bergh first began to think about
making a nonstop flight across the
Atlantic. Parachute jumping no
longer thrilled him, for he had four
jumps from falling planes to his
credit, which makes him member
of the Caterpillar Club" an organi-
cation of flyers who have been
forced to abandon their planes in
mid-air.
Cross country and nonstop flights
had captured his imagination and
Lindbergh decided he, too, would
like to do what no other man ever
had dared before. 1t was just about
this time that a nonstop New
York-Paris flight began to be talked
and "Slim" decided he was going
to Paris.
He had attained a captaincy in
the Missouri National Guard, many
influential st. Louis citizens were
his friends and he had interested
them in aviation. Lindbergh con-
fided his ambition to Harold Bixby
president of the st. Louis Chamber
of Commerce and a flying en-
thusiast.
Bixby, impressed by Lindbergh's
earnestness, and what he knew of
his skill as a pilot, succeeded in
interesting a group of young
successful business men in the pro-
ject. Funds were raised, and Lind
bergh went east to select his plane
Goes to San Diego.
While there he became favorably
impressed with a Ryan monoplane
and departed for San Diego, Calf,
to talk with B. F. Mahoney, youth
full president of the Ryan Air Lines.
Still another young man, Donald
Hall, 27-year-old engineer of the
Ryan company, designed the plane
which Lindbergh flew across the
Atlantic.
"Slim's" only obstacle in getting
back for his undertaking in st.
Louis came when he insisted upon
flying alone. But his enthusiasm
and confidence in himself was con-

tagious and he succeeded in CON
vincing his hackers that he could
make the trip without navigator.
From the outset, Mrs. Lindbergh
says her son was satisfied with his
ship" The excitement attending
his jump to Paris has obscured
the fact that "Slim" established
two records in his trip across the
United States. He was the first
pilot to fly so great distance alone
and the plane brought him from
San Diego to New York in the
quickest actual flying time ever
made fl coast to coast
What will Lindbergh do now?"
is the question everyone is asking
today. With the world at his feet
will he quit aviation and cash in on
the fortune which awaits him?
"He'l Never Quit Friends Say.
His friends are convinced that
Charles never will quit flying.
Capt. Eugene Stevens, who lived
in the same barracks at San
Antonio, when they both were fly
ing cadets at Brooks-Kelly govern
merit flying school, says, 'iSlim
will never quit flying. He just must
fly-it's as vital to him as the air
he breathes. All this tribute being
paid him doesn't mean anything
to the 'Swede' He didn't make the
flight for money or fame. If some
one had said to him, 'Swede, bet
you can't fly from New York to
Paris his answer probably would
have been, You fill up my plane
with gas and I'll show you if l
can't
He made that flight for the love
of flying and for the advancement
of aviation, not for personal glory
This same faith in the ability of
"Slim" to remain unspoiled by the
plaudits of the crowd and the
tempting financial offers which are
being dangled before him is held
by his mother.

mother about the enormous offers

in an airplane, was the outstand-

Kelly government aviation school

no difficulty in getting a job after
his graduation. He went to work

spider in his paper and wanted
to know if it meant good or

Mark replied:
"Old Subscriber: Finding

A BALLAD

Oh, Captain Gold was a pirate bold
Asail to the Spanish Main;
The tale of him many times been
How he sailed through the wind and
rain.
On the calmest seas, in the lightest
breeze
His galleon would quietly roll;
But the sea would many a time near
seize
His ship, as its deadly toll.
Off Caracas height in a gale one
night
A galleon helpless lay;
The wind was a cold one with deadly
And this ship it did sorely flay.
She'd filled her hold with the finest
gold,
They say she was sorely tasked;
Then in his galleon came Captain Cold
And, though he was never asked.
'Tis known SO well that the galleon
In the deep that winters night;
And the gold, so the sailors solemnly
tell
Was sealed in the hold so tight.
Of the galleon staunch that pirate
launched,
AS a terror Of the deep;
But it's long been buried in Oceans

While DER it the sea things creep.
