Sinclair also referred to the

render to the world.

do no other service so important to
itself and to the world as to lend
every possible constructive effort
to the wide cause Of natural re-
sources. I shall do no more here
than to state that belief"
Outlining the scope and progress
OF the Sinclair business. he wrote:

to 500 million gallons.
The normal charging capacity of
the company's refineries. when we
started business, was 81 100 barrels
day. Today they have a capacity
or more than $4,000 barrels a day
and our production of casing-head
gas rose from nothing to a daily
average OF nearly 100000 gallons a
day.

Still glowing from the warmth OF
his official welcome in the Capital,
DIR. Hugo Eckener, commander of the
Graf Zeppelin, took Off rom the naval
flying field at Anacostia at 7:14
o'clock this morning to fly to New
York, where grand reception awaits
him.
DR.. Eckener left Washington in
the same transport plane in which
he was flown down from New York
yesterday afternoon.
While here he called on President
Hoover and most of the Cabinet
officers in town, expressing his
thanks for the aid rendered the
Graf on the round-the-world flight,
and being congratulated in turn
for the great feat.

Is. In the day time we would
not have such outstanding land
marks as the lights. Almost
comical from our height was the
luminous impression made by
slowly moving automobiles.
Looking down we could not see
the automobile, but only the
headlight and the shaft of light
it throws.

by the way in which the field
had been kept clear for as,
and know enough now about
landing exigencies to appre-
ciate what it meant; the eff

hard work that the whole af-
fair must have cost the organ
iZers and executives.
Crowds of people came to
see the Yep off. She was still
tied to the mast when we ar
rived, and was told that no
visitors had been allowed to go
over the airship. Subsequently
however, / learned that the in
tensive pleadings of William B.
Leeds had procured for Miss
Raquef Torres and Monte Blue
the privilege of being the only
visitors to the interior of the
Graf during the afternoon.
Leeds Stays With Ship
Mr.. Leeds persistency in over
coming regulations against no
visitors is quite understandable
to everyone who has been
watching him on the flight. An
enthusiastic flier himself, he
has stuck close to the Yep all
the time, staying around it at
moments, days and hours when
all other passengers preferred
the distractions of "town life."
While the airship was at Ka-
sumigaura, Mr.. Leeds used it
as his hotel, sleeping on it
every night with the officers
and crew rather than living in
Tokyo.
Once on the airship field we
still had quite a job to catch"
it. Karl Won Wiegand and my
self came near being left be-
hind. In all the running about
and scramble we got separated

Hospitals were in readiness for
their reception.
Offices Besieged
Anxious relatives and friends of
passengers and crew of the San
Juan besieged thgk offices Of the
Los Angeles and San Francisco
Navigation Company operating the
steamer. There was little they could
be told. The passenger list of
those aboard the steamer was in
complete. Many of the passengers
had purchased tickets at the last
minute and their names were aboard
the vessel. Steamship. officials were
making every effort to check their
available list, but it lacked addresses
OF passengers in many cases.
Capt. A. F. Asplund, last seen
going down with his ship, was
relieving the regular skipper of the
San Juan, who is on his vacation,
His staff included First officer
Tulley, Second Officer Olson. Chief
Engineer James Norton and Purser
John Cleveland.
Built In 1882
Built in 1882 in Chester, Pa, for
the old Pacific Mail Company, the
San Juan was pioneer in coast
waters. She piled regularly on the
Central American run until the
Pacific Mail passed out of business
in 1925. At that time, she was
taken over by the Panama Mail
Company, and later was sold to her
present owners.
She was 2S3 feet in length, Of
1908 registered tons, with capacity
OF 30 passengers.
The San Juan was heavily
patronized by passengers who
sought leisurely trip between San
Francisco and Los Angeles, for she
stopped at Santa Barbara on her
regular route.
The tanker Dodd. built In 1920
by the Moore Shipbuilding Company,
Of Oakland, is a modern steam oil
tanker, equipped with the latest en-
gines and oil-handling machinery.
She is 425 feet long, with a beam
of 81 feet and nodded depth Of 33
feet.

Once in a while the Liberty has
 a movie feature that is exception ally we'll done and life-like. Sat-
 urday's showing of "A Girl in Every Port proved to be very fine enter tainment, the equal, in some opin- ion, of What Price Glory. The happy -go-lucky sailor character was never better protrayed than by this movie. The story is of two sailor pals adventures in the pur- suit of girls in the different ports they visit, and he action, setting and acting is so clever as to keep ones eyes glued to the screen. It necessarily has to be somewhat strong in places to be true to life. The program is on tonight again for the last time.
