AIRSHIPS vs. AIRPLANES

Aircraft seem destined to play the leading role among modes of con. veyance of the future. Trans-oceanic travel in particular will be revolu- tionized. and even now one Ameri- °1111 51119111118 firm. with the compe- tition of swift airships in view is about to establish a fleet of llfms designed to cross the Atlantic in mu" d°Y3~ The 816st question at this stase iii-weather aircraft de- velopmellt will be along the lines u; airplanes or of airships.

This gas weighs the same as air, so that, as it is 115911 11D. air displaces it with no change oi the total weight. By this means the German LZI 2'1 will be able in save about 30 extra tons for freight; This important weight-sav- ing scheme cannot be applied to air- planes as now constructed.

A distinctive advantage of airship

navigation is its ability to descend to low altitude and greatly slacken speed without danger of stalling or making a forced landing. In the North Pole flights of i926, Com- mander Byrd fiew his airplane at an altitude of 3000 feet, and after circling, returned to his base at Spitzbergen. Amundsen in his air- ship flew at an altitude of about 700 feet. and cruised around the vicin- ity for nearly two hours. The sci- entific advantage of the airship is obvious. Most persons naturally wonder why airship development seems so far behind. It Ls another case of C'est la guerre. At the beginning of the war, airship transportation was considerably more advanced than was the airplane. But military needs demanded speed and quick manoeuvrability. and all the re- search went into airplane design. It is estimated that 95 per cent of all money spent to date on aviation has gone into 'airplanes. The air- ship, as yet, has never had a fair chance. There is much hope, how- ever, that it will soon come into its own. .

THE BY-ELECTION

THE campaign in the fourth dis-

trict of Queens is now well un- der way. Three of the polling divi- slons have heard the candidates and some cf) the exponents of their respective policies and are no doubt Betting a 800d grasp oi’ the situa- tion as it exists. The issue clearly is between the government and the opposition. The Saunders Govem- ment is on trial, the charges against it and its defense are being well set forth and the people are in a posi- tion to judge between them. Mr. W. E- Bentley. K.c.. self nominated is a sort of little monkey wrench thrown into the machinery without so far disturbing it to any consider- able extent. His relation to the Conservative party was clearly shown during the last election and it is not forgotten that he was a considerable factor in the defeat of the Stewart Government. That he has been thrown aside by the Saun- ders Government which he helped to elect is only part of his biogra- phy. As a third party in the leg- islatuie, a party of one at that,

HE i928 three months‘ period of hauling Alberta coal to Ontario at a $6.75 ton rate has not proved successful, says The Sydney Post. The ciuantity carried was smalLand about two of the three months‘ pe- riod of grace, within which the Dominion government was to pay the loss entailed by the special rate, saw no coal sent on its way East. Normal rates were resumed at the end of last week. The Edmonton Bulletin explains what happened. For about two- thirds of the designated period of reduced rates the railways charged interline tolls and switching charges, Justified by their legal departments. These brought up the price of Al- berta. coal in Ontario as high as the competitive American product. For all practical purposes the special rail rate specified was consequently

In addition, he had a native capacity for intrigue, for ingratiat-, ng himself, for insinuating himself mm high places, a suppleness, as one said, a cleverness as Lord Milner put it. He had a 19°11- tical mind, and a firm foothold in Ulster where he was "Our General Wilson.“ The Ulster men formed one coherent body, and they stood resolutely behind their staff official of their own breed."

Returning to the point of view of the passenger, what. a man is apt to think oi first when preparing to "hop off" is safety. Human beings are land animals, and do not nat- urally take to the air. If the av- erage man is to be persuaded to book passage by'air, he must be mransported with a minimum of un- favorable reaction. This deep psy- chological drawback airplanes as yet have been unable to overcome. The knowledge that an incapacitat- ed pilot or a stalled motor might mean death, and the deafening en- g-ine noise do not add to the pas- senger's pence of mind.
