THURSliJY, MAY 21, l!Ml THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON PAGE TWENTY-THREE BRITISH FAVOR ! AKRON TRIP BY DERIGEBLE CREW I union. (IP) Squadron Loader R E Booth and other British airship ninci'rs may be Invited to the luted Stales to participate In the til.il U-sts of the Z-RS4. The Air Sin istry as understood to favor nh an Invitation, which probably !!! came from the United Slates Navy. Britain's sole large airship, the R. 100, lies In the bin shed at Car. dlimton awaiting the government doibion as to the future airship policy. Officials of the Air Ministry are anxious that airship officers caln as much actual flying know. ledge as possible. That was why . B'Kith boarded the Graf Zeppelin --during the German Bhip's recent llL'ht to Egypt and the Holy Land Although It Is almost certain that Booth and the first officer of the R. 100 will Journey to the United States, coxswains, meteorological otlicers, riggers and engineers may also go to see the Z-R.S.4 and her sister ship. High aviation officials said that It seems unlikely the government will decide to abandon the airship urogram completely. Originally the building of two Elilis, the K. lot and ft. 100, was sanctioned largely to ensure that the failure of one ship should not end the experiment. What was not foreseen, of course, was a disaster fit such magnitude. Involving In calculable losses in personnel aa well as material. The disaster to R 101 has left many great gaps in Britain's equipment of experienced airship men. The R. 100 has flown successfully to Canada and back, enduring bad weather and making the quickest airship Journey on record across the Atlantic. The R. 100 has a cubic capacity of slightly more than 5,000.000 cubic feet and a gross lift of over 156 tons, The ship Is 709 feet long, has a max imum height of 133 feet. The shin Is considerably smaller than the Z-R. S.4 being built at Akron. The ship Hearing completion for the United States Navy has a capacity of some 6.500,000 cubic feet and a gross lilt exceeding 180 tons. At the present time R. 100 re quires complete overhaul and re lilting. This work will cost, accord ing to competent estimates, nearly S.SOO.OOO, and would require about 12 months. At the end of that time a cautious rc-beginning of test flig hts, the ship being Inflated probably with helium Instead of inflammable hydrogen gas, may be expected. The helium will probably be secured lrom the United States. The officers of R. 100, headed by the captain. Squadron Leader R. s. Booth, are still available for duty. Securing actual experience Is the task facing the Air Ministry and assistance from the United States may solve the problem. RANGERS KILL COYOTES TO PROTECT PARK DEER i 1 ' i AutttitrJ frtu Hit.

"I would call your attention to the fact that during the ten year period 1921 to 1931, about 600 com mercial banks failed, or about 20 per cent. In the same period, but two mutual savings banks failed." all times was hazardous. He served as a mediator between red man's scalping parties and white man's encroaching plow.

The 10-year-old widow of the U.S. INDIAN SCOUT Lawlon, Okla., (IP) The loyalty and valor of Ooombi, last and prob ably the most famous of the South west Indian scouts, have received official recognition by the United States government, 23 years after his death. It was cunning Goombi, serving as a government scout, who uner ringly led column after column of white men into the vast west.

SHAW'S DELAYS READING PROOF WORRY PRINTER London (IPi A card from George Bernard Shaw on which GBS de scribed him as "my collaborator," Is prized among the numerous valu able souvenirs of William Maxwell, printer of the works of Thomas Hardy, snaw, Kipling, waipoie ana other distinguished writers. Maxwell, who last year was pres ident of the Federation of Master Printers, told the United Press how he happened to receive the unique Shavian compliment. Shaw had rejected as unsatisfact ory several models embodying his own ideas as to now lus intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism should be printed. Max well then produced his own design for the book and sent It to the famous author. It was accepted with the following comment: "'You've solved all my difficulties and are going to make me a perfect book." "And when the book was present ed," explained Maxwell. "GBS was good enough to send me a copy autographed and Inscribed: 'To Wil liam Maxwell, my collaborator In the making of this book'." Discussing the amount of work entailed In the printing of Shaw's works Maxwell explained that 20 men were at present employed ex clusively on Shaw assignments: "His books are always being re printed," he.. added. Then, smiling: "But you never know what comes next with Shaw," he continued. "For Instance, there Is the case of his collected edition. It was begun more than ten years agol One thing after another Interposed First his. Bt. Joan interrupted the progress. My compositors had been occupied with ths setting up of the collected edition for months, but GBS would not look at any proofs while he was writing, then rehears ing and producing St. Joan. When this was all over we breathed a sigh of relief, for work on the collected edition would now be resumed . but not for long. -jne oav, uniaw sat down to re ply to a letter from his slster-ln-law. 'After I had written the first few lines,' he told me, 'I knew I would write a volume. It was the In telligent Woman's Guide.' Again the collected edition had to be shelved; after which work was once more resumed. But It was too good to be true. One morning I received a card from GBS: 'Last night I slept well,' he wrote, 'When I woke up tills morning everything was bright and sunshiny so I started a new play. What price your collect ed edition now?' That was "The Ap ple Cart.' Only after this produc tlon did GBS consent to resume work on the edition to which about two-thirds of the volumes have now been published." Maxwell tells many good stories about famous authors and he has a collection of authors' proofs, man uscripts, autograph letters and books which Is believed to be unique. Among these are two charming letters from Thomas Hardy about Mary Queen of Scots and Bonnie Annie Laurie, written not long before his death, following Maxwell's last visit to the great English novelist. Athens is to have a criminal In vestigation department modeled along the lines of Scotland Yard by an officer of that organization TINY PRINCESS USES COPY BOOK 150 YEARS OLD London i Little Princess Eliz abeth Is laboriously scrawling In a copv-book which was once used by Princess Elizabeth nearly lao years ago. An album, containing two copy books, was used by Princess Eliza- abeth, daughter of King George III, and her brother. Frederick, Duke of York and Albany. These, by the consent of the Duchess of York, were presented to the pres. cut princess by E. A. Barnard, of Cambridge, on the recent occasion of Elizabeth's fifth birthday. The album was recovered as the result of a broadcast appeal by Barnard some time ago, for the pres. ervatlon of old documents and pa pers, which an continually being destroyed by people who have no Idea of their blstorlo value. The specimens which the beauti fully written, presumably with quill pens, on hand-made paper, arc typ ical copy-book quotations, and that of the young Princess Elizabeth reads; "Fortune takes away nothing but what she gave. But she gives not virtue. Therefor virtu Is a good which she cannot mske away." The princess made a mlstak In writing "make" for "take." The Duke of Yorks specimen Is also very nicely done, and in his case is signed Frederick, "April 11, 1771." It reads: "True honour Is the bright sun which warms and nourishes noble souls to noble actions. It elevates our thoughts, dignifies our lives, and points every deed towards Heaven, the places of Its birth." Both sheets together with an en graving of the Princess Is enclosed In a vellum portfolio.
