ECKENERDARES MANY HAZARDS IN WORLD DASH Great Zeppelin Navigator Is Master of Sky in Epochal Flight. Thl ft th* Thirteenth chapter of the life .tore of Dr. Huro Eekener. master of the Graf 7-eppelln. The final chapter will appear Friday. By HUGH ALLEN Among the men closest to Dr. Eckener there was grave doubt as to the wisdom of attempting the world flight so successfully completed by the Graf Zeppelin this lummer. The Atlantic ocean had been conquered. The Pacific leg would be long, but with good weather service such as the United States navy and the Japanese would supply, would not be difficult. The trip over the American continent would force the ship to climb to high altitudes, and it would be rough over the southern Rocky mountains. But the trip over Siberia caused all to hesitate. "I have weighed the hazards however, said Dr. Eckener. “The trip will be made.” There was no appeal against this decision. Crew is Loyal Among officers and men of the Graf, there was no hesitancy. Not one, but was fully ready to go wherever Dr. Eckener led the way. The flight to Lakehurst from which point the start of the journey was to be made, was done without Incident. Dr. Eckener wasted no time with social activities, had no time for receptions. And four days after his landing at Lakehurst. the ship was off again. Thus time for once he got the breaks of weather. He made his fastest trip across the ocean, completing the first leg of the journey In fifty-five hours. He passed his sixty-first birthday over the Atlantic ocean. Siberia was next. It had been freely predicted that the Graf would follow the line of the Siberian railway. Then if he did get into trouble, he would find help at hand. Eckener Takes Chances But Eckener was no half-hearted explorer. “The northern route is better and shorter,” he said. “We may fly as far north as the Arctic ocean.” Weather service was available till he passed the longtitude of Moscow. He had been invited to fly over the ancient Russian capital, but the weather was unfavorable and meant delay. He passed on. Once over the Urals, Dr. Eckener knew he would have to fall back on his sailor's weather wisdom. He never left the bridge during those days and nights. One could sleep at' Friedrichshafen. There was work to be done now. Faces Many Perils On he pressed over never-ending wastes and swamps and vast w’ooded areas. Forest fires burned beneath him unheeded by man. Weather information almost entirely lacking. Dr. Eckener found another difficulty. His maps were more than unreliable. There were mountains where the maps showed no trace of them. Mountains that were charted climbed to heights far beyond those ascribed to them. Passes he expected to find were blocked by huge ranges. Hs had to fly at 6,000 feet and in so doing sacrifice hydrogen gas which escaped from the cells in the lighter upper atmosphere, thus cutting down his lift. But the fates were with the Argonauts. Presently they were able to oplck up the Japanese radio stations, to learn what was ahead. It was nothing pleasant. A typhoon sweeping down the Asiatic coast and across the Bay of Japan. Tokio is Reached Now a successful landing at Tokio. Three days in Japan and then off for America. An accident to the docking rails dented a power car and caused a day’s delay. But this was a detail. Dr. Eckener had figured five days for the 6.000-mile trip across the Pacific. Los Angeles awoke on the third day to find the Graf planning to arrive by midnight. The ship reached the coast near San Francisco before dark, made the last swing down California and reached the terminus by 2 o'clock in the morning. Los Angeles was the only stop on his route where no hangar was available. The navy mast at oan Diego had been set up temporally at Mines field as a hitching post for the Graf. Dr. Eckener circled about Los Angeles until dawn. Back on U. S. Soil Then he slowly descended, and again was on American soil after having crossed both odfcans upon which the United States has its shores. He waved aside numerous plans for functions in his honor. •'We leave tonight,” he said. Turning to Lieutenant T. G. W. Settle, loaned by Lakehurst as technical officer, he asked: “How Boon can you have gas and fuel in?” “We'll be ready by 6,” said the navy officer. “You came so fast you did not use up as much fuel as we had expected, so our task is simple.” “Good.” snapped the commander. “We could have gone on to Lakehurst without refueling, but we will stop during the day. The weather

Pimples on Face. Itched Very Badly. Cuticura Healed. “My face was covered with pimples and blackheads. The pimples were very hard and red and festered and scaled over. They itched very badly causing me to scratch, which caused eruptions. I could not sleep for several nights. The trouble lasted about a month. “1 sent for a free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and it seemed to give relief Afterwards I purchased more, and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment I was completely healed.** (Signed) Mrs. Lillie Vinson, 6345 Dubois St, Detroit Mich, Feb. 9, 1929 Soap 25c.

is in our favor now. We will move with it.” Off again. Across the mountains and vast plains; Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, New York and again In the hangar at Lakehurst. Around the world in 21 days 7 hours 34 seconds. Received and congratulated by President Hoover, a formal welcome to New York with the traditional trip up the bay, a parade up lower Broadway in a storm of ticker-tape and fluttering paper, while thousands cheered and waved one of its typical greetings to a hero. But the receptions and the honors were secondary matters to Dr. Eckener. A few hours’ sleep after stepping from the control room of the Graf, and Dr. Eckener again emerged, not as the pilot and explorer, but the business man. Bankers to be interviewed. This must not be considered a “stunt” flight, but a demonstration to convince the world of the practicability of Zeppelin transportation. (To Be Concluded) Next: Riding the storms.

DAMAGE TOLL HIGH Port St. Joe, Fla., Suffers Heavy Loss.
