BRITAIN WAS CONVINCED
It is inevitable that the disaster which overtook the dirig
ibio Macon should have an important bearing upon the gov
ernment’s policy with respect to the construction of any
more lighter-than-air craft for the Navy Department in the
future. Obviously, the development of the dirigible is still
in a highly experimental stage. Against the remarkable
success of the Graf Zeppelin in its regular flights across the
South Atlantic must be pitted a long series ol di asters, many
of which have involved not only destruction of the ship, but
also heavy loss of life. The British government already has
concluded that after all considerations have been taken into
account, these risks are not justified.
It was the crash of the dirigible R-101 in October. 1930,
that led the British government to discontinue its experi
mentation with such ships. The R-101, built with public
funds, was on its maiden voyage to India to demonstrate the
practicability of tying the British empire together by air,
when it was destroyed in a storm. Nearly fifty persons were
killed in the accident, including the Minister for Air. Al
though a sister ship, the R-100, already had completed a suc
cessful flight to Canada a few months earlier, the government
ordered that it be junked and the frame was flattened out
with a steam roller.
Even before the disaster to the Macon, American ex
perience with dirigibles had been worse than the British
from the point of view of losses sustained. The evidence is
now overwhelming against a resumption of these costly and
dangerous experiments.—Kansas City Times
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Selfishness holds back progress.
You should boost your city.
Citizens who have boosted their home city’ along busi
ness lines usually have something to show ior it.
In many cities the organized business men have been
busy. They have gone after the business of the home city
and surrounding country in a business-like manner.
The organized business men of live cities are encourag
ing agriculture, aiding and assisting production and const
ruction and encouraging and helping ambition.
They know that what helps the home city helps them.
These cities profit by the mistakes of other cities.
There is no activity so creative and productive of good
results as just good common-sense boosting.

PEACE HIGHWAY LINKS TWO CONTINENTS
While we keep our attention fixed on more spectacular
things, one of the greatest public works projects ever de
vised by human beings is slowly coming nearer to comple
tion.
This is the great motor highway which will, some day,
link Alaska with Agentina and provide a smooth, up-to-date
roadway for tourists all the way up and down the two Am
erican continents.
It will be 15,000 miles long, when completed. Of this
length, some 8,500 miles will lie north of the Panama Canal;
and it is noteworthy that all but about 1,800 miles of this
North American section is now passable for automobiles.
Nearly half of the route from Fairbanks, Alaska, to the
United States is in service. Meanwhile, to the south, autos
can proceed from Texas to Mexico City without trouble,
and more than a third of the route from Texas to Panama is
open.
So, slowly but steadily this tremendous highway takes
shape; and not the least striking thing about it is the fact
that it is coming into being for a different set of reasons than
anv of the famous highways of the old days.
The greatest road ever built, it will exist simply to give
people a chance to broaden their horizons. Nowadays the
tourist, and not the soldier or the merchant, is king.—Daily
