COLLAPSE IN COURT
WINS HIM RETRIAL

ATLANTIC CITY, July 10.-Col-
lapsing in police court today won
Benjamin F. Bard, of Ocean City,
prominent real estate operator, a
rehearing on the charge of drunken
driving after Recorder Coria had
imposed sentence of thirty days in
Jail.
Bard was arrested by Patrolma0
Clarence Primese after his automo-
bile nearly ran down three women.
He was lodged in a cell overnight.
Taken before the recorder Bard
appeared daZed and frightened. He
seemed to tremble a little as he ad-
mitted that yesterda yhe had taken
drink, something that unnerved
him. The recorder explained that
he must impose a sentence of thirty
days in Jail and revoke Bard's
drivers license. An instant later
he swooned and fell to the floor.
Thereupon the rehearing was
granted and Bard released in $500
bail.

DEMAND FOR AERoDRoME
IN TOKYO HEARD AGAIN

TOXIC, July 10.-Increased de.
mands for the establishment Of a
central aerodrome in Toxic have
been brought before the military
authorities and the members of the
Imperial Diet recently. The arrival
of the American fliers in Toxic, the
trip OF Captain D-Oisy, the French
flier, and the knowledge of a gen.
eral increase in world interest in
aviation has caused the authorities
here to bring out again the plan
submitted last year for a central
aerodrome in the heart Of the city
OF Toxic, and place for water
landing to be reserved at the mouth
Of the Sumida river, near Toxic.
The original plan, proposed by a
member Of the military staff last
year, was said to have been ad-
vanced for the improvement Of
Japan's aviation section by the in.
teresting of more young Japanese
army men in the aviation end Of
army work.

One must go clear back to Roose
velt's time for the record Of an
Administration free from illness or
death, for it will be remembered
that while Mrs. Taft was Mistress
Of the White House she passed
through a serious illness, her con-
dition causing her family many
months Of anxiety and sorrow.
Woodrow Wilson lost his first wife
while he was President and was
carried home to the White House
when he was stricken with the
Illness that finally caused his
death.
With the Hardings sorrow came
soon to the White House, for Mrs
Harding's strength gave out at the
end of her first strenuous year, for
weeks her life was in danger and
her convalescence extended over
many months. Then, just as she
had fought her way back to a
measure of health and strength,
came President Harding's sudden
and untimely end.
When the Coolidges came to the
W hite House, with the tremendous
asset of youth, it was hoped that
the hoodoo might be broken. But
now comes the passing of that
bright lad who is being laid to rest
today among the Vermont hills,
where his forebears were reared;
and tragedy stalks once more
through the White House. In some
ways the death of young Calvin
Coolidge seems the most pathetic
of all; and from every home in the
nation hearts go out to President
and Mrs. Coolidge, who are today
but a bereaved father and mother.
Shadow of Mourning Has Hung
Over Official World for Last Year.
1t is really passing strange how
the shadow of mourning has hung
over the official world in Washing
ton in the last year. Three months
of court mourning" followed the
death of President Harding last
August; and before that was for.
gotten came the death of Woodrow
Wilson, bringing another period of
official mourning in its wake. This
lasted only thirty days, but it had
a more noticeable effect upon social
activities than even the death of
Presidents Harding, since it came
in the height of the official season
whereas the President died in mid
summer when society in the Capt..
tai was at its lowest ebb.
Not only was mourning for for
mer President Wilson observed by
members of the official and diplo-
matte contingents, but there was a
genuine and spontaneous tribute to
the memory of a great man in the
| way festivities planned BY unof-
| fetal persons were cancelled or post.

terror, in the spring also came as
a shock to society and brought
about a further cancellation of Re j.
tivities, although it was followed by
nc formal period of mourning. The

an active interest, either as gift
or for nominal purchase price, and
the new home of this flourishing
school will serve as a permanent me-
mortal to Mrs. Elkins' father and
tc her husband.

Eugene Hale the distinction of being
the daughter, the widow and the
mother of a Senator, is the daugh.

way Davis, of West Virginia Her
place at Enkins and the home her
sister, Mrs. Arthur Lee, near by,
were part of the enormous Davis
holdings and were built when the
two sisters were young married
women. Halliehurst takes it's name
from its former mistress, who was
Miss Halle Davis, and Mrs. Lee,
who was Miss Grace Davis, calls
her home Gracelands.
If Mrs. Elkins is deserving the
West Virginia home in which she
has spent many happy years, it Is
because she has been much alone
there OF late, since her children are
scattered and have diverse interests,
and the house is far too big to
maintain unless 1t is kept filled
with company. Mrs. Ellxins' daugh-
ter, Mrs. William F. r.. Hit, has
her own country home near Mid
dleburg, Va, where she spends
most of the year, devoting herself
to her dogs and horses and riding
to hounds every day during the
hunting season.
Gracelands, the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Lee, has been the
scene of much generous hospitality
Of late years, house parties for the
young friends of Henry Davis Lee,
Miss Ellen Bruce Lee, now Mrs.
Stoddard Pintard Johnston, and the
younger members of the family be-
ing OF frequent occurrence. Mrs.
Johnston, whose home is in New
York, is now spending several
weeks with her parents at Elkins.

do his bidding, caused Joseph Kir-
win, who lives next door to Over
