JOLTED. KAHN SAYS
Insists U. S. Continue Its Ex
periments Despite Rema
Tragedy
TO KEEP PACE WITH WORLD
Uy the Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 22 The disnster
te (he Rema will he a serious setback
le development of llghtcr-than-nlrcraft
In Amcrlcn. because the Natien Is deeply
stirred and will net forget. Chairman
Julius Kahn. of the Heuse Military
Affairs Committee, declared today In a
statement.
"The destruction of the Rema." he
said, "with the terrible less of life, is
ft terrible shock te nil these interested
in aerial navigation. The Rema wn
thp largest llghtcr-vhan-alr craft that
this country owned.
"He nave made terrific strides In
recent years, especially regarding the
development and use of helium gni.
This gnu Is nen-inllnmmable. It Is
hoped that we will be nble te secure
enough of this substance te fl I all of
our Pigiiicr-than-air machines.
"While I realize that the whole coun
try wilt be deeply stirred. by this acci
dent. I feel that these who perished In
the destruction are but martyrs te the
cause of aviation. The world probably
will continue nlr flights notwithstanding
the disaster.
"The chnnces nre that efforts will be
made te prevent recurrence of such n
calamity. I feel, however, that se
long as ether nations of the world con
tinue experiments legnrdlng flights In
the nlr, our own country will have te
keep up te the rest of the world in thnt
regard. The thing is altogether tee
shocking nt the present time, nnd It will
be probably several years before we can
get back te n normal basis.
"I feel confident that despite the ter
rible disaster te our officers and men
the matter of aviation will still continue
te be tnken up by these of our officers
who ate in the nvlnlien service ln order
that the United Stntcs may be able te
make progress in the nrt of flying nnd
keep abreast of the improvements which
nre mnije by the various clvlll.cd coun
tries of the world."

The DUO-ART is far mere
than a mere " PlayerrPiane'
With a player-piano the operator
must put expression into the music
through modulating devices.
The DUO-ART Pianola-Piane playa
any player-piano roll, it has controlling
devices and you can de all with it that
you can de with any player-piano.
Buts- .
When the DUO-ART Pianola-Piane
plays a DUO-ART Recerd you simply
listen and ENJOY. It reproduces, of
itself, just as a phonograph record
does.
The minutest phrasing of the artist
is repeated, because it is absolutely
registered in the Recerd.
The DUO-ART is made only in the
Steinway, Weber, Steck, Wheelock,
Stroud and Aeolian Pianos, all en sale
at Heppe's. Prices are from $750 up.
