CAPITAL PREPARES TO EQUAL
FLYERS RECEPTION ABROAD
Details of Welcome Await Word From
Lindbergh as to Length of Stay
in Washington.

\ Nation eager to reward uncom.
mon skill and valor looked forward
today to June IL. when Capt. Charles
A. Lindbergh. arriving aboard the
cruiser Memphis. is to be acclaimed
by his own people, personified by their
President.
This young flyer. whose exploits Of
the air have stirred the admiration of
the world. is destined to find home.
coming at the hands of folks who
know and understand him equal to his
remarkable receptions in the lands
where he was a stranger. Although
accustomed to great events. Washing
ton has been fired into unusual en-.
thusiasm. realizing. perhaps. that Its
welcome, unlike that of any other city.
will typify the gratitude of the whole
country.
After he has been honored by Presi.
dent Coolidge on behalf of the Ma
ton, Lindhergh will be free to go to
New York, whence he first flew to
fame, to St. Louis. which made his
history making fight possible, and to
any other cities which might be
granted the privilege of honoring him.
Plans Await Flyers Decision.
Meanwhile. having learned that
Capt. Lindbergh desires to return d.
rect to Washington. the President
special cabinet committee has placed
responsibility for working out of the
details of the reception upon the com.
mittee headed by John Hays Ham.
mond. The extent OF the flyers stay
In Washington will be determined
alone by his wishes, and whether he
flies to. New York after one day here
in his Spirit of st. Louis, or ina Gov.
ernment plane, or goes by rail, are
plans which must await his decision.
The exact time Of the official re-
ception also is a detail to be deter
mined later. Lindbergh Is scheduled
to reach Washington Saturday, June
II. but If the arrival is very late at
night, President Coolidge will decorate
him with the distinguished flying
cross on Monday shortly before the
Executive leaves for his vacation.
Under present plans Lindbergh will
arrive in New York as he left 1t on
May 20. to brave death in an ocean
spanning f1ight--by air and in the
same plane.

Naval officers were certain the Mer /.

here In ample time a week from Sat.
urday for the celebration to be held
that day. In event Of a late arrival,
however, the Presidents reception

Whether Lindbergh will go West ~

Special Train Offered.
Recently the Association of Railway
Executives. meeting in Atlantic City,
offered the aviator special train facili.
ties comparable to those accorded
Queen Marie and other DISTINGUISHED
foreign visitors. If accepted, the offer
would permit Lindbergh to travel
westward on special train by paying
the nominal fare Of 81.
Today the association received the
following reply from the flyer: "Sin.

.L|NDBERGH IS DUE

New Informs President Plans
for Reception June II
Await Flyers Wishes.

President Coolidge was informed by
Postmaster General New, one Of the
committee Of four Cabinet officers del.
egated by the President to make ar.
rangements for the Governments
recognition Of Capt. Lindbergh, that
the latter Is expected to arrive at
the Navy Yard, Washington, at noon
June II.
The Postmaster General told the
President that the wireless received
by the cabinet committe today from
the commander OF the cruiser Mem.
phis. which will bring the young flyer
to Washington, was to the effect that
the Memphis would sail from Cher
bourg, France, Saturday and would
arrive at Washington about noon
June II. weather permitting"
New informed the President what the
committee had been doing for plans
and at the same time made II plain
that details for the entertainment Of
Capt. Lindbergh during his brief stay
in Wa 1.lington are indefinite at this
time.
Program Still Indefinite.
The Postmaster General said after
his talk with the President that the
CdDlfleL committee luuS lar mas ar
ranged only for the coming Of Capt.
Lindbergh to Washington, his trans
portation from the Navy Yard to the
Presidents residence and the presenta.
ton of the Distinguished Flying Cross
by the President.
This is the program so far as any
thing definite has been arranged by
the cabinet committee. Postmaster
General New explained that the com.
mittee is inclined to feel that 1t would
be better to postpone arranging
complete program until Capt. Lind
bergh's personal wishes in the matter
are known.
Mother May Be Invited.
1t is assumed by those associated
with the President that Capt. Lind
bergh will be invited by the President
and Mrs. Coolidge to make his home
at the temporary White House, Is Du.

MORTAR co s |
RUNS HIGH

Realizing that the tremendous
building program over the entire
country has cost more than it
should because builders have cara.
lessly insisted upon the use of
materials that cost too much. con.
structing engineers are eliminating
unnecessary and waSteful strength
in building operations more and
more, the National Lime Associa.
ton announces following an ex.
tensive survey of the construction
field.
To the extent that high costs are
influencing the slackening of build
ing operations this extravaganza in
strength is retarding the buildinu
program and, in a broad sense, ii
has its effect upon the general
prosperity of the nation, the survey
shows. Strength, like everything
else, is bought at price. Econ
omy restricts good practice tc
strength that Is sufficient allowing
a reasonable margin Of safety, AMI
strength in excess or that is con
sidered wasteful and extravagant
the association holds,
Maintaining that unnecessary
strength Is an unjustifiable extrava
gance, the association has found
from the survey that It not only
curtaiIs building operations, but
that it increases the cost of the
building to the owner, the builder
the tenant, and the public. While
on the other hand, economy of ma,

is used to its full effectiveness tc
insure economy, building codes car
be compiled whereby sufficient
strength, with a fair margin oil
safety, can be obtained, and q
greater and more extensive building
program can be carried out from
savings on present waste and ex
travagance.
The survey shows that there is
no single piece Of work on a build
ing operation where this falIacy OF
unnecessary strength runs to more
foolish extremes than in mortar
Certain materials have been pro.
NOTED so vigorously on the score OF
their high strength. usually shown
by laboratory tests only, that many
builders have slipped into the mis-.
taken idea that maximum strength
is the only consideration. Few build.
ers seem to realize that very little
masonry is required to support more
than it's own weight.
Field tests. or even laboratory
tests are usually lacking. Also. the
cost is usually in line with the
claimed laboratory strengths. While
mortar may seem to be a minor
item, the increase in the cost of
construction which is directly due
to the cost of excess strength runs
to an amazing figure.

Moreover, lime mortar continually
increases in strength. 1t gradually
