(U.R) The decommissioned navy dirigible Los Angeles will be piles of junk within a month. The once queenly ship is being sacrificed to science. The former ZR-3, brought here from Germany where it was built in 1924, is undergoing a series of experiments designed to aid in building lighter-than-air craft. The final test made on the craft will be complete demo lition. The dirigible's nose torn out by force to test the strength of light aluminum alloy girders, the fabric covering torn away for inspection, the giant maid of the air lies awaiting the final experiment the tearing apart with weights of the skeleton to test the strength of girders un der pressure. Wind Tests Mad Commander Jesse L. Ken worthy said the ship had been undergoing tests for several months. It has been repainted, the parts dismantled and recon structed, hauled on the airfield for wind-resistance tests. The navy department recent' ly authorized dismantling of the sniPl which has beon in the hangar here since July, 1932, when It was decommissioned af ter eight years of service. The dirigible, which has been viewed by many thousands of visitors at the air station, cannot be seen now because orders to close the field to the public went out shortly after the outbreak of war in Europe. German Reparations Built in Germany in 1024 as part of Germany's reparations payment to the United States, the Los Angeles was flown here by Dr. Hugo Eckener, renowned German designed and authority, on llghtor-than-air craft. On Nov. 25, 1924, the ship was christened by the first lady of the land, Mrs. Grace Coolidge, and started on its life trip of more than 140,000 miles. The Los Angeles has been used throughout Its life for ex periments by the navy. It was the first lighter-than-air craft to be used in an experiment to hook airplanes to its underside. With it, at various times on their visits to this country, have been berthed the German ships Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin, which exploded and was des troyed while landing May 6 1937.

Dse MaU ".ribune wast ads. Ye Poets Comer Playing Santa Claus A little man with a pack on his back, Trudged on at the end of day; And a star shone bright, like a beacon light. To beckon him on his way. There, far at the end of a snowy trail, He found a little brown shack; While Its inmates slept, he care fully crept; And deftly shifted his pack. For in that little shack were boys and girls, Who were hungry and In rags. He stole In the house, as still as a mouse; And soon unloaded hli bags. He filled all their stockings from top to toe; On the table left a feast; And they found things there on table and chair, When the sun rose In the East. Then, alone he trudged to his lowly hut, Forgetful of his own need; But ever at peace In a world surcease; Content with hts Christmas deed. When bells softly chimed with their silvery tones, And carols sounded in glee, He sat In his place; a smile graced his face; Illumed and happy was he. JANE GARRETT. Heathens They kneel In an open church house. The sky for a roof overhead. Their skins are dirty, bare, and black. Their songs are chant Instead. They set up their gods of stone or clay. As symbols, their service as good As the beautiful Virgin Mary, All painted and carved out of wood. Their prayers are for life's successes, For victories, scalpa or rain. They pray for needs of a short, short life. They recogntre losses and gain. Their dancing Is a mean of showing That they are a fortunate race When the anawer comes to their pleading And they are again In God's grace. The Cross has Its original meaning. Its purpose they do not deny. They worship the god of oreatlon And his commandment to multiply. They are a practical, literal people, Abstractions beyond their need. A god Is good in reality When he discloses himself In deed. Because they apply their religion In such a literal way, We send our mlsslonarlea to them To give them precepts to obey. we want them to pray for nothing Beyond their spiritual gain, Because our Ood does not send us Lightning, food, shelter or rain. We have them, somshow, we have them. An accident never the least But to pray for them Is Ignorance, Plain, dumb savagery, I guess. The beat of a rhythmlo tom-tom The bare, stamping feet on the sod, Must make a beautiful muslo To the ears of a heathen god. They get what they want by their praying. If we do, after death we can tell. They live In reality of their heaven: We live In the fear of our hell. RUSSELL MITCHELL, Rejected Gift (A Christmas Poem) The world was in darkness until one night Lone shepherds saw strange new light. Wise men beheld it from afar: There In the heavens a glitter ing star He came) that all envy and strife might cease. Give to mankind good will and peace. Men in their Ignorance. (Oh disgrace) Then threw the Lord'i gift back Into his face "Away with Jesusl" The multi tudes cry. "He is the one to crucify!" To Calvery He Is led away But He still lives this Christ mas Day.

The first bombs to fall on Bri tish soil In the European war blasted six-foot holes in the Shetland Islands, Britain's north ernmost European possession. "A narrow, straggling archi pelago of more than 100 islands and islets, the Shetlands, from north to south, stretch some 70 miles," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. "So deeply Indented are their shores that one Is never mora than three miles away from the sea. With an area of little more than 550 square miles, the Is lands have almost a thousand miles of coastline. "Rugged, barren cliffs rise steeply from the deep blue wa ters of the Atlantic ocean and North Sea that wash the islands. A combination of brilliant col ors in sea, sky and earth there makes for unusually striking scenery. One factor In the vivid coloring of the Shetlands Is the amount of light they receive. For Nature, In sumer, provides the islands with no "blackouts'. During the warm months, there is practically no night there. At the height of the season one can read, take pictures or play out door games at midnight. Relatively Warm "Six hundred miles northwest of Germany's naval base at Wil- helmshaven, the Shetland Isl ands are more than 100 miles from the Scottish mainland. The Orkney island group Is 80 miles to the south. Lerwick, chief city and capital of the Shetlands, Is father north than Greenland's Cape Farewell. Yet, despite this location near the top of the world, the climate of the Islands Is relatively warm due to the rambling of the Gulf Stream. "In 1911, the population of the Shetlands was nearly 28, 000. By the middle of 1838, es timates showed that this figure had shrunk to less than 21,000. Emigration caused by the slow ing up of a once-flourishing her ring Industry, scarcity of good farming lands and the general attraction of urban communi ties for youth of the Islands were contributing factors In the decline. 1914 Naval Base "On the other hand, the wom en's home and later factory In dustries of hosiery and other woolen-goods products have in creased since the World war to an annual value of some $400, 000. The new war, too, Is ex pected to have an economic ef fect on the life of the Shetland era, If, as during the previous . conflict, Lerwick should again become a subsidiary base to Scapa Flow in the Orkneys. "During the 'first World War" the capital of the Shetland isl ands was used not only as an examination station for ships suspected of hauling contra band but also as a base for American and British destroy ers. Innumerable vessels flying foreign and British flags were brought into this harbor and the town was a familiar one to the crews of the many trawlers on duty as mine sweepers, as well ' as to the rescued sailors and travelers from ships sunk near by. "The Shetland fisheries still are of major importance in the British herring industry. "The Shetlands' long-haired shaggy ponies are famous around the world. Native sheep furnish much wool, plucked from the animal instead of sheared, that is fine and warm. And the native cattle, hardy if small, provide excellent beef and milk." Mashed ants are the basis of a native drink In Australia. c 3 NEED CASH? tat- ifcft DORROW ON YOUR CAR Let us etplain bow easy ll is to nave reedy cash smb your ear as security PUone II lor full information Commercial Finance Corp.
