timbers. Little information was OBJ
tanned during the first few hours of

Francesca De Pinedo, was received so
enthusiastically by his fellow coun-
trymen here today that he declared:

at the station on his arrival by train
from Los Angeles, and from that mo-
ment the aviator was buster than
when plotting his Santa Maria over
oceans, jungles and deserts. Cheered,
bombarded with bouquets, banqueted
and invited all over the city, the
Italian birdman appeared most i'm
pressed by the smiles of the feminine
beauties who surrounded him. II

said. Your girls are very, very
pretty"
