those who have feared the flier
would be Ionesome-he almost al
ways drove alone. He liked SOli-
tude, and he likes it still.
On leaving farm work Lindbergh
went to college, to study mechani-
cal engineering, but according to
fellow students he was not an
academic success.
Then one day an airplane landed
on the college campus and a new
fire was lit in this alOof boys
heart.
"Tm going to be an aviator" he
told his mother without preamble,
and forthwith signed up for in
structiOn at an aviation school.
From the moment he first curled
his fingers around a control stick
he was a success at flying. When
he was through at the commercial
school Lindbergh became a student
at the army school at Kelly field
in Texas. For two years he studied
there and it was during that time
that he had his first accident and
first acquired the name of lucky"
Lindbergh.

L Mail And Army
Experiences Preparation For
Record Breaking Paris Trip

While stunting in the air he
crashed with another plane and
both he and the other aviator had
to ego over the SIDE" They had
parachutes, but at that time it was
a new idea that aviatorS might be
saved by parachutes just as well
as balIOnists. But when the
wrecked planes landed at the col
lisiOn the pilots already on earth,
congratuIating each other on their
escape.
After two years at the army
school and another in army serv-
ice, Lindbergh went back to the
middle west and became an en-
plOye OF the Robertson Aircraft
corporation. 1t was in this capa-
city that he became an air mail
flier and was able to pile up
total of 1900 hours in the air in
the six years after he first left the
ground. 1t has been estimated
that this is equal to the average
aviatOr's l years experience.

THE PILOT


NEW YORK, May FL Pj.-The
life story of Charles Lindbergh is
a record of the attainment of a
high ideal held to with Unswerv-
ing determination.
AT heart the gangling aviator is
"just the boy he looks" says his
friends, and his ideal, though not
always the same, is one not un-
similar to that held by virtually
every American boy. He had
"bent," and he hoped to achieve
greatness in his chosen field.
Born in the middle west in 1902,
the son OF Charles A. Lindbergh,
who later became a congressman,
Charlie Lindbergh seemed at first
destined for the life of a farmer.
Up until six years ago he was
pIodding industriously behind ploW
and harrow, but every spare nnin-
ute he spent ON his old motorcycle
or in any car that he could lay
his hands on.
Besides that--and this has a
bearing on the present flight for

HISTORY MAKING
FLIGHT THRILLS
CAPITAL OF i. S.
President Coolidge Cables
Congratulations to
Daring Aviator


WASHINGTON, May 81 Up -
Lindbergh's history making Hight to
France today thrilled Washington
out Of its traditional stolldity.
The thought of this yonng airman
winging his way alene through the
darkness Of the night over deserted
ocean waters, and depending 1or his
life on his own skill and courage,
aroused the interest and touched
the imagination OF the capital as
few things have done in the past.
There had been the arny's World
circling Eight, the hop OF the Me-
across the Atlantic, the trans At
lantic voyage of the Los Angeles,
and other feats OF aviation which
had brought admiration anG praise
from washington but the adventure
some solitary attempt OF Lindbergh
forced the young Hers personality
into the picture and made his flight
Ia test wherein a young sportsman
staked everything in the race OF the
forebodings of experts. That ap-
realed to the popular fancy.
Everybody in washington pulled"
for Lindbergh steadily and hope
fully and as the day wore along,
confidently When the news OF his
arrival at Paris was flashed over
the city, there was a spontaneous,
/ fcity-Wide expression OF qualification,
and officials led by President Cool.
idge sent their congratulations and
praise speeding over the cables to
the daring aviator.
An airplane winged up from Boil
ing field, bearing streamers WlIcn
told the people that Lindbergl1 had
made a safe passage. Cheers went
up from crowds on the streets, auto
mobile horns were honked and the
city's workers went home glowing
with pride.
All through the messages OF con-
gratulations sent to France there
ran. however, a note OF sorrow over
The failure of the Nurgesser-Coli
| flight and President Coolidge as we'll
as others. made sympathetic reference
| tc the French fllers in their cable
| grams.
| To Washington the day was one
of suspense which recalled the pre-
armistice days. Thousands called
newspaper offices for information
icf Lindbergh's progress. Government
departments were abuzz with excite
me.lt, army and navy officers threw
their WIlo.a souls into the job OF
furnishing the flier with moral sup
port Not much else was talked
about at the capital, : nd from the
attitude Of the people en- the street,
little would have been needed 10
send the city into one OF its infre-
CUNT, inlpromptu celebrations.
Not great deal of consideration
twas given to the practical value Of
IIindbergh's feat in further1ng COM
rnercial aviation. That will be fig
ured out later. The thing today was
that this young man had flown alone
from New York to Paris without a
stop and that was a feat never be-
fore performed and one winch had
been accomplished almost as casually
as though the aviator had been
flying over his old mail route.

