MRS. WARREN C.
HARDING DIES
Former Mistress of the White House
Succombs After Lingering H.
ness from Kidney Trouble; FuRer-
al Held Monday.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.--The
death of Mrs. Harding aroused deep
sense of personal sorrow in the ma
tional capitol.
The highest dignitaries Of the gov
ernment, headed by President Cool
idge joined in public expressions of
grief and regret, but quite another
tribute of affection found voice a.
mong those she had befriended in the
humble walks Of life, and those who
had looked with pity on the tragic
course of her brief tenure as mistress
of the White House.
Mrs. Harding had made many
warm friends in Washington long be
fore her husband became President.
As the wife Of a senator for six years
she won reputation as a gracious
hostess and wholehearted and demo
cratic participant in many public
charities. These qualities she car
ried with her into the White House.
Among those who mourn most
deeply at her death are the wounded
soldiers at Walter Reed hospital
where she passed many hours and
left many tokens Of sympathy and en-
enlargement.
The solitude she showed Of many
occasions for the interests and happi-
ness of others was returned to her
many fold when serious illness cast
the first cloud over her domestic life
in the executive mansion during the
summer Of 1922. All of Washington
poured out its sympathy and it's pray
ers while she lay between life and
death, and then slowly began to mend
The cities most vivid memories Of
her cluster about the funeral of the
husband at whose side she was watch
ing when he passed from life in San
Francisco. In all that vast picture
Of grief and affection for the dead
President, the figure that will live
longest in the recollection Of the
capitol is that of widow, who bow
ed by her sorrow, went courageously
through the. long ordeal of mourn
ing.
After the funeral of the President,
Mrs. Harding lived in a virtual re-
tirement She maintained hotel
suite here, near the White House, but
divided her time between Washing
ton and Marion and took only small
part in the social acts of the capitol,
She aged perceptibly, and friends
who saw her during her last visit
here a few weeks ago realized that
she was losing ground steadily in her
long fight against physical and spirit
ual adversely.
The funeral will be held at Ep-
worth Methodist Episcopal Church
at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Rev.
Jesse Swank, pastor Of the Church
and who conducted the funeral SER
vices for President Harding will be
in charge He will be assisted by Rev.
George M. Lands, pastor of Trinity
Baptist Church of which Mr.. Hard
ing was member. Mrs. Harding
had been memeber of Epworth
Methodist Church since girlhood.

AMERICA TO LEAD
in AIRCRAFT
DIR. Arnstein Speaks of Great Fleets
Of Helium Filled Gas Bags Which
Will Carry Passengers and Mail.

NEW YORK, Nov. DIR Karl Arm
stein designer of the ZR-3 arrived
on the George Washington today with
a staff of IL engineers
They will go at once to Akron O..
to begin constructing in the name of
the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation
huge commercial dirigibles for pas
senger and mail service, domestic and
trans Atlantic.
Il am certain that the lighter-than
air craft industry of the world will
be conferred in America" said DR..
Arnstein "You have here all the
best conditions for dirigible manufac-
ture capital, engineering talent and
a favorable public spirit. ! hope to
make America my home forever"
A mild hammered man of 81 years,
DIR. Arnstein smilingly spoke of great
fleets of helium-filled gas bags which
in the near future will get the cream
of the passenger and mail business
Nof the world.
For ten years this was the business
of designing the succession of war
and peace Zeppelins turned loose up
on the air at Griedrichshafen on lake
Constance, and of accompanying them
on trial flights With the Friedrich
shafen works about to be dismantl-
ed in accordance with the Versailles
threaty he comes here as thetechnical
brains of an industry being transfer
red to America for perpetuation.
at is wonderful that America gives
us this opportunity to continue de-
veloping the Zeppelin type airship, !"
he said. my old regret is that
Count Zeppelin was not alive to see
the realization of his dream-the
flight of one of his dirigibles across
the Atlantic as accomplished by the
ZR-3.
'sTe future, it is filled with import
ant possibilities. l say that / am
not dreamer, but say also that
we probably will begin at once to
design at Akron an airship of $780,
600 cubic feet capacity which will fly
from Spain to South America. thus
crossing the Atlantic at its widest
reach.
Regular transatlantic air serv-
ice between America and Europe
seemed assured. We do not venture
to say how large dirigibles eventu-
ally may be built.
eve believe they will be used pri-
marily for fast mail and passengers
with whom speed is of great import
ance We believe that from the
standpoint of economical operation
the smallest airships will accommo-
date about 80 passengers. Not
great increase in flying speed is anti
cipated Probably three days for
transatlantic passage will be the
normal flying time
"Dirigibles for war" Arnstein re-
peated the question of interviewers.
He smiled Really" he said Eve are
trying to forget that we made Yep
pelins for war purposes. Don't you
think that use for them ought to be
forgotten? We are thinking now
only Of the .dirigible as a vehicle of
peace means Of commercial tran
sit"
He admitted that most of the Yep
pelins be designed during the war
had been destroyed by enemy gum
fire but declined to discuss whether
they might be made impervious to
anti-dirigible weapons of possible fu-
ture wars.
