 For three days. crowds had been awaiting the arrival of the airship from Germany but all except 5.000 had given up the vigil.
 When the Graf Zeppelin arriv- ed, the roar Of five engines of $50 horsepower seemed 10 make the air vibrate and the sliding ship became q great gray arrow, shooting through the darkness.
 Pulled to Ground
 Contrary to expectations, the ship was not moored to the mast, ropes being dropped to the land ing crew of 300 sailors who drew the ship to the ground and the passengers disembarked-
 Because of the 12-mile an hour wind blowing across the hangar 1t was decided not to berth the ship during the night and the dirigible was taken to the stub mast near the mooring tower.
 When the airship dropped out of the skies, obs9ryers on the ground could see damaged fin, which caused shi5s' to stand by. The fabric had been torn off the upper side of the fin exposing the framework and repairs were last night planned for today.

 The Graf Zeppelin was taken into the hangar at 3 o'clock this morning when the wind died down.
 Preparations were made for quick repairs to the torn fabric.

Carries Campaign Into Heart of Industrial
 New England
THREE SUBJECTS
 ARE DISCUSSED
Foreign Trade, Tariff Cues ton and Merchant
 Marine Outlined

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 16.-Car- rying his campaign into the heart of industrial New England, Her bert c. Hoover last night laid before the people of Boston his attack upon the tariff principle laid down in he Democratic plat form.
 Addressing the country gener- ally over nationwide radio chain, the Republican Presiden- tial nominee coughed criticism in strong terms. He declared that revision of tariff duties to the Democratic platform standard of reflective competition" won d mean such lowering of the tariff walls that American wages and farm prices would be depressed.
 Launching into his speech, the candidate first discussed foreign trade and it's importance general ly to the country, then turned to the tariff question and finally the merchant marine.
 The three phases of his sub iect apparently struck close to home to the New Englanders who applauded enthusiastically.
 Tariff Issue
 Taking up the tariff, Herbert Hoover declared that application of the Democratic formula would mean "a flood Of foreign goods, foreign farm produce and con- sequent reduction in wages and incomes, not only to workers and farmers but to those who labor, whether in field, at desk or at bench" !"
 MT. Hoover did not make any reference to Gov. Smith but stated his own views on the Tar if Commission which Smith dis cussed at Louisville last Satur- day.
 One Commission
 MT. Hoover declared that the d1ln 1OiDiniooioh huo o foi0'DaN arm of the Government and add ed: Tt can be strengthened and made more useful in several ways but the American people vii never consent to delegating tho authority of tariff to any com mission, whether nonpartisan ol bipartisan. Our people have ths right to express themselves b, the ballot upon such a vita question as this. There is only one commission to which is dele gated that authority and that i' the great commission of theii own choosing, the Congress O the United States and their Presi dent. It is the only commission which can be held responsible b, the electorate"
 After his speech, MT. Hoover was driven to a special trail which departed for Washington where Hoover will work on hi speech for delivery in Madison Square Garden a week hence.

EFFORT MADE TO SAVE HICKMAN'S LIFE
Largest Block of Votes
 Is Prize in Coz. Smith's
 Campaign m Home State
EDITORS NOTE: This is the thirtieth of a series of ar ticles describing the political situation in the various states.
By RUSSELL HATHAWAY LA. p. Staff Writerl

ALBANY. N. Y, Oct. 16.--New York. the home state of Gov. AL fred E. Smith, Democratic Presi- dential nominee, constitutes one of the most disputed battle grounds of the national political campaign. Because of the rich prize of 45 votes in the electoral college, the greatest offered by any Of the states, the New York contest is watched with keen interest from all parts of the country.
 The situation in New York Is unique in many respects. In this state, normally classed as Repub- lican, Gov. Smith has rolled Up tremendous pluralities in the past 10 years, winning four out of five fights for the governorship. In 1920 he ran one million votes ahead of James ". Coy, the Presidential nominee of his party, but was beaten for Governor by less than 100000 plurality in the Harding landslide.

Election Returns Analysis

Election Returns Analysis
 Analysis of election returns for the past decade shows that the Smith strength is greatest in the cities, with the country districts almost solidly Republican. Such municipalities as Rochester and Syracuse, recognized as Republican citadels, have given Smith ma jorities in some of his gubernator- ial campaigns. In addition. there has always been the alignment be- tween Democratic New York City and Republican upstate counties.
 In the present campaign New York City, with nearly six million population, is receiving unusual attention from Republican cam paign managers. In the hope of cutting down the customary Smith majority in the Greater City, the Republicans have nominated for Governor the only Republican who was elected on the state ticket in 1926, Attorney General Albert Ot- tinger.
 MT. Ottinger is resident of New York City and has e record of being an unusually successful vote-getter in the metropolis. For Lieutenant-Governor former State Sen. Charles c. Lockwood, of Brookly@ was named.
 Personal Popularity
 The party managers are count ing upon the combination of MT. Ottinger's support in Manhattan and Loekwood's great personal popularity in Brooklyn to cut down the normal Democratic majority in those boroughs taking it for grant ed that the ticket will receive the customary upstate majority
 The Democrats have drafted Franklin D. Roosevelt, former As- sistant Secretary of the Navy, as their gubernatorial candidate, with Col. Herbert H. Lehman, finance director of the Democratic Ma tional Committee, for Lieutenant Governor MT. Roosevelt placed

Ancients Found Many
Uses for the Ostrich

Several ancient nations found the
ostrich useful as well as weird
bird, a writer In the Detroit News re-
ntes. In Mesopotamla, 5000 years
ago artisans fashioned drinking cups
from ostrich eggs. The top was sliced
off, the edges We're smoothed and a
pottery lid overlaid with bltumen
was fitted, The plous Spartans are
said to have used an ostrich egg to
perpetrate n religious fraud, they hav-
Ing placed on exhibition the actual
egg laid by Leda after Zeus had WIS.,
tied her In the form OF swan. and
from which Castor and Pollux were
Matched. Egyptians found ostrich
feathers useful for ornament and the
princesses had ostrich feather fans.
Both the feathers and eggs were high
ly priced tributes from tribes to the
south, In China, Chang Kien, on hb
return from Persia in 200 d. O.,
brought something almost as strange
as Chlnas first grapes; 1t was tale
OF bird he had seen whose "eggs
were as large as pottery jars" The
Chinese were skeptlcal of such
story, but fortunately for Chang the
emperor of Parthia later sent some
ostrich eggs as a tribute to the Chi
nese court. In 101 A. d. some live os-
trlches reached China and they were
at once dubbed "camel-sparrows."
