ZEPPELIN IS
GIVEN TESTS
FOR Big TRIP
Motors Ready for Start on
World Tour at Midnight
Tonight.
CRUISE $1,000 MILES
Dr.. Eckener Expects TO Be
Back at Lakehurst Early
in September.

NAVAL AIR STATION, LAKE
HURST, N. j., Aug. THE Graf
zeppelirfs motors awakened with
roar today in preliminary tests
while naval aerologists assembled
weather data which will determine
whether the dirigible may leave at
midnight ON an eastward cruise
around the world. .-s ...
The Maybach motors slung under
the ships curved envelope roared
nightly and appeared ready for
their greatest test.
Streaky clouds moved slowly over
the hangar. There was not much
wind.
Overnight fueling crews oyercame
difficulties and fully charged the
zeppelin's tanks, and there remained
only a few tanks of hydrogen to
be piped aboard today.
Passengers, freight, baggage and
mail probably will be taken aboard
after nightfall unless Dr. Eckener
decides to move his sailing time for
ward.
The Graf Zeppelin's mission is to
pioneer a commercial air route from
west to east. Upon the reputation
for air safety which Is expected to
be earned on this journey, DR.. Hugo
Eckener hopes to found regular
transatlantic airship service which,
in time, would develop connecting
lines until the entire world might be
threaded with air lanes.
Seeks American Backing
Within two years, Eckener be-
lieveS, his transatlantic airship
service will be realized. He is
starting his round-trip journey here
in order to attract attention Of
f1nanciers in the worlds richest
country. War impoverished Ger
many Is unable to finance such
magnificent projects as Eckener's.
Thousands OF pieces of mail mat
ter have been received here, with
postage at the rate of 1885 per
ounce. The Zeppelin's greatest rev.
enue comes from mail and freight.
Passengers require attention, enter
tainment and food, all expensive.
Even when they pay $4,000 for pas
sage, as on this trip. DR.. Eckener
would prefer other cargo. In the
larger ships he emissions, Eckener
plans for only twenty-four passen-
gers so mail and freight holds may
be increased to the maximum.
Voyage OF 21,0OO Miles
The Zeppelin is undertaking a
81 21,000-mile flight with stops at
Friedrichshafen, Germany, Toxic
and Los Angeles en- route back to
this hangar. Between fifty and
seventy hours are allotted to the
fight across the Atlantic to Ger
many. y
If all goes well, Eckener expects
to be back here during the first week
of September. Between here and
Germany, the Zeppelin will carry
freight, but for the remainder of the
journey her burden will be. COM
posed Of passengers and mail. Fuel
requirements for the longer hops
will be greater than across the At
lantic.
The Zeppelin's total time for the
flight from Germany here was 81
hours and. 20 minutes. Three hours
of this time were expended ina side
trip over New York. just under
liz hours we're required for her first
trip in 1928. Flying eastward, the
Graf will have the added push of
tail winds which will reduce the
time Of her passage.

Certainly it would be ridicu-
lous for me to deny that liquor
is sold in large and small guam
titles throughout the country,
and that practically any one
who possesses Simultaneously
thirst and as much as a quarter
or a half dollar can assuage
that thirst partially. That this
of itself proves that prohibition
has been and is a failure, | do
deny.
Let us briefly compaFesztl4e--eld-
situation. with that which exists
under prohibition. When the
eighteenth amendment took effect,
this country possessed 507 GlStiller-
les with an annual output OF 286,-
100000 gallons Q,144,000.00O quarts
of distilled spirits of various kinds.
There we're 1877 breweries, with an
output of hundreds of millions OF
gallons of beer; 5O3 warehouses con-
tanning practically 2O0000,00O GAL
Ions -(8OO,0O0,OO0 quarts) of intoxi-
eating liquor; and last, but not
least. 17S.0O0 open saloons.
Thousands of Blind Pigs.
In addition. of course. there we're
scores of thousands of blind pigs"
selling liquor of every kind-good,
bad, and indifTerent-not only in
supposedly dry towns and local op-
ton" sections, but in the vettest
OF the wet spots.
Now what is the situation?
Liquor is being sold and is obtain
able. as I have said. throughout the
country. But. viewing it calmly. 1
think it is very doubtful whether as
much drinking is done as appears
to be done.
That seems like contradictory,
If not a senseless, statement. But
il is certainly true that in the old
davs when a man took drink,
either in his home. in his club, or
in a saloon. that fact was no novelty
or news" either TO him, his neigh
bors. or the newspapers. But now
let a man. woman, girl. or boy do
very much drinking and the fact
becomes one of almost general pub
lie comment.
At country clubs they boast; in
the churches they deplore; in politl-
cal forums they accuse; but every
where they talk. The inevitable re-
suit is exaggeration of the basic
fact. My public experience has made
me believe that a psychological
maxim as accurate as an algebraic
formula Is that fact plus feeling
plus repetition equals great exag-
geration and unreliable conclusion.
And that's about the course Of most
prohibition discussion today among
both 'wets" and 'drys."
Regarded as Smart.
u is regarded as so smart and
expensive in some circles that we
might almost say a bell rings or
q whistle blows every time drinks
are passed. In the old days, a man
drank q glass OF beer or whisky,
or several Of them, all as matter
Of course.

The Bridal Chorus" from Lohen-

THIEF GETS 200 CHICKENS
ON MINNEOTA FARM


While Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Alleck-
SON, who reside south of Minneota,
were in Minneota shoppig last Sat-
urday night, a thief broke into the
chicken coop on their farm and got
away with 200 fowl. The visitor left
no traces on the farm and no clue to
his identity is known.
There were quite a few losses on
farms in this locality last summer
through chicken stealing, but the haul
of 200 last Saturday night is the first
reported here SO far this season.
Care seems to be taken each time by
these petty marauders to make their
raids when people are away from
home. Coming in motor trucks, ac-
complishing their work in a few min
utes, and getting, away with equal
speed, chicken thieves have become
almost impossible to apprehend. AS
a protection now, during the "open
season." most farmers are relying
upon wary watchdogs, with the usual
precaution of locking the chicken
Mascot.
