160 Miles In 1 Hour, 36 Min.
BERLIN.—(AP)—Franz Kruckenburg’s “Zeppelin on wheels” to
day held a world’s speed record on rails of 143 miles an hour.
The silver-grey locomotive traveled 160 miles between Hamburg
and Spandau, a suburb of Berlin, yesterday in one hour and 36
minutes. The time was four minutes better than that of the reg
ular passenger plane between the two points.
Herr Kruckenburg, his wife, Willy Black, the pilot, and three
assistants made the trip, pronounced smooth and uneventful ex
cept for short stretches of fog.
The inventor said his coach was capable of even greater velocity.
The “Zeppelin on wheels” is a stream-line railroad coach driven
by a propeller and powered by a 12-eylinder airplane engine. It
seats 50 persons and travels four miles on a gallon of gasoline.

LONDON.— (AP) —The Prince
of Wales will be 37 years old to
morrow—and still a bachelor.
Britain seems to have accepted
the situation as his final decision,
for there isn't even the usual
crop of rumors buzzing around
his blonde head. Instead there is
much comment on his change in
the last year from something of a
playboy Prince whose main job
was to inherit the British throne
to a business Prince who means
to help restore Britian’s lost
trade. This year he spent nearly
four monthg on s South Ameri
can trip and “its serious purpose
was well known.
Since his return he has re
sumed his various public appear
ances, but mostly they have had
a business angle, like his speech
es to English bysiness men.
There are no special plans for
tomorrow, sometimes, however,
the Prince has luncheon or din

all.
