These are the several stages Of the
tentative plans Of DIR. Hugo Eckener
To further convince the world fhat
transocean mail and passenger traI-
fic by airsnip, demonstrated as teasi-
BILE and practicable by the Graf Yep
pelin's flight across the Atlantic, has
come to stay and to be developed.
Encouraged BY Results
Attacked by one section of the
German press. especially by the So
cialist and radical Democratic pa.
pers. for having sold the news mo-
nopoly to the Hearst newspapers
and to two German groups in order
to finance the first flight to Amer
lea, iibed at by some American
editorial writer's for the same reason
and for not covering 3 distance Of
5000 miles in less than 112 hours,
though the Atlantic was never be.
fore spanned so quickly with pas
sengers. DIR. Eckener told me today
before leaving for Lakehurst that
he Is returning to Friederichshafen
greatly encouraged by the tremen-
dous welcome accorded him and his
ship in the United States, and de-
termined to go ahead with new
plans.
DR.. Eckener left the Warwick
Hotel, where. he has been making
his headquarters. in the forenoon.
and together with Lady Drumnond
Hay. paid q visit to the Metros Gold
wyn Studios. Then he motored to.
the river where fast n1otorboat
was awaiting him and took hims to
Long Island, where he lunched with
Otto III. Kahn at the Iatter's country
home. He left at o'clock by motor
for Lakehurst. where the big silver
ship of the air. which brought us
safely from Europe through sun
shine and storm, was awaiting his
command to glide out for the return
flight with the first favorable wind.
Happy Over Interest Shown
II am very happy and greatly
encouraged by the genuine interest
evinced and sincere warm welcome
extended to us here in America,
said Doctor Eckener to me just be-
fore he left New York. I'VE shall
go ahead with our plans to develop
the airship and airship traffic over
the oceans until both become a
permanent branch OF modern trans
portation. The rapidity Of that de-
velopment will depend chiefly upon
the financial means that will be
at our disposal. With England

direction, and we in Germany do

velopment will be much more rapid
than many people may think. Our
critics OF today will become our ad.
vocates of tomorrow"
DR.. Eckener said that he plans
to make the next flight to America
with passengers and mail just as
soon after arrival at Friedrichs-
hafen as possible. ''It depends
wholly upon whether or not we will
have the necessary .Blau' fuel gas.
I have had q report that the gas
factory built for US at Friedrichs-

\ HOUSTON, Texas, June 2l.-For
the first time in its history Rice In.
stitute, the nations richest privately
endowed school, has turned over its
entire housing facilities TO aid the

prise. The Rice dormitories, &C.
comodating 500 persons, have been
turned over to the democratic ma.
tional arrangements committee fol
use in housing visitors to the con.
v%ention here June 20.
Rice Institute was builded by tbs
William Marsh Rice estate in 1919
When Rice, one Of the city's pioneer
citizens. died in 1900 he left an es.
tate which was dedicated to the en-.
dowment of a university for the free
instruction of both. sexes. This en-
dowment has in recent years reached
a valuation Of S14. 900, 900.
AS a lad Rice migrated from
Massachusetts and made his home in
Houston. Here he accumulated his
fortune. and the establishment OF
Rice Institute was an expression al
his gratitude to the city wherein he
prospered.
Upon the personal recommendation
Of Woodrow Wilson. then president
Of Princeton university. DR.. Edgar
Odell Lovett, professor of astronomy
at Princeton. was chosen president
and toured many leading countries OF
the world studying methods Of teach
ing higher instruction.
Ii was demanded that Rice attain
the standards of a university OF the
highest grade. ~stipulating no upper
limit TO its educational endeavor ard
no lower limit than the level reached
by students graduating from the bet
ter public schools and private schools
preparing for college.
Thus Rice Institute was builded. of

The present enrolment Is about

fusal Of admittance TO hundreds of
students annually. Its campus Of 800
acres covered with semi-tropic vege-
tation IS one of Houston's most at