FLOOD RELIEF.
FAIR, FIESTA
IS A SUCCESS.
Hundreds of Dollars Clear
ed by Aqua Prieta So
ciety Folks.
QUEEN CHOSEN
Advance Ticket Sales Was
One of Chief Sources of
Revenue.

Patronized by joi1y, merrynlaking
crowd until a late hour last night, the
fair at the Club Sociale, Aqua Prieta,
sponsored by the leading men and
women of Aqua Prieta and northern
Sonora, netted several hundred dollars
for the flood relief fund Exact figures
were not available at press time, but
Ignacio Soto, chairman of the general
committee, announced that the fair
and fiesta had netted considerable
money
Ablaze with many -colored lights, the
Club Sociale was the most prominent
building in Aqua Prieta last night. The
yard of the club had been cleared and
Illuminated with strings of lights. Un-
der these tables had been set for those
who wished to enjoy lunches under the
open sky
Parking space was at a premium
about the several blocks near the scene
of the nerrymaking Cars from Bisbee,
Naco, Tombstone, Wilcox and Douglas
were among those noticed.
Senorita Anita Varela was elected
queen of the fair with a grand total of
10000 votes. Excitement during the
last five minutes previous to an
nouncing the winner was intense. The
closest race was between SenOrlta
Varela and Senorita Carmelita Gabi-
londo. The latter lost by a small
margin.
Ignacio Soto stood on a table and
acted as announcer during the last
few minutes of the time allotted for the
final count of votes for the queen.
Announcement of the winner was tbs
signal for hearty and prolonged ap-
plause from the hundreds of dancers
that jammed the ballroom. Senorita
Varela then stepped upon the table to
be crowned queen of the fair. Soto
placed a garland of flowers about her
head as token of the honor bestowed
upon her. Senorita Varela is pure
Castilian type of brtnett beauty and
looked every inch a queen as she wore
her temporary crown of flowers
Others who we're strong competitors
in the contest for the honor of being
queen were Lochita Ruiz, Carmelita
Gabilondo, Conchita BallWeg, Winni-
fred Paul, Eva Corey and Mercedes
F'ruente
A Snappy orchestra from Bisbee fur
niShed music for the evening of fes
tivities Many compliments were heard
concerning the music. The ball room
had been especially recorated for the
occasion, and the entire building and
grounds were beautifully lighted.
Among those present we're many of the
most prominent men and women from
both sides of the international line.
The fair and fiesta last night at the
Club Sociale closed an intensive cam
paign of activity on the part of the
prominent men and women of Aqua
Prieta and northern Sonora to raise
funds for the Mississippi valley flood
sufferers.
The only point in which the COM
mittee was disappointed was the CO..
paratively email attendance from the
American side of the line, it was re-
ported.
Figures of exact sums taken in at the
fair and from ticket sales will be
printed when available. Members OF
the various committees in charge OF

.FLIER'S MOTHER
RECEIVES News
WITH JOY TEARS
Relieved That Son Had Ar
rived Safely at End Of
Daring Trip

DETROIT, May 81. up =. Through
tears of joy, Mrs. Evangeline Lodge
Lindbergh, Spartan mother of an in
trepid son, tonight expressed her re-
lief that her boy, Captain Charles
Lindbergh, had arrived, safely at the
end of his daring flight from New
York to Paris.
Mrs. Lindbergh plainly showed she
had been under great strain, but her
nerves did not give way.
That's all that matters" she said
through tears that for the moment
she could not restrain, when told he
had brought his big plane safely to
earth at LIE Bourget flying field,
France. @
Determined to have no share in
the publicity that came to the youth
full argonaut of the air, and to say
nothing that would disturb or dis
tract him while he prepared for his
great adventure, Mrs. Lindbergh had
observed a rigid silence since he
hoped from the Pacific to the At
lantic coast. A brief statement that
she had every confidence in his
ability to make the flight was all she
permitted herself to say.
The epochal flight completed, how
ever, she indicated for a moment
that her confidence may have wav-
cred after the take-off yesterday
morning. 'How would anyone be
confident?" she replied to question.
The brave mother then added:
st knew if it we're possible for any
pilot, given a good machoine, to make
the flight, that he would"
Her son had been called ''The Fly
ing, Fool" but Mrs. Lindbergh made
