ECKENER GIVEN NEW HOPE; BAN ON ZEPS LIFTED Restrictions Taken Off by Allies and Work Begins on Great Ship. CHAPTER XI THE four years that followed the delivery of the Los Angeles to America were the longest in Dr Hugo Eckener's life. The projected dismantling of the great Zeppelin works had been delayed, but the allies 4 restrictions on Zeppelin operations still held. Lehmann and Amstein and a dozen of the best engineers had gone to America. Count Zeppelin was dead. Von Gemmingen was dead. Eckener had come into the mastery of a once proud organization, to find it only a shelL He felt manacled. Sometimes he would start work furiously on new projects, but what was the use? Plenty of time now for the garden, for sailing, for books—if one felt like it. Large Capital Needed Restlessly he moved about through the almost silent shops. It too klarge capital, large vision, large faith to build airships. America had lost the Shenandoah, France the Dixmude, Great Britain the ZR-2. While in Germany, where the airships were best understood, there remained not only the political interdiction but grave financial difficulties even if the ban were to be lifted. Presently a ray of light came through. A Polar flight had been j proposed. Perhaps the allies would consent to a scientific ship being built Count Zeppelin had successfully appealed to the people of Germany for support and they had responded. Hugo Eckener prepared a lecture, outlining his hopes and plans, showing what the airship was capable | of doing. It was enthusiastically re- I ceived. • Things began to brighten up elsewhere. The Spanish government became interested in an airship line between Seville and Guenos Aires, and made available a subsidy for a j commercial company. Lehmann 1 was called back from America to work on this project British and Americans Act A labor government in England had authorized construction of two Zeppelin-type ships, each of 5,000,000 cubic feet, twice the size of the Los Angeles. The American congress had authorized one ship, then finally two, to be even larger—6,soo.ooo cubic feet though actual appropriation of money and letting of contract was to be delayed for some time. Money was coming in surprisingly from Dr. Eckener’s lectures. In all he gave more than 100 addresses and raised 2,500.000 marks. Then finally came the electrifying news that the allies, restriction on Zeppelin ships finally and definitely were waived. The way was clear to go ahead. What a furor this created in Friedrichafen, both in shops and in the village. The government became interested, finally granted a subvention of 700,000 marks more. The new' ship would be the greatest one they had ever built. They would call it the Graf Zeppelin, in honor of the founder. Concentrate on Ship A pity they couldn’t build a 5.000,000 cubic foot ship, but the largest hangar they had was still too small to permit that. And there was no money to build a larger hangar; they must concentrate on the ship. Fuel gas experiments had been worked out successfully. A gas perfected by a Dr. Blau which had excellent heat properties and was just enough heavier than Hie air to flow easily into the motors, but still so light that consumption of fuel did not change the weight of the ship as gasoline did and so compel the waste of hydrogen to compensate for it. Maybach had already completed anew carburetor which would take either gasoline or fuel gas. Duerr was working out the arrangement of the various gas cells, the 12 Blau gas cells below, 17 hydrogen cells at the top. There was one other circumstance KIDNEY PAINS AND RHEUMATISM GONE Farmer Is Able to Work Again, After Years of Illness. Trying to work a farm, while crippled and in constant pain for several years, was the hard task faced by Matt Reiland, Route 4, Stockton, 111. He tells of his recovery, in tHb following letter: “I suffered from kidney tro\jble and rheumatism for several years. My back ached so I could hardly bend. My head ached, and the pains in my limbs were very severe. I was anemic, my blood was poor, and I was so weak and dizzy that my farm work was almost impossible. But today, life looks entirely different. My rheumatism is all gone and there are no kinks or pains in my back. My kidney trouble has disappeared, and my sleep is not disturbed. I am eating hearty meals and feel fine in every way. It feels wonderful to have good, rich blood coursing through my veins. I trace all this change to the day I started taking Viuna. My wife and son are both taking ft now, ! with wonderful results. Viuna has I surely been a God-send to our family." Viuna has worked wonders in thousands of desperate cases of kidney trouble, back-ache, stomach trouble and rheumatism. It may be the making of you.

