Lieutenant Hoyt. V. S. N.. the sround
officer, had assembled on the field
force of more than $00 soldiers and
sailors ready for immediate action as
the K-34 circled lowrr and lower.
When she was only 500 feet from the
ground a huxe hawser was let fro from
under her nmr. Hrltish non-commis
sioned officers with American soldiers
and sailors shouted al efully as they
seised the rope and hung on.

The water ballast was dropped from
the forward end of the dlriRlM and
her nose tfpped. Then ene bescan to
descend. 'ive more guide lines were
dropped and landing parlies grasped
them as the water ballast was dropped
from the stern. In both operations at
bow and stern the landing crews were
drenched by the cascading water.
Major Scott directed all the details of
the landing and it was carried out
smoothly.
The hawsers were attached to con
crete blocks, two at each end and one
at cither side in the center. When the
great ship was safely anchored all
the ropes except the ones at her nose
were cut loose so she could swing wtth
the wind like a ship at anchor. The
landing crews wl'.l stand by all through
the nticht to hold her safe.
The first man to step "ashore" was
Major Scott. He obviously was tired
but happy. On his face was several
days' growth of beard and he showed
plainly the strain he had been under.
He wore the regulation air costume,
tinort and chunky and typically Brit
ish, the military skipper of the huge
airship shook hanaa with General
Lionel K. t. ttiarlton,
tache In the I'nilcd
waiting f'ir him. The greettng was
as typically Kngltsh as the appearance
of the commander. There was no dem
onstratlon and the two officers met
as casually as though the trip had
been across the Kngllah channel.

Brlgadler-Oeneral K. M. Maltland.
I. S. .. official observer for the Brit
ish air ministry, was the next to step
out of the car. He looked fresher than
his companions, for he had no duties to
perform on the way across except to
keep the log. His only regret seemed
to be that the 11-3 "had crused anil-
John Alcock and Harry Hawker, would
bulk large In the history of aviation
and would do much to further the ex
isting cordial relations between the
British and American navies.

England Pays for Itself.
LONDON, (Correspondences of the
Associated Press.) American army
motor transport in Kngland has no
cost the United States government any
thing for machines, according to fig
ores prepared at army headquarters
here. Astonishing prices have bee
paid here for machines the army has
placed on auction, touring cars I
scores of Instances bringing more than
the original cost, even though they
have seen rather hard usage fo
months.
The array purchased a number o
cars of a light popular type for $45
each and these have sold for as hlirh
as 11000 after being used eight montns.
Another machine the average purchas
ing price for which 'was S10S6 has
been absolutely amasing. Major J. C
Welter, head of the motor transport
work In the quartermaster departmen
here, told the Associated Press, a grea
deal higher than he would have darked
ask on straight sales.

WASHINGTON. July . Congratula
tions of the Lnited .States navy upon
the successful trans-Atlantic flight of
the British dirtcible R-34 were sent to

airship, and members of the R-24's i
crew by Secretary lantels today lmme- j
oiaiely upon receipt of advices that lite I
craft had landed safely in Mineola.
Naval officers' here had followed the
hlscory-tr.akir c flight of the dirigible
closely and made no attempt to con
ceal their ffreat satisfaction that the
representatives of the service w hich
recently honored Lieutenant-Commander
Reed and members of the crew of
the NC-- were able to effect the first
crossing; of the Atlantic by a lighter-ttan-a:r
craft.
Secretary Daniels In bis message to
alaor &coti asserted the achievement
ton. most of the rediscounts being; on
acceptances. There ta little fear, there
fore, that any ateps will be taken to
call loans on cotton In the south. The
truth of the matter is that most of the
cotton being; carried In the south Is
owned outright by the holders or by
dealers who are amply able to marajln
their cotton slocks. At one time this
sesson. In the midst of the depression
last winter, local banks had some heavy
loans outstanding on cotton, but much
of this coton has since been disposed
'of and the financial position of the cot
ton market has been much improved
as a consequence. There is no dis
tressed cotton ofs&ny aort on the mar
ket, and factors now have surplus funds
at their disposal which they would be
gisd to put out on cotton.
The only Important bearing that this
week's call sent out by the federal re
serve board at Washington baa on the
cotton market la the suggestion that
the government authorities are becom
ing alarmed over speculative tenden
cies, which may be going too far. Much
of the speculation now going on In cot
ton as well as In other commodities is
profiteering, pure and simple. As com
modity values are shoved higher and
higher. Industrial 'unrest becomea ,
greater and greater, and even here in I
the south, labor troubles are the excep
tion rather than the rule.
If President Wilson, when he returns
from abroad, will only put his ear to
the ground, he .will hear rumblings as
a result of the hich cost of living that
may have more significance politically
than all the debates In the senate over
the leasue of nations. Right here In

Not yet -1 years old and with nearly
two years of continuous service at the

Numerous reports of drug store rob

lence of many "dopeheads" in Louis
ville has demanded the attention of
government agents.
In picking their agents to catch the
abnormal, sly drug user, the govern
ment is giving -preference to men who
have at one time been addicted to drugs
but who have been cured. Experiments
have proven that these men are bet
ter able to combat "dope" than the in
experienced detective who has never
known the 6ensa0on of a draw on an
opium pipe or "shot in the arm.
Government agents say Louisville is
one of the largest Inland "dope" cen
ters in the United States. Most of the
large "dope towns" are around the
border, where the precious "stuff" can
be more easily obtained. Investigation
has shown that most of Louisville
"dopes" are negroes. During the last
few months many negro "dope Joints"
have been raided.

not become accustomed to his phrases

All "done" is known as "the stuff.
Government agents say. "Snow" is the
white, nowderv form of cocaine, and
their used is called a "snowbird." "Hop"
is a name applied to opium, and the
victim of the drug is sometimes called
a "hophead." "Dust" or "coke" are
titles applied to V-trious forms of
"dope. A "pill must be dissoivea in
water before it can be used. When a

"full of dope." They had saved small
quantities sent them by friends on the
outside, until they had saved enough
for a "spree." The drug had been smug

beneath postage stamps. Most women
of the underworld are more or less ad

agents say.
