High aviation officials said that
It seems unlikely the government

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

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.

At the present time R. 100 re
quires complete overhaul and re

12 months. At the end of that time
a cautious rc-beginning of test flig

with helium Instead of inflammable
hydrogen gas, may be expected. The

The officers of R. 100, headed by

duty. Securing actual experience Is
the task facing the Air Ministry and
assistance from the United States

"Sayings banks and savings depos

and congress," Wallace said, "enact
such les'tslalion as will compell the
segregation of savings and commer

"I would call your attention to
the fact that during the ten year

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.

Princess Elizabeth nearly lao
years ago.
An album, containing two copy
books, was used by Princess Eliza-

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

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,

"True honour Is the bright sun

souls to noble actions. It elevates
our thoughts, dignifies our lives,
and points every deed towards
Heaven, the places of Its birth."
