4 ' ‘ Hugh Allen Syncpis of Preceding Chapters Dr. Hugo Eckener, educated as & scientist and philosopher, was one of the leading critics of Count Ferdinand Zeppelin in the early days when Zeppelin was first en- deavoring to prove his theory of the rigid balloon as a successful means of navigation of the air. While Zeppelin was devoting his time to dirigible construction Dr. Eckener was contributing articles to the Frankfurter Zeitung, many of which pronounced Zeppelin’s theories impracticable. He re- ferred to them as the “air castles of an air count.” But in 1906, aft- er.the wrecking of Zeppelin's third dirigible, the student and the skydreamer met. * * * CHAPTER IV “On a spring morning of the year, 1906, as I was working in the garden of my house in Friedrichshafen, my cook came running towards me and ‘Count Zeppelin is here and wants to talk to you!” She was quite excited, for Count Zeppelin was al- ready at that time a well known per- sonality, perhaps not so much famous said: as considered an original, for he wi a cavalry general who idea into his head that he wanted Kyes Believes North Dakota: Merchants Have Eliminated Many Losing Lines Although merchandising conditions continually are changing, North Da-| @ kota merchants have looked farther into the future than their fellows regions east of the state.

Dr. Eckener was then more than 4 years old, and had devoted his recent years entirely to the study of economics and writing. His had been the secluded life of the student, Zep- pelin's the active life of an army of- ficer. Zeppelin was now the strug- gling inventor, Eckener the critic.

The blimp left here Friday to take paxt in military maneuvers at Fort Snelling, but a cross wind and fog kept her from doing more than sail- ing over the reservation and the Twin Cities. Fog early Saturday caused the craft to lose her way and fly to Duluth before getting her bearings. Going north the slip was in charge of Col. John A. Pacgelow, command- ant the field here. Lieut. O.
