Almost as fast as they are completed, America’s dirigible airships go up in smoke. The loss of the TC-1 in a storm at Dayton costs the United States army the largest nonrigid ship ever built in this country. This leviathan of the air was the first of three ships being built for the government at Akron. It was to have been used as a training ship for airship pilots in preparation for several trans continental flights contemplated by the army. Twice dates had been set for a flight to Omaha, only later to be cancelled. The causes of such accidents as that which de stroyed the TC-1 are not clear in the public mind. This type was designed for the use of helium gas, which is noninflammable and nonexplosive. All the vessels of this type are to use helium as the standard lifting power. But on the trial trip hy drogen gas was used, and now fire and explosion have left only a mass of twisted frames. Omaha would have thrilled to have seen this great airship. It was almost 200 feet long. The car suspended from the envelope contained accom modations for a crew of six men when helium was used, but when hydrogen was used a crew of ten men could be carried. Two engines, each of 150 horsepower, gave it a speed of 60 miles an hour within a radius of 1,070 miles. Slackening down t« a speed of 47 miles per hour, it was estimated to have a cruising range of 1.630 miles. Among its businesslike features were the bomb carrying de rices, designed to drop one 1,200-pound bomb, one weighing 400 pounds and eight of 100 pounds. There was also a complete radio installation. Several different types of dirigibles are to be tried out by America. At Lakewood, N. J., there is, now building for the United States navy a giant dirigible of the rigid type, the ZR-1. It is 680 feet 'ong and is modeled after a Zeppelin captured .by ‘he French. It is on this balloon ship that navy aviators plan to fly to the north pole. Over in Germany, in the Zeppelin factories, a new commercial airship, the ZR-3, is being built for the United States government as a part of the war reparations. This, it is said, will be the latest model in passenger carrying ships. It has accommoda tions for thirty passengers, in addition to its crew. Though it has been built with an eye to speed, yet it is said it will surpass also for distance, and will’ be able to fly from Berlin to Chicago without land ing. It is expected that a German crew will drive it across the Atlantic to the hangar at Lakehurst, where the other Zeppelin is to have its home. Not much is heard of America’s efforts to de velop dirigible flying. It is usually an accident or a casualty that brings this work into publicity. But if out of the accidents any lessons are learned to speed the conquest of the air, not even these are in vain. Nature may balk, but the conquest of the ait is well begun. HITTING THE GYPSY TRAIL. The Omaha Auto club registered cars in 1921 | carrying more than 40,000 tourists. All summer long, here as elsewhere along the national trails, there is a tremendous coming and going. A traffic census made simultaneously on 18 Nebraska high ways, distributed widely over the state, of vehicles passing in a single week of last August, showed a total of 88,958. Prof. George R. Chatburn, of the University of Nebraska discusses this in his new book, “Highways and Highway Transportation.” He found that nearly one-sixth of all the automobiles came from outside the state, and one-third from without the county in which they were traveling. Passenger cars numbered 79,758, light trucks 3,593, heavy trucks 2,243, horse-drawn passenger vehicles 1,303, and wagons 2,066. Once more this season of pilgrimage is on. A be wildering variety of automobile license tags, from states east and west and north and south, are seen on the streets of Omaha and in the camping grounds provided so generally by smaller towns along the main traveled roads. Out of this vast intercommuni cation of persons from distant parts of the country something is gained. This gypsying is a splendid force, bringing new contacts, wiping out provincial ism and carrying thousands—or is it millions—out into the open air. DIGGING INTO WAR FRAUDS. Some of the curiosity that exists as to the prog ress being made in the prosecution of “war goug ers" may be allayed by a report just made to the president by Attorney General Daugherty. It covers the work of the war frauds section of the Depart ment of Justice for the first twelve months of its existence. A saving of $88,298,805.48 is reported in the settlement of claims preferred against the govern ment. The court of claims awarded but $2,999, 581.74 out of $88,298,297.22 presented, dismissing the rest as of no merit. In the neighborhood of 100 indictments have been returned in fraud cases, $3,198,683.19 has been ✓recovered and judgments obtained for $1,225,919.37 additional. Scores of criminal and civil suits are awaiting trial, with the prospects good for the further recovery of money and the sending of culprits to prison for having de frauded the government in connection with war contracts. Aside from the Chemical foundation suits, nine ty-one cases are pending, involving $62,408,267.41, in the civil courts. The war frauds section hH» been operating on a 10 per cent basis, the amount so far recovered being in round numbers $5,000, 000, while the appropriation was $500,000. The Chemical foundation suit was set for hearing at Wilmington, Del., this week. Other big cases are to be brought on ns rapidly as the courts can hear them. Nebraska has a direct interest in this work, be cause C. Frank Rcavis, former congressman from the First district, is at the head of the war frauds section, as special assistant attorney general. He haa made a fine record by the vigor with