WASHINGTON. Aug. 8. W
The federal farm board has re
fused to engage in wheat stabiliza

ent requests to do o As u means
of preventing recurrence of Tues
day's six-cent market price drop.
Telegraphic' appeals to buy up
tho flurplus wheat and Htor" It In
any available place hnve flooded
the bourd'H office. U has decided,
however, lo await perfection of the
machinery of (he FWmers' Nation
al drain, Marketing corporation.
which will be churged with han
dling any emergency, nnd Is advis-
1 n g fa r m ers m ea n while to hold
back their product whenever pos
sible. A formal statement by lhe
hoard said (here was a prospective
world shortage of wheat this sea
eon and uscribed the Immedlato
situation "to hurried nnd, to some
extent nt least, unnecessary mar
keting or wheat oy farmers." j
"If the farmers can be induced :
(o hold back their shipments past
the congested period." It said, "the
effect of stabilization will be ac
complished and the farmers gen
erally will benefit by the slower
marketing movement."
Plans for the grain corporation
projected at the recent Chicago
conference are progressing, It
went on, and "in lhe meantime,
and until the corporation Is set
and can function, the board hopes
that farmers will observe an order,

NAVAL A1H STATION, Luke
h u rst , N . J ., Aug. H . ft1 As a
band played "It's a Long, Long
Trail," the German dirigible Oruf
Zeppelin lifted into a starless sky
nt 12:40 eastern daylight lime, this
morning and not majestically forth
on the first airship fllglit around
the world.
.It wus a lilt lo Inter than Dr.
Hugo Kckener had .planned to get
away,- some delay having been
caused by a plumber's apprentice
from Trenton, N, J., who had
acquired big ideas about stow
aways. After the uspirlng stowaway.
Morrib Ilolfj,: hud. bewi nly de- ..
posited in Lhe navy brig, ami a
thorough search had convinced
officers that another youth seen
lurking clone to an open cargo port
had been frightened away, affairs
moved with complete: precision.
l-'o u r h u n d red blue clad sn 1 1 ors
tugged tit ropes' dropped from the
enormous frame of the mistress of
the ocean skies. The Zeppelin
stirred with a sound like n great
sigh and moved slowly stern-first
from the hangar. And then the
bifd burst Into melody.
Before the ship was walked out
of me hangar, the 2 passengers
were put aboard, 21 men and one
woman. As the ship was riiywn
Into the open the upper structuro
of the hangiu was revealed like a
great spider web, the web where
the little plumber's apprentice hud
uuen caught like a fly as he pre
pared to let himself down by n
rope to the narrow runway along
the top of the Zeppelin's silvered
frame. It seems as the ship left
thnt a score or lightning bugs had
been trapped in the web for sailors
with flashlights were still crawling
about the lnft( rafters looking for
other possible stowaways.
Once In the open commands fot
lowed In swift succession and ile-
Oonttniiert nn Per Fight.
