PARIS, May 25.--Paris today
was raising higher and higher the
standard which New York must at
tain if its greeting TO Captain
Charles 4. Lindbergh on his return
home shall match that of this city.
Men stood at salute today and
women threw bouquets as Lind

through the thickly populated slums
of northeastern Paris, returning
from visit to his plane at lie Bour-

1t was another of those triumph
ant rides which have become Lind
bergh s lot since he amazed the
world with his feat of flying alone
across the Atlantic ocean. The Ia
boring people lined the streets.
Lindbergh inspected at lie Bour-
get the plane being constructed for
Paul Tarascon who plans to fly
from Paris to New York in August.
The craft is monoplane of $50
horse power.
Lindbergh inquired especially
whether the plane would float and
was assured that it was as solid as
a boat.
Lindbergh pronounced his plane
ready, except for minor adjust
ment or two, to carry him to Brus.
sells and London.
There still was enough Roosevelt
gasoline in the tanks for the pro.
.iected flights, and Lindbergh init,
mated that he would carry on with
American fuel.
To Visit King Albert
Lindbergh was not satisfied with
the way the holes ripped by souven,

Delegations, invitations and con-
gratulations still were arriving for
Lindbergh today. The delegations
came from London and the scores
of invitations to the young man in
dicated that the reception he re-
ceived here will be duplicated on
the other side of the channel.
Americans who have made way
for Lindbergh's French hosts on
most occasions since he arrived have
promised in the name of their fell
low countrymen in New York the
biggest welcome ever in Lind

Louis Bleriot, designer and pilot
Of the first airplane to fly across
the English channel, was Lindb,
ergh s host at luncheon today. The
luncheon was a private affair at
Bleriot s home.
Lindbergh said he WAS glad of

Mud and More Mud
1t is probable that Kensingtonians
will take steps this year towards the
introduction Of a petition before the
next town meeting for the establish
ing Of sidewalks In the railroad
district. This seasons thaws and
rains have made the community
one mass of mud and it is impossible
to walk any distance without sink
ing into the morass which marks the
main street Of the district.
Some time ago, rumors had 1t that
a property owner with land fronting
on Main street. Kensington. and in
GLIDING the Legion Hall was consid.
ering the laying OF footways on that
property. Since that time no &C.
ton has been taken.
There are some five or six
stretches OF sidewalks in Kensing-
ton, most of them merely patches
fronting on newly constructed or
public owned property. 1t is
thought that most residents Of the
community would cooperate with
town officials in the introduction of
the sidewalks if steps were taken by
the governing body.
Berlin proper is tribe better of
on the sidewalk question, Worthing-
ton ridge being bordered by side
walks on both sides from Farming
ton avenue past the town hall. Con-
siderable bitterness over the side
walk situation has been expressed
by those In Kensington who have
ruined shoes and stockings.
Correction
Members Of the Kensington Mems
Lyceum have called attention to tho
fact that Monday evenings patriotic
meeting Of the organization will be
held in the parlors Of the Kensing-
