Father, Mother * Greet Smith at ^ San Diego Field Globe Circling Flight Had Few More Dramatic Mo ments Than Meeting of Parents and Son. By IX)WELL THOMAS. “We were on the homestretch when we left Tuscon (nr Son Diego,” said Flight Commander Smith, "or we would have flown off our course and passed over Phcnix In order 1 to pay tribute to the memory of one of the gamest men that ever piloted an air plane.

It brought back memories of India and of the days we had spent flying up the fam ous Grand Trunk road of Hindustan in the footsteps of Kim, the hero of Kipling's Immortal story. The coun try below us looked like some parts of India, too. But neither that nor the name of Kim could fool us now. We were flying with ou; throttles nearly wide open, at 100 miles an hour, and we knew that the passing of every minute was bringing us a mile and a half nearer my home, just over the desert's rim.

For weeks the officials of San Diego had been preparing for the greatest celebration in the history of that city since Iheir world fair of 1915. Special trains, ferries, busses, and strings of street cars were In readiness to take fully kft.ftftft people out to Rockwell field Hundreds of soldiers and sailors were still In their baht-arks awaiting the command to "fail In." Thirty army and navy airplanes had just been trundled nut of their hangers and their pilots were not expecting to take off for another hour or more. Hurried Reception Plans. But at 9:20 a message flashed across the mountains from Et Centro lhat the world flyers were at that moment passing over' the Imperial valley and would reach San Diego within an hour. Without stopping to wad their ears with cotton, the pilots at Rockwell field hurriedly pulled on their helmets and goggles, yelled to their mechanics, jumped Into their cockpits, and shouted "Contact!" Propellers were swung, and a mo ment later 30 escort planes were soar ing eastward, toward the mountains. The office staff at Rockwell and Mr. Howard Worth, chairman of the local world flight committee, telephoned everywhere they could think of in San Diego in a desperale attempt to reaeh Mr. and Mrs. Jaspar Smith and Mrs. Roberta Harding, who were known to have come down from Their homes in Los Angeles the night be fore. By 1ft o'clock a few hundred spec tators had drifted out to North isl and. But a few minutes later cars rolled up with the parents of the fliers and the city officials. “Here they come!" shouted Lieut. Corliss Moseley,* commander of Los Angeles airport. Vivid Picture of Reception. Otis M. Wiles of Los Angeles viv idly describes the historic scene: "Three planes, flying abreast, and trailed by 25 others, loomed through the morning mists to the eastward over the city. " 'O. my dear—hPte he comes,' and Mrs. Jasper Smith, tears of joy in her eyes ami standing on her tiptoes, while site waved her handkerchief to ward ttie middle plane—she knew her boy was piloting that plane—began to dance up and down as the naval band struck up a lively tune. "She continued to dance, but she danced not alone. Rev. Jasper Smith was shaking his feet in a vigorous jig, one arm embraced his wife. The other was waving an American flag. I am proud—and 1 don't give a dern who knows it.’ ills boy was the leader of that courageous sextet, and this was the greatest day of his life. "The thrumming drew near Rock well field, increasing in volume. Smith, Neison, Wade, Arnold, Hard ing and Ogden—with their planes wing to wing—skimmed majestically onward. They circled high over North island. All Make Pretty Landing. "Jasper Smith and his jubilant wife ran down the steps of the re viewing stand, then around in cir cles, then out toward the open field. Major Moseley guided them back. ■' 'Our happiness has Just swelled up and exploded,' the father of Lieu tenant Smith apologised. The fiePt of planes disappeared behind the tree tops and hajigv-s. "A brief expresalon of dlaappoint ment flashed across the tearstained faces of the mother and father or the bashful boy who had Carried his nation's flag around the world. Again they hove in view, the mighty en gines causing the e.arth to tremble." 10:34:48 a. m.—The wheels of Lieu tenant Smith's and Lieutenant Ar nold's plane touched the ground. Three seconds later Lieutenant Nel son and Lieutenant Harding skimmed down to earth, followed by Lieuten ant Wade and Lieutenant Ogden nine seconds afterward. Touching Family Reunion. The official time was recorded by E. M. Cooper, representing the Na tional Aeronautical association. Lieut -fohn Paul Richter, who had accom panied Lowell Smith on a number of record-breaking flights In previous years, sang out the number of the planes as their wheels touched the earth. Then the three world cruis ers taxied up to the reviewing stand. The crowd surged toward them. The Rev. Jasper*Smith, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Roberta Harding were swept along with them. As the flyers dropped out of their cockpits Smith * Rockwell field pals hoisted him Into the air. "Let me down, fellows, I want to get to my mother first," he shouted A moment later six loving arms be came entangled In one embrace. Lieutenant Smith' father and mother said nothing. They could not—they were too overjoyed. Nor did Lleuten ant Smith speak. The little family of three Just stood there, wedged in the Lhrong, and looked happily at each other, while nearby "Smiling .lark" was in tlie arms of Ids mother and the other four were surrounded by a crowd of friends congratulating liiem on their great feat and their safe return. A hi!“h fell over the throng as the voice of an army chaplain rose in a prayer of thanksgiving to Almighty God: "We thank Thee, our Father, for the safe return of these great Magel Ians of the air. for their bravery, for titude and daring that caused them to he the first to carry the Stars and Stripes around the world on the wings of thew lnd. And we thank Thee for hearkening to the prayers of their countrymen for the success of this great undertaking." After lunch the flyers were taken to tha great stadium out at Balboa pork, where, sa Leigh Wade crypti cally expressed It, "the Rev. Smith piade a long speech and hie eon made a short one." Signal Honors for All. "While out there at Balboa park,’ said Lieutenant Ogden, "six of 11n most beautiful girls we hail ever seen '■ante op anil hong garlands of flown around our necks.

