GRAF ZEPPELIN
GROSSES EOUATOR
IN SAFETY
(By Associated P'rem >
Pernambuco, Brazil, May 23.—
The Graf Zeppelin, moored safely to
day after her first trans-equatOrial
flight and her sixth trans-Atlantic
flight, was expected to take off for
Rio Janeiro after sunset tonight on
the third lap of its 18-000-mile jour
ney from Friedrichshafen, Germany,
to America, and return.
laurels, the world-circling airship
reached the southern side of the new
world just before the tropic twilight
set in.
At 7:10 p. m. (5:10 p. m. EST),
her ropes fluttered to the ground,
where they were seized by Brazilian
soldiers forming the newly trained
ground crew. Amid a furious din
from thousands of spectators and a
bedlam of horns and sirens, she was
snugly tied up to her specially built
mooring mast at 8:05 p. m. (6:05 p.
m. EST). : , ,f , ; ;
Accorded Noisy Welcome.
Northern Brazil was delirious with
excitement, over . the Graf’s newest
achievement.
Pernambuco hailed her arrival with
furious blasts of sirens and whistles
from factories and ships. People
swarmed out of their homes to point
at the strange shining shape in the
tropic skies. The streets were choked
with shouting, gesticulating people.
Over the city and the harbor,
about 1,000 feet aloft, the majestic
silver bullet gracefully sailed. At
6:30 p. m. (4:30 p. m. EST), she cir-
cled over Campo Giquia, the landing
field, and then made off southward
for a cruise of half an hour.
Soldiers Check Throng.
Presently she returned over the
field, with her lights blinking down
through the dusk, and glided down
towaid the mooring mast from an al-
titude of 600 feet.
The crowd in the packed grand-
stand cheered and waved, while the
throng at the outskirts of the field
surged forward against the police
lines.
Once at the mooring mast, the dir-
igible was given over to a crew of
mechanics and stevedores, who
swarmed about her while the soldiers
fought off the crowd.
During the night, the Graf will
take on Water, fuel gas and a new
larder of provisions. At daybreak,
Dr. Hugo Eckener, despite the fa-
tigue of the translantic flight from
Seville, will . head her still further
southward to Rio Janeiro.
On the field awaiting her arrival
here were a troop of Brazilian cav-
alry, 380 infantrymen, 350 civil and
military police and tw;o fire engines
manned by eighty firemen.
When the first vague report that
the Graf had been sighted along the
coast was circulated in the city, hun-
dreds of automobiles started for
Campo Giquia. Roads in the vicinity
of the field were jammed with cars,
carts and pedestrians. Thousands who
did not Want to pay for a close sight
of the Zeppelin from the grand-
stands' went out none the less for a
sons at last. It was a relief to most
of them to be beside their son and to
see how well tended were the graves.
Thus happiness aroused by relief
gave them strength.
The women make long daily visits
to the cemeteries, but in between
times they are shown interesting war
spots in the hope that a bit of sight-
seeing may take their minds eff the
sadness of their mission.

PROTEST RANK
GIVEN ATLANTA
free if limited view.
The Graf completed her tropical
transatlantic trip from Seville, Spain,
to Pernambuco, in just sixty-one
hours. This represented a flight of
about 3,750 miles. She left Seville at
8:30 a. m. Tuesday, ‘; Spanish time
(3 :30 a. m. Tuesday, EST), and ar-
rived over Pernambuco at 6:30 p. m
local time (4:30* p. m. EST).
It was forty minutes later before
her ropes were flung overboard for
the mooring operation, and nearly
ah hour elapsed before the airship
hefself was at last snugly fastened to
the mooring mast.
GERMAN GROUP
SALUTED BY GOLD
STAB MOTHERS
Washington, May 23.—Houston
and other Southern cities are pro-
testing to the Bureau of the Census
about the census of the city of At-
lanta, which has given the Georgia
capital the rank of second tnty in the
South in point of population.
