jubilant over one victory-having
effected an increased reduction for

moved into another battle-ground
offered by the excise or nuisance

on automobile ssles, held the CEN

tory yesterday, caught Republicans
off guard and there remained con-
siderable uncertainty whether the
former will be able to hold the

The young hero OF the New York
to-Paris air epic decided the time

about 26 hours in the air. He took
his plane up at, 1929 y. m.
Lindbergh laid his plans quietly

to the world. Having no idea of
failure, he scorned parachute, as
he did on the solitary trip to
France.

He studied his charts, his ma
chine and the weather which he will
meet and then quickly told the war
