FOOD
H E late J. Ogden Armour once
boasted publicly that he in
tended to control the world’s food
supply. The other day his estate
was settled in Chicago.
There
wasn’t enough money left to pay
debts, by some $2,000,000.
In Ogden Armour’s time it might
have been possible for one man to
send the price of food up or
down as he willed. I t is impossible
today, and it will be forever im
possible when the food producers of
the nation fully avail themselves of
the opportunity to control their own
markets which is open to them un

DIRIGIBLES
ir p l a n e s
stir man’s pride in
humanity’s achievement of what
A
the birds have always known. Air
ships like the Los Angeles or the
Graf Zeppelin, stir the imagination
with something like awe. They re
semble nothing else on earth. They
might be visitors from another
planet
I t it possible that the discovery
that man can ride through the air
suspended from a babble of gas will
prove in a hundred years to be more
important than the invention of the
airplane. Dirigibles will get bigger
and bigger, safer and safer. Already
they can navigate where planes are
forced down. A Zeppelin 1,200 feet
long is being built at Akron. That
i t larger than the largest water
borne ship.
The dirigibles pf the future w ill
. bear the same relation to the air-
pf&ne that the motorbus does to the
ordinary passenger automobile, or
that the ocean liner does to the
speea-ooat. rem aps a comoination
of the principles of the two types
of^aircraft may some day displace