Quickest relief for catarrhal croup and ohd dren a choking up at nlg"ht Today ISitrofen or Power? I'ori! Puts It Plainly. Looks Like Monopoly you'. Up to the President. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. I _—--' At the request of the War de partment, Henry Ford offered to develop the power plant, built by the people at Muscle Shoals, to pro vide nitrogen from the atmosphere for use in war time. Nitrogen can be made into ex plosives, for war, and fertiliser for peace. Politicians in Washington re jected Ford’s offer, although the entire south and all the farmers de manded that the government ac cept it. Ford, wearied of Wash ington’s grafting vacillation, with drew his offer. And the Muscle Shoals plant, as things now stand, is scheduled to be put under the control of a great power monopoly. Every voter in this country ■mould read and remember, until next election. Henry Ford’s state ment concerning Muscle Shoals. It was made yesterday, In response to a message from W. R. Hearst urg ing Ford to re-enter the Muscle Shoals contest, and again to rescue the people'3 property from selfish exploiters. The situation is clear. The president must see it plainly. And fortunately, private .monopolists cannot seize this public property, without the president’s consent. Should Muscle Shoals go to the power monopoly, that concern will be directly indebted to President Coolidge. These are points in Henry Ford's statement that interest every Amer ican : “I am willing to co-operate with government in developing Muscle Shoals into a great nitrate plant, making cheap fertilizer for the American farmers. “In my opinion, the Shoals should be used for thp production of ni trates and fertilizer. “I believe that the government could itself keep Muscle Shoals and run it, not as a power plant, hut as a nitrate plant, to help the farm ers in peace and safeguard the country in war. The people of the Fnited States spent $110,000,000 to create a government nitrate riant, not a power housp. We hould not lose sight of the origi nal and biggest reason for Muscle Shoals being built. “If the government keeps Muscle Shoals and operates the nitrate plant by the army and navy, I chall he glad to put at their service all that the Ford company has of knowledge and experience. Our engineers have beeen working for three years on the problem of mak ing cheap nitrogen from the air for fanners. We believe we have dis covered improvements on the pres ent processes. We believe air ni trate can be made at a price that will materially reduce the cost of fertilizer on the farm. “The Ford company will over to the government, without cost, the results of its research. “We will lend the men to help build up an efficient organization to run the Shoals. As a citizen's duty, we worked with the army and navy during the war. We are ready to give the same co-operntion to the government in aid of the farmers now. cost free to the government. “Our open offer, made at govern ment request, was based on public service principles with a view to developing, maintaining and turn ing hack to the government a great public utility and defensive a'«et. This cannot be done under the sys tem of ‘private profit only’ that now rules business. “It is a mistake to say that the government cannot run the nitrate plant ns well as any private p vty. This is the very kind of business the government ought to engage in. Electro-chemical methods of air ni trogcn fixation do not require great forces of employe*. It is a straight job of letting the forces of nature work for you. The government has as good men as there are in this field. We talked with some of them when we were figuring on the Shoals. “If the government keeps Mus cle Shoals and runs it for the farmers, I will help, so far as tech nical help goes, just as much as I could have helped it if I had taken the property over. (Signed.) “HENRY FORD.” In his appeal sent to Henry Ford hy wire, Mr. Hearst said: “I know how public-spirited you are. and how much you have at heart the welfare of our country and our people. “I know that in your former atti tude toward the Muscle Shoals en terprise you were animated mainly hy a desire further to benefit the people of this country, and partic ularly the farmers, whom you hold so closely in your consideration. “I know that you haVe lost none of this desire to serve, and I think that the situation in Washington (hat has developed in regard to the Muscle Shoals enterprise would again warrant your attention, in the public interest.” Every farmer and every other good citizen in the country should write to President Coolidge, urging him to keep Muscle Shoals out of the hands of monopolistic exploit ers. It is understood that the presi dent does not believe in public own erships perhaps because his knowl edge of politicians convinces him that they can't he trusted with a dollar. Rut the president surely does not believe in turning over a $140, 000,000 public investment to be ex ploited by private monopolists, whose record for private exploita tion is notorious. President Coolidge will decide the matter. Congress will not send him a bill if it is known that he will veto it. Write the president and tell him what you think. Farmers, espe cially should write. The president b always glad to hear from any citizen. (Copyright, 1925.) BROTHERS TO TAKE ROW FROM COURT Two brothers, C\ W. and H. F.
