Sir Dennis's main criticism of the R100 and the R101 (and also of the German Graf Zeppelin) are that their cruising speeds are far too low.

"Upon the score of safety alone," he maintains, "the speed passenger ship should be raised if possible to not less than- 90 miles per hour. Consequently, the R100 and R101 and the Graf Zeppelin must be looked upon as merely preliminary staps in the evolution of a practical commer cial vessel..

The widow of Sir Charles Bountiful of Lichfield, was a charitable unselfish lady. Half her income was devoted to charitable purposes, and not only her money, but also her time was spent in the service of the poor and needy.

All loved her except the doc tora, who considered that she meddled with their affairs.. Indeed she did." She has cured more people in ten years," sald her nephew,:"";

"than the doctors have killed in twenty."
