Safe Airships Must Have Non-Inflammable Gas
or Bags That Won't Bum
By W. H. UPSON. Aeronautical Engineer.
Disasters .like the Roma are sad blows in the human lives they cost. !
But they do not condemn the airship as impractical. To make the air
ship entirety safe from fire it is necessary to use either a nonrmflamniabla
gas like helium, or have a gas bag that won't burn.
I do not believe helitmi will be available for commercial use in the
present generation, because it is so rare-.and so expensive to purify. It
costs fully 100 times as much as the hydrogen gas now used. Moreover,
it weighs twice m much as hvdrogea aud/is deficient in lifting power, Its
only known source of quantity supply is from natural gas by liquefaction
and distillation.
Hydrogen is safe enough if a non-inflammable envelope is used.
Asbestos is not strong enough. No fabric can be fireproofed thoroughly
by any process yet discovered. A metal envelope seems the only practical
thing. But it has not been sufficiently developed.
The gasoline used as fuel is even more dangerous than the hydrogen |
in the jras bag. Experiments are being made with kerosene or still hea' ier
oil as fuel. This would avoid tho danger of vaporized gasoline.
Rule of the Soviet Has Brought to Russia Danger
of Peaceful Germanization
By PROP. ALEXANDER PETRUNKEVITCH, Yale University.
The present government 111 Kussia is just -dragging itself along. and
remains in power for tlie simple reiuson there is no one else to whom the
rule may be passed. But it is bound to fall—how soon no one may say
at this time. The ultimate result of the revolution will probably be the
splitting up of Russia into a number of small states. If this happens, it
i« eventually possible these states would be bound together by some sort
of union.
Under the rule of the soviet the youth of Russia has degenerated
meutallv. physically and morally. As a result of the war and the revolu
tion, the great intellectual leaders and the educated classes have vanished
To whom, then, must Russia turn for teachers for her schools? To tier
many. of course. There is the great danger to Russia and to the entire
world, for trade and commerce will follow such an intellectual invasion,
and the peaceful Oermaniiration of all Russia will lie complete.
The present Russian government should not be recognized by the
allies and trade relations with it should not b« resumed. That would bt
a terrible mistake. How can any government guarantee its citizens prop
er commercial protection in dealing with a government which cannot even
orotect its own citizens in their private property?
Packing-town Does Not Set the Fashion for Gold
Coast, but Vice Versa
By RABBI S. WISE of New York
The theater in America will be subjected to the most rigid censorship,
and that soon, unless it institutes immediate, drastic reforms. Either the
theater will cleanse itself, and at the earliest possible moment, or we will
rule it with the rod of censorship. This is true alike of the spoken drama
and the motion picture play.
The theater, at its best, is one of the great institutions of society. At
its worst, the theater is in danger of becoming such a menace to health us
is the cesspool and its putrescent sewage, and that menace is now present
in some of the vile things that are being perpetrated in New York.
It must be done for the sake of the young, for unfortunately society
is suffering today because of its acceptance of the maxim that youth must
and will have its fling. Some women have no sense of fitness and modesty,
and only they can u>mpete who are ready to be still more vulgar. As a
consequence so-called society comes to be in no small part a matter of com
petition in semi-nudity and all that this means.
1'ackingtown does not set the fashion for the gold cost, but the gold
coast does set the fashion for those back of the yards and others like them
Ineffable mischief is therefore wrought by those at the top of the social
ladder; the evil does not come from the bottom.

Knowledge of one's Ignorance Is a
