It is named in honor of Count Zeppelin, “Graf” be- ing German for “Count.” through the air. The great Ameri- <> can dirigibles Los Angeles and Shen- =~ andoah are far surpassed. The float- ing liner of the air is at last a re- ality. Some idea of its possible speed is given by the estimate of Dr. Hugo Eckener, the designer, that the big =” ship could fly from Berlin to Tokyo Se in four days. ; “To begin with, the Count Zeppelin =~ offers far better passenger accom- T> modations than any airship yet built. « Twenty passengers can be carried, two to a room, in commodious, Pull- i> mon-type staterooms.

To- ‘wards the bow, along the bottom, protrudes the forward end of the cabin, running back in a straight line and merging almost impercep- - tibly with the keel. The great size ™ of the ship dwarfs the five small gondolas so that one hardly sees them at first glance. Entering the cabin at the forward end, one enters fitst the control room, where captain, navigator and helmsmen have their stations. Big windows give unobstructed vision ~ straight ahead and on both sides. Back of this comes the navigation and chart room, extending the width of the cabin and filled with the mul- titude of dials, gauges, wheels, levers and so on with which dirigibles are uided. J Powerful Radio F From the rear of the navigation room opens a hallway leading to the ack, On one side is the radio room, vhere there is installed a set power- ful enough to keep the airship in touch with land stations throughout ~ a transatlantic voyage.

Big * cushioned sofas run along two walls, From the rear of this compart- “ ment opens the passageway leadin; ™ to the staterooms. There are ten of these, five on each side. Each one hes an upper and a lower berth of the Pullman type. The walls are *“ papered, and there are curtains on the windows, a built-in table and a stool in each room. Beyond the staterooms are too roomy wash- rooms one for men and one for women. At the very back the pas- sage opens into the interior of the vast envelope itself.

The present practice of valving out hydrogen to make up for the loss of weight as fuel is con- sumed will be done away with. 4 Amazing as the Graf Zeppelin is, however, it will not be long before still another superairship comes to gurpass it. The British are now building a veritable giant, the R-100, which will go even farther along the road of size and luxury. The R-100 will carry 100 passen- gérs and have three decks, or floors, in its living quarters, all built into the hull. The lower deck will house the crew and working quarters. On the second deck will be a dining toom big enough to accommodate 50 diners at once, flanked by state- rooms, with a reomy promenade tunning around on the outside. A wide staircase will lead up to the third deck, where there will be more staterooms and another promenade deck, on which passengers can lounge at their ease in deck chairs as comfortably as they do now on big steamships. There will be a well-stocked bar aft of the dining Toom. In its outward dimensions the R-100 will not look larger than the Graf Zeppelin. Its length will be éven shorter—709 feet—although its diameter will be 133 feet. It is planned to equip it with Diesel en- gines which will burn heavy oil, CAPITOL BOOZE SALES ALLEGED Augusta, Ga, Oct. 11—(P)— Charges that the prohibition law was not being enforced and that he could buy liquor under the dome of the United States capitol at Washington were ‘made here by Senator Cole L. Blease of South Carolina last night in a Democratic campaign address. “If every manin the United States,” he added, “who takes a drink, votes for Governor Alfred E. Smith for president, he will get the biggest majority of any nominee in the history of America.” Declaring that government trucks geen by soldiers go to Baltimore from Washington and Eriog back liquor landed there, and deliver it in homes of the capital, the senator said: “No man or woman in Augusta as foolish enough to think the pro- hibition law is being enforced.” CRAFT CROSSES FRENCH BORDER ON FIRST JUMP (Continued from page one) be thrown overboard but the man- agement will have it placed under seal by customs officers at Lake- hurst.

