“AIR GARAGE”
CREASED BY
NAVAL ORDER
LAKEHURST, N. J., July 22 (by As
sociated Press).—The navy depart
ment has ordered an increase of 200
- feet in the length of the mammoth
“air garage” for dirigible balloons
which is being built here, it was an
nounced today.
This hangar will be the largest in
the world, big enough to hold two
trans-Atlantic liners the size of the
Leviathan. Plans for it originally
were drafted when the navy depart
ment contracted for the R-38, a dirig
ible one-third larger than the R-34,
which flew to the United States from
England last year.
According to the revised specifica
tions. the hangar will be 1,000 feet
* long, 318 feed wide and 200 feet high.
When completed, which probably will
be next spring, the big “air garage”
and its auxiliary power house, machine
shops and officers’ quarters will cost
about $3,577,000, it was stated.
The hangar will have electrically
operated double doors, 177 by 136 feet
each, which when opened wide will
■Ci'th the width of the structure con
stitute a windbreak of nearly 600 feet.
Satisfactory progress has been real
ized to date in the hangar’s construc
tion, it was stated. The site has been
cleared of pine and scrub oak stumps
by two marine corps tractors, designed
for hauling seven-inch guns through
Flanders mud,, but now operated as
stump pullers. The foundation and
bases for the steel arches of the roof
have been laid and several arches
mounted.
About 400 enlisted men and civilians
are employed on the work, which is
being performed under the civil engi
neering corps of the navy.
“OTHER MEN’S WIVES”
BE REPEATED TONIGHT;
“PEPPY POLLY” FRIDAY
Dorothy Dalton appears again to
night in the modern society play
“Other Men’s Wives.” Strongly dram
atic in plot, it keeps you guessing un
til the end, when the girl, who was
reared in luxury, then left destitute
#t>y the death of her father, proves
that in spite of lack of training and ed
ucation along practical lines, she can
fight her own -way, and win honorable
independence. There are many scenes
tensely emotional, and Miss Dalton
handles these superbly, and as effec
tively as she meets the lighter situ
ations. She is past mistress both of
drama and comedy, and her work
throughout this picture is especially
fine.- She has splendid support and
the production affords enjoyable en
tertainment.
Tomorrow night dainty Dorothy
Gish in “Peppy Polly.” Did you ever
know a reform school that needed re
forming? And did you attempt to per
form the job? Well, Dorothy did.
And thereby hangs this quaint little
comedy drama and, in short, is syr
cnomous for pep.

STREAMSARE
RESTOCKED
WITH BEAVER
CONCORD, N. H., July 22 (by Asso
ciated Press).—An effort to re-estab
lish the beaver on the streams and
meadows of the White mountains
country from which it long since dis
appeared is being made by the Society
for the Protection of New Hampshire
Forests.
i The Lost River reservation is again
the haunt of the dam-building animals,
four beavers having been liberated
there as the first step in an effort to
return the amphibian architect to its
i former usefulness. Within the steep
walls of the Kinsman Notch, through
which tumbles Beaver brook, a mis
nomer in recent years, the beaver will
| have its favorite topography in which
j to propagate and work under the foot
! hills of Hoosilauke mountain.
I
The animals set free were the gift
| of the state forester of Minnesota,
i who selected them from a breeding
I colony at a state park situated at the
j headwaters of the Mississippi. The
beaver are descendants of a family in
troduced to Minnesota from Canada,
which have multiplied and prospered
j there, and are now contributing to re
i establishment of the species in an
| other state.
IF BADGER ISN’T BADGER
WHAT IS A BADGER?
LONDON, July 22 (by Associated
Press).—R. I. Pocock, curator of mam
mals to the London Zoological Society,
has discovered what he says is a
“great hoax upon the Americans whc
for more than 400 years have believed
they had badgers on their continent.’
An American badger, brought here tc
I make an “instructive comparison,’’
i was put in a cage with some British
| badgers. The British badgers slept
' all day, the American badger all night
j Dr. Pocock investigated and decided
; the American animal was neither bad
ger, skunk, stoat, nor weasel. He said
its skull and teeth were “wrong” foi
a badger, it lacked the scent gland
and its resemblance to the badger was
so superficial he considered it of £
totally different “tribe.”

HONOLULU, July 22 (by Associated
Press).—Robinson Crusoe’s cave may
soon be converted into sleeping quar
ters for globe trotters, according to
Prof. W. A. Bryan, vice president of
the Hawaiian Historical Society. The
Chilian government, Mr. Bryan said,
is considering creating a national park
and tourist resort on the island of
Juan Fernandez, famed as the abode
of Daniel De Foe’s literary character.
Modern hotels and other attractions
would be erected on the island, accord
ing to plans being considered. The
beauty and verdure of the island, Mr. :
Bryan says, is similar to the oldest
part of the Hawaiian islands.
Two nights were spent by Professor
Bryan recently in Robinson Crusoe’s
cave. The professor is at present in
the South seas seeking proof of his
theory of an immense submerged con
tinent in the Pacific.
