gangling, open-faced, pink-cheeked

the west to Paris, popular references

A periscope Pilot
Lindbergh, whose six feet of zcst-
full personality might to the i'm
agination have just stepped out Of
the movies, is the first periscope
aviator yet reported.
From the cockpit of his one-seater
fnonoplane he can't see to the front.
In that direction from his wicker
chair there is to be seen only an
instrument board that looks like the
control center of great power
house or telephone exchange.
To look ahead, as for instance IN
landing, Lindbergh has to push the
cry. If the vision it affords is
limited--well, Lindbergh doesn't land
very often.
He made only one stop between
San Diego and New York, and in
tended to make none between New
York and Paris.
Lindhergh also denied reports that
there was a device about his plane
which controlled it automatically,
thus allowing him to sleep while en-
route.
II don't get sleepy. he explained.
His Heads q Compass

f.. McKenna, presiding, and the
changes were made. Shortly after,

defense contends that Splitter struck
the boy while trying to avoid run
ming down another boy.

was quoted as saying that Kehoe
recently had appeared mentally UNI
balanced due to mortgage falling
due which would have taken his
farm from him. Neighbors Of the
farmer quoted him as saying that the
school taxes were SO high he could
not make payment on the mortgage.
Kehoe's wife has been in a hospital

Parents Are Frantic
. Scenes throughout the town, which
has a population of only slightly
more than 300, and at the school
grounds, presented pictures of great
confusioH. Reverberations Of the
blast were heard in all parts of the
village and horror stricken parents
of the children began rush to the
building almost Immediately. Frantic
mothers attempted to push their way
into the ruins Of the building as
hastily recruited workers tried to dig
their way into the wreckage. Fathers
left their places of business and their
work and rushed to the scene.
A stifled cry or sob here and
there as the parents made their way
through the temporary morgue bore
evidence that the parents had found
the object Of their search.
Meanwhile the telephone operator
called surrounding towns to summon
assistance and procession of auto
mobiles bearing workers from two
automobile plants in Lansing dotted
the highway leading here.
As news of the disaster trickled
into the countryside, from which
many of the pupils came to the school
each day in buses, farmers and their
wives set out in haste for the vii
lage.
