PARIS, Nov. 4.-There is un
confirmed gossip in fashionable
and musical circles in Paris to-
day that the honeymoon of Har-
old F. Mccormick, Chicago mil
lionaire, and Mrs. Mccormick,
who was Nine. Gamma Walska,
grand opera prima donna, has
been disturbed by differences of
ambition and social preference.
Friends Are Alarmed.
There are rumors that friends e
he couple are alarmed lest their
married life be wrecked upon he
unchartcd seas of incompauDility.
Reports that Mccormick Is dis
aupointcd that his bride should
plunge into concert work so soon
after their wedding are incredihl"
to those who have followed the fo'
nance.
On his wedding day, McCormlck
permitted an inspired interview
! to appear. frankly avowing his Dc
| sire that Madame Walskas fame hs
IA singer should be promoted by h'r
alliance with him rather than T."
even temporarily disturbed.
Whether Mccormick has changed
his mind is not known. but the faCt
is pointed out that two months ana
two days after the marriage. Gamma
Walska began singing tour in IN"
smaller French cities. while Nc
Cormick left for Switzerland 10 WISH

Trouble Over Languages.
Friends of the couple today at
to,nted TO explain certain evidence
of seeming uncongeniality by the
fact that Mccormick and his Wlie
often appear in an awkward nght
owing to his inability 10 speak
French and her imperfect use OF
English.
She has repeatedly been seen sur
rounded by admirinG friends VINO

| unintelliSible to her husband. VINO
appears to be uncomfortable in such
a situation.
If there has been any rift in thc
lutte. friends of the couple credit the
difficulty more to McCormick's dis
approval of his wifp's foreign speak
ing associates than to any change
Of view on the part of the husband
regarding his wife's musical am
bitions.
Both Remain Silent.
Neither Mccormick nor Madame
Walska has dignified the gossip con
cerning them by either affirmation
or denial.
Madame Walska married Alex,

known as the richest bachelor in
the United States" late in 1920. \
year later she obtained divorce in

General Mitchell is Hunting.
General Mitchell it was learned
today was hunting on Melvin
Hazen's farm at Mt, Wesley, Noakes-
Vile, Va, and could not be reached.
At the office OF the army air serv-
Ice I'm the War Department it was
stated that the divorce OF the gen
eral and Mrs. Mitchell had been an.
ticipated for some time and that the
news of the decree having been
granted was not surprise to those
familiar with the marital difficult
ties of the couple.
Gen. Mitchell. who is a son Of the
late United States Senator John l..
Mitchell, of Wisconsin. is recCS.
nized as one of the most expert
flyers in the service and is the only
flying general in the army.
For combat flying over the enemy
lines in the second battle Of the
Marne. he was awarded the dis.
tinguished service cross. He is sN-
tremely popular among the younger
flying officers and the military
branch OF Washington society. He
was a prominent figure in the Ma.
tional Capital Horse Show in 1927
being an expert rider
Fought General MenOher.
He gained considerable notoriety
In June, 1921, when Maj j.-Gen.
Nenoher, then chief Of the air serv.
Ice. demanded that Gen. Mitchell he
relieved OF. his duties. So serious
was the row that Secretary OF War
Weeks assumed personal charge of
the investigation that led to gen,
eral shake-up. Back OF the long
fought row was the question
directed by flying officers or othe +
arms-infantry, cavalry, or artil,
lery.
General Mitchell vigorously oh,
jected to General Menoher pla acing
a number of non.flying officers of
high rank in administrative posi-.
tions in the air service.
The controversy waXed so warm
that the judge advocate OF the
army was called upon to give an in
terpretation of the law. with the
result that General Mitchell's argu.
ment was upheld.
The upshot of the controversy led
TO the appointment Of Maj. Gen.
Ma son NJ. Patrick. in place Of Gen.
eral Menoher. as chief of the air
service, General Mitchell being re-
tanned in his old place as assistant
chief.

Of 1921 became public and revealed
that the Atlantic fleet at that time
was at the mercy of any highly
organized air force and that the

FIRST CLASS MAIL SERVICE
is GREATLY IMPROVED

Last week we omitted to mention the
new mail service that has been estab-
lished between this place and Parkers-
burg. Postmaster Fred S. Hatha Y
has been working for some time trying
TO get service to that city by auto
authorized by the department But for
some reason the matter was held nm in
Washington and it was not until re-
Gently that permission was granted.
Under the new service first class mail
is received one day earlier from nearly
all points. the pouch being made up in

the Parkersburg office just before the
taxi leaves for this place. This is n
great accommodation to the local banks
ana business houses, as mail is expedit.
ed by two days in most instances. All
mail going to Parkersburg and points
beyond should be mailed early TO get
in this special service.
This Improvement is in line with the
policy of Postmaster Hathaway TO give
patrons of the local office the best ser
vice ohtainablc. 1t is only one of tbe
many improvements made during his
tenure in office If service counts for
anything, there should be no change
made in the local postoffice as Mr.

has ever had

ARSON ARRESTS ARE
BENEFIT TO FARMERS

In one district Of New Jersey It has
been the custom for many years for
the insurance companies to refuse In
surance to farmers because Of the
known fact that there were many
grudge fires, In which barns and even
houses were consumed, which were
due TO revenge. The New Jersey state
police investigated and made many
arrests resulting In convictions. AS a
result rural ares in this section have
diminished and insurance companies
are now sending their agents In 70
