New Giant Zeppelin Is A Flying Palace Details of Her Luxurious Equipment Revealed fo: By Latimer Shaw UXURIES such as sky-travel- ers have never enjoyed before are contained in the new 804 foot Zeppelin, the Hindenburg, world’s | largest airliner, whose May 6th de- parture from her home nest at Frankfurt-am-Main for the great naval dirigible hangar at Lake- hurst, N. J., stirred the interest of the world. On board, as commodore of all the Zeppelins was the veteran Dr. Hugo Eckener, the most re- nowned and experienced pilot of all lighter-than-air liners. In actual command of the Hindenburg was Capt. Ernst A. Lehmann, a pupil of Dr. Eckener since 1915. The Zeppelin carried a crew of more than 50 picked men. Her voyage marked the beginning of the first regular trans-Atlantic passenger} and freight service by air. Nothing approaching the com. forts of the Hindenburg has ever before been envisioned for aerial voyaging. In 25 luxurious state- rooms she carried 50 passengers, twice the capacity of her illus- trious predecessor, the Graf Zep- ‘NYA EMPLOYES HEAR TALKS AT SCHOOL HOUSE | ADVANTAGES THAT YOUTHS OF TODAY HAVE FOR AD- VANCEMENT STRESS=D BY VARIOUS SPEAKERS More than 200 y« West employed on i Administration project heard jterday, in= jby a number of sons.

It is a distinction for the American pet- roleum industry that, after more than a year of exhaustive tests, Veedal motor oil made from 100% Pennsylvania crude oil won the right to lubricate the new Zeppel- in’s motors, after serving the Graf Zeppélin in like capacity for six years and the automotive equip ment of both Byrd Antarctic expe- ditions.