Harbor Booms Farewell , Westward with the setting sun the ‘iant whaler, last of the vessels to} leave American waters, through Harbor Channel last night amid diam of farewells from whistling harbor craft and crowds that lined the piers. The shrill whistle of street cars was even raised in sending forth godspeed to the explorers. Frequently the 18,000 ton whaler gave back a booming an- swer. Modern communication methods made it possible for the commander to have farewell talks with his mother, Mrs. R. E. Byrd, in Winches- ter, Va. and his brother, Governor Hany Byrd at Richmond, Va. The telephone company had brought a special line aboard ship to make this possible. ‘ As the boat threw off its lines, it slipped away from the dock without a the commander. A moment previ: ously he had stepped ashore for other farewell word with his wife. She had accompanied him to the dock an hour before and waited in an automobile until he had boarded the ship.

Mr. Johnson, owner of the Wan- darey Farm at Casselton, N. D., addressed the 35th annual conven- tion of the National Association of Farm Equipment Manufacturers to- day at the Nicollet hotel on the sub- ject “The Farm Equipment Manu. facturer and Modern Agriculture. “A new relationship has been {entered into by the farmers and the manufacturers of farm Mr. Johnson asserted. is tela- tionship has been developed by the | realization on the part.of the farmer 5 ated f rHURSDAY 1924 MARKETS By Asvottaten Pree Leased Wise ee pared to B43 a year ago, | Minne: Early Upturns Follow Blizzard |! ds*k northern Reports from Canada and yptied India Buying Chicago, Oct. 11—(AP)—Evening up of accounts to prepare for tomor- row’s holiday helped give an appear- ance of strength to the wehat mar- ket toda: jesides, demand for fu- @ ture deliveries of wheat was stimu- lated by wintery weather northwest and by purchases of 500,000 bushels of Canadian wheat for the Orient. ‘ Meanwhile, drohght complaints from domestic wheat territory southwest continued, with sowing of wheat practically throughout the western two-thirds of Kansas. Wheat closed firm, 1-2 to 5-8¢ to 7-8¢ net higher.

Increasing- the rice of those things which the farmer has to sell is one method, while the other is reducing the cost of producing these farm commod- ities, “It is this second phase,” he con- tinued, “of improving agriculture that brings the implement manufac- turers and the farmers into such close relationship. Both are inter- ested and should do their utmost to cut down the cost of production through the adoption and imp: ment of labor-saving equipment. Mr. Johnson told manufac. turers that farm equi t com- Prontisefi 25 per cent of his capital inventory, exclusive of his land. He warned of the danger of farmers buying or manufacturers selling new and untried equipment which was not mechanically or economically satisfactory. In this connection, he suggested an even closer cooperation between the manufacturers, the farmers and the agricultural colleges and experiment stations for the purpose of testing and trying out new machinery be- fore it is placed on the market. Varies Farm Program Speaking of the benefits of di- versification of crops and livestock in the Northwest, Mr. Johnson said he often had been asked by persons who have visited his farm as to what he specialized in. “After some talk I have come to the conclusion that my specialty is diversification,” he said. “Under this one-fourth of my land is planted to alfalfa and sweet clover, one-fourth to corn ‘and peckoes, one-fourth to oats and tley for seed and one-fourth to wheat and flax for cash crops, sions from “a conscientious jou! nalist” and from records which had been investigated carefully. Mr. Hansbrough made the state- ment, he said, in reply to a denial in Washington last night by Henry J. Allen, Republican publicity direc- r. Mr. Allen denied that the nom- inee has any interest in oil wells, lands or concessions in Colombia of Mexico. The former North Dakota senator called for the withdrawal in an ad- dress before the Lawyers Smith- Robinson club of Minneapolis. Mr. Hansbrough said that the journalist referred to, whose pen name is Jonathan Wickwire, “pub- lished a monograph copyrighted by Kathetine M. Switzer at Washing. ton, D. C., giving a succinct account of the facts le had gathered and in connection with this he included a map of the Republic of Colombia, showing the location of the lands in which Hoover held an interest. “It was this monograph that came into my possession a short while ago and, as alread made an inguiry which ified me of its reliability and certainty of its importance in connection with the Present campaign.” Today he received a tele; from the writers of the docu nt, Mr. Hansbrough said, which shows that Hoover's brother Theodore still has an office in London and was connected with a company up to ioe which controls mines in Colom- a.
