J6H CHtCe0 Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Hugo Eek
ener, commander of the German
dirigible Garf Zeppelin, announced
today that the tentative itinerary
of the ship on its flight TO the mid
die west would include Cleveland,
Akron, Chicago and Detroit.
He said an attempt would be
made to fly over as many smaller
cities on the route as possible.
Eckener said he expected repairs
on the damaged fin of the zeppelin
would be completed by Friday eve
ming or Saturday morning. The
commander will go to Lakehurst
Thursday to confer with naval ex-
pertS on the condition of the
dirigible.
May Take Passengers
After the mid western trip the
Graf Zeppelin will start on its re-
turn flight to Germany as soon as
it can be refueled, Eckener said.
It has not been decided whether
passengers will be taken on the
flight to Detroit. That will be de-
cided at the conference at Lake
hurst Thursday, and if it is decided
to carry passengers, the price OF the
tickets will be fixed then.
Feting of the men who guided the
Graf Zeppelin in its perilous jour
ney from Germany to the United
States continued today with New
Xork's enthusiasm of welcome
abated only slightly.
There was no parade today, such
as the one that gave New York the
chance to shout "hochs" and Ameri-
can cheers, but the officers and
crews are to be guests at several
receptions and panquets. The Ad-
vertising club the German society
and the German-American Board
of Trade all planned to honor Ecke-
ner and those others of the crew
who can be spared from repairs on
the Graf Zeppelin.
Visit Coolidge Thursday
New York'S official welcome to the
fiiers will end tonight, after which
Eckener and several Of the other
crewmen will go to Philadelphia
and thence to Washington to re-
ceive official greetings. At Wash
ington they will be breakfast guests
of President Coolidge.
Most of, the difficulties of the
landing have been cleared up. While
there was momentary disagreement
over actions of certain United
States officers, almost all Of the
passengers and members of the crew
have dismissed them as unpleasant
nesses that are better forgotten.
Only Albert Grzesinski, Prussian
minister of the interior, has pro-
tested officially and his protest was
cabled to Germany.
The welcome to the Germans

Episcopal Clergy Suggests
MatrimOny Glasses
in Schools.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE
ideal marriage age is % years for
the bridegroom and "A for the bride,
the Episcopal commission on di-
vorce said today in its report.
Marriage in which the bride is un-
der 81 vars Of age, or the bridegroom
under "a, are dangerous and more
so if the couple is younger, the COM
mission said.
Marriage of persons over SO years
of age are 20 per cent more likely
to result in domestic difficulties
than are marriages of the ideal age,
the commission added.
After three years the commission
failed to reach a workable solution
for the divorce problem, it reported
to the general convention.
Probe Is Extended
The commission asked that its in
vestigations be extended for another
three years.
Four major reasons for the great
increase in divorces were stated as
follows:
l. The breakdown of home life.
2. Hasty marriages.
3. Sex tension between husband
and wife.
4. Lack of practical training for
marriage.
Contributing factors were found
to be the lack of children; crowded
apartment house conditions in
cities; lack of understanding Of the
problem by the clergy, lawyers and
social workers, and the financial
tension existing in many families.
Three Recommendations
The commission offered three rec
concentrations:
/. That normal schools, colleges,
universities and senlinaries be asked
to offer more instruction on the
subject of human relationship,
especially on the subject of mar
riage.
2. That the clergy of the church
be urged to give training for mar
riage a conspicuous place in their
programs.
8. That social service commissions
be asked to give special attention
to the whole problem of marriage
and divorce.

AIR MAIL TIME CHANGES
Plane for Chicago VIII Leave at

Beginning Friday, the Chicago

stead of Sis. Potmasster Robert H.

The air mail for Chicago will
close at 5:15 p. m. instead Of 4:3o.
That means letters for the plane
must be at the postofflce by that
hour.
The change is necessary for the
winter because of the early fall of
darkness and the failure to light
the air mail route from Chicago

government was to have lighted the
route, but is delaying action until
a location for the proposes mu-
nicipal airport is picked.

Lawyer Who Defended Pair
Thinks Killers Deserve
to Stay in Cell.
BY DAN KIDNEY

Let Loeb and Leopold remain in
prison."
That is the verdict of Clarence
Darrow, famed and costly defender
of the murderers of Bobbie Franks,
rendered in a breakfast discussion
today of the mechanistic philosophy
which he will defend tonight in a
debate at Cadle tabernacle.
Recently the chairman Of Illinois
state prison board reported that the
wealthy and youthful life prisoners
may be released from that institu-
ton in few years, due to an error
in their commitment.
Although Darrow will appear to-
night to defend his conception of
Man the Machine" against the
more spiritual philosophy Of Rabbi
Morris M. Feuerlicht he asserts that
society has right to protect itself
by imprisoning murderers, although
as individual machines they are
blameless.
"If Nathan Leopold and Richard
Loeb had been sons of parents Of
moderate means that murder case
would have been disposed of in one
day rather than taking four weeks"
the defense attorney asserted.
Keep Them in Prison
what was done in their case
thoroughly is in keeping with the
spirit and practice Of the Illinois
law. In the face Of plea Of guilty
and in view Of their youth it would
have broken a precedent of los
years standing to have taken their
lives.
81 do think they should remain
in prison, however"
Seated in a special dining room
with Mrs. Darrow, Rabbi Feuerlicht,
his managers Of the debate and
Mayor L. Ert Slack, who will pre-
side this evening, the 71-year-old
Chicago philosopher unlimbered his
guns against any thrust made at his
mechanical man.
Returning to neutral ground,
Rabbi Feuerlicht told Darrow that
the Claypool marks the sight Of one
of Lincolns famous addresses.

Denounces Volstead Act
''You see, I've been speaking every

to reporter and said:
"You can tell the world didn't
get this way talking for Hoover"
He pointed out that in most states
he would be able to get quick relief
for frog in the throat by pre-
scription from the nearest doctor to
be filled at the nearest drug store.
Published reports that he Is tee
totaler were denied by him with a
chuckle.
"I am not a teetotaler and never
have claimed so," he said. Neither
have I used liquor to excess and if
anyone is interested to know do
not eat to excess either"
Then after a vigorous denuncia-
ton of the Eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act he continued
