GIANT DIRIGIBLE ON FLIGHT
Navy Airship to Cover More
Than Nine Thousand Miles
in Longest Cruise Ever
Undertaken
BY JUNIUS B. WOOD
(Special Correspondent of The
Atlanta Journal and the Chi- .
cago Daily News)
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal —Copy-
right, 1921.)
(Junius B. Wood, noted war
corespondent and for the last
three years chief of the Far
East staff of The Atlanta Jour
nal and the Chicago Daily News,
is the only newspaperman
aboard the dirigible Shenandoah,
which sailed today from Lake
hurst on her trans-continental
trip.
The Navy department inform
ed the newspapers and press as
sociations that only one reporter
could be taken along to keep the
country informed of the prog
ress of the trip by means of
radio bulletins front the ship,
and Mr. Www* ttovrMwr tempo
rary duty in Washington, was
the reporter selected. This ex
clusive dispatch of the object of
the trip was written by Mr.
Wood just before the Shenan
doah took to the air today.)
LAKEHURST. N. J„ Oct. 7.
What may be a new era in trans
continental transportation is inau
gurated with the start of the dirigi
ble Shenandoah today on its 9,000-
mile aerial voyage skirting three
sides of the United States. It will
be the first crossing of the United
■States by an airship, the first ap
pearance of one farther west of the ■
Mississippi than St. Louis, and the '
longest voyage ever attempted by |
an airship away from its base.
During the war a German Zeppe
lin prototype of the Shenandoah I
reached Africa and returned over ;
a 4.900-mile course. The Shenandoah
•will have covered near to 9,000 miles
before its return to Lakehurst as
its course is mapped out.
What the giant navy dirigible, ■
built strictly for military purposes,
accomplishes can be duplicated by
those with accommodations for pas
sengers and cargo.
The ships of the air will have
followed the moccasined trapper, the
prairie schooner and the railroad,
though every moment the ship
should be in communication with
land.
~Her radio sets will receive and
messages to the hundreds of
ofllieits scattered over the United
•Spates giving the news of the trip.
. and her long distance telephone will
recount the story of the voyage each
night to be picked up and sent into
millions of homes from broadcast
ing stations.
Most of the voyage can be made
at an altitude between 2,000 and
3,000 feet.
Crossing the Allegheny mountains
and again going over the Rockies
before reaching San Diego will bring
it into higer altitudes. The Rock
ies will be the severest test of the
voyage unless unexpected storms
are encountered. The peaks should
be crossed at a height of 6,000 feet
and on account of the variation in
the buoyancy of the ship in day and
night the schedule has been so ar
ranged that the crossing will be
made in the cool hours of the early
morning.
Similar considerations have fixed
the start from each of the masts in
Fort Worth San Diego and Lake
”iew. Washington, at each of which
the ship will be moored a few hours
to replenish its supply of fuel, water
and food, for the morning hours aft
er the sun has risen and warmed the
2,150,000 cubic feet of helium gas.
Lifting Power Varies
Under the warm of the sun the
gas expands and the lifting power is
increased.
The dirigible airship is a combina
tion of balloon and aeroplane. It
is lifted Lv both gas and motors and
while the motors propel it forward
on a course which is held by both
horizontal and vertical rudders, ad- i
Mintage is taken of the air currents
which are the baboon's only direct
i.wr force.
The use of non-combustfble helium
gas of which the United States so
far enjoys a monopoly, is a variation
from the hydrogen-inflated airships
of other nations. It is by this helium
gas that Rear Admiral W. A. Mof
fett. director of the navy bureau of
aeronautics. hopes to eliminate the
dangers of explosions and fires.
Two routes have been mapped o?
Lieutenant Commander Zachary
Lansdowne, commander of the Shen
andoah. for the eastern leg of the
voyage to Fort Worth. The one >r
the return trip is 1.41 s miles crossing
Dayton and almost straight to Little
Published Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
Rock midway between Louisville anti
St. Louis.
The outgoing route of 1,475 miles
goes south over Atlanta and then
swings toward tie west.
The next leg of 1,228 miles reaches
the Mexican border at El Paso and
continues almost directly west to
San Diego. This includes the cross
ing of the mountains and San Diego
should be reached between midnight
and dawn atter 38 hours’ flying.
39-Hour Straightaway
The last leg of 1,229 miles follows
up the Pacific coast over Los Angeles
and San Francisco to the mooring
mast at Lakeview, ten miles soutn
of Tacoma. It calls for 3!) hours in
the air and a stop of 9 hours before
th? return voyage is started over the
same route.
Considerably faster time should be
made on the return trip. The pre
vailing winds are from the west, and
the mechanism of the ship will have
. een tested out.
The Shenandoah has been entirely
refitted with new motors in her five
power gondolas. Like an automobile,
they must be worked up gradually to
t.’ eir highest speed. The motors
which they replaced had 500 hours’
service, a record of durabilitj’ for air
craft.
Though built on the plans of the
German L-49 Which came down in
the area of the American marines in
France during the war, the Shenan
doah is entirely of American con
struction.
The ship was built by the navy
and many improvements were added
to the German designs. One of these
is a system of condensers attached
to the exhausts of the motors which
recover 110 pounds of water from
every 100 pounds of gasoline con
sumed, thus maintaining the weight
of the ship by creating new ballast
while in the air. The motors also are
of American design and construc
tion.

