HAPPINESS
Not long ago I talked with a man
who had made a remarkable success
in. business; who had plenty of
money and yet was not happy. He
confided to me that he had always
thought money and happiness were
synonymous. But now that he had the
mohey he found happiness even
‘harder to find than when he was a boy
on the farm.’ It was a hardship then
to get up in the early morning and
barefooted go down the dew-covered |
lane to get the cows. Sometimes the
grass was so cold the toes ached. But!
then there was real happiness in
standing in the warm spot on the pas-
ture ‘where the cows had layed down
for the night. A simple method of
getting happiness—warming one's fect
in grass heated by the animals’ bodies.
Yet that boy was doing a thing that
hundreds of farmer boys have done.
How foolish of us to be seeking always
for happiness in money. If we can get
happiness direct from our work and
daily life why is it so necessary to go
through the secondary process. of
hoarding money in order to transrer it
into happiness.

TYRANTS :
This morning the sun was so bright
and the air so crisp and bracing that
1 wanted to walk three or four miles.
It would have done me good, but I
should have been late for work. I
hope that the time will come when I
shall have ‘the courage and the inde-
pendence to say to myself on a beauti-.
ful day, “ belong outdoors and that’s
where I'm going to stay.” Theoretically,
I am now my own boss, but my work
and my business have become greater
tyrants than the ecity editors who
used to terrify me.

~ Local Woman Tells
Interesting Things
of Lakehurst Ships
Son-in-Law of Mrs. Wo Wesley Hoover Is
Maintenance Superintendent At Big
; Hangar
~ Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Hoover are in
receipt of some very interesting facts
about the Lakehurst Air Station,
the craft that belong there and that
visit here. Their son-in-law, Marvin
‘Oney, is maintainence superintendent
at the naval air station, and their
granddaughter, Miss Gladys Oney is
captain. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover have
‘kindly given the following facts to the
- Post, thinking readers in this com-
munity might be interested in some of
~ the details which otherwise they might
collect only with a great deal of work.
The four ships best known to the
public which have at one time or an-
other visited the Lakehurst hangar are
the “Los Angeles, the LZ-127 or the
Graf Zeppelin, the Puritan (a Good-
vear-Zeppelin Co. ship), and the U. S.
Navy ZR-1. A comparison of the
~~ measurements and other details of the
ship may be found in chart form on
this page.
cent interest generally is the Graf
Zeppelin, called the LZ-127 (the 127th
Zeppelin airship), built for long dis-
tance passenger and freight transpor-
tation and owned by Lauftschiffbau
Zeppelin of Friedrichshafen. Its use
is expected to demonstrate the tech-
nical possibility of trans-oceanic air
traffic, to gain economical experience,
and possibly to be used in exploration
and air mapping service.
. It is unique, secondly, because the
used of a duraluminum material of 20
per cent. increased stiffness, its use of
hydrocarbide gas for the engines,
which has the same specific weight as
air, and for its directly reversible 530
horsepower Maybach engines which
can be operated with either liquid or
gas fuel. It has five of these engines,
giving a total of 2,650 horsepower in
separate power cars. It has a direct
propeller drive, and a total lifting
capacity under normal atmosphere
conditions of 129 tons. J
It is just an interesting comparison
to note that the Graf Zeppelin'is some-
what longer than the distance from the
Besecker Garage to the Raub home on
Lake street.
‘Wonderful as this ship is, our own
U. S. Navy Ship ZR~1 has just as
many interesting details, thought it is
probably more generally representa-
tive of airships as we know them. It
was designed by the Navy Department,
fabricated by the Navy Aircraft fac-
tory at Philadelphia, assembled and |

American navy personnel.
The metal framework is duralumi-
num, which is a composition of alumi-
num, copper and 'manganese and has
a tensile strength of mild ®steel with
only one-third of its weight. There
are twenty gas bags made of .a special
fafbric called gold-beater skin, manu-
factured by the Goodyear Tire & Rub-
ber Company.
There are six 300 horsepower
engines, manufactured by Packard

is used, carried in a number of tanks
in an enclosed keel. As much as 8,000
gallons can be carried.
The ship is supported by helium gas,
a non-inflammahble, non-poisonous gas
found in the natural gas in certain
gas fields in Kansas and Texas. The
government has a plant in Texas for
extracting this gas. It is found in
commercial quantities nowhere else in
the world.
The ship is controlled from the for-
ward car, the inside of which looks
much like the bridge of a steamship
and is in communication with the
ground by radio ‘and radio telephone.
The navy will operate the ship to
demonstrate its*uses not only in naval
and military purposes but for commer-

BASS BITE ‘BETTER
AS STREAMS CLEAR
Reports throughout Pennsylvania
indicate that the break in the extreme-
ly hot weather has greatly improved
the bass fishing, and from now on
fishermen should expect to find much
better fishing in their favorite spots.
During! the first few weeks of the]
season, very little good fishing was re-
ported, in most sections of the Com-
monwealth. This was due reports
said to the extremely poor condition
of the water and the fact that the
streams had not had a chance to clear.
The 1929 distribution of bass from
State, hatcheries will commence some
time. this month and from all indica-
tions a million bass«should be avail-
able for the streams 'and water where
they. are suitable. The State is con-
fining its efforts to stocking only
those waters which are suitable for
bass and in most instances is sending
fish to those waters throughout the
Commonwealth which it thinks will
furnish good bass fishing in the fu-
ture.