80 and 69 —They Elope
He is 80 and she is 69, but to get married—they had to elope! David De Lair and Mrs. Rachae Cameron, sweethearts when youngsters, found objections from the former’s guardians, stopping their wedding plans for three months, and finally eloped to Council Bluffs, la., and were married. Now De Lair's guardians say De Lair will never get possession of his $60,000 estate unless he returns to his home, Oketo, Kan., and annuls his marriage. The case is now in the Kansas courts.
that gave the commander anew zest in the undertaking. Knut Eckener, his boy, would go along on the flights of the Graf Zeppelin. Asa youngster Knut had given much promise. He had a ninborn gift for machinery, was tall like his father, active, daring. He had smuggled away on a number of flights in the early days, but an attack of flu when that epidemic was sweeping the world during the war had left his heart so badly affected that physicians doubted whether he ever would be able to do a man’s work in the world. But Knut had slowly built himself back to health, had gone to college and just had been graduated at Munich with distinction in engineering. He was now taller than his father and physically fit.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
A. F. OF L. IS ■ LOSING GRIP IN SOUTHERN AREA North Carolina Leader Is in Favor of Independent Union in Section. MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY United Press Staff Correspondent CHARLOTTE. N. C., Sept 28. The American Federation of Labor today, temporarily at least, was the center of interest in the southern textile mill labor situation. A conference today comes at a time when the situation is muddled by the activities of the left wing of the labor movement in organizing textile workers by the frank antipathy of many leaders of both employers and employes towards any jabor organization which is not strictly southern controlled; and by past and present difficulties of the federation in the textile mill field. This week a former president of the North Carolina State Federation of Labor, in a lengthy statement, frankly said an all-southern organization, not allied with the American Federation of Labor, was, in his opinion, tlje only solution of the problem of organizing the textile mill employes. While cotton mill owners will not comment publicly, conversations which the United Press correspondent has had with leaders of the industry revealed that they favored such a union, if the textile mills are unionized. The A. F. of L.’s position is made difficult by the recent apparent failure of the strike it called in the textile mills at Marion, N. C., and by the failure eight years ago of its efforts to organize the mills in the Charlotte and Gastonia region where the left wing leaders now are at work. The federation also Is in difficulties, apparently, at Elizabeth, Tenn., and vicinity, where a strike vote was taken this week in the rayon plants and was overwhelmingly against a strike.

The bandit herded Cobb and three other theater employes into an inner room and ordered the assistant manager to open the safe. 44 Can't,” Cobb answered. “No one but the express company knows the combination. Snarling, the bandit scooped up a pile of currency and stepped to the door. “Don't move for five minutes,” he warned. Cobb jerked his pistol from a pocket, ran to the door and opened a sliding panel. He could see the holdup man fumbling with the false knob of an outer door. He fired three shots into the back of the latter's head. The bandit was about 35. His clothes were expensive and new.

“I WAS AMAZED AT QUICK RELIEF KONJOLA GAVE” Indianapolis Man TelU How New Medicine Relieved Complication From Which He Had Suffered 3 Years. A medicine of many delightful surprises is Konjola, the modem compound of 32 ingredients that has become the most talked of medicine in America. As highly as this medi- ] cine is recommended by the many thousands who have tried it; as famous as Konjola has become; those

who give it a trial almost invariably express wonder and amazement at S the quick and thorough results it gives. Day after day the Konjola Man, who is at Hook’s Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, giving the I public the facts about this new medicine, hears these expressions of $ surprise and delight from men and | women who have found new and glorious health through this medi- J cine and who are eager to tell the t glad story of Konjola’s merit for | the benefit of others who may be* suffering as they did. Recently I Mr. John Bernhardt, Sr.. 2467 South! Pennsylvania street, this city, called f upon the Konjola Man and told how f this modern medicine relieved a| complication of ailments from i which he had suffered for three J years. He said; I “There certainly is a world of * merit in this new medicine, Konjola. It has restored my old-time health to me. For the past three years I was troubled with stomach j and liver disorders. I could eat j only about one good meal a day, j and that gave me a great deal of j misery, lias would form, and I J would belch up a hot, sour liquid. 'Pigfg was an almost constant | aching in my stomach and a heavy j feeling from undigested food was j often experienced. This condition j affected my liver. My tongue became \ badly coated. I had dizzy spells every ] now and then, and would have 1 headaches that would last for two or three days at a time. I could J not find any medicine that would j stop my troubles. “I read so much about Konjola I and what it was doing for so many people that I thought I would give j it a trial. I had hopes that it would I do me some good, but I was amazed I at the quick relief it gave me. After 1 taking seven bottles of this medi- I cine all of my health troubles have ] disappeared. I do not have any j more headaches or dizzy spells. My I stomach is in good condition, ands I can eat heartily and sleep sound- 1 ly. I am in a splendid state of j health and I owe it all to Konjola. J I feel sure that what this medicine I has done for me, it will do for j others." Taken after meals. Konjola works s with the food you eat, cleansing and stimulating ailing organs, helping j nature to drive out poisons and im- j purities, and bulid up new and I glorious health. It contains no alcohol, no nerve-deadening drug*, j no* heart-depressing chemicals. It j is pure, powerful medicine, every j drop, and every drop works. The Konjola Man is at Hook's j Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and j Washington streets, Indianapolts, 5 where daily he is meeting the public. introducing and explaining the merite of this new and different medicine.—Advertisement
