 It was only with the greatest diff ficulty that the huge ship was walked into her hangar and the sansplank put up after flight that had car ried her over the north Atlantic in Il hours and 12 minutes complet- ing the first round trip transatlantic commercial air voyage in history.
 Arriving exactly three weeks after his start from Friedrichshafen Oct. II on their American voyaEe Dr. Hugo Eckener and his crew found their fellow townsmen delirious with Joy. The police had given permits Sion for the cafes and restaurants to remain open all night and this meant that to all intents and purposes that the town didn't go to sleep for fear Of risking missing the landing.
 Won't Budge
 Thousands of spectators even re. fused to budge from the airdrome although their feet were soakeJ from dew. When the dirigible ap- preached those who had remained in the cafes and restaurants rushed to the airdrome by every conceivable means Of locomotion, probably the oddest being a baby carriage in which sat two men holding Amer,. can and German flags. The vehicle was hitched to an ancient automo. bile.
 The police had taken what an. peared careful precautions to rone on the crowds from the landing field put no sooner had the Eondolss touched the ground than the iutilant mob broke through end upset all the police calculations When the com. mand was given to t.,ke the atrxhip Into the hangar, tho crowd marched along and helped pull.

FAMED CHRISTMAS
 HYMN IS ANCIENT
Was Written by Village Priest
 Century Ago

Oberndorf, Near Salzbufg, Aus tria. Jan. '. R1"Silent Night" best known of all Christmas songs. owes it's origin to q simple pre-Christ- mas party to which & young priest. Joseph Mohr. was invited in 1913.
 At Oberndorf 1t was the custom shortly before Christmas for wan dering comedians from the nearby village of Laufen to give crude rep- resentations of the Christmas story as recounted in the Bible. A ship- owner named Maier invited Joseph Mohr. young assistant priest who had recently come to the village from Salzburg. to be his guest at . little party. As special surprise for the priest, Maier arranged for the comedians from Laufen to stage their festival play tt his home.
 The thoughtful hospitality of the Maier couple and the touching simplicity of the festival play so stirred the young priest that in- stead of going straightway home, he climbed the so-calied ''Toten- berg." (mountain of the dead) over- looking Oberndorf and stood there in silent meditation.
 The silence of the night, the blinking of the stars. the murmur of the Salzach river all inspired him. Quickly he descended to his parish house, and late that night the words to "stille Nacht" were written.
 The next day he hurried to his chum and o-worker, Franz Gruber, village organist and school teacher. He requested his friend to write the music for his song. Happy at this opportunity. Gruber composed the melody that Is known perhaps to moro people than any other single melody.
 Christmas eve of 1slS came, and the priest and the teacher were ready to offer the song for the first time. Unfortunately, the organ of St. Nicola was out of, commission that night For a moment 1t seemed as though the congregation were to be cheated out of this unique premiere. But Gruber ran back to his home and got his guitar. To its accompaniment Mohr and Gruber then sang "stilte Nacht' for the first time as duet.
 When they left the church that night the whole parish was gath cred outside to applaud and felici- tate them. The song had touched them deeply. With tears in their eyes the two friends embraced on the steps of the church. Since that evening "Siient Night" has become @ favorite Christmas song around the world.
