Parents Greet Smith San Diego. Cal., Sept. 22.—Amer lea's round-the-world fliers returned today to Rockwell field. Pan Pirgo, from which they took off last March to start on thpir globe-encircling trip. As If to give good measure to an achievement already heralded far and wide, the fliers got In ahead of the announced schedule, disappointing part of a large crow which was as sembling to meet and cheer them but there was enough of a crowd on hand to make the welcome a real one and the aviators made It plain that they appreciated the reception. The announced plan is for the fliers to resume tomorrow their trip to wtrds Seattle, the official starting 'point of the flight around the world. • They expect to leave for Sanla Mon ica, at about noon. At 10:34:48 a. m., Lieut. Lowell Smith, commander of the squadron, dropped the wheels of the air cruiser on the ground of historic Rockwell field, where the army turned out many fliers for service In the world war and where there still remains a great establishment for the training of American army aviators. Special ora Cheer. I/lent. Krlk Nelson, wlngmate of Smith on the entire world voyage, brought his ahlp to the field at 10:84:51, followed by Lieut. Leigh Wade. 10:35. Amid the crash of the hand, the eheera of the epectators and the roar of the propellers as Lieutenant Smith taxied hla ship up to the deadline, came a cry from the lips of Mrs. Jas per Smith, mother of the world flight commander. It was: “I want my boy!” From his seat in the forward eook Pit Smith, his grime-covered face eagerly acanntng the crowd for the sight of those whom he loved best, saw' his mother and father wildly waving tiny American flags to at tract his attention. Major Shepley W. Fitzgerald, com manding Rockwell field, sprang on to the lower wing section. reached t lirough the strut wires and shook Smith's hand. “Let me get down, major," said Smith. "I want to get to mv mother ." Jumping from the plane. Smith rushed Into his mother's arms. "My boy; my wonderful boy!" she whispered as she kissed the flight commander time and again. Smith’s father, reaching the only spot on the army aviator's face that was not be ing smothered with kisses by his wife, reached, his arm around both and planted a resounding smack on hie hoys right ear. It was more than Lieutenant Smith could stand and not give vent to his feelings. Smith Weeps. The man noted throughout the American air service for his steel nerve, hia stoical demeanor In the fHce of the greatest danger, wept softly as another mother, too. wept for joy at the homecoming of ihe globe airmen. She was Mrs. Hard Ing, relief pilot and mechanic with Lieutenant Nelson. “Rod bless you." said Mrs. Hard Ing ns she flung her arms around h»r hoy's neck and kissed him. "find has brought you hack safely to me." Despite the triple patrol of blue jackets, marines and cavalrymen, Dol.

By t'ulversal Rlnlct. Chicago, Sept. 22.—The society romance of Kdtvard F. Swift, son of the millionaire packer, and his pretty wife reached the divorce court today after six years. Mrs. Stvift, who was formerly Miss Marlon Atchison of Atlanta, C,a , brought suit against her hus liand charging cruelty. Her mil lionaire husband, she declared, struck her with his clenched fist in the course of a quarrel two days before Christmas, 1923. Rumors of a separation which became rife in social circles at the time, and which grew to divorce talk proportions in May of this year, when Mrs. Swift left her hus band's home, thus were verified. For nearly a year reports of dis sension in the Swift family have been current. It wq*c in May of this year, M^s. Swift's bill for di vorce sets forth, she reached the limit of her endurance, and after another violent quarrel she found It impossible to live with her hus band. Young Swift, according to h!s wife's charges, used “vile and op probrious language,” struck her re peatedly, and did not "conduct himself as a Idving husband should.” In the preamble to her divorce bill Mrs. Swift declared that she had always been a "kind and lov ing wife." The marriage of the son of the millionaire packer to Miss Athicon, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. H. At chison of Atlanta, on February *, 1918. was a social event. The cop pie honeymooned at White Sulphur Springs, Va., and lived for a time In New York, where Swift was sta tioned as ensign In the I'nlted States Navy. Mr. Swift refused to comment on the divorce suit today, contenting himself with the statement, “I have nothing to say.” ^ iscaiisin Storm Takes 33 Lives Heavy Property Damage; Stock and Crop* Suffer.

Sacrificed Like Greeley “There is a pathetic side toethc presidential campaign that makes it one of the mos t Interesting since Horace Greeley was sacrificed. It is the figure of John W.

Mr. Allen was in the city to address the Ad-Sell league and dis cussed politics with friends at his room at the Elks club. “It is a real grinding process that is going on in American politics,” said Mr. Allen “New issues are com ing to the fore as a result of our tre mendous Industrial development.

At the moment, however, these issues are feeling blindly for a voice and this accounts for La Follette. “In this struggle there is no real place for a middle ground.
