N J The 7AI ?. slumber ed safely cradled in the Lakehurst Airdrome after a memorable tight across an ocean. Her Herman crew slumbered also nnd her four American passengers. The dirigible, which had set a new record for sustained flight, appeared none the worse for the effort. She. swayed crooningly to and fro to the tune of soft creaking tackle. Her luminous sides shimmered under the beams of a moon that penetrated her glass domed hangar. But the humans whom she had car ried so far sheltered beneath her pro tecting hulk—they were red-eyed and weary. They had traveled 5,066 miles under hazardous circumstances'^-and tljey had done It In a single continu ous flight of 81 hours and 17 minutes. This was the official i*cord, as com puted hy Dr. Hugo Kckener. com mand, r of the dirigible and president of the Zeppelin interests, and by Com mander J. H. Kliin. Jr., of Lakehurst Field. The ship's log recorded that she left Frledrlchshafen, Germany, at 6:35 a m„ on Sunday, October 12, the time being one hour east of Greenwich. She touched earth here at 9:52 a. m„ eastern standard time Wednesday. Dr Kckener was authority for the statefnent that the mileage was 5,066 Thus the average speed of the ZR-3 for the whole distance was approxi mately 62.35 miles per hour. The ap proximate average of the British R-34 during her westward flight of 2,200 miles across the Atlantic In 108 hours, made in 1919, was 29.63 per hour. As a further Indication of the strides lighter than-air aeronautics hvae tak en during those five years, the fuel tanks of the ZR-3 were one-quarter full when she" bberthed. They held 7 1-2 tons, enough, according to Lieut. Commander S M. Krauss, to have carried her 1800 knots farther or a goodly part of the distance to the Pacific coast. When the R-34 reached her destina tion at Mlnecla, Long Island, from East Fortune, Scotland, her fuel tanks held barely a half hour's supply. For her to have proceeded further would have been to court disaster. ^ Each of the 32 passengers on the ZR-3 had his story to tell when he disembarked within the Lakehurst hangar. But the most complete of them all was the story told hy the diary-log of Captain George W. Steele, prospective commander of the diri gible. lie related how on Octoher^ttl, the date set for the flight, such crowds surged at the gates of the Friedrich shafen airdrome that he was lost in the crush; how the big hag failed to rise because of atmosprehie eondi tions; how the takeoff was postponed for two days. i "The 12th of October came In on a foggy day,” Captain Steele's record continued. "When the hangar doors were open ed there was a blue fog outside. But things were better The ship had bren carefully trimmed and the tempera ture was better; that is, colder. At 6:25 the ground crew started to take the ship out and at 6:35 the engines were starred and we were off There was a great cheer from the crowd; the hand played the national air.

The German government is under stood to favor the scheme which will he put before the reparation commis sion. Washington.—Worry over financial difficulties involving real estate traus- actions, combined with, ill health, is assigned by close friends as the rea-1 son why Senator Frank Brandegee, of Connecticut, committeed suicide here. le tmr senat< The body of-the 60-year-old achator was found in an ^nused ropm in the upper floor of his spacious residence hy his secretary, W. Don Lundy, and chauffeur, George Jones. They were directed to the room by a note left on his bed which gave no motive, how ever. for the act. A tube attached to an open gas Jet was in the hand of Mr. Brajidegee, who lay fully dressed on the floor. Coroner J. Ramsey Nevill after an ex amination issued a certificate of death, which he said resulted from suicide accomplished hy inhaling illuminating gas. — ^ Senator Brandegee, a bachelor, liv ed alone except for two negro ser vants. When last seen alive by his secretary and. chauffeur, they said he appeared in the best of spirits and health. He was at home alone. Mr. Brandegee was the senior from his State and in his 19 years of service there had taken an active part in Lhe leadership of the republican party. He was chairman of the judiciary com mittee and one of the leaders on the foreign relations committee.

Washington.—Highway fatalities in the United States are estimated by the Census Bureau at 22.621 for 1923, or on increase of 3,148 over the previous year. The. 1923 death rate from Jiighway accidents was 20.4 per 100,000 popula tion, compared with 17.6 in 1922. This increase was largely due to the in crease of 2,776 deaths in the estimat ed number of fatalities from automo bile accidents. But even the 16,452 deaths charged against the automobile do not tell the whole story, as deaths resulting from PRESBYTERIANS MOHStLE REPORT ONV MONTREAT ASSOCIA TION AND ITS NORMAL SCHOOL PRESENTED. Washington.—The devotional exer cises of the synod of North Carolina were conducted by Rev. E. R. Cald well, of Graham, and like Rev. E. R Henderlite, his talk was a real sermon, spiritual and soul moving, his theme being the infinjte and exalting love of God. Dr. A. D. P. Gilmour, in his report on Union Theological seminary, urg ed the need of a larger faculty and ah increased endowment fund and library to-meet the needs of the rap idly grooving student body. They should/mive 100 more scholarships at $lmL each, he said. 'The report on the Montreal asso ciation and its normal school was pre sented hy Dr. I. S. McElroy. On motion of Rev. R. A. White, an overture w’as sent up to the general assembly requesting that body to re scind its action making the church year begin January 1 instead of April 1. for the reason that this proposition had not been sent down to the pres byteries for their consideration. While a large proportion of the synod probably favors the change ol the church year to conform to the calendar year, and making the every member canvass in November instead of March, they feel that it is too radi cal a ch'ange, involving changing the times of the meetings of all the church courts, to make without first consult ing the presbyteries. The North Carolina assembly grounds for religious workers at Mon treal was warmly commended as an excellent and cheap vacation resort for home missionaries and other church workers of moderate means Synod resolved to appropriate a small portion of its benevolentjunds for the upkeep of the homes, and endorsed the efforts, of the hoard of ttustees to raise $35,000 to enlarge the present building or erect a new one. and com mended this work to the church. Sun day schools and members. Dr. R. A. White, of Mooresville, in a speech replete in humor, extended a cordial invitation to synod to meet next year in his church.
