The real objective of the pair was not certain until after the| start because some thought Coste was determined to fly the Atlantic Ocean to New York. The Question Mark was rolled out of the hangar at dawn, stripped of wireless and then heavily loaded with every gallon of fuel that could be stored aboard. The plane cleared the runway at 1,000 yards, touched again at 1,200 yards before rising sluggishly to disappear in the direction of Sois- sons Rao. The last bit of freight taken aboard by Coste was fishing tackle which they could use to keep thewi alive should they be forced down in the river districts of North Rus- sia. The immediate destination of the Question Mark is Irkutsk and from there the flier plans to hop fo ‘Tokyo. The plane can remain up 50 hours, - e — Grap Zeppelin Is Rented to Baron For Pleasure Trip FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany, Sept. 27.—The Graf Zeppelin took off this morning for a one-day pleasure cruise over Switzerland.

Within its uninviting portals, one of America’'s greatest industrial giants has been subjected to the leveling influence of prison life where money and power are impo- {tent.

His fare offered quite a contrast, naturally, to the excellent cuisine to which he has been accustomed breakfast—hominy grits and bacon, bread and coffee; dinner—beef stew and pickles, bread and water; sup- per—kidney beans and syrup, bread and tea. Sinclair has lost 15 pounds while in jail but his plea for a pardon on the grounds it was impairing his health and further that large buiness he directs was suf- fering failed to shorten his sentence further. Sinclair recently made a plea for clemency to the Department of Justice which forwarded it to the President recommending that none be shown. GOL.

Lindbergh !is to fulfill America’s idea of the noblest Bird Eagle, flying above the America and will study from aloft, the vast ruins of the continent of ancient civilization and search for others expected to be found hidden in the jungle tangles hitherto un- known.
