...Axel Anderson, fireman, had almost won the hand of Rita Coates, teacher, when the Lynn. Mass, school committee intervened last month to say that Miss Coates could not have both her job and Axel. "This condemns me to the life of a spinster," mourned Rita Coates. "I have no choice unless I wish to desert my father and mother who are absolutely dependent...
...carefully avoided. Instead of explosive hydrogen, safe helium gas was chosen. Equally improved was everything else. By June 5, these preparations had cost the U. S. Army Air Corps and the National Geographic Society, joint sponsors of the flight, some $175,000. Then for a month Captains Orvil A. Anderson and Albert W.

C. has also done 9.6 in competition. In the 200, it is the same story, with Anderson and Draper each claiming a 21 second flat race...
Amplifying this last week, Lecturer Anderson said he might be called a Christian Scientist, psychologist, evangelist or Baptist, "but I do not claim to be any of these. I simply believe in the lessons of Jesus Christ." Asked if he thought he could become President of the U. S. simply by believing in it, he parried: "Ah! If! If I believed it! But I would not believe that. A woman in London asked me whether if she believed she were Queen Mary she would be Queen Mary. I said yes, that there was only one sane woman in England...
