its heavy load of fuel.

Prepared For Mishaps
Guiding his big gray ship to-

The Zeppelin work revealed
coincident with the takeoff, that
the dirigible was prepared for an
emergency landing, carrying sup
plies and equipment which would
enable the experienced members OF
the group aboard to lead the pas
sengerS and crew out of almost
any adventure in the northern
waste.
Turning first toward Berlin, the
second lap toward the roundthe-

Graf Zeppelin over Moscow, over
endless stretches of plains and
mountain ranges of Siberia within
a few degrees of the artic circle

all down the northern ASiatic
coast to the capital OF Japan.
Like Polar Expedition
The Graf Zeppelin is equipped
as though the flight were a we'll

 On that occasion one of the planes ground looped on the take-off and sliced a wing tip through the side of the hangar. The ship was brought to a halt so ably that there was no con- fusion among the passengers, even though one of them was an air nov ice who had never flown before this journey. Another plane was pressed into service to take the place of the one that ground looped. and in so doing ripped the metal covering from its wing tip, and though the passengers were an hour and a half late in leaving Clovis. they were 20 minutes ahead Of schedule when they dropped down into Imperial Valley that night.
 Return Trip smooth
 The return trip, despite rain and wind of considerable intensity was made so smoothly that at no time was the going rough enough to pre- vent the passengers reading or writ ing in their diaries.

Hunts Rat With Truck and Gets His Quarry

Motor trucks have been used for many and strange purposes, but killing rats with a motor truck involves a proficiency in expert driving and motor craftsmanship which was dem onstrated probably for the first time in this city by the driver of delivery truck for a Park street grocery this morning.
 The truck, with the name V. Abecunis on the side. was pro- ceeding south on John street at a speed of about 20 or 25 miles an hour. There was no other traffic in sight. Suddenly the truck shot towards the left curb at increased speed, swerved just as rapidly toward the right curb, the driver damned on the brakes and within a distance of 50 feet from where the first out burst of speed occurred came to a stop.
 A laugh from the driver fol- lowed with the exclamation: T guess I got him all right" fur nished a clue. Investigation re- vealed the fact that a big rat had darted out from beneath a hedge near a chicken coop and impudently started across the street. The journey never was finished.

Fifty small boys in ambush couldn't have made more noise than the editor when he heard that mo- body had sent in a letter guessing Donald Hart, the broker, whose sil- houette appeared in the newspaper the New Britain Herald-last eve- ming. If this keeps up, that Mon- treal excursion will soon be paid for with enough money left over for lesson four on the trombone aboard the train going and coming.
