PHILADELPHIA, September 16.—A Mexican flag made by Senora Obregon, wife of the President of Mexico, was officially presented to the city of Leather Handbags and Pocketbooks Philadelphia at historic Independence Hall today while a band played ‘the Mexican national anthemr and “The Star_Spangled Banner.” This was Mexico’s independence day, and the ceremony was-the feature of the ob- servance of the day by Mexicans in Philadelphia. The flag was to have been presented last spring by the women constituting the Pan-American Round Table, but OGO BPPOPPDPODDOPOOIPDUDditddd DOt ddddddddtddddddds Pure Silk Hose Perfect Quality through a misunderstanding it was not officially received, but presented to the New Cen(ur; lub for the women of Philadelphia! The emblem was turned over té the city ‘tbday by Mrs. Jokn B. Roberts, president of the club, and was _efficially received by Maj, Barclay H. Warburton, director of the department of public welfare, on behalf of Mayor Moore, who is out of the city. g Mayor Moore, in a letter regretting his absence, said the flag was accept- ed “not only as an evidence of the growth, stability and patriotism of a nelghboring republic, but as an en- couragement from the home of Amer- ican Independence to those who have strugglea and fought for -independ- ence in their own Jand.” A brief ad- dress was made by G. de la Concha, a —_—— Mexican student at the University of Pennsylvania.

Obtaining voles, they fished the body out and reported their find to the police. Later it was identified as that of Mrs. Catharine Wess, forty years old, 1514 North Spring street. Identi- tion was made by her husband, John Wess, who reported the disnp-l playing on the pearance of his wife September 14. At the city morgue, where the body was taken, it was said the woman had been struck on the head with a club or other weapon, and the body had probably been in the water for twenty-four hours. quarters, or point blank range, there were only three misses. At the 8,000- foot range there were nine direct hits and 223 misses. Nine-pound smoke bombs were used. If war bombs con- taining high explosives had been used the Agamemnon, experts say, would certainly have been very badly dam- aged if not actually sunk. The air- planes operated from a base of thirty miles away. One of the wonders of the demon- stration was the behavior of the Aga- memnon herself. She was under wire- less control, dircted from a detsroyer. Without a human being on board she twisted and turned at a speed varying from six to fifteen knots. Her fires were stoked with ofl fuel and she ma- neuvered throughout a long day as if fleet from such attacks. During the experiments the deck of the light cruiser Canterbury, carrying foreign naval attaches, naval experts and newspaper men came, tempo rarily, the floor of an animated deba! ing soclety, says the Daily News. Warfare Complicated. ‘There was one point on which every one appeared to be agreed—that the development of the airplane would not make naval warfare cheaper by lead- ing to the abolition of the battleship, but would make it more expensive by adding to its complexity. There was evidence of the necessity of having more airplanes for coast defense. . “All this means,” sald one enthusi- ast, “that the poor old taxpayer will have to put his hands still deeper into First Floor.