which he ban pushed the prosecution of those who robbed the government during the war. A BREAD-AND-BUTTER STATE. A dairy herd on every farm. That is a slogan in the northwest, is a good one. Where there are cows there is a sound basis for prosperity. Pro verbially the cow is a mortgage lifter. A prominent Omaha jobber said the other day: “We can trace on our ledgers right where Nebraska’s dairying districts lie. They are to be found right where the farmer and the merchant are paying bills promptly.” One of the questions asked by farm loan companies re lates to whether the applicant for a loan milks any cows. Ask almost any country banker and he will tell you that his advice to his farmer customers is to milk more dairy cows. There are today on the farms of Nebraska 416, 000 dairy cows, the state ranking seventeenth among dairy states. Minnesota has three times as large a herd, and Wisconsin, four times. New York, which ranks second, has 1,696,000, and Iowa, which is fifth, has 1,093,000. Nebraska is outstripped hy Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. In spite of that, Omaha produces more butter than any other city in the United States. Its out put exceeds that of St. Paul and Minneapolis com bined, partly because there are not as many small creameries scattered among the farm communities of Nebraska as there are in other states. But the steady growth in the number of tons of butter churned by Omaha creameries is a pretty good index to the rise of dairying. One of these companies last year churned more butter than the total output of the state a few years back. It is largely a matter of diversified farming. The advance of irrigation also is proving a factor, for where water is turned into the fields, alfalfa will be planted, and cows follow the alfalfa. One of the promising things in the Scottsbluff district is the in crease in dairying. This industry is not an experiment, nor is it hazardous or speculative in any sense. Dairy prod ucts constitute a cash crop, returns coming in monthly instead of once a year, as is the case with most other farm operations. It keeps purchasing power steady and minimizes the danger of frozen credits. Some idea of the amount of wealth it produces can be gained from the figure of $17,720,000, which rep resents the value of butter and cheese made in Omaha last year. More emphasis should be placed on dairying in Nebraska. Omaha might do its bit by fostering a dairy show at Ak-Sar-Ben field, to advertise the im portance of this industry and encourage its growth. There are dozen of ways in which a proper apprecia tion of the possibilities of the cow can be developed, that Nebraska may be known around the world as a bread-and-butter state. _ i DECLINE OF HUSBAND HUNTING. At the time of the civil war, when the men folk were away in the army, women began to make their appearance in the business world. Up to that time marriage had been their only vocation, and they were trained for domesticity alone, but today there are a thousand new interests and hundreds of oc cupations for women. Yet men flatter themselves that the main con cern of every woman is to find a husband. There are a good many like the brash college freshman who expresses the opinion that girls go to college as the best place to form suitable marriages. It seems to us that the girls themselves are the best witnesses. “A girl's ultimate aim may be marriage, but while she’s in college she doesn’t think of it,” one of the co-eds at Syracuse university explains. That’s it. One might even add that matrimony is considered by the average modern girl as less of an aim than a fate, though a pleasant one. It comes to most as a natural course, in response to the deep underlying instincts of the race. It even happens in this day and age that those who are most intent on marriage are often the ones who get there last, if ever. NEBRASKA’S LOSS. Of a race and faith that has contributed greatly to the sound upbuilding of Nebraska, Peter Jansen has gone to his fathers. The rugged honesty, thrift and industry of the Mennonite settlers in America found in him its most prominent expression and leadership. Seldom has a man of such simple habits played so important a part in public affairs. Two towns, one in this state, and the other on the plains of Saskatchewan, were named in his honor. In Canada as well as in the United States, his people looked to him for help and guidance. Nor was there in his efforts, whether for the betterment of agriculture or in public affairs, any trace of nar rowness. He was as broad as the prairies in his interests and activities. The Mennonite hospital at Beatrice is there because he donated the land on which it was built. The National Live Stock ass<y ciation and the Nebraska Wool Growers’ association are outgrowths of his practical mind. The friend of great men and the protector of small ones, Peter Jansen will be greatly missed. That was an interesting showing made in the in come tax returns for Nebraska. Even though the aggregate of incomes was $126,000,000 less than in 1921, yet each dollar was worth more, in addition to being harder to get. Omaha scarcely realizes the importance of the new Federal Farm Loan bank that has been estab lished here by the government. But with IX P. Hogan at its head, it is destined to work wonders for the agricultural industry. The oldest frame building in the United States is •aid to be the Quaker meeting house at Easton, Md., built 239 years ago. How many modern structures, of whatever material they are made, will survive that long? But then, perhaps Governor Bryan would have liked the short ballot better if he had thought of it first himself. Homespun Verse —Ily Omalia'a Own Port— Robert Worthington Davie SOMEWHERE IS HE.

