Never personally fond of President Hoover,* Citizen Coolidge wrote: In the general field of agriculture, government interference in an attempt to maintain prices out of the Treasury is almost certain to make matters worse in stead of better. It disorganizes the whole economic fabric...
...nearly every layman knows, hydrogen is 8% more buoyant than helium, but is in disfavor for use in dirigibles because: 1) it is explosive and 2) it seeps through the fabric about 50% faster than helium. Last week the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics made known that a mixture of 90% helium and 10% hydrogen may be developed for the Navy's new superdirigibles ZRS-4 and ZRS-5. Such a mixture, suggested by German scientists, would enable a ship of that size (6,500,000 cu. ft. inflation) to carry 25 additional persons.† More important...

Peaches, Peonies. Britain's dirigible R-100 ended her 13-day visit to Canada last week (TIME, Aug. 11), sailed for home with a new tear in her fabric, one of her six motors disabled as the result of a side-flight over Toronto, Ottawa and Niagara, and with nine English and Canadian news correspondents aboard. Freight and express revenues estimated at $500,000 had to be rejected in accordance with Air Ministry orders. Only excess cargo was a bunch of peonies for King George from Viscount Willingdon, governor-general; and a box of Canadian peaches for the Prince...
