The Income from these flights K was sufficient to pay tlie officers and crew, the motor-fuel bill, in-, Piirance and depreciation. j Had the Graf confined itself to comparatively short cruises of 1.- 000 miles or so, tho showing would i have been even better, for the ex tra co&ta of mooring and refuel ing preparations on the South American flight to not enter Into the less spectacular European trips. Mooring Mast F.sKnsive Even the transatlantic flights of the Zeppelin could be put on a . commercial, paying basis, esti mates Capt. Ernrt Ijehman of the Zeppelin company, if proper moor ing facilities and refueling sta tions were regularly established. Equipping a transatlantic Zep pelin line with four or five ships , and proper mooring masts and! other landing facilities would cost, he .calculates, not more than $-0,-000.000. With such a line In operation! the cost per flight from Spain or Portugal to Brazil would average J everything included, about $38.-! r000. Carrying 40 passengers at $750 each would bring In $30,0001 and freight and mail could bo ex pected to make up tho other $8, 000 and add a reasonable profit To Kc Overhauled Since its maiden flight in Sep-j lember, 1928, tho Graf has cruised i an aggregate of nearly 150,000' miles and carried G.278 passengers' and 2.200,000 pieces of mail and; freight. I How many more miles may be expected of it will be revealed to some extent during the extensive ovrhauling of the ship this winter. The Graf's- 1H3V flying' prog-i ram still Is undetermined. A flight to the North Pole Is considered probable, provided the new year brings a reasonable improvement In general business conditions, -a 1 NEWROAD NORTK I'KTSAMO t'JOItl), Finland. 3,)pc. 20.