Reader# of Tho Morning Boa ara Invited to use this column frooly far axgrooolon on Matters of pablla latorest. The Importance of Forests. Columbus, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: The oldest and ever true principle of economic agriculture is: "Whatever you withdraw from soil in the form of crops must be returned in proper fertilizers to maintain con stant yield." The same rule must apply to our forests: "For every tree felled by tha woodman's ax another tree should be planted to take its-place.” Preservation and reforestation of our fast disappearing once big forest areas is one of the greatest and most Important problems before our nation today. Besides supplying the material for our houses, barns, etc., on our farms and smaller cities, the forests by nature perform many ever benefi cial functions, especially by moderat ing climatic extremes, by acting as giant sponges, preserving moisture, which, in turn, by gradual evapora tion, insures steadier rainfall, pre venting sudden floods, and furnishing a steadier, more constant and even flow of our rivers, thus maintaining to a large degree our irrigation sys tems and river navigation, so very important to cheapen transportation of bulky and heavy products. The living and next few generations must absolutely, with nil possible as sistance by state and federal govern ments, devise ways and proper means to preserve our enormously valuable domain of timber if posterity shall not suffer and come to grief by the care lessness and inexcusable indifference of the living. Legitimate require ments, waste in use and, above all else, most destructive fires, are con stantly at work to cut down our al ready fast disappearing forests to such an alarming extent that the consump tion of timber and forest products of all kinds and for all purposes each year Is about three times greater than the increase In natural growth. It is easy to see whither we are drifting. All modern and civilized nations by their governments and certain adopted forestry systems are aiming to preserve their forests and to balance consumption with natural growth as much as possible, because forests mean nattonal wealth, as they fur nish great Incomes every year to their public treasuries. Take, for instance, Sweden, Norw-ay, Finland, Russia, Germany. Switzerland, some of the Balkan states. They all furnish ex amples of practical, economical and systematic forestry systems, which we might greatly profit to follow. Emperor Napoleon 111 was the per sonal founder of the French forest system and caused to plant forests in a large sandy section of southwest France about 70 years ago, which to day furnishes great amounts of val uable timber and are a great source of the public revenues of that coun try. D. L. A Plea for the (lassies. Blair, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Does English come vis Batin? Any scholar is Interested In those writers who have written through In splratlon found In the literature of the ancients. There and there only are the sources of a knowledge of the correct usage of the mother tongue and of an accurate understanding of the thoughts of others. Nothing need he said of the modern ctasslclsts who convincingly prove the kinship be tween the two languages by their mas tery of the English. That I may tie understood bv all. allow me to show the practical use of I>atln. Bet us consider such words as "separate." "viaduct." "per spective." "familiar." "patience," "legible." "auxiliary;" any one of these might be used by the ordinary individual during his life. These sre words that are misspelled frequently, hut more frequently by those who know no Butin, for those who have such understanding wilt Invariably call to mind the words from which they are derived respectively: "Vla duca," "per-splcio." "familia." "pa tint.” "lego” and "auxlllum." Again. In such a word as "referrtng." one often misspelled, a student of l,atln knows that because of the "re" and "foro" there would tie hut one "f.” I might dwell Indefinitely upon similar illustrations and upon prefixes and suffixes in nur English words that are derived from the l^atltt. For ex ample, did you ever puzzle over the spelling of "amicable." "Intelligible," perform.” "prescribe?” Too. without a clear understanding of Bit in often the real meaning of the word—the very soul—is lost. At best a dictionary definition is not as com prehensive nor as satisfying Intelllgl hie as Is the basic knowledge of the Iaitin "root* and stems.*" These are only a few of ths me i hanical benefits from the classics Thus Minerva serves as a handmaid of man.

