Proposed Flight of
ZR-1, in Endeavor
to Reach North Pole
Howard Mingos, in the New York
Tiirfes, speaking of the possibility of
ifae proposed a rial flight of the ZR-i.
n an effort to reach the North Pole,
says:
“A giant dir.gibie hovering over the
North "ole, exploring Arctic fields,
/isiteil bv man only after the boldest
adventures and the most trying hard
ships, sounding scientific depths never
before plumbed such is the picture
that has fired the imagination in the
:ast few days.
“Can it be done? The question has
been asked repeatedly since the inven
tion of airships; and now comes Rear
Admiral W. A. Moffet, chief of the
Bureau of Aeronautics, and replies
-n uaii! sdiv, ‘Yes'’ in the announce
meat that the first rigid airship to be
ullt in toe country, the ZR-I, is to be
assigned to tna.;e polar Sight.
“yet if the ZJR-1 attempts a new
trait through unknown skies it must
meet and coreuer conditions never be
ore encountered by airships. Hurri
canes sweeping over tiie Arctic plains,
ce roes that rise at times sixty feet in
the air, cataracts of frigid air, the
placing of supply statioDD ic the icy
waters—these are only some- of the
problems that must be faced
“Two courses are opeD to tbe ZR-1 -
sitber a direct flight from tbe United
states to the Pole, or the establish
ment of a base as far north as practica
ble and the final flight from there.
“At present the only depot for ser
vicing the great dirigible and launch
ng ther adequately equipped is at the
naval aid station at Lakehurst. As
suming that the flight is to be ma.
from the United States, it will start
'rom Lakehurst. There are two
routes—one entirely over the water
and ice, the other, the straighter, part
way over land. Both lead out of New
ATork. follow closely together toward
Greenland and past Cape Columbia,
Peary’s furthest North base, and. on to
the i’olo. The water■ distance ie ap
proximately 3,0-13 mii6s; possibly less
by airship, which should cut straight
across many places marked as detours
on the all water route. The overland
route is more direct and shorter by ap
proximately 700 miles. The navigator
of the Zii-A, therefore, must base his
calculations on making a flight of
nearly 3,000 miles before reaching the
Pole, if the star; is made from this
country. And, once having arrived,
he must have facilities of one sort or

an
anotber for returning to shelter
other 3,000 miles or so.
“If the ZR-1 makes the round-trip
Night from the 1’niied Slates to the
North 1’ole. she will have eclipsed by
approximately 1.500 miles the world’s
record for non-stop flying, made by a
German Zeppelin in 1917.”
Huge
in
Chicago.—Social leaders and bust- i
ness men of Chicago and suburbs have I
thousands of “fake’ oil paintings of
J great artists, foisted on them by a j
huge fake art combine, operating here i
\ and in New York. Bernard Devine, art
j .expert, charged Monday in the suit for!
| $50,000 be filed against Professor Ar
thur Cbataio. anotl er art ejtjtert.
The plea for damages is made on t he '
grounds that Cbatain first passed fav-I
orably on the authenticity of a group
of paintings brought here by Devine
and advertised for sale, and that later
Chatain “spread false re|>orts,” greatly
reducing bids at the sale.
Devine charged that more than one
thousand fraudulent Blakelooks have
been sold here as original and that the
combine in New ork is regularly mak
ing and selling spurious Corots, Whist
lers Ryders and innes works
Cbatain, who Devine charges is im
plicated in the combine, discredited
his group of paintings, the declaration
states, because he feared the result of
the introduction of such paintings on
the sale of the alleged fake paintings.
Divorced 3 Years, Told
She’sToo Young to Wed
3t. Clairville. O.—Wedded at 18,
mother of an 18-months-old son, di
vorced, and yet, according to Ohio
laws, too voung to marry again.
That is the position in which Mrs.
Bertha Seal Sayre found herself Wed
nesday when she applied for a license.
In 1920, Miss Seal, then 18. married;
Clarence Savre, and last year they !
were divorced. The Sayres recently
fell in love again, however, and decided
to remarry.
But the clerk at the court house in
voked Ohio’s new law, which says that
women younger than ill must have
their parents’ consent before they can
wed. Bertha argued that if she was
old enough to imarry three years age
she is old enough to narrv now.
“Times have changed,” said the
clerk.
