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.

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, $318,000,000; tobacco, $209,000,000; legume seeds, $175,000,000; sugar and syrup crops, $142,000,000; seeds for planting clover, etc., $38,000,000; flax fiber and seed $37,000,000, and other crops, $132,000,000.

THE NEWS-HERALD, LewreeceeflU, Georgi* 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.

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. mother kills child WITH TOBACCO DOSE GIVEN AS MEDICINE Glenfalls, N.

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.
