years old she went to Zurich with

was intensely Interested in the study
OF Psychology and took no part in
social life In Zurich, according TO
friends. she had little time TO spend
with her daughters. Muriei, the older
daughter, was vivacious and lively
and had lot of fun in which the
younger Mathilde never participate ted.
So she grew up in Zurich. seeing

SWISS soCIETY RUZZES
OVER PROPOSED MARRIAGE

10y Associated Pr"SS.
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND. Feb. 70.
Swiss society may buzz with in
terest. but Max Oser simply does not
talk about his Forthcoming marriage
with Miss Mathilde Mccormick. the
youthful granddaughter of John d.
Rockefeller. What the public thinks
of him most generally can be CLEANED
from his friends who are willing to
talk.
lie Is one OF tho finest horscmen
In the Swiss army" said an officer
friend today.
Oser lost his father and mother
long ago, and he now lives alone. He
has only one younger brother, who is
at present In South America. He has
no relatives whatever in the United
States. lie Is OF studious and artistic
character. and neither has nor seeks
many friends. Some of his friends
chafed him year ago concerning
his romance with Miss Mccormick.
whom he met when she was years
old
According to the Swiss marriage
law, the fiancee will be obliged to 20

who married Prince Christopher, OF
Greece. and other prominent Amerl-
cans who have been wed I'm Switzer-

The fact that Governor Trinkl
mas declared that he is In favor Of n
bond issue for roads at this session
o. the Legislature is not likely TO
change the attitude Of members of
the House of Delegates. il their
declaration of opposition to such a
step Is taken To mean anything" said
delegate Marvin Sm.thcy. Twice
has that body announced that IL has
not the least idea OF supporting any
bond issue at this session. and from
votes that have been cast on many
measures there appears to be little
reason for the belief that they will
be diverted from their declared posi-
ton. Seven,y-seven members Of the
House have gone on record pledging
to the neopic OF Virginia that they
will not authorize the issuance OF
bonds at this session.
People Reverse Attitude.
The people ot the State two years
ago voted for an amendment to al
low the State to issue bonds for
roads. and last year they reversed
that vote and the proposition was
rejected, candidates for the lower
branch u: the Legislature announcing
'.ostility TO such a proposition The
people held that to vote bonds for
roads meant an increase Of taxes, and
~ was that which decided the fate
OF the proposition"
There are bills in both branches OF
the Legislature for issuance Of bonds

purposes. and when that is Teached

The reorganization Of the dcpart-
ment, with a business man In charge

which Governor Trinkie stood. and
