For instance, any girl wishing to marry a man who was not one of her overlord's "subjects" had to pay for the privilege.

Another "righ" "on which Telaims are based is that under which the "aubjects" of the lords of the manors had to contribute in kind to the marriage dowries of the latter's sons and daughters, the compulsory gift usually taking the form of poultry or grain.

AIRSHIP TO CARRY AEROPLANES.

'WORLD'S BIGGEST, WITH

12,500 MILE RANGE.

Plans for the largest and most powerful airship in the world have been approved for the Ameri- can Navy.

r. Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy, accepted (as briefly re- ported in yesterday's Daily Chroși- cle) the report awarding first prize in the U.S. Navy compati- tion to the Goodyear Rubber Co. for a design for a dirigible of 6,500,000 cubic feet.

The new airship will be capable

of carrying five neroplanes, which, will be placed inside the envelope. of the dirigible. It is planned to launch these deroplanes from the airship while in the air.

Inclined plane runways of special design are to be placed in side the airship from which the aeroplanes can be launched. The aeroplanes can also be taken aboard again after finishing their lights.
