Germany’s Graf Zeppelin is at pres

will exceed the Graf Zeppelin in site.
But the largest aircraft ever design
ed are now being built for the United
States Navy—two super - Zeppelins
with a gas capacity of 6,600,000 cubic
feet each.
The relative size of these monsters
of the air may be imagined by com
parison with ths present LosAngeles
with 2,600,000 cubic feet, and Graf
Zeppelin with 8,700,000 cubic fe e t
The new American ships will have
a maximum speed of about 86 miles
an hour, with a cruising radius of be
tween 6,000 and 8,000 miles without
refueling. Each will carry a number
of airplanes which may be launched
while in flight.
These two great ships promise to
be the monarchs of the air for some
time to come— until Uncle Sam or
someone else builds a bigger one.

Any and all means whereby the ap

mobile accidents may be le^senad de
serves the earnest consideration of the
motoring public. The best braina of
the country are being devoted to this
great problem.
Among the innovations of the last
few years which tend to minimize the
dangers of traffic is the all-steel auto
mobile body, whidh by its great
strength and rigidity has already
demonstrated its worth as an aid to
safety.
Edward G. Budd of the manufac
turing company which bears his name
announces that six million automo
biles, or about one-fourth of all mo
tor cars now in service, are equipped
with all-steel bodies made by his Arm;
that more than 170 repair stations es
pecially equipped to serve their own
ers have been established in principal
cities, and that this service will be
rapidly extended.
While a steel body will not prevent
collisions and other accidents, it will
serve to protect in a great measure
the occupants from serious injury,
just as the all-steel Pullman has prov
ed its superiority over the old wooden
coach.

In spite of the preponderance of
jazz and other trivial music on the
air, Walter Damrosch believes that
radio audiences are rapidly forming
a taste for symphonic and other high
class programs.
He has come to thia conclusion from
the many thousands of letters he has
received from those who have enjoy
ed his concerts by a symphony or
chestra during the past few years, and
the great increase in these expres
sions of approval which have come to
him during recent months. He says:
“From the first I was confident the
radio would bring about a new era in
the history dt symphonic music in
this country, but I had no idea that
the results would become apparent
so quickly.”
Several of America’s finest sym
phony orchestras, grand opera com
panies and concert bands have been
heard on the air regularly during the
past season, all contributing tremend
ously to the development of a better
appreciation of good music on the
part of the general public. We should
have even more such programs in the
future.

The old question of whether a false
hood is ever justified is brought to
mind by the death of Mrs. Minna
Preiskel in Lodi, N. J., recently at
the age of 72. A izejies of falsehoods
had cheered her c j / age for more than
ten years.
Mrs. Preiskel was critically ill when
her son, Robert, was killed in action
in France on March 26, 1918. Doc
tors warned that if she were told the
sad news it would kill her. She was
never told.
Her family caused a letter to be
sent to her, supposedly from her son,
telling her that he wass employed in
France. Each week a letter written
in the United States and sent to
France to be remailed to the mother
was received and read to her, telling
of her boy’s imagined doings abroad.
In all 520 of these spurious letters
were received by the waiting invalid
who until the last had hopes of seeing
her son again.
Similar “white lies” have prevent
ed mental anguish in thousands of
cases the world .over. Who can say
with assurance that it was wrong to
tell them?
