Proud man thinks, "Poor
' Susi ; she did not even know she
wtn floating through the
clouds in an airship. Man set
her ailing, 'she had nothing to
i oy about it."
What about us, Susi's second
cousins? "Not one in 10,000
white men realizes that he is
afloat in space, on an airship,
Tthe earth. God set us float
ing, as Susi's owners set her
' flying.
It's a wonderful airship that
we inhabit, heavier than if
made of solid steel, whirling
round and. round, its slowest
speed 1000 miles an hour, on
its axis, its speed around the
siui more than 1,500,000 miles
a day, (0,000 miles an hour,
1000 miles a minute.
Ours is a. real airship, going
off through space,, omewherc,
with the sun. And we know
and think as little about our!
real journey as Susi ' knew
nbout her trip.
' Don't despise Susi.
Human nature is fundament
ally pood with nil its fighting
and slaughtering. The French
hevitnted to let the Zeppelin
fly over French territory- -too
many opportunities for taking
photographs, useful in later
wars, perhaps.
But when the big ship was
in trouble, French soldiers
were scut to help, French land
ing fields and hangars were
offered, and at this hour,
French and German mechanics
arc working side by side, put
ting the big dirigible in order.

10 AID CITY
Mmniliig tho saving ot nt least
$5000 to the city ot Medford In
the construction of tho new
municipal airport, the Boeing and
Paclflo Air Transport companion,
operators of the Pacific coast air
mall route, have pledged to co
operate with the city In that A. K.
Humphreys, assistant to the presi
dent, and C. Eugene Johnson,
operating engineer, -will assist In
every possible way In tho laying
out of the new field.
These two men aro . now In
charge of the construction of the
$1, 500. 000 Hoeing airport at Bur
Dank:, Calif., and win come to Med
ford at any time needed. This will
eliminate the employment of , a
special airport engineer.
The - Assurance of this coopera
tion came with the visit and con
ference of Mayor A. W. Pipes,
Sccley Hall and City Engineer
Fred Scheffel with Boeing officials
In Hcattio last Saturday. Tho three
men returned to Medford today
with the news. " . ..
A conference of five hours was
held and during that time airport
construction was discussed from
every angle, resulting In consider
able enllghtment for the local men.
A new plan of construction for the
administration building, shops and
main htmgar was evolved, and was
described this afternoon by Mayor
Pipes as being another means of
saving several tttouaand dollars for
the city. .
Instead of erecting separata
buildings for the administrative of
fices and weather bureau, an addi
tion can be built to the ' main
hangar. The addition would be 20
feet wide, 100 feet long and two
stories high. The first floor Is to
Include the waiting room and busi
ness offices while the second floor
will accommodate the United
States Weather Bureau and Include
sleeping quarters for pilots.
Tho weather bureau office
would also Include equipment on
top of tho dome shaped roof of the
hangar. .
On tho opposite side of tho hsn,
gar, plans include a 20-foot addi
tion for the shops, in which motors
nnd other equipment can be re
paired. This plan will bo submit
ted to tho city council airport com
mittee, and Is entirely in kcoplng
with aviation standards recognized
by leading air transport compan
ies, according to .Mayor Pipes.
