GIANT ZEPPELIN
SAFELY MOORED

LAKEHURST, N. J. Oct, l6 R,
Completing a journey Of some
$500 miles which kept its sixty
occupants In the air for more than
III hours, the German dirfgtble
Graf Zeppelin dropped down on
American soil at dusk last night.
The Graf Zeppelin appeared
first as a faint smudge low above
the northern horizon. Slowly, as
daylight began to fail, it took
definite form although its metallic
coat remained dim gray in the
dusk. Hah-again as large as the
Los Angeles, which completed a
similar journey just four years
ago today, the Zeppelin seemed
to swell as it approached until 1t
blotted out half the sky.
It showed no lights in the deep
ening cleaning and its idling
engines we're inaudible until it
was above the field.
The great ship suddenly gave
its engines full throttle to dive
downward to a position near the
mooring mast Contrary to ex-
pectations, the ship was not moor
ed to the mast, ropes being drop
ped to a crew of 500 sailors who
drew the ship gently to the
ground

Archie B. Graham were shocked
to learn of his death on his ranch
at Las Vegas, Nevada, on October

tude. His loyalty to Nevada was
manifested In his selection OF Las
Vegas, where he engaged fruit
raising after leaving here.
He retained his affiliation with
Reno Lodge No 597 up to the
time Of his death. Funeral SER
vices were held by Las Vegas
Lodge No. 1853, Tuesday. We Will
miss Brother Graham. His forti-
tude and cheerfulness during his
years of failing health will imbue
our hearts with courage.

OPENING UP
NEW WEALTH

For some years there has been
more or less Of slump in many
Western mining camps. but now
most of them are bustling with
activity, and new locations are be-
ing developed.
This means greater prosperity
for the nation. Copper, lead, zinc
and the other metals, both base
and precious, must be produced
in greater quantities than ever
before, to meet our needs.
Mining is the worlds basic in
dustry A country with great
mines has an underlying quality
of greatness. A country lacking
in mineral resources must Strug-
gle against an almost overwhelm-
ing disadvantage.

pIained to the astonished foster
parents what had happened at
the station but Mrs. O'Day did
not seem unduly disturbed. She
reminded Nancy gently that
they'd better be getting to the
hospital. They both had a feei-
ing that Julie Abbott might not
be alive; as they entered the
darkened room the pitiful figure
lay with her eyes open on the
white cot. A nurse tiptoed in.
raised the shade bit and started
to take the patients pulse.
Not until then did Nancy and
Mrs. O'Day notice there was an
other person in the room. Kneel-
ing against the dresser. her head
on her arms, was a, woman OF the
circus. Her face was hidden as
she was crying. Beside her on
the dresser was an open box con-
tanning papers, and a few letters.
No one said word. The nurse
snapped her watch, and made a
gesture conveying more eloquently
than words the warning that
death was in the room.
When ~she had gone, Julie
opened her eyes and tried TO
speak. She attempted to raise
her hand to Nancy, but it dropped
back. and only the fingers moved,
as though she wanted Nancy to
come closer.
Are you--my--little-gi
She forced the words out. then
closed her eyes again as though
the effort had exhausted her.
Nancy dropped her head to the
pillow beside Julie. Mrs. O'Day
looked into the two faces. mother
and daughter. How much alike
they were. The moulding of their
chins, the lips were the same.
But Nancy's face was young
face, child's face almost, frank
and innocent, while on jules the
marks of hard life insisted on
showing through the beauty of her
features and the fairness of her
skin.
The eyes. blue lidded, startling
against the white of her face,
opened again.
I'm your-mother. Have they
told-you?' The words. were
dragged out
Can you. forgive-me-bab
girl?"
The efforts of talking exhausted
her. The blue lids closed again.
Nancy took her mothers hand in
her own.

These were the last coherent
words of Julie Abbott. She died
