American and European Scientists Agree That Mineral Water Is Beneficial 4 7 TRY THIS NATURAL WAY People spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year going to the great mineral water health resorts of Europe and America. Many of these people have to travel thousands of miles. Many of them were suffering untold pain from rheumatic aches, from arthritis, from neuritis, from gout.

Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington. D. C.-Service. WNO huge balloon, which will be in the stratosphere flight jointly by the National Geographic society and the United States army air corps, is the largest ever constructed. It will take the air from a protected spot in the Black Hills near Rapid City, South Dakota. The balloon was made in a vast room in an Akron, Ohio, factory, w hose windows were sealed, whose air was 6trained through canton flannel, and where men and women employees wore slumber shoes of cloth as they walked over fabric. The bag is capable of holding three million cubic feet of hydrogen gas. This capacity is nearly three and a half times that of the largest free balloon hitherto built. The finished bag which was rushed westward to the point of takeoff by truck, will lift two intrepid officers and a cargo of specially designed scientific instruments near fifteen miles above sea level. Not a stitch was taken in putting together more than two and a third acres of cloth. Instead of being a job for a seamstress or a the task was closest to that of a news editor pasting together pages of "copy or a librarian mending a torn page. Everyone of the 3,520 major pieces into which the fabric was cut, and each of the scores of smaller fragments, was cemented with the greatest care r to its neighbors with rubber cement. The next step was to cover the cemented seams of this jigsaw puzzle with rubber tape on both sides. When these operations were completed the seams were actually stronger than the neighboring fabric. More than 300 gallons of cement the purest rubber dissolved in gasoline and benzol were required to put the balloon together. Immensity of the Balloon. Although the balloon room in which the great balloon was made is three hundred feel long and in places more than a hundred feet wide, that area was not a large enough one in which to spread out the completed bag. Portions of the bag as large as racing assembled on the yacht main-sailfloor during construction, represented relatively small fragments of the balloon area. Half of three orange-pesections, or gores, cemented together and spread out, covered nearly half the floor of the balloon room. Yet twenty-fivsections equally as on to this to be had cemented large piece before the bag was finished. Owing to the huge size of the balloon segments, final construction operations required piling them in long windrows of pleats with only the edges exposed for cementing. After large sections of the balloon were put together, thousands of cubic feet of air was pumped under the fabric to float it off the floor for inspection. Men under the cloth looked through it to strong light, finding any thin spots. These were reinforced with rubber patches. Cloth for the balloon was made from specially selected cotton of unusually long, strong fibers. It was woven in strips 42 Inches wide and 300 feet long. One hundred and thirty of these massive rolls were used in cutting out the balloon 39,000 running feet or more than seven and a third miles of doth. Every square foot of the amazing acreage of cloth passed through a rubberizing machine thirty times, each time receiving a very thin coat of rubber. More than 80 employees worked on the balloon under a expert, who, during the past twenty years, has Supervised the construction of more than a thousand balloons and airships for the army and navy. Packing the completed balloon for THE grit-fre- e rubber-impregnate- d sail-make- ' r, next-doo- fabric-backe- d s, el e balloon-buildin- g its westward trip was no small problem. It was probably the largest unit of fabric that was ever transported. It required folding with extreme care and its surfaces, and folds had to be protected so that there would be no rubbing. Gondola Is of Dowmetal. Without a single ropq, and without its valves, the bag weighs approximately 4,700 pounds. With ropes and valves, but without the gondola and its trappings, the balloons weight is slightly over 5,000 pounds. When the balloon rises from the earth with all its attachments and load, it will weigh nearly eight tons. The gondola is a huge hollow ball 8 feet 4 inches in diameter, that has been built up by welding together eight sections shaped like pieces of orange peel. The shell made of dowmetal is slightly less than of an inch thick. At first glance the big metal ball seems to be built of steel; and it Is almost as strong as though it were. But the shell, as it stands, without its various fittings, weighs only 450 pounds. If it were made of steel, it would weigh practically a ton. The two largest openings In the gondola, just above the equator line, are manholes one each for Maj. William E. Kepner and CapL Albert W. The manholes Stevens, the crew. are fitted with covers, which will be by a clamped down until heavy bolt, easily tightened and loosened by hand from within. On the way down from the stratosphere, when breathable air has been reached, these manhole covers will be lifted from their hinges and thrown overboard attached to parachutes as ballast. Numerous small portholes have been provided in the shell of the ball. Some are covered with glass and will serve as observation windows; in some the lenses of cameras are mounted fittings; and in others scientific instruments have been placed. One port is situated In the exact top of the sphere so that Major Kepner, the balloon pilot, can look up through It and through the open bottom of the balloon appendix, and can read a large, thermometer dial near the top of the bag which will tell him at all times the temperature of the A Few Drops Every and Morning Night Will Promote a Clean, with-air-ti- ght glass-covere- d hydrogen gas.

HOW BIG A LUBRICATING JOB CAN A QUART OF OIL DO? record of motor protection HERE thata conclusively proves how big a lubricating job is and low a quart of oil can do. Six strictly stock Cars, with one fill five quarts only of six different, nationally advertised motor oils were run to destruction at the Indianapolis Speedway under AAA Supervision. Under exactly similar conditions the cars were operated until their motors failed. Here is the result: Oil No. 4 went 1713.2 miles; Oil No. 6 went 1764.4 miles; Oil No. 5 finished 1815.9 miles; Oil No. 1 completed 2266.8 miles. Oil No. 3 totalled 3318.8 miles. Oil No. 2, New and Improved Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil, piled up the amazing total of 4729 miles! That was 3000 miles farther than the first oil to go out, and 1400 miles farther than the last oil to fail.

A series of shelves have been provided inside the ball between upright posts and the shell ; and on them will be stored the dozens of pieces of scientific oxygen batteries, apparatus, flasks, and other paraphernalia needed for twelve hours of scientific housekeeping in the stratosphere.
