ZEPPELIN ADDS
NEW APPARATUS
Larger Horizontal Rudder Put
on Ship for Next
Ocean Flight.

BY the Associated Press.
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN. May AL
though the great dirigible Graf zeppe-
lin has weathered many a storm and is
no longer q new vessel, 1t will take of
on its first flight to South America May
10 more perfectly equipped than it has
ever been before.
Not only did the officers and crew
gain invaluable experience in navigating
and running the airship during the
round-the- world fight in 1929, but this
experience has resulted in number OF
improvements
Rudder Improved.
Thus the horizontal rudder has been
enlarged considerably and reinforced.
This means that the dirigible can rise
or drop much more easily than hitherto.
Up to now, if the officers wished to drop
from $500 meters to 800 meters or rise
similarly, they had to sacrifice consid-
cradle gas or ballast and the maneuver
required time The test flights of this
year have shown that changes in altl-
tude can be easily and quickly accom-
plished with the new rudder at the loss
of almost no ballast or gas.
4 will be recalled that the Graf nearly
ran into a mountain during its Inflated
attempt in May, 1929. to fly to America.
when the engines went wrong and the
dirigible struggled through the Rhone
Valley, vainly trying to get back to
Germany and having finally to land at
Cuers, France 1t was only Eckener's
presence of mind in instantly dropping
ballast that saved the passengers from
certain death. This experience, at the
narration of which all participants in
that flight still shudder probably was
the deciding factor in changing the
rudder.
New Dynamo Added.
Another decided improvement is the
attachment of a second gondola besides
that for the passengers, this gondola
serving as the central station for al
electrical apparatus. The new gondola
contains two auxiliary motors and a
dynamo, and supplies the current need
ed for lighting cooking and other pur-
poses. Hitherto all electric current
came from generators which depended
for their yield upon the speed of the
airship When the dirigible Travelled
slowly the current was insufficient.
The world flight has further shown
Just what parts of the upper hull are
subjected to special strain. At these
points the material has been reinforced
and the five motors have, of course, been
overhauled.

Treasury officials estimated that
the majority of people who paid
taxes on $4,000 or more could be
rated as millionaires. An income
Of this size rates a $1,000000 prin-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-From

has been prohibitioniSt.
The author of the Jones law, fix
ing five years In jail and $4,000
fine as a maximum penalty against
violators of the Volstead act, OBJ
tanned his adherence of rum soon
after he learned to walk and before
he started to school.
In front of the Jones log cabin
in q dry township of central ILL
nois, Jones was playing with his
mother one afternoon when he saw
a man staggering along the path
of a nearby woods. The man fell
to the ground, lying there until he
caught hold of a sapling to try to
pull himself up.
He nearly regained his feet when
the sapling gave way and he slipped
again into the dirt. THAT man is
drunk" Mrs. Jones told her young
son
When he was 10, there was some
talk at the family table about a
druggist who was being tried for
having sold liquor. There was no
drinking in the Jones family. The
township was dry under local option
and drunkenness was not very wide
spread. Later in southern Illinois,
where Jones spent part of his boy
hood, he lived in another temper
ance community.
The first time Jones really en-
countered liquor was when he moved
to Yakima, Wash, but by that time
he was opposed firmly to the use of
alcoholics. There were many Sa-
looms in the town of 800 inhabitants.
He never held public office there,
except for three weeks when his law
partner, the district attorney, was
away and he filed the post. There
were no liquor cases during the
three weeks.
Jones Stunned the bars of Yak
ina like he Stunned the bar in the
basement of the Capitol when he
came to Congress. He noticed, dur
ing his early Washington days
thirty years ago, that many drunken
senators and congressman appeared
on the floor in debate. He believes
one of the benefits of prohibition
Is shown in the fact that very few
members have appeared to be