JOANNA OGDEN. Baffling Human Problems. Omaha—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: We live in the lap of immense intelligenee, which makes us organs of its activities and receiv ers of its truth. When we discern justice, when we discern truth, we do nothing of ourselves, but allow Its passage flight. If we ask from whence this comes, if we seek to pry Into the causes, its presence or its absence is all we can affirm. Upon what, then, would you found the order of government which would govern? A government by, of and for the pen pie. which extends the right of suf frage to all • lasses of men. and in which the supreme power of legisla tion and the administration of justice is lodged In the hands of the people. Shall it he on the sudden Impulse of each Individual mind? What con fusion! Shall it he on a commercial basis, squared by the rules of the arithmetic? What tyranny! Shall it be pn justice? Is man not Ignorant of It? One man's Justice is another's injustice; one man's justice consists of paying debts as per rule of corn merce: another asks himself which debt must I pay first? The debt of the rich or the debt of the poor; the debt of money or the debt of thought towards mankind in general? Be cause the poor and the law express the last facts of philosophy, which are "blessed be nothing" and "the worse things are. the better they are” It is right that what ts just should he obeyed; it Is only necessary that what Is strong should he obeyed. Justlre is subject to dispute; might Is easily recognised nnd Is not dis puted. hence Justice without might Is helpless; might without Justice is tyrannical. We must then combine Justice with might, and for this end make what is Just strong We cannot give Justice to might, because might has already opposed Justice and de clares that It is she who is Just. Then let us understand that the equitable rule Is "that no man shall take more than a Just profit, let him I*- ever so rich The state must con sider the poor and all voices speak for them. Justice by the majority Is best, because It is visible, has strength to make itself obeyed, coming through the ballot. Is a government by the opinion of the common masses who are least able; then the price of jus tice is faithful, Intelligent, alllgent effort to know men nnd issues end net with a clear, strong purpose on election day: a day perhaps upon which hangs the destiny of years for I hose we love. Hence the privilege of voting, if not used, may ss we'! not exist Life will hold one continual sur prise an«l disappointment after an other, if we act like the man who went cut In the meadow and sat down waiting for the cow to back up and In- milked. Go after the cow, or some one will who perhaps may or mnv not deal justly toward you nnd yours. M. A. 8.

From the Nebraska City Frees. Successful men are targets for abuse, abuse born of envy and jcal ousy. Let a man achieve fame in any particular fine, let him promulgate an idea or a system which does not ''square" with his conception of his fellows—especially the fellows who have not won success—and the fat is in the fire. A former Nebraska school man. particularly successful In his field, advocated certain reforms in his home city, a California town. At once the cry went up that his head should come off. The politicians particular ly were anxious to get his scalp, a city campaign was bitterly waged back and forth, personalities were indulged in disgracefully—and the school man was vindicated by having had a ma jority of his school ooard ticket elected. But sore spots remain and the defeated cohorts are only await ing the day when they can once more get into action, hoping, of course, that by that time he will have so con ducted himself that they may “have something on him.” It has ever been thusk and it will continue, to be thus just as long as human nature remains unchanged. The Father of His Country, against whom no man at this late day would dare say a word, was reviled by a large proportion of his people w hen he became president. He was accused of attempting to set up a monarchy. We know what happened to William Henry Harrison, who died after he had won the presidency, a tender na ture succumbing to the slings and arrows of the enemy. Lincoln was martyred after sucres* had crowned hi* stupendous efforts to save the country. Garfield was shot by a paranoiac because he rould not get! a political job. McKinley was shot down after a "yellow press” had re viled and excoriated him for the com mission of Imaginary wrongs. Roose velt, beat liked and the beat hated man of hi* times, was suspected up to the moment of his death because he waa a little different. Woodrow Wil son became a brooding Invalid because hia motives were not plain to the na tion. Suecess means a niche in the hall of fame; it also means a few "nicks” in the haul of shame. ■\ Study in Psychology. From the Hastings Tribuna One of the best slogans that has been adopted by newspapers Is: "Get the news first, but first get It right.” Most of the newspapers make a strong effort for accurdcy, and this is more so true today than ever before. But. It is so easy to make a mis take that the wonder Is there are not more mistakes made by