The Georgia Legislature last year
adopted the borough form of Gov-
ernment similar to New York and
London. In promoting the idea, At-
lanta is said to have the matter of a
population showing in mind, how-
ever, there was with it a question of
protection in sanitation and other mu-
nicipal elements. What has hereto-
fore been known as the city of At-
lanta is now the borough of Atlanta,
and surrounding it are sixteen incor-
porated cities and fifteen unincorpo-
rated places, each of which is a bor-
ough. The whole thrown together,
however, now constitutes the city of
Atlanta by legislative adoption, as
understood here.
As a result of this change Atlanta,
including the fifteen separate outly-,
ing places, came under the census
wire with a total population of 347,-
991, whereas the city of Atlanta that;
was, but now the borough of Atlanta,j
has only 266,557. Considered as a
city proper this makes Houston the;
second city in the South, New Or-
leans being first, Houston having a
ppoulation of 290,811. Dallas prob-
ably would rank fourth with 260,-
397.
Houston made its protest to the
Census Bureau Thursday through
Representative D. O. Garrett of that
place, who found that other protests
had been made and that the bureau
would wait until all were heard be-
fore taking a position. Birming-
ham, Ala., filed a protest through
Senator Black of that State and pro-
test is coming from Louisville.
Representatives from the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce here recently
conferred with Director Steuart of
the Census Bureau, filing a copy of
the Georgia law under which- the
new designation of the “city” was
accomplished.
BUILDING FOR A
BETTER COUNTRY
Eleven of the largest projects in
the history of the electric light and
power industry will either be com-
pleted or begun this year. They will
have an ultimate capacity of nearly
3,000,000 horsepower and will re-
quire an investment of over $500,-
000,OOO. In addition, numerous
smaller projects, involving several
hundred millions, are now underway
throughout the nation.
The eleven major projects are dis-
tributed among a number of states
in different sections of the country,
including North and South Carolina,
New Jersey, Missouri, Pennsylvania,
California and New York.
The first effect of this new con-
struction will be better and more ex-
tensive electric service to millions of
American homes, farms and indus-
tries. And it will have an equally
important effect in maintaining em-
ployment at high wage levels for a
multitude of workers, in contribut-
ing a large share of municipal and
state taxes, and in distributing fair
dividends to hundreds of thousands
of investors.
No other industry has done, does
and will do more for America, gen-
erally and individually, than the elec-
tric light and power. It manufac-
tures and distributes electricity and,
along with it, manufactures and dis-
tributes prosperity. Progress is the
key note of its record—progress to-
ward improved service, ' cheaper
service and service for more people
than in former years. It is one of
the two major industries which have
materially increased the number of
their employes in recent years. And
1930 is the greatest year, from all
standpoints, in the history, of its ex-
istence.
There is always safety in valor--

Thiaucourt, France, May 22-—
American Gold Star Mothers who are
on the second day’s pilgrimage to the
graves of the men who fell in the St-
Mihiel salient, Thursday met and ex-
changed salutes with a group of for-
mer German officers.
It was chance which caused the
mothers to meet the men who fought
their sons in 1918 and there was no
sign of the hatred which existed 12
years ago.
The mothers met the Germans at
the entrance to the American mili-
tary cemetery here and thought them
to be a French committee of wel-
come. When they learned their mis-
take it did not alter their opinion
that the Germans seemed “such nice
men.”
Gen. Otto Gessler, former minis-
ter of the German Reichswehr, was
leading a party of former officers on
a tour to inspect the miiltary ceme-
teries in France. He and his com-
rades knety who the mothers were,
and as the American women passed
the Germans .quickly stepped aside
and saluted. The mothers returned
the salute and passed on to the graves
as the former enemies bowed.
The weather was brighter Thurs-
day and the trial of cold rain has
been withstood in good fashion, even
by the most* elderly women. No
names are on the medical “casualty
list” either here or at the four other
American cemeteries or in Paris.
Physicians have feared not alone
the weather. They: felt that many
mothers might be made ill by shock
at the sight of their sons’ graves.
But no such cases have been found.
The mothers shovy poignant grief but
it is tinged with joy because they
have reached the graves of their lost
