BRILLIANT AIDS HELP ZEPPELIN SCORE SUCCESS Young Geniuses Join With Eckener and Count to Win Public Faith. stmipsis or mr.cEOiNfi chapters At the age of 11. Hiirq Ecknfr. doctor cf philosophy nd economist ha* found lim vocation as the chief disciple of Count Zeppelin, after havlna been for 'ears the legume critic of the inventor of the rigid type of balloon. With his knowledge of the winds, gained as a bov while railing, he quickly demonstrate* that he Is a proficient pilot of dirigibles and in addition turns to the writing of new-maper articles designed to arouse public mpport for Count Zeppelin s dream- of conquering tne elements with airship-, CHAPTER VI WITH establishment of the Zeppelin foundation in 1903, a reorganization of the little company was effected. The genius of the old count had drawn brilliant young men to his side. Young Karl Maybach, then 22, a son of the chief engineer of Daimler, had come in, had designed anew engine that was to overcome the motor troubles which had already cost Zeppelin two ships. Another young man, Claude j Dornier of French extraction, was! working on control surfaces, on rudders and fins, on the effect of j the ship’s shape on its speed, and was uncovering some interesting findings not applicable to the air- j ship. Later they had him working on airplanes. The factory for Dornier flying boats was erected not far j from the Maybach motor plant, both i as subsidiaries of the airship building company which drew the sonorous name of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin.

Herr* Colsman became treasurer and business manager of the concern, thus relieving of business detail the young geniuses gathered about the old court. Ludwig Derr, engineer, who had Joined the court at 21. became a 1 wheel horse of the organization. Duerr’s confidence never wavered, j even when the older man grew discouraged. He was the conscientious j artisan and constructor of well- j made ships. Lastly, there was the new man. i Eckener. What would they do with 1 him now? # b a ECKENER himself knew bettei perhaps than any of the others the necessity of public approval. He argued that airship building was not an abstruse science, not a thing of the laboratory, but that the airship, to .succeed, must go out and do its part in a world of business and commerce; that it must take on the harness of the pack mule and the sailing boat, must be at its job of carrying men and goods. Very well, they would organize still Rnother subsidiary, a commercial operating branch. Eckener could take ! charge of operations there in addition to his duties of piloting ships. This was the beginning of Delag, popular name for Deutsche Luftschiffahrt A. G. Subscriptions to the new subsidiary opened up and it started with a paid in capital of three quarters of a million dollars, the plan being to buy Zeppelin ships and use them in passenger and mail service. BUB ASEHIES of airports and hangars over Germany was necessary if the ships were to go freely to different points for passengers, and To travel with any degree of regularity and certainty. Dr. Eckener found out through bitter experience what the American airplane industry was to learn later, that the success of any air operation lies partly on the ground. At the beginning of operations, Delag had only one shed; that was at Baden Baden. They built one in 1919 at Frankfort and Luftschiffbau, she building company, erected one at Potsdam. ' The Delag Hangars were equipped with electric lights, piping for hydrogen, docking rails which would hold the ship against cross hangar winds. All had railway connections as weH with waiting rooms for passengers and crew’ and at each point was a meteorological station. The Hamburg-Ainerican Company took over bookings. Interest in Zeppelin operations grew apace. If Delag was not able

So came the sheds at Dusseldorf in 1910, at Johnannesthal near Berlin, and at Gotha in 1911, while Hamburg Leipzig and Dresden put up hangars in 1913. Most of them were double sheds, accommodating two ships. n n a THE Schwaben went into service in 1911, having a speed of fortyeight miles and space for twentyfour passengers. It made more tl 100 flights in a year between Lake Constance and Berlin. * The Viktoria Luisc and the Hansa were added in 1912, having 670,000 cubic feet capacity—about one-fifth the size of the Graf Zeppelin, and the Sachsen, the same size, was added the following year. Eckener now was in command of a fleet. Flights were made over the North sea to Helgoland and Denmark, to Nordenay, to Copenhagen, to Vienna. Many flights in the early days were two or three hours long: returning to the same harbor. Interhangar flights or inter-city flights were presently scheduled of eight and ten hours, charging from S6O lo $l5O in fares. All flights carried army and navy men who were taking training. For the German navy was beginning to buy airships and looked to Delag to instruct its personnel. Every German airship pilot in the world learned his art from Hugo Eckener. 808 DELAG operations ended with the outbreak of the World war. Up to that time the five ships had made nearly 1.600 flights, carried 35,000 passengers, had flown the equivalent of four times around the world. But then came the war and commercial activities had to be set aside until happier days. (To Be Continued) Next: Dr. Eckener, Zeppelins and the war.

LOCOMOTIVE OF 1829 MODEL IS SOLD TO FORD Flivver King Has Replica of Famed Iron Horse Made England. By Science Service DETRQIT. Sept. 24—One of the newest products of British locomotive makers has arrived in -this country, where it will be placed on permanent exhibit at the Ford Museum. It is not distinguished for its beautiful appearance, for its power or speed, as this locomotive is an exact replica of the Rocket, built in 1829 by George Stephenson. It won a prize of £SOO that year in a contest conducted by the Liverpool & Manchester railroad for the best locomotive. Os five competitors, the Rocket was the only one to fulfill the required conditions. The original Rocket now is in the Science Museum at South Kensington, London, but Henry Ford wished to have one for his museum at Dearborn. He commissioned the original builders, Robert Stehenson & Cos., Ltd., who are still in the same business, to make an exact replica. Many difficulties were encountered. The original engine was greatly modified and improved by George Stephenson after 1829. Asa result It now is quite different from what it was a century ago in the contest. No complee contemporary drawings of it could be found, and, of course, everybody who had seen it long since had died. However, by careful study of the original, observing, for instance, positions of the rivet holes, with which fire box first had been fastened, an accurate idea was gained of the way it had been made. Some of the terms used in old records to describe it were unintelligible. For instance, in an old letter to his father, Robert Stephenson said that the tubes of the boiler weere “clunk” in. Nobody has been able to find out what is meant by “clunking,” ,or “clinking,” tut the tubes were put into the replica in the way that probably was most used. One curious feature of the original is that the cylinders were inclined steeply, though Stephenson later made' them horizontal, as in modern practice. The inclined cylinders were attached very lightly to the boiler, so that there was always danger of them wrenching loose. The horizontal cylinders proved sufficiently rigid. Another peculiar feature was that no brakes were provided, even though the locomotive proved Itself capable of a speed of thirty miles an hour. Soviet Ambassador in London By United. Press LONDON, Sept. 24.—Valerien Dovgalevsky, Soviet ambassador to France, was expected today to confer with Arthur Henderson, British secretary for foreign affairs, on resumption of Anglo-Russian diplo-matist-relations. Dovgalevsky arrived from Paris Monday night.
