Philip Wouldn't Have Une, and

"Sweil" Affair Had Been All Arranged

Despite his rather fancy name, Philip
Tonitello is a plain man. He abhors
fuss and formality, church weddings,
and all that sort OF thing.
II was because he revolted at the
ordeal of a church wedding that he
came TO grief.
He has aIienated forever the affec-
tons of his best friend. who was to
stand tp with him AT the wedding.
He has caused the bride, Josephine
Deliberto, to be disowned by her par
ents.
Of being married Mt the Church of the
Assumption IN Chicago.
Not that he had any prejudice
againt the Church of the Assumption
per Sc. Had IL been the Church of
the Redeemer. the Church of Saints
Peter and Paul. the Church of the
Holy Virgin. or the Church of the I'm
maeulate Conception, Philip would
have acted In the same way.
But having allowed his prejudice
TO assert itself. he was placed under
peace bonds of s. 1000 by Judge Hazen.
The brides brother. Tony Deliberto,
the complaining witness. was placed in
similar restraint.
IL appeared from his testimony that
the wedding invitations had all been
sem out, the wine was red and the
sphagetti cooked, when Philip and his
bride eloped TO the city hall and were
married.
II don't want to be married in the
Church of the Assumption, or in any
other church, either" he had said to
Josephine. Come on"
Meeting Tony, his best friend, a few

Angry words followed, and the two
came to blows. Both were locked up
on charges of dlsorderly conduct.

army aviators from New York TO Nome,

Reports state that the Alaskans are
determined TO bring about regular
communication through the air and
now look TO the government TO foster
the new project.
As the result of the flight, il Is said,
m aerlal route has been photographed
and eharted %diagonally across the
United States, Canada and Alaska,
with tentative supply and air service
sites.
The air board states that the fol-
lowing was accomplished by the flight /:
An effective aerial route to the north
west corner of the American continent
and Asia has been established. Inac-
cessible areas in Alaska, which had
been mapped. have been charted
and photographed.
Usefulness of the airplane as a
means of transport. both for mail, pas
sengers and freight. has been DEM
onstrated. Necessity of landing fields
and service supply stations throughout
the United States aud its territories
has been shown.
Durability of modern airplanes and
motors has been proved. and il has
been learned that flying is safe. even
over territory where transport by rail
road, automobile and wagon Is consid-
cred extremely dangerous.
The report Of Capt. st. Clair Street,
who was In command Of the expedi-
ton, states that the flyers considered
the route across the eastern states
as having few landing fields, and not
ideal in any instance. The middle
West and Canada, he said, as far as
Edmonton, was ideal.
"The expedition sighted innurnerabie
glaciers said Captain Street. and
rain, low fog and clouds were preya-
lent. Yukon and Alaska are rough and
partly forested, and afford no natural
landing places except on river bars, but
the route from wrangell TO Nome Is
ideal for water planes"
