C. ZR-3 PERFORMANCE BETTER THAN HOPED Speed and Carrying Capacity Dem- onstrated—Another Trip Planted. BY A. R. DECKER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily BERLIN, Auguzt 29.—The first long flight of the American Zeppelin ZR-3 will be over Flensburg, Capt. Ecken- er's home on the North Sea, some time next week, as it has been decided to change the fastenings on all motors and gondolas where they were too tight. The Zeppelin, in its first flight, at- tained a speed of 33 meters per sec- ond, or 2 meters more than was ex- pected. Also the net load is 3 tons more than the constructors hoped. During the flight a storm penetrat- ed Capt. Eckener’s charthouse, wet- ting the charts and making a little lake on the stabilizing platform. The technical experts who accompanied tha ZR-3 state that the new apparatus for measuring altitude, speed, level, wind velocity and drift are satisfac- tory. They are innovations in air cruising. (Copyright, 1924, by Chicago Daily News Co.) Will Stay at Dayton. By the Amcocinted Press. DAYTON, Ohio, August 29.—McCook Field officials yesterday were inform- ed that Dayton would become the permanent home of the ZR-3, the world's largest dirigible. In the plans for the relocation of field, provision has been made for the giant craft. Plans for the Dayton field include a large steel hangar at least as spa- cious as the naval hangar at Lake- | hurst, N. J. The ZR-3 will be delivered to the Navy for a six-month test, and after that it will become the property of the United States Army Air Service. Until the new field is completed the dirigible will be housed at Scott front porch of Louis | pield, Belleville, T1I. An effort will be made to have the huge ship pass over Dayton on its maiden flight in this country. Noted Physician Dead.
