SANDING
BY WIN. PICKENs.

The U. S. has been boasting all over
the front pages of daily papers about
the number of "direct hits" which the
bombs of its war planes were max
ing on Sandino's men. And then,
Just as soon as Sandino's soldiers Cor
bandits" a la New York Times)
made one "direct hit" on a few Of
our marines, yell like helI-fire and
send off a great force of armed boats
and men to seek out and destroy
those internal devils who have no re-
spect for the lives Of soldiers who had
been sent there on harmless mis-
sion to kill Nicaraguans, especially OF
the SANDING crowd.
The poor "simp" who wrote: Right
makes might" simply ought to have
been put in the insane asylum, just
like the fellow who put his coat on
backwards. For it is plain that might
makes right! See how much more
of crime it is for the weak to kill
soldiers of the mighty than for the
mighty to kill soldiers of the weak.
SANDING is in his own country and
would doubtless behave himself there
so far as the u. S. is concerned, if she
would let him alone. U. S. soldiers,
on the other hand, are thousands OF
miles away from home, hunting San
dino, as if he were "big game"
Lindbergh was just about to make a
good impression for U. S. in Latin
America, when here comes the mill
tary outfit and spoils it all.

to increase our membership by five
thousand and to gain ten thousand

Party may be able to mobilize larger
masses in the present struggle.
Comrades, let us honor the memory
of our great teacher and leader.
Lenin, by carrying forward his work
and spreading the ideas of Leninism.

How to Regain Old Members That
Dropped Out During the
Party Reorganization
TgANY members who dropped out
during the reorganization can be
taken back into the Party. These
comrades dropped out because of
language difficulties or because they
could not understand the reOrganiza-
ton and other reasons.
They can best be gotten back thru
the language fractions and trade
union fractions because most of them
belong to clubs together with other
Party members and in the various
trade union groups. Our language
fractions and trade union fractions
must pay particular attention to the
drawing in of these members who
dropped out by personal visits, thru
personal conversation, and other
methods to be worked out.

rule when a comrade tries to re.
cruit new members he thinks Of the
whole working class-at least, OF his
cnCire union or shop, with the result
that he embraces the whole working
class and succeeds in getting nCne
INTO the Party. Comrades must learn
TO approach this question in a con-
crete manner.
Namely the comrades in the fac
tories, unions, fraternal organizations
must make list of the various SYM
pathizers to be approached for mem

ship should be divided up among the

signed to go after these sympathizers
Sympathizers and those who are
ready TO join the Party can be found
out thru the selling of our literat ure
pamphlets, discussions in the fac
tories on current questions Of in
terest to the workers, etc. Every
Party member is to concentrate on
one or more individuals, learning ali
about his personal life, his prejudiccs,

About that tie he was graduated from the Little Falls high school and entered the University of Wis consin. He began the study of me- chanical engineering, but college was not to Lindbergh's liking. He felt he was not learning there the things he wanted to know. He stood we'll in mathematics and he was an eager experimenter in the labora- tories. But it developed that his in- terest in experimnts was gone when he completed the laboratory work. H disliked writing up his notes and he was continually behind. His main interest in college was in the pistol shooting competitions.
 He took only small part in col lege life. prefering to be by himself and to- follow his own dictates. Finally he gave up college in 1921. without completing his course. and soon thereafter began his amazing career as an aviator.

CHAPTER FOUR

CHAPTER FOUR Two cats have won honored places in any story of Charles A. Lindbergh's career. EJ The first was a pedigreed angora, aristocrat of the feline family. Lind bergh dropped it from a second story window.
 The second was a kitten of un- known antecedents. He treated it with such consideration that he has won commendation of humane so- cieties and animal lovers the coun- try over.
 In addition to these two cats, which now have gained such great fame. dogs, horses and animals of every kind have had their place in Lindbergh's life for he is one of those men who never is alone as long as there is an animal. prefer ably dog. nearby. But to dispose of the cats. One of the earliest anecdotes of Lindbergh was told originally as illustrative of his early development of the experimental urge. Someone had told him that cat, no matter how far 1t dropped, would always land on its feet. He was then aged six and the family was living in the upper flat of two family house" in Minneapolis.
 The folks down stairs had a valuable angora Charlie appraised 1t and decided that it would be a good bit of material for an experi- i ment to determine the truth of the stories of cats always landing on their feet. He captured the angora, took it upstairs and dropped it from window.
 It landed an it's feet" he ex- plained to his mother. when she took him to task for his experiment.
 The other cat was the one which adopted Lindbergh at Curtiss Field Long Island, New York, while he was preparing 10 make his trans Atlantic flight. He proved that his boyhood love of animals was still with himf for he never was too busy to stop minute and play with the kitten. Often he was seen aronnd the hangars, in those try ing days. with the kitten on his shoulder.
 When, in the excitement of the st ~ for Paris, someone attempted to put the kitten in the machine with him, Lindbergh was not too busy to object.
 Tt may be cold and the kitten might die," he said as he insisted th !. for it's own good, it be left be- hind.
 But dogs arc Lindbergh's real
 ,anions. As a youth he wander

 He built boat one summer in Minnesota and on it he and his dog embarked day after day on long eX- cursions over the nearby waters.