Giant Ox, Hauling
Primitive Cart, Reaches
City After Long Trip
Tom, the largest ox in the work|,
owned by Anheuser-Busch, Inc., of
St. Louis, arrived here Monday,
hitched up to a replica of a primi
tive cart.
This giant ox, tipping the scales
at more than 3,000 pounds, is six feet
and ten inches high, and more than
sixteen feet long. He has been ex
hibited all over the country, and as
Wm. C. Farris, Jr., his keeper and
driver, says: “We have neve rbeen
arrested for exceeding the speed
limit.”
Harris belongs to the giant class
himself. He is a big, square-shoul
dered chap, six feet and six inches
tall. He and Tom are boon compan
ions and they get along fine with
the mobs of children that crowd
a.ound Tom ..nd his attractive and
unique cart wherever they go.
Tom, who is proving a veritable
sensation on his tour of the coun
try, was discovered by August A.
Busch, president of Anheuser-Busch.
Inc., during his European travels.
He arranged for Tom’s purchase and
shipment to America through Carl
Hagenbach, the celebrated animal
trainer of Hamburg.
The ox is a good natured animal,
and understands Italian. German
and English perfectly. In addition
to his great size and his snow-white
color, his amiability and love of At
tention make him an attraction
wherever he goes.
Tom, Bill and the cart will be here
for several days.

BATTLE MON
LOUISIANA BALLOT
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 7.—The La
Follette-Wheeler forces lost their ■
first court fight in Louisiana last i
night to have the names of their ten
electors placed on the official ballot
in the general election next month
when Judge AV. C. Jones, of the dis
trict court at Baton Rouge, refused
to compel Secretary of State James
J. Bailey to print the names on the
ticket.
In dismissing the mandamus pro
ceedings filed by attorneys on be
half of J. J. Finneran, head of the
La Follette faction in this state,
Judge Jones sustained the exception
of W. H. Thompson, an assistant at
torney general, representing the sec- :
retary of state, of no cause or no I
right of action and recalled the al- 1
ternative writ issued against Mr. :
Bailey a week ago.
Mr. Bailey based his refusal to'
place the names of the electors on 1
the ballot on the ground that the ’
state law requiring that 1,000 signa- '
tureg of qualified electors had not
been complied with. He declared '
that only 933 certified names were
presented to him. It was argued in
his behalf that it was not within
his discretion to accept the nomina
tion papers unless they were proper,
ly made out.
There were SOO more names pre
sented which had not been certified
to, he alleged.
The La Follette attorneys declared
the discrepancy had been caused by
the refusal of Thomas Killeen, reg
istrar of voters in Orleans parish
(New Orleans) to, certify the names,
after it was too late to file manda
mus proceedings.
Judge Jones ruled that the New
Orleans signatures should have been
presented as registered electors to
the registrar.
“I think the plaintiff has slept on
his rights; he should have
mandamused Mr. Killeen,” the court
stated.

