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

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

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, "

Mr. Graves follows the rain ares
from day to day as it travels on the

SPEED LURE KILLS
Two Unfortunate Victims at the
Chloago Aero Meet.
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. He soared over
