AKRON, (). The king of the
elves, in the old fairy tales, sent his
pixies and gnomes and dwarfs out
into the wide world to seek enouuh
nightingales' tongues or bluebirds'
( breasts to ho woven into a magic
carpet for the king's daughter, the
lovely princess.
1 'This modern workaday world
seems eaons away from the-time of
fairies, hut in this city, perhaps tho
jhuslest industrial town in the coun
try, a modern fairy tale is being
lived which even the buzz and drone
)f modern machinery cannot
; drown.
j Hundreds of girls work in the
great Ooudyear Hubber company
here doing nothing but inspecting
hundreds of thousands of cattle tis
sues in order that the dirigibles,
those fantastic birds of the air. may
ride safely from ocean to ocean. .
Can't Substitute for Nature
1 Nearly a hundred girls are now
employed searching out perfect cat
tle inner tissues for new gas cells
for the navy dirigible Los Angeles.
It takes tissues from l.imO.otu)
steers to mako cells and envelope
for the Los Angeles. 1
Science has spent hundreds nnd
thousands of dol!urs,'suys J. K. Kel
ley, foreman of the skin room oT
the big plant, in n vain attempt to
! find a synthetic "something Just as
Hood" for' 'Hid famous "goldbeater
cloth." which is nothing but the
sing of the lower intestine of cat-I
tie.
I Put the old-fashioned bossy cow
thas won out over grave men in
their laboratories. No Kod sub
stitute has yet been found.
I And the great ships ut the nir
.fly heel-use thousands and millions
of cattle have died, giving their
vital tissues to these inanimate
, "birds" of wood and steel and
'aluminum and silk. r
j "Goldbeater cloth" was known
to the alchemists of old. Medieval
.goldsmith knew Its worth. Cel
'lini himself hammered out his fam
ous sheets of gold, thin as silk, from
which he fashioned the most beau
tiful objects of gold the worhLhaHjtn the Los Angeles, and about 1
ever seen, by placing the preclousjsections t each cell. Since !
.metai between what the undents teriorntlon without the gas iufla
'called "s.teer stomachs." medical j lion starts almost at once, each
(science not yet having decided jcell is sent to tho hangar as soon
(where the stomach actually began as finished and Is installed nt

much knifing and brawling went
on over the dekd body of an old
cow or steer 'as over a gold claim
Itself. The prospectors wanted to
get their case knives Into the body,
rip out the precious tissue, and
have "gold-beater cloth," the best
substance known to encase the ore
and dust while it was pounded to
yield up the precious gold. F.very
particle clung to the "steer stom
ach" and no amount of pounding
made it give way.
One of Chicago's greatest pack
ing houses sends direct to the Good
year skin room this intestinal tissue
from every beef butchered In its
yards. The skins are sent in
hunches of a hundred packed in
huge tuns filled wiwi salt, several
hundred bunches to a barrel.
From 'JO.nno to 100.000 skins are
received each week.
Vse a Million Skins
About 100 girls have been work
ing on the new lining for the Los
Angeles for the past tteven months.
A total of 15,000 yards of fabric
must be lined with the cattle in
testinal casings before the job Is
done. About one million skins will
be used, meaning that one million
dead steers are represented in the
big blimp." The cost of Iho nklns
alone will be about $85,000.
The process' of transforming
i,it,. iiri-n.io
tphiiu cattle tissues
gas cells Is simpler than It Jsl
speedy.
The ureal kegs of salted tissues
roll In from the packing house
uai iv. 1 nev are wasneu. sorieo.
Inspected, washed again, inspected
again and are then sent to the
scraping tables, where dozens of
girls do nothing all day but scrape
away fatty deposit from the silk
like tissue.. A speedy worker can
scrape 400 a day.
After more wn siting a nd more
Inspection under powerful lights
the skins are taken to a big loom
where they are applied to a rub
berized fabric, wetted down at an
exact angle to pennlL proper
shrinkage when dried.
One girl can lay about 250
skins a day. There are 1 4 cells

In our pnctidiiig articles on
Contract we ronsldc'ed -original
No Trump bids of ono and sult
blds of one: we now come to ori
ginal bids of iihn than one, ami
shall first take up -.hi' bidding of
two or more No Trumps by lenl
er. I i 1 't I i
In Auction mi Initial bid of (wo
No Trumps Is rarely made bo
cause the partner may huve. a
Major which win work much bet
ter than tho No Trump, iir which
ease it is generally advisable to
permit hint t" bid it Instead of
shutting him oat by an initial bid
of two; but In Auction Hrldge it
is not necessary to bid for game
iu order to make it. while in Con
tract that is an essential. In Aue-
Hon a bid of two No Trumps is a
distinct request to u partner not to
lake It out with a suit - Major or
Minor, weak or st roug unless the
hand Im u veritable I'retik; but in I
contract II- i huportunt Unit tho
strength of the initial bidders
hand should be. shown so that the
partner will know when it Is safe
tor him to make a jump, so the
two No Trump does not curry the
Auction message ami partner with
strength and length bids three of
a suit nver 1t unhesitatingly, thus
giving the No Trnmper a choice
between bidding lor game In that
suit or No Trump.
When we come to th; question,
of what strength Is required for
the' partner of a No Trump bidder
to raise or Jump the No Tiuuip to
a higher figure, it will be pointed
out that less Htrength is required
to Jump a bid from two to three ,
than to jump n bid from one to-j
Two No Trumps should noi,

; lH prepared to have his partner
1 jump to three wllh one Ace or a
Uim,i conituK' si v. The Initial
lw No Trump bid irtually says:
'partner, unless you have a suit
lyu wnnt to iHiw. please bid three
tjsjn Trumps if you have anything i
I which reasonably can be expected
!.,. h(,ni n, make game.' in con-
seqi!
ence of this invitation the two
I count previously mentioned In
these articles, viz., Ace 4. King .
' Queen 2. mid .lark I. Kvep with
thoc stoppers and the "seventeen"
strength, an Initial bid of two Is
not obligatory. To bid two No
Trumps with ' only three suits
! slopped, the hand should count u
bit higher than the four-suit-stopped
minimum of seventeen.
This subject is so important that
it will be continued in tomorrow"!

The Finest
Watch
Needs Cleaning
An expensive, accurate time-keeping watch is
a small and intricate piece of machinery that
performs in fine style if given a chance.
Over a period of years in being carried abound
in the pocket this watch will naturally collect
small particles of dust and become, gummed up
when the oil hardens.
It's economy to have your watch cleaned and
really necessary, too. f ,.
