Lindbergh was satisfied that it was
in good trim, despite the eXuberant
manhandling of the welcoming
crowd Saturday.

SLEET HIS
TROUBLE,
NOT SLEEP
Valiant Charlie Had to
Climb to 10000 Feet
to Escape 1t.

PARIS, May 23.-Lack of sleep
didn't bother valiant Charles Ling
bergh on his fight from New York
to Paris, but sleet provided plenty
of trouble, he told newspapermen.
The plane, with the pilots seat
sunk so low that periscopes alone
enabled him to see, Kept the wind
from blowing onto his face and thus
prevented slee?iacss. Lingbergh
said.
II encountered sleet in mid.At-
lantic." he said. "Sleet forming on
the front of the wings Of plane is
capable of forcing it down in a few
minutes, but when I~struck the
storm 1 was able to get above it
quickly"
He flew ten hours in continual
rain, sleet and fog, and had to ascend
to 10000 feet to get above it, he said.
Danger in Landing
zone of the greatest dangers ]
faced was in landing at lie Bourget
Field, when the crowd almost over
whelmed me-" he said.
Lindbergh paid high tribute to
Charles Nungesser and Francois
Coli. missing French avaitors.
THE Frenchmen's task was harder
than mine" he said. Conditions
flying westward are bad. whereas
everything was in my favor except
the sleet storm.
"Nungesser possibly hit similar
storm. Moreover. the weather was
terrible when he started. Airplanes
were down all over the eastern
United States.
Alight on Iceheld
"Nungessor also may have been
forced to alight on the ice fields of
North Newfoundland, in which case
he didn't have a chance in thous.
and.
II steered by dead reckoning be-
cause 1 had no hand to spare to use
a seXtant.< / used an earth induction
compass and made the Irish coast
within three miles of the place had
planned to arrive.
Lindbergh said he flew across
France by sight rather than by map.
II had studied the geography and
topography of the section" he said
land knew such features as the
Seine and the location of towns easy
to identify, I saw Paris far away,
had heard much Of the bright lights
of the city. and they guided me.
1.-THE landing field was well lighted
but 1 flew over it several times to
make sure it was lie Bourget, and
also to study suitable place to
drop, as l was afraid Of hitting the
crowd.
Gasoline Estimate
''I started with 451 gallons Of gaso.
line and used twelve gallons an
hour"
The rate of consumption for the
33-hour flight would mean a total
consumption of 396 gallons, leaving
fifty-five gallons. AS a matter OF
fact. fifty gallons remained. Lind
bergh's estimate was exceptionally
close. considering that he had not
measured the amount remaining.

The levee now holding back the

The permanent levee caved in first,

Won't Fly Back

isn't any reason to fly back row."
He said he intended to return soon

Most of the watchers were school
girls and debutantes who made scrap
book collections of newspaper ac-
counts of Lindbergh's arrival and
then brought the books to the en-
bassy hoping that they could get the
fiier's autograph.
Lindbergh likes Paris and has de-
veloped a weakness for French
pastry. He refused champagne and
even cigarettes. explaining that he
never smokes.
During the dinner at the American
embassy to which Ambassador Her
rick invited his personal staff and
their wives, Lindbergh undecidedly
examined a tray of French pastry.

planes in a hangar and rows of

LAYING THE FIRST STONE OF
THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO
RAILROAD

In field west of their brisk town,
the citizens of Baltimore gathered on
the Fourth Of July, 1928, to lay the
First Stone of their railroad to the
West, the charter for which had been
granted February %, 1927.
The ceremony was preceded by an
elaborate parade through the streets
of Baltimore and was followed in the
evening by fireworks and general re-
joicings. When the town folks repair
ed to their homes, it was as if the new
road We're to be finished and operated
almost on the morrow.
As matter Of recorded fact, twenty
five long years were to elapse before
its locomotives were first to reach
the banks Of the Ohio. Yet, in all
this time, faith was never lost in the
project. At no hour did Baltimore
fail to look forward to the completion
if its railroad.
Charles Carroll Of Carrollton, Bal
timore's leading citizen Of that day,
and in 1923 the only remaining signer
of American Independence, took a
leading part in the ceremony. At his
right hand stood Philip 4. Thomas,
the first president of the Baltimore
and Ohio. Mr.. Carroll turned the
ground with the spade before the
stone was laid and pronounced it to
lie "among the most important acts
Of my life, second only to my signing
the Declaration Of Independence, if
even it ne second to that"
The First Stone, carefully preserv-
ed by means Of handsome iron
fence, remains in the precise position
where it was laid July 4, 1928.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company are planning big celebra-
ton for 1928, and may let US ride for
a cent mile to Baltimore for while
during the celebration.
