.LINDbERGH'S TACT
 TRULY REMARKABLE
By It He Has Won Admiration
 Of All FrenChlnen

Paris. May 25 Rt-America's $ aviator-cnvoy, Captain Charles A. Lindbergh, has won universal ad- miration and aroused unparalleled enthusiasm, but by his modesty and tact. displayed in the face of un- precedented attentions, he was won even greater honors-the respect of all classes of Frenchmen.
 It was commented on everywhere today that never for one moment had the young American. who bounded so suddenly from compara- tive obscurity to world fame, lost his head or proved unequal to a situation in which he found himself thrust without preparation. He has been called upon to act in circum- stances which would have proved difficult for ruler or seasoned diplomat trained in the usages of public life, and never once has he made a mistake. He accepts com- pliments with the same manly dig nity as he listens to what to him must be silly questions: he replied to all alike with untiring patience and ready good nature.
 Another honor and there arc many more to come-awaited the flier today-the honorary diploma of the higher normal school, one of the greatest institutions of higher education in the world. Its class lists are simply a roll of honor of all that is greatest in the French literary, scientific. and political worlds of the past century. The di- rectors of the school feel that never was a diploma, although an honorary one, ever better earned than by Lindbergh's thesis in the conquest of the Atlantic"
 Early to bed. early to rise Is Lindbergh's motto. consequently he did not finger long at the little inti- mate dinner party given for him at the American embassy last night, notwithstanding that the guests were specially selected from among personalities who would be likely to be interesting to the airman. Among them were the Marquis De Polignac, a noted figure in French aviation history.
 Lindbergh feels that the time has come for him to thoroughly over look his machine If he is going to fly to Brussels Saturday, to see what the air port mechanics have been able to do towards putting it back into pristine perfection. So he decided to go to Le Bourget field today.
 T have simply go to do some work on the ship before I can take off for Brussels" he said. q have go to work on it without being bothered"
 Asked whether he would take the plane back to America, he replied Certainly"
 Then he vouchsafed the informa- tion that when he did go home it would be from a French port.
 France was the first country I came to-" he said. "and it will be the last one I leave on my way home."
 Apart from the honors at the higher normal school. today's pro- gram was comparatively light. It consisted of a luncheon with Louis Bleriot and reception at the cham- Der of deputies. During the rest of the time, he hopes to have a chance

CITES DANGER OF
BEING COMMENTED
WITH ROAD PLAN
Auto Body Says Officials,
Public Should Guard
Against Negligence.

Americas present highway system
far surpasses anything the world
has ever known, embracing more
than 100000 miles of surfaced roads
threading their way with imposing
effect into all parts of the country
Marvellous as this achievement is, it
embraces a subtle danger that motor
lists and others should be warned
against, according to the American
Automobile Association.
That danger, the statement says, is
the temptation to become satisfied
with the present situation, to regard
the present hard-surfaced highway
mileage as sufficient for the nations
needs.
Action Needed
The public and the public official
must realize constantly that the time
when it may rest upon its oars in
the matter of highway building is far

in the future" says Thomas P.
Henry, president.
"Our progress in road building has
been remarkable. But, if the fine
promise of the automobile for even
further strengthening the economic
fabric of America is to be realized
fully, we must make even more re-
markable progress"
The millions of motor tourists are
peculiarly susceptible to the tempta-
ton to regard the present road mile
age as ample if they limit their
travel to the more progressive Sec
lions of the country, the A. A. A
points out
cit is true that, in greater or
smaller degree, a vast majority of
Americas 100000 motor car own
ers go in for touring. This driving,
in the main, is confined to the best
mileage of the more than 100000
miles of highway that exist in the
United States. Because of this fact,
the motorist is likely to judge the
whole highway system by that part
of it he travels.
Old Story
ut is the old story of judging the
box of Strawberries by the large,
luscious fruit on the top. Just as
the berry buyer regrets his purchase
when his error is discovered, so the
motor car owner eventually will be-
moan his bad judgment if he as
sumes the national highway system
to be perfect because his touring
has been confined to the best Of the
roads. 1t is mental trap into
which one easily may fall unless one
is wary Of the danger of It's pres
ence."
America has enormous floor space

and tremendous resources in the i'm

MUS and the automobile needs in
creasingly more room in which to
fulfill it's promise, the statement
continues. Thus, it says, while the
need is present, the means by which
it may be met also are available.
Big Problems
Bringing the two together, y

alertness, constant realization that

For this reason. no motorist

because it provides him, personally,
