ILONG DISTAN, Rapidly as the public is becoming accustomed to aeroplano novelties, it received fresh cause for wonder and enthusiasm in the achievement of Harry N. Atwood. When he landed in Chicago on the first lap of his St. Louls-to-Boston trip he broke the American record for a day's flight and demonstrated the remarkable ef ficiency which has been reached in aeroplane construction. Express trains travel between Chicago and St. Louis In 8 hours; Atwood's time In the air was 7 hours and 30 minutes. When he reached Albany, N. Y., At wood had flown 1,123 miles, breaking all cross-country flights. Atwood's boyish appearance attracts attention. He is a tall, slender youth, looking anything but the part of the most daring and successful aviator in the United States. Atwood shuns no loriety a ni reception committees as far as possible. le cares little for anything exee)t achievement in the aviation world. le is retiring to an ui duco him to talk of his own nehieveni skyscrapers andl aroundl their towers; h' and( call on the lpresidlent, had alreadly American 'aviators, In the course of his travel Atwood farms and in towns their first opportur How some of the pioneers must have r in transportation-first the slow-going railway nowv, the aeroplane-all withini that demonstrated he was possessed of terredl by fear. WANTS TO MA Col. IEdward HI. R. Green, presidlent of the WVestinghouso company, with assets of $125,000,000, owner of thte Texas Midland railroad andl son of Mrs. Hetty Green, is going to marry within a year. Who the bride-to-be is he doesn't know, but he says in all so riousness thtat his bachelorhood will end before he is a year older. Here is the secret of why Col. Green, who is 43 years old, has so long lived the life of single blessedness. Hie prom ised his mother 19 years ago, w'hen she took him down to Texas to "br~eak him in" as a railroad section hand, that he would remain a bachelor 20 years. He has kept his word, but when the time limit expires next year he is going to take unto himself a wife. Three hundred proposals of mar riage have reached Col. Green since he decided to live in New York a year ago to take charge of his moth er's interests. Scores of the aspir ing .maids enclosed photographs a~nd l( the states of the Union, while some 11 even the Hawaiian Islands. He has ture Mrs. H. R. Green must be a womi colonel for himself and not for the mi mother. CORED ASTOR Society has been forced to sit u and take notice of the denunciatic which has been hurled by Rev. Geori Chalmers Richmond, rector of E John's Episcopal church in Philade phia, against the proposed marriage( John Jacob Astor, a mulU-millionair aged 47, to Miss Madeline Talmag Force, a beauty aged 18 years. The denunciation which was mad from the pulpit has been followed b more sharp criticisms-a criticis which has extended to others of tI smart set who marry and divorce wil the ease and nonchalance with whi< they put on their coats. Mr. Astor, it may be recalled, wt divorced from his wife, who was Miss Willing, of Philadelphia, and is because this divorce is to be fc lowed by remarriage that Rev. M Rtichmond is aroused to the fightia point. "The Episcopal church," he said, " opposed to divorce. We score uniho lums and the rich society dwellers ( rs' summer retreats.

St. Croix Johnstone and "Blity" Bad. ger, Young Aviators Who Lost Their Lives, Were Skilled Snd Very Popular. Chicago.-The two aviators who lost their lives while taking part in the fourth day's program of the-inter. national aero meet here had careers filled with thrills and comparatively short as bird-men. A desire to attain a record for speed in travel lured both young men into the aviation game. St.- Croix Johnstone was a Chicago boy. He came here a few years after his birth in Toronto, Ont., and was the only son of Dr. Stuart Johnstone of this city. Having won honors in other parts of America and across the sea, the aviator, just twenty-four years old, had returned to his home city to distinguish himself further. It was his first appearance in Chicago as an air pilot since he had obtained his li cense. Johnstone obtained his education in the Chicago public schools, later tak ing a course of instruction at Lewis institute. While subsequently em ployed in the advertising business the young man became a motorcycle en thusiast and at eighteen was known as a "crack" rider. Johnstone decided to enter aviation two years ago. He went to Pay, France, and became a student in the Bleriot school. Upon completion of this course he purchased two mono planes from Count do Lesseps and gave several exhibitions on the con tinent. Last October Johnstone went to England to study aeroplanes. He became a licensed air pilot on Decem b her 30, 1910, the day before John B. f Moisant lost his life at New Orleans. The young aviator came to America last spring and before his return to Chicago had appeared at Long Island, Detroit, Havana and Toronto. He was for some time a teammate of Harry N. Atwood, the long distance flyer. Johnstone's flight at Havana is con sidered the most daring feat of his career as an aviator.
