Graf Commander Describes Al.
 most Unknown Mountains

Washington, D. C.. April 5. - Geography of little known areas Of Siberia, observed on his flight around the world, was described by Dr. Hugo Eckener when he came to Washington to receive the Special Gold Medal of the National Geo. graphic Society.
 Tt had been my original inten- ton to perform the flight over Rus sia and Siberia along a so-called greatest circle-route, thus avoiding the mountainous parts of southern Siberia which during the month of August are nearly constantly cover ed by heavy rain clouds and fog" Dr. Eckener said. This greatest circle-route would have led us fur ther to the north by the mouths of the rivers Ob and Yenisei and along the northern and middle section of the River Lena.
 "On the way, when our ship was over the central Russia, I received " CdtllGl lepOlLS. dllIluuHClllS d "luc- spread area of bad weather in the northeast corner of Russia which made it appear likely that the Ural in its northern parts would be cov- cred with rain clouds. We would then have been compelled to cross the mountains at a considerable height, so as to avoid stranding on the high mountains.
 ITO fly at such an altitude would not have been feasible in the begin- ming of our trip with the heavily loaded ship. Thus. I was forced to pass over the Middle Ural and to run a more southerly course be- tween the 60th and the 65th para- lels. Perhaps this change in course, from geographical point of view was no disadvantage because we thus passed districts which were

tude. But what altitude would be necessary?
 'The handbooks say that in the district in which we intended to pass, the mountains were hardly 4,000 feet high. But we were obliged to climb constantly the nearer we came to the coast. We went up iron, 5000 to 4,oo0 feet and then to 5000 feet, but still tho ridges and peaks were higher than we flew. Finally we worked our way through at a height of nearly 5000 feet, fol- lowing a deeply cut valley and cross ing ridge at only 300 feet altitude over the ground.
 "The peaks to the right and to the left l estimated to be still 800 to 300 feet higher. After having surmounted this last ridge we found the mountains dropped very steep ly towards the ocean. It was a grand and nerve-straining flight through fantastic unknown moun- tain regions, perhaps the most beautiful part of the whole world flight"

highly interesting and impressive and which gave a fantastic picture of nearly inaccessible region which in its entire extent had hardly for a distance been scanned by human eyes.
 Immediately after passing the Ural range we got over the swamp district of the so-called Taiga, which stretches widely along both banks of the River Ob. We crossed these swamps over a course of 800 to 900 miles. In this terrible district to live. Wherever the eye looks at meets with wastes of green and gray swamps which would retain with deadly arms a wanderer and would not again release its prey.
 Having passed the River Yenisei we then crossed a desolate and de- serted hilly country. following gen. erally the course of the Lower Tun- guska. From the vast virgin forests below us and from the deeply cut narrow river valleys which ws passed no hand waved up to us. Only occasionally daring hunters I may invade these regions when they are temporarily freed from the ties of a fierce winter for 8 short sum- mer of two or three months only. l To the south and to the north there arc mountain ranges which are hardly known and not entered on the maps in detail.
 "The watershed between the Rivers Yenisei and Lena proved to 1 be a table land, slowly inclining to- wards the Lena, deserted and bare, not inhabited by men, vast space of detached isolation. But then having passed Yakutsk, the most in- teresting and as to landscape mos, | fascinating part of the Siberian course began. We had to pass over the range of the Stanovoi Mountains which separate the Lena district from the Okhotsl Sea. To this part of the journey ] had from the beginning been looking forward with the greatest interest becaus, the formation and height of these mountains was entirely unknown te us.
 Tn geographic manuals there was hardly to be found a hint thereof. Therefore, if the mountains were covered by clouds we would have to pass them at a high alti.

about 1o,0o0,0o0 pounds went to The Netherlands; Sweden took about the same amount, while Norway and Italy each took thousands of pounds.
 Salvador balsam has figured in Salvador exports since the Spaniards first settled there. Balsam. which $ used for its medicinal properties, is the sap of a tree that is indigenous to Salvador. But the early Spanish settlers shipped the sap to Peru where it was reshipped to Spain. Hence the misnomer Peruvian bal- sam which is. in reality. as Salya- dor insists, 'El Salvador Balsam' Three-fourths of Salvador's balsam is shipped to the United States while Germany and Great Britain take nearly all the remainder"

Of HIGHWAYS

A statistical story of the growth
OF highway systems in the United

IN Highways Handbook, a recent
illustrated publication of the
Highway Education Board.
The building of the modern
highway system" says Thomas H.
Macdonald, chairman of the
board, in a brief introduction,
has no counterpart in the public
works of any nation.
THE construction of the Pan
anna Canal was q task of large
magnitude; its completion a great
national achievement: yet large
as it was the contribution of the
Federal Government alone to the
construction of highways far out
measures it, and the part of the
Federal Government in the pro-
gram of road improvement has
been relatively small. The greater
part of the work has been done by
the States and their subdivisions
THE story of this great con-
Etructive work needs no elabora-

built and money invested are i'm
pressive beyond need of added en-
phasis: and it is such an unem-

ALIEN ENTRIES
SHOW DROP

The State Department has ap-
piled the economic rule" regard
ing immigration SO effectually
that it has cut Mexican immigra-
ton from 10000 annually to less
than 5000, it was learned today.
IA similar result has been at
tained with respect to Canadian
immigration.
While Mexico and Canada are
not in the quota limits prescribed
for many nations, President
Hoover discovered that by com.
pelling would-be Mexican N
migrants to show they were liter
ate, were in good health and
would not become public charges,
he could stop cheap Mexican
labor from flooding the United
States.
These are the requirements for
Immigrants from other countries
in the quota system and the Pres
ident decided Mexicans and
Canadians should conform to
them before they secured visas.
So well has the new rule
worked that during the last fiscal
year only 730 Mexicans were ad-
mitted to the United States, as
compared with 58,173 during the
fiscal year 1928.
Taking August as a typical
month, figures compiled by the
immigration Bureau show that in
that month in 1927, 6,116 Mex
leans were admitted. During the
same month in the three follow
ing years the numbers were:
6,557 in 1928, 1,64O in 1929, and
in 1880, 425.
For the same month and same
years the Canadians admitted
were 8,131, 6,104, 7,4O8 and 4,187,
respectively.

10 DANGERS

Nine teams Of endurance dancers

as their only reward for dancing
1,160 hours.
The Marathon dancers, who
started August 81 in the Rainbo
Gardens, quit Saturday night after
one of the promoters Of the dance
who had offered nearly $4,000 in
prizes walked out.
Disappearance of the dancers
trainers was the first inkling to
the nine couples that something
was amiss. Then the nurses dis
appeared, followed by the judges.
In fact everybody but the 10
boys and girls who had been
dancing since August 81, knew
that something was wrong. When
the cooks and walters left, even
the tired hooters became SUSPECT

Finally q private detective ap-

rest their feet. He said:

The editorial says:

have been prosperous. They
have made some bad blunders,
and the biggest blunder was
their quarrel with william

not done Mr.. Hearst any
harm. It has conferred a
favor upon him, for he was ex-
PEELED, not for being anti
French, but for being pro-
American.
"This blunder Is going TO do
France o great deal of harm.
