular station, Quan
tico, Va., when the maneuvers are
over.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beauti
fully dark and luxuriant. Just a few
applications will prove a reflation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur rec
ipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get a bottle of
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound
at any drug store all ready for use.
This is the old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractiveness.
By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so naturally,
so evenly. You iust dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant
Drink Water to
Help Wash Out
Kidney Poison
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You, Begin
Taking Salts
When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore don’t get scared and pro
ceed to load your stomach with a lot of
drugs that excite the kidneys and irri
tate the entire urinary tract. Keep
your kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean, by flushing them with a
mild, harmless salts which helps to re
move the body’s urinous waste and stim
ulates them to their normal activity.
The function of the kidneys is to filter
the blood. In 24 hours they strain from
it 50G grains of acid and waste, so we
can readily understand the vital impor
tance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water —you can’t
drink too much; also get from any phar
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoon ful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia*. and has been
used for years to help clean and stimu
late clogged kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in the system so they are no
longer a source of irritation, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts rs inexpensive; can not in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, which everyone
should take now and then to help keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this; also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and back
ache. Rv all means have your physi
cian examine your kidneys at least twice
a yfar.
