Kour thouKund and Hixty-thre
passengers wore curried during1
the Heamm's ltM fllghtM. and al
most a million plecea of mail, dis
tributed over an imRregutc dis
tance flown of 7 1 . 2 r 0 milcH.
. 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

Olio of tho daughters, Jutta.

claim before a mixed German Ju

Khe based it on tho ground
that by her murrlage she no long

was entitled to claim extra com

co uiur that had fought against
the central powers In the war.
