The Zeppelin Triumph.

Completing the first commercial round
trip through the air between Europe
and the United States, the Graf Zep-
pelin, the worlds largest dirigible, ar
rived at her home port at Friedrichs-
hafen two hours before dawn today.
The booming of cannon, the shrek OF
whistles and the cheers of frenzied
throng welcomed the big ship as it was
tenderly hauled down from the skies
and attested to Germany's pride in its
momentous achievement. Exactly sixty
eight hours and fifty-two minutes had
elapsed since the Zeppelin headed into
midnight mists from Lakehurst until
its home port was sighted directly
underneath the main cabin by its
crew of forty, its twenty-three passen-
gers and its one stowaway, the first in
the history of air transportation. This
remarkable time for distance of more
than four thousand miles added to the
records created by the Leviathan of the
skies on her epochal voyage.
Viewed from any angle, the round
trip of the Zeppelin was a magnificent
demonstration Of the possibilities Of

SHOOTING STARS.

Defeated Hermit.

Defeated Hermit.
There once was a hermit who said, LET
me be
Apart from the world, from intrusion
quite Free
He dwelt in cave, with habit austere
But radio salesman one morning drew
To turn on the tubes, in a wondrous
array
That bring in each greeting from far,
far away.
II fear" said the hermit, II haven't
a chance.
Sometimes am tempted to get UP and
dance!"
Our hermit declared he would struggle
and save
And dwell In palace instead of cave
With warders at hand, both attentive
and stout,
To watch for intruders and keep them
all out.
But the warders liked jazz; and the
radio came
To offer the speeches and tunes, just
the same.
For wealth many men may successfully
ask;
But being a hermit's mighty hard
task,
