Noel yeriUen Looms as Suitor for
 Mary Hnrrison's Hand

AS Mary finished outlining her program for her future career, l looked squarely at her. this time making no attempt to hide d smile. I saw that the child had made an obsesson Of her remorse and was planning such absurd schemes Of Atonement that she needed the say inE grace of bit Of ridicule.
 Not that disapproved Of course In home economies for any girl. But in Mary's case is ought to be brief and sketchy one. She was - and J had Philip Neritzen's trained ludg- ment back Of my opinion-that rar- cst of al! creatures, the possessor of unmistdkanle genius. To put her Into a routine Of domesticity would be like harnessing racing colt. Even it she married. her husband would have 10 possess a mind big enough and broad enough 10 leave her comparatively untraInmeled by homo ties and to share her with tn. public to which inevitably she would belong.
 So let my amused smile change into a light laugh as l answered her.
 Well that might be tha visss. course for you 10 pursue. after all, Mary. judging by the activities Of certain young man during the last week or two. I imagine No"l would particularly approve Of that deter imitation Of yours
 She flashed a startled glance at ne, flushed adorahly. tried unsuc- cessfully, to pout. and finally broke into an echo of my laugh.
 "I guess he would" she admitted. iimpling. "Oh. I don't mean that he wants 10 pin any especial tag on me hiHsalt. but ever since that hap pened :>s been talking about the terrible sscriiice q woman has to make :o gam fame, how it takes her ,outh, h1 beauty and her good times, and that girl would be so mucI, happier if she never had q career at all"
 That's a very good line Mary said, deliberately using one of her own slang expressions, but you haven't any idea that young Mir. Neritzen is handing it out as an i'm personal contribution 10 the worlds philosophy. have you? No. I don't expect an answer to that, but l do expect that you'll go straight 10 your room now and get your beauty

Only two residents have failed to have their houses connected with the mains of the Maple Hill Fire Dis trict. A total of lSS connections has been made, this being well over the number anticipated by the commits sioners.
 The Maple Hill Water Co. was in- corporated June I. 1918. Dr. A. B. Johnson of New Britain had devel- oped the Maple Hill section as a real estate proposition and had built tanks, etc. for those who built houses in that section. As the con- munity grew. 1t was evident that greaterGacilities were necessary and it was at that time that the residents formed the company and took over the property from Dr. Johnson. The company was organized September 10. 1913. with the following officers: Charles A. Blair president: Freder- icll NJ. Holmes. treasurer, and Jo- seph H. Latham. secretary.

Coolidge to Receive Airmen
 After PePilouS Trip

Washington. May 2.-P-The long journey of the army airmen who took the word of American friendship and good will to the na- tions south of the Rio Grande was to be fittingly celebrated with an official homecoming at Boiling Field here late today.
 A program calling for a personal welcome at the field by President Coolidge and other high govern ment officials included the prospect of multitude of citizens joining with representatives of the twenty or more Central and South Ameri- can countries visited. in expressing gratitude to. the flyers for a peril ous but successful voyage, in spite of its tinse of tragedy.
 Long days of flying under tropi- cal suns, over snow capped mount like forests now were history to the flyers. They had seen the blue green waters of the Pacific, the rugged peaks of the Andes and had skirted the dangers of the Amazon. As their reward they had the realization of having carried for the United States, it's message proclaiming good will. desire for continued peace and relations of equality for and with the sister republics of the south. Secretaries Kellogg and Davis of the war department were 10 be the first to greet the flyers and imme- diately conduct them to the presi- dents box where the nations well come was to be given.
 Only single remembrance of the 10000 mile journey was destined to mar what otherwise prophesied to be a notable conclusion 10 an inn portant addition 10 the country's air history-the loss of two of the good will flyers in a wreck at Buenos Aires. Except for minor difficult ties the flight otherwise had ap- preached it's end without incident

London, May 2.-R-Througho the British Isles and especially in Scotland, there was mourning today for viscount Cowdray. oil and in- dustrial magnate and philanthro- pist, who died at his Scottish home, Dunecht House, in Aberdeen yester- day.
 Grief was especially keen in Aberdeen. and the surrounding country. where hospitals and chari- table institutions had benefited through his generosity to the ex- tent of something like f75,oo0. His unexpected death came on the eve of a great celebration in honor of his benefactions, the members of his family being gathered at Aberdeen for the presentation to him of the freedom Of the city. which was to have taken place tomorrow.
 Mexico claimed a large share of the busy life of Lord Cowdray. for wealth and won the reputation of being one Of the worlds greatest oil kings. With Edward L. Doheny. of California. he was instrumental in opening up the oil fields in Mexico. organizing the Eagle Oil Co. He did much also in the way of engineering improvements for that country where he supervised the building of harbor works and drainage canal at Vera Cruz and a number of rail- way improvements.
 Lord Cowdray. who was Il years old, was better known to the busi- ness world as Weetman Dickson Pearson. the name he bore before he was raised to the peerage in 1910. He was created baronet in 1894, baron in 1910 and in 1917 became vscount.
 His business career started at the age of 21 with the firm of $. Pear son and Son. founded by his grand father. of which he later was 10 be- come the head.
 Although he was rector Of the University of Aberdeen. 191S-21, sat as member Of parliament from 1895 to 1910 and was president of the air board in 1917, his chief in- terest was business. Aside from his works in Mexico, Lord Cowdray's s numerous public. utility enterprises include the harbor at Dover, the tube under the Thames river. the Great Northern Railway and the Northern and City Railway and the Pennsylvania Railroad tunnels un- der the East river.

 The bitterest parliamentary struggle since the British question was settled was forecast by political leaders.