the dlspens er* of news than are made For instance, let an accident hap pen on the street and it ts doubtful if there are any two persons who wit ness the scene will give the same de irription of what really took place. Make note of this: From Boston a short time ago came the news that a class In psychology at Northeastern university wa? dis turbed by a clash between two fellow students A shot was fired and one of the men fell and the other ran away. Prof. Milton Schlagenhauf then called on the class to write a report on everything that had oorurred There were 50 students in the class and 4? of them insisted they saw a r» volver. some adding a flash, and some smoke. But the student supposed to have flred the shot only held a hanana in his hand and pointed it at his sup posed victim. The shot was fired in the rear of the room out of sight. The story further says descriptions of dress varied widely: versions of the exclamations that pereceded the shoot ing were equally incorrect. One stu dent attempted to give the time ex actly. saying he had taken out his watch for the purpose He was an hour out of the way and he gave a date four days wrong. Of course, the incident had been staged by the professor as a test of observation after he had taken the class to a court room, inhere a wit ness said positively he could describe eNcrything that happened in a burglary that took three minute*. Now this simple test In psychology makes it patent how easily It is for one to he mistaken. Missouri Kiver Dei elopment. From th« Blair Pilot. There appeared on the front page f the Kansas City Star. May 9 issue, an extended interview with Mark W. Wood* of the Wood* Brothers cor poration regarding prospective de veloping of the Missouri river and cities, towns and farming country in the Missouri valley. The day follow ing. May 10. the leading editorial in the Star, using this Interview as a basts, discussed at length this im portant problem We quote therefrom: "Mr. Woods speaks a* a man familiar with the conditions as they exist. He says that by state cooperation with the government the Missouri can be made navigable from St. Iajuls to a point 100 miles northwest of Sioux City within two years and that, through a plan of a St. Ixiuis company, barges could be put in operation on the Mis souri In one year. He suggests that unified action of all communities con cerned, together with government and government supervision so that the undertaking would be both ef fective and without burdensome ex pense to any party involved." The type of ttarges referred to by Mr. Woods are light draft and the propelling boats are so constructed ar to operate successfully in shallow water—from two und one half to three feet, or even as shallow as two feet, if necessary. With such craft available, river traffic may he levolutionized and will certainly he ex tended to include many thousands of miles of streams not regarded at this time as suitable for navigation. From the Missouri river country will njove a volume of traffic out of all proportion to the present or im mediately prospective transportation facilities. It will be necessary to make use of the Missouri river for barge lines in order to relieve the conges tion. This does not mean that will prove as useful as the railroads, as to the producers and consumers. Only last month the Missouri River Improvement association was form ed. Including drainage, levee and pro tection districts, the purpose being to extend the organization the full length of the river. This association can render a very great service to this entire region, and should embrace in due time the cities and towns situated in the Missouri river valley, for it will only he through concerted acton, as Mr Woods indicates, that definite and early results may be obtained. It Will Be Some Campaign. From the Spokane Spokesman-Review. If President Harding runs for re election next year on a dry platform, as he now seems certain to do, and if the democrats take the other side of the Issue, as they very likely will, It will he a livelier campaign than the one in 1320. Hostile audiences will interrupt the speakers with light whines and jeer*. There will also be a third party, that ,s to say, Mr. Bryan. Just as in 1890 we had gold demo trats and free silver republicans, we May have in 1924 gold cure demo crats and free lunch republicans.

A Book oj Today Coming with the recommendation of Ludwig Lewlsohn , "Suspended Judgments." by John Cowper Powys, is assuredly to be welcomed by jovers of critical literature. The quality of his judgment, its penetrating and en lightening nature, will be anticipated by those who have heard him on his lecture tours. Among the figures he discusses are Voltaire. Rousseau. Montaigne. Balzac, Anatol France, De Maupassant, Remy de Gourmont, Conrad, Henry James. Verlaine Emily Bronte. Oscar Wilde and Pascal. Truly an Index to the choices minds of the race. It is published by the Ameri can Library Service. The same house has recently published two books by Llewellyn Powys, the gifted brother of the other. One of these, entitled "Thirteen Worthies,” gives quaint portraits of such characters as Izaak Walton. John Bunyan and Kit Mar lowe. The other.
