- Sometimes it seems as, if oui' customs service suffers from
a plain dearth of good sense.. - Recently the liner Belgenland
docked in New York after, a world tour, i Customs men
promptly seized all the souvenirs the crew hud collected, toss
ed them into a trunk . andi took them to the customs houKe.
loiter, when it was made plain that the sailors were entitled
to these things, the customs men took them back and dumped
them on the deck of the ship. Some of them were smashed,'
some turned up missing, and since no tags had been put on
the rest it was almost impossible for any individual" to Iden
tify his own property. A stunt like that is just plain dumb.1
A littlo ordinary brains and common thoughtfulness would
have saved the Ilclgcnlnnd's men from a lot of uncalled-for
annoyance, ,

when the other nations represented showed a real desire, to f lt'in; that tile
see the Hoovor-Gibson formula develop into a practical step
for armament reduction. Experts the world over are im
pressed with the "equivalent tonnage" formula which; wna
suggested by Mr. Hoover as & new method of determining
military value of naval units. That in itself is a promise of
early action on the part of tho other powers and will encour
age Washington to exert all its influence in the international
sphere to that end. Ilhat the matter is not to drift along in
the usual fashion of Geneva discussions is indicated by the
fact that the president hns in mind a new initiative to fur
ther discussions.
! COMA1RRCIAL TRAVEL KY DHtlGIBLK
' Once more the dirigible as a means of fast long-distance
commercial transport is suggested this time, by the proposal
to operate a regular mail nnd passenger service between Los
Angeles and Honolulu, ultimately extending the line to Mil
nilii nnd Tokyo. ;:r ' ; f , ; i 'V- ,:". !''. .-,
The matter is now before the U. S. government for con
sideration. What' is needed chiefly is government endorse
ment and assistance, as typified in the letting of mail con
tracts. Sponsoi-s of the proposal say that they will go ahead
with their plans if the government agrees to send mail by
their ships. .' ( .
', Two monster dirigibles, sister ships to the. ones now being
built by Goodyear at Akroii for the U. 8, navy, would be used.
They would carry nearly 100 passengers and between five
nnd ten tons of mail. The dirigibles, it is estimated, could
easily cut the best steamship time in half, . , ; ,
i For a good many years tlie palutial air liner has been a
dream thjit has tormented the minds of imaginative folk.
Many, many books -most of them forgotten a year after
they were written have speculated on tho subject There is
n fascination about the thought of, that kind of travel 11
fascination even greater than that which attends the air
plane. ' ' ' '"
Hut there have also been plenty of doubtei. Many stu
dents of the problem have doubted that the dirigible will ever
be very useful in that manner. , Over land, it does not save
enough time to bo worth while; over water, it is still a trifle
unsafe, and it is expensive to operate.
: Nevertheless, the idea persists. The British plan two
long-distance commercial dirigible lines. Now an American
lino is proposed. It may yet be thiyt travel by dirigible will
lie a commonplace. Far stranger things have happened in tho
history, of transportation. ;

the fact that the millionth Frigidaire was built to
day. Our factories are running night and day at
maximum capacity and orders are greater than at
any time in history of the business. This definite
ly indicates the overwhelming leadership of Frig
idaire over all other makes of electric refrigerators
combined in both household and commercial field.
Thank you for part you played in securing this
record breaking volume. Let's take full advant

would be impossible if this new car were made by anyone but Ford.
The low price of the new Ford and its exceptional performance
are the result of manufacturing practices and economies as
unusual as the car itself. The new Ford is more than a new
automobile. It is the advanced expression of a wholly new idea
in modern, economical transportation. ;
