TWO NEW BRITISH DIRIGIBLES
WILL CARRY 100 PASSENGERS
LONDON-BOMBAY IN FIVE DAYS
_ ■
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Apr. 2.—Plans for Brit
ain’s two mammoth super-Zeppelins
are now so far advanced that it is ex- j
pected that the construction of the dir- j
igibles will have been started by the
middle of this year.
It is learned that the construction
plans are almost complete, and that
the designers are only waiting for the
necessary metereological data before
given orders for the work to be start
ed.
This data will be obtained by R-33,
an older British airship, which is in
process of being fitted for a cruise to
the Near East this year.
The skeletons of the airships will
be built of stainless steel, and each
separate part will be capable of bear
ing enormous strains. They will be
equipped with seven engines, each ca
pable of developing GOO horse-power, ,
and burning heavy gas oil fuel instead
of gasoline. This will not only reduce
to a minimum the danger of tire, hut
will considerably reduce running costs.
It is anticipated that the airships will
have a speed of between seventy and
eighty miles an hour.
Accommodation is to be provided j
aboard the airships for a hundred pas
sengers. They will have every com
fort and every luxury as in an ocean
liner, and it is expected that for the j
first time in the history of the airship
passengers will be able to smoke. The
sleeping accommodation will be most
luxurious, and will be on a separate !
deck from the smoking and living
rooms.
When completed the airships will
first be used on flights from London
to Bombay, India: Airship stations
are to be constructed at Cardington,
the starting point, and at Cairo and
Bombay. The stations will be equip
ped with repair sheds, mooring masts, ;
and commodious hotel accommodation ,
for passengers.
The trip to India will be carried out j
in two stages, and will occupy about
five days or a saving of ten days on
the present means of travel.
With the ultimate extension of the 1
airship's range to Australia it will he !
possible to reach Australia from Eng-;
land in about eleven days instead of j
27 days needed at the present time.
Fare Is S275
The total cost of the two craft will
he about §2,500,000, half of which is
being borne by the British Air Min
istry and half by private interprises.
When in use for commercial purposes
they will carry a crew of twenty-five
including stewards’ and other person
al servants.
The fare from jUmdon to Bombay
will be aboutr S27t> per passenger and
a charge of three cents will, it is be
lieved be made for the carriage of
each ounce of mail.
Electricity will be used throughout
the lighting of the airships, and the
kitchens will be equipped with elec
trical cooking apparatus on the prin
ciple of those used in the ZR-3.
Plans are now under consideration
for feeder aeroplane services to link
up nearby parts with the airship’s
route.
Prof. Kurt Viesiner of Zurich,
Switzerland, has invented a simple

his invention to persons in the
United States, but declined to give
their names.

COP GETS PACKAGE OF
SAFETY PINS FOR VALOR
IN NABBING A “BURGLAR”
PORTLAND, April 2.—Down at po
lice headquarters a policeman whose
name is being carefully guarded, re
ceived a package of safety pins as a
reward for his valor in guarding (he
city property.
He was walking along one night
when he spied a man acting in a crude
and suspicious manner in the gloom of
an alley.
The man might possibly be a burg
lar mused the officer and for the sake
of safety for all concerned, shrilled
his whistle and presently two other
policemen joined him. With catlike
tread and revolvers held ready they
advanced up the alley, three doughty
breasts all in line. They came upon
the shadow.
"Stick 'em up,” they ordered in uni
son. “No monkey business, mind.”
The burglar stuck up his hands and
things began to happen. Shivering a
bit, for the night was cold, the “burg
lar” appealed to the dumfounded cops.
"Say, lias one of you guys gotta
safety pin. My suspenders broke and
I sneaked down here to fix them, but
they’re too short to splice.”
No pins were available until one of
the officers remembered he had a hair
pin. The trousers were fixed and the
victors and vanquished returned to the
thorofare. The next day the package
of safety pins came with the'headquar
ters’ mail.
To keep people off the grass and
prevent flirting, 50 women have
been added to the Iluenos Ayres
police force.
Some natives of Isabel Island ii
the Pacific live in trees, among the
branches of which rude huts are
built.
FOUND—a bunch of keys. If you
have lost any keys the passed six
months, apply at the Gateway office.
We have a half dozen bunches which
have been turned in.