ABOARD THE U. S. S. SHEN-:
AN DO AH, EN ROUTE FROM AT-'
LANTA. GA., TO BIRMINGHAM,
ALA., Oct. 8. —Sailing smoothly at
an altitude of 2,500 feet, the Shenan
doah crossed the lower tip of the.
Allegheny mountains at a speed of
45 miles an hour at 7 o’clock a. nt.
Atlanta was passed at 4:45 a. nt.,
just as day was breaking and the
Georgia metropolis was awakening.
The salvo of locomotive whistles
echoed up int,o the clouds to the
wander of the ship.
Carrollton, Ga., was passed at
5:32 a. m.
The sun, a golden ball, was peep
ing over the eastern horizon of the
Blue Ridge foothills at 6 a. m.
The haze broke away from their
tops, the rays of the morning sun
rippling in long lines like a new
cloud field. Banks of clouds lay
heavy in the valleys, the reddish dirt
roads looking like ribbons among the
green far below interlacing hilltops
and hidden valleys.
In some of the scattered homes
of the hills, farmers’ entire families
were gathered, gazing aloft as the
ship emerged from the dawn.
Towards dawn the head wind which
the ship had been bucking died down
and while the ship’s speed through
the air and the speed of its motors
did not change, its speed over the
ground increased from 35 to 45 miles
an hour due to the dying out of
the wind.
The course which was laid to At
lanta is about equal in distance to
a flight from Lakehurst to Chi
cago. With hale winds a year ago,
the Shenandoah speeded back from
Chicago to its New Jersey hangar
at a speed of 85 miles an hour. Head
winds stretched the Atlanta voyage
to nearly 20 hours.
Dallas, Tex., should be crossed in
the early evening and the mooring
mast at Fort Worth reached shortly
afterward.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. —Within
the next twenty-four hours Atlan
tians will have opportunity to see
the navy’s giant dirigible, the Shen
andoah, as she flies over the Geor
gia state capital en route to the Pa
cific coast. The Shenandoah left
Lakehurst, N. J., at 10 a. m., after
an eleventh-hour change in her
itinerary, which was prompted by
weather conditions and reports
When Georgians see the Shenan
doah they may take pride in the
fat-t that Admiral Moffett, chief of
the navy air service, says that the
United States is today the only na
tion in the world possessing such a
giant airship. With the ZR-3 ready
to leave Germany, where she was
built for this country by the Ger
man government, the’ United States
soon will own two monster dirigibles,
and be just two ships ahead of all
other nations, as Germany’s dirig
ibles were scrapped after the war.
„ o ,P le of the Shenandoah is
680 feet, diameter 79 feeet, height
over all, 96 feet. The ship has a
gas capacity of 2.150 cubic feet, and
a maximum speed of about sixty
miles an hour, but it is today mak
mg slower time on account of the
newness of the six Packard engines
especially installed for the transcon
tinental flight.
The officers include: Lieutenant
Commander Zachary Lansdowne,
captain; Lieutenant Commander
Lewis Hancock, Jr., Austin. Texas-

Well, Here They Are
Our 1924-25 Bargain Offers
AFTER much wrestling with the other publishers we are able to an
nounce what we believe to be the best list of clubbing combinations
ever offered by a Southern farm newspaper, at prices which represent a dis
tinct saving to every subscriber.
When we began these negotiations, it appeared that all prices would be
much higher this year than previous.
Yet when we got down to talking about our ability to produce a big
volume of business for other papers, some of the publishers saw light and
at the last minute made price reductions which make our clubs even more at
tractive than in the past.
It is true that we have no more A 4’s with nine papers included for only
$1.50, but when it comes to class, coupled with economy, you’ll find the real

TOLO GROUNDS. N. Y., Oct. T.—
(By the Associated Pi-ess.) — The
Washington Senators pounded three
Giant pitchers hard today, won the
fourth game of the world’s series
and evened the count of games with
New York at two-all. George Mog
ridge, lefthander, held the Giants te
three scattered hits until the eighth
inning when he retired In favor ol
Marberry, after passing two bats
men. The score was 7 to 4.
Virgil Barnes started on th«
mound for the Giants, but was
touched up for nine hits and five
retired at the end of the
fifth inning, in favor of Baldwin,
who was yanked at the end of the
seventh, when a pinch hitter was
sent into bat for him. Wayland
Dean finished the pitching burden
for the Giants.
Goslin’s home run into the right
field stands in the third with two
runners on base gave the Senators
a commanding lead which was held
to the end. The hitting of Goslin
featured, the Washington outfielder
' hitting safely every one of his four
times up, getting three singles in
addition to his home run drive.
' r The Giants rallied in the last tw®
innings, scoring once in the eighth,
when Wilson greeted Marberry with
■ a double, tallying Young, while in
the ninth they added another, but
were stopped when Marberry fanned
Kelly with two on and two out.
The run came as a result of
Gowdy’s single and a two-base error
by Rice, and Lindstrom’s infield hit.
brisch walked, but was forced by
Young, after which Kelly did tte*
whiffing act.
Another record-breaking crowd
for the Polo Grounds saw the game,
the total paid attendance of 49,243,
and receipts of $191,677 shattering
the mark set yesterday.
Peckinpaugh was unable to return
to the Washington lineup, and
Bluege took short, and Miller sec
ond.
That McGraw was puzzled as to
who would pitch for the Giants
was evidenced by the fact that
both Jack Bentley a left-handler,
and Baldwin and Dean, right-hand
ers, served them up to the Giant
batters in practice.
After the Giants had enjoyed their
batting practice, they all retired to
their clubhouse In Centerfield, evi
dently to go into a conference. Man
ager Harris looked at the departing
athletes, shook his head and whis
pered to Walter Johnson:
“Deep stuff, eh?”
