FLIGHT ACROSS!
ATLANTIC MUCH
TOO EXPENSIVE
BUENOS AIRES, June 30 (by As
sociated Press).—The ministry of war
has refused to grant permission to the
Arentine aviator. Captain Angel Zulo
ga, to attempt a flight across the
Atlantic ocean from Lisbon via St.
Vincent to Pernambuco, Brazil, on the 1
ground that the “expenditures would
he disproportionate to the end attain
ed” and because the aviator proposed
use an airplane instead of a hydro
plane. The Ministry pointed out that
the flight of Captain Alcock, the Brit
ish airman, across the north Atlantic
an airplane “cannot be regarded
as having demonstrated the practica
bility of Zuloaga’s proposals and, fur
themore. it would cost not less than
$440,000 to maintain two chains of
transports along the route in order to
give the aviator a measure of protec
tion.”
If you change your address, do not
notify the carrier boy—report youi
new address to the office.
AS A
travel™
BERLIN, June 30 (by Associated
Press).—As a center of attraction for
visitors from outside, Berlin is on the
wane, said Chairman Landau, of the
city’s foreign travel bureau, which <
held its annual meeting here re
cently.
Landau stated that although in the
year under review 1,389.000 strangers
visited the capital they were on the
whole not the class of visitors that ,
were desired. Berlin, he added, had i
become hated in the provinces and no
traveller came to Berlin for pleasure.
Moreover there was an alarming ex
odus of industrial undertakings from
Beilin.
The authorities, he said, must wake
up and offer fairs and such like as an
inducement for the desirable class of
visitors to come to Berlin.
Dr. Von Zesch will leave Cordova
on a business trip July 6 and will
be absent from the city for about
six weeks. 28-6t *
