 Convention Arguments

Lone EagIe Made Great Flight, But
 He's Done Better

NEW YORK, May 21-One year ago yesterday Charles A. Lind bergh took off from New York on nonstop flight to Paris. The story of that odyssey $ history. known now to every schoolboy.
 Yet in distance ccvered-3. .625 miles in 33h although it is still the longest nonstop flight ever made by single aviator, it ranks among the smaller items ill an amazing total of 50,000 miles flown by the Lone Eagle in the last twelve months.
 Lindbergh has spent the year flying at an average rate of 140 miles day, and most of his mileage has been rolled up in be- half of aviation and international goodwill.
 Almost half the distance flown by Lindbergh since he set out on the adventure which had its first anniversary yesterday was GOV cred in the three-month country wide air tour which he began last July 19--a tour which carried him for 22.350 miles, to every state in the nation and to S2 cities, in 260 flying hours and with but single delay, occasioned by an impass- able fog in Maine.

 Presents and Medals
 But Not Git of Cab'
By BRIAN BELL Associated Press Staff Writer, who covered Lindbergh's
 takeoff for Paris)

NEW YORK, May. 21-Col. Charles A. Lindbergh has receiv- ed many presents in a loaded year, among them promotion from captain to colonel and trunkful of medals, but gift of gab" was not among them.
 He was a man of few words when he flew away to Paris a year ago, and year later he is a man of even fewer words, if such a thing be possible.
 When "Slim" Lindbergh of the air mail dropped out of the sky at Curtiss Field on May 12, 1927, two days out of San Diego with a stop at St. Louis, he was sur by a score of reporters as soon as he stepped from the Spirit of St. Louis," then known to fame only as the craft that had brought it's pilot across the con tinent in record breaking time and to New York seven hours be- fore he was expected.
 The reporters gathered about Lindbergh and asked him at least 100 questions.
 He answered most of them, us- ing not more than 300 words for the lot. One word was enough for most of them. two at intervals and rarely three.

Washington.
 The greatest epic in the worlds aeronautical history was written one year ago yes terday when Charles Lind bergh, an all but unknown mail pilot, set out upon the most daring travel venture in the recollection of mankind.
 To him should go the title of a great educator. No other man has been able to ap- proach even remotely his sue cess in impressing our people with the necessity for sup porting comprehensive air program. Certainly the grati- flying progress of the past year is a substantial tribute to his sincere and earnest endeayors to place the United States in its rightful position in the lead of all others.

We then asked our selves the value of this stu pendous accomplishment. Now he has given us the answer. In twelve months of a'elost continuous flight throughout the Western Hemisphere he has fixed the eyes of the world upon the safety of air travel. A year ago his At lantic flight was a great ad- venture. Today it is the sym bol of a vast stride by Ameri- can science. Such is leader ship; such is the Spirit of America.

BUY FROM LOCAL STORES

The housewife usually regards the peddler who
comes to her door as nuisance. But half the time
she encourages him by the upside-down process of
'buying something to get rid of him.. She finds it
easier in the individual instance, to buy package OF
bad needles a rubber apron which turns cut to be
second than it is to listen to stream of talk and
force herself to argument as to why she should not
buy.
Yet if all the housewives of Nogales were to unite
in refusal to buy of the itnerant salesman for year,
they would find themselves eft long before the year
was out in peace and quiet to attend to their home
duties without interruption and to do their market
ing according TO their own good judgement.
In one prosperous small city often v.ctmlzed by
this type of person. the merchants got together and
issued a statement which may we'll be needed here:
Numerous complaints are being received from
Housewives who report that they have lost money
through purchasing merchandise from unknown
houseto-house peddlers. Professional swinders who
go from city to city have vict mized thousands of
housewives Merchandise is misrepresented and, if
delivered, is often inferior to samples shown. Ad-
vance payments are sometimes collected, the pedder
van;shes and the merchandise is received. In
vestigate before you buy invest
'Your responsible local merchants support all
civic and public enterprises, pay taxes for the ctys
development and support, and give employment to
thousands of home-tow people. You always
