Washington's Reception.

Washington bids farewell to Col
Lindbergh, after having feted and
honored him in a manner beAtting his
wonderful exploit. He has received in
this city the highest tribute that can
be paid to an individual. Greeted by
the President of the United States, and
by him decorated with the Distin-
guished Flying CrSss, presented with
other tokens of high honor, acclaimed
at every turn by cheering multitudes,
guest of organizations representing
the press of the country and the avia-
ton activities of America, he has flown
to New York. There he will receive
vociferous welcome. He will be again
feted and honored. He will be seen by
an immense number of people. He
will probably make several speeches,
brief and pointed and significant, as
were those he delivered in this city.
He will then go to st. Louis, there to
receive equally warm plaudits and
praise. After that his program re-
mains TO De determined.
1t was most appropriate that Lind
bergh should have come here first
upon his return from Europe, and
that he should have been greeted first
by the President of the United States.
He had in conspicuous manner DEM
onstrated American air supremacy.
III I,od ahIxy opd affao%;val,y ,arracapt
ed the spirit of good will of America
for other lands. He had become an
unofficial ambassador, as the President
said in his felicitous address on Satur-
day. To him, therefore, belonged the
distinction of an official national re-
ception, which could be accorded no.
where else than at the Capital.
It is gratifying that the entire pro-
gram was completed without check or
any misfortune due to the assemblage
of vast number of people. Every
feature of it was put through accord
ing to schedule and in the best of
order. 1t was a heartfelt manifesto
ton Of the appraisal by the people of
America of Lindbergh's feat of dar-
ing and his height of character.
Great good must come from this
popular demonstration of appreciation.
1t bespeaks the high valuation put
upon youthful earnestness Of purpose
and clean living. 1t manifests marked
ly the realization by the country of
the worth of character. An impulse
for the betterment of social conditions
must be felt in consequence.
In the line of his chosen field of
work, as an aviator, Col. Lindbergh
has already started his activity for the
broadening of the scope of airplane
service. He has brought a message
of good will from abroad, and has
given to the American people mes
sage of encouragement for the per-
sistent and systematic advancement
of aviation as a facility for the public
welfare.
Lindbergh's stay here covered less
than forty-eight hours, only a little
longer than his fight across the sea-
But 1t was filled with meaning, and it
has given the country much to think
about and to use for its highest bene-
At. He will return in a few months
to receive additional honors, but those
that have already been bestowed upon
him suffice to indicate the unbounded
esteem and affection in which he is
regarded by his fellow Americans.

Present Popularity.

"Your constituents will be ready
with an ovation"
Lets avoid deceiving ourselves"
said Senator Sorghum. What chance
for big popularity has a man who
rides along Main street in a fiivver
instead Of coming down in an air
plane?"
