10 SHOW OudIleS
Americas air hero, in his new
role, we quote from a Paris cable
to the New York Times.
Witness Captain L~indbergh's re-
ception at the Chamber of Depu-
ties, of which a Times correspon-
dent tells:
Once more this young Ameri-
can rose nobly to the occasion.
His attitude of d%eferential shyness
in the presence of so many of his
elders, his dignity and seriousness
and the little speech he made were
in most perfect harmony.
There was no session of the
Chamber, yet fully four-ifths of
the Deputies, who might have
been excused for having spent the
afternoon attending to their own
business We're gathered in the re-
ception Oom of the Presidents
residence, when at three o'clock
Lindbergh with Ambassador Her
rick and the Embassy staff arriv-
ed.
President BouissOn met them
and in a short speech extended to
the transatlantic hero a welcome
to the Parliament of France. In
the large reception room, where
all the Deputies were gathered,
the handclapping was continuous
for five minutes when the tall,
fair-haired youth appeared.
Slowly, compelled to shake the
hands pushed forward to him from
every side, he crossed the room
and stood listening attentively /
with his ear inclined toward the
whispering interpreter, while Gen
eral Giraud. President of the Army
Commission of the Chamber, ac-
claimed him in the name of his
colleagues and congratulated him
on the happy realization of the
most audacious feat of the CEN
fury.
"It is not only two continents
which you have united" be said.
''but the hearts of all men every
where in admiration for that sim :
pie courage of a man who does
great things. You have won the I
greatest of all victories, such a {
victory for progress as makes all Z
men proud, such a victory as is |
most honorable and most worth
while. Your victory is over ma
ture, over that obstinate trio of
time, space, and matter, against
which mans fight must be inces- 8
SAINT if he is to progress. .
"How proud aviation is of you, :
her latest victor! You are of
those who have said and proved
that nothing is impossible. You in $
your youth belong to that glorious 3
band of whom M. Bleriot, stand o
ing now beside you. was me, who

Magnificent hero and dear II
heart, we greet you in the name u
also of those others of your coun-

cadrille died here for France, who v

friendship which unites Il
our two peoples" d
