GIANT NAVY DIHIGIDLE'S
FIRST TEST is SUCCESS

LAKEHURST, Sept. 5:-The navy
dirigible ZR-1, largest craft of its
kind in the world, rests today in its
great hangar a supreme accomplish
ment.
The anxious concern for months
of those in charge of it's construction
was relieved in a fifty-five-minute
test fight last evening when the
huge craft rose above the heads of
the 1000 spectators gathered to
watch the maiden trip of the vessel.
Every cylinder of the giant bal
looms many engines, every ounce of
lifting power, every member of the
staff of men and officers in charge
of the launching, functioned perfect
ly. The great ship rose majesticaily
over the landing field, the roar of its
motors completely drowning the
cheers of the spectators.
Rising quickly, the biggest balloon
swung slowly around the field. The
engines were at no time operated at
more than half speed. The vessel
travelled at a rate of 80 miles per
hour. When about a mile from the
field the cleaning hull turned back
and headed for it's home.
