THE PEOPLE, BARNWELL, S.

ZEPPELIN SETS NEW RECORO
TANKS ARE ONE QUARTER FULL
WHEN 2R-3 IS CRADLED AT
LAKEHURST.
Lakehurst. 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.

Would Let German Build Zeppelin,
Paris.—A scheme which would post
pone the dismantling of the Zeppelin
works at Friedrfchshafen, Germany,
for at least two years and hy which,
the construction of another giant diri
gible, similar to the ZR-3 would he
made possible, was described -in Le
Journal. A French company which
has purchased patent rights from the
Zeppelin company with the intention
of using them for commercial diri

per, has suggested that the Zeppelin
company build another ZR-3 for France

The German government is under
stood to favor the scheme which will

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.

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

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. His death

Increase in Deaths on Roads.
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

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. Mr. Turling
ton, the elder of the Mooresville
church, seconded the request, and told
of their fine new church and other ac
cornmodations. The invitation wa*
accepted with a rising vote.
