By COL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH.

MERICA has found its wings,
n has awakened to the realization
II that it can ny,
n This realization has come so
quickly that the long process OF
learning to fly has been forgotten. the
technical development of the airplane
has been so unnoticed that the labor
of wears seemed to reach its fruition
almost overnight.
Forty years ago a man named Lillen-
thai watched the washing hung out on
a clothes line. He noticed that the
tablecloths and sheets and other nor
mallv fat pieces lifted in strong
breeze above the horizontal position
which II would be natural to suppose
they would assume when blown out by
the wind. Then he noticed that the
cloth had been curved by the wind ana
discovered. logically, that a curved sur
face lifts.
This was the beginning Of the air
plane--the result of the knowledge Lii
ienthal gained by patient observation OF
such things as washing and the wings
of birds. He learned that a curved sur
face with thick leading edge like that
of a bird lifted better than one with a
thin edge, although he did not know
WHY this was the case. Now We know
1t is due to the greater vacuum pro-
duced above the wing.
Romance of the Airpiane.
There is no greater romance than the
development Of the airplane and 1t Is
pity that the recent flights which
have done so much to extend its use
have dimmed little the less spectacu-
lar achievements of men who began this
evolution by patient experiments. Many
of them lost their lives Lilienthai
himself was the first man to die in at
tempting flight in a heavier-than-atr
machine.
The airplane has now become vital
part of our life. Its potentialities are
even greater than we realize. We have
planes carrying IL passengers at i20
miles an hour. planes that transport the
mail swiftly through the night and
storm with remarkable fidelity to sched-
ules. We have planes which climb
seven miles into the air and can fight
at a speed and altitude that we're i'm
possible only few years ago.
Swift as the development Of the air
plane has been In the last 90 years

carrying Louis Bleriot. few 81 miles
across the English Channel. The flight
made him instantly famous, for 1t
seemed foolhardy. dangerous thing to
attempt was only Z years old at
the time In the brief period that has
elapsed since, the ocean has been flown
several times and only few weeks ago
an airplane carrying four men new
5000 miles over water, from Honolulu
to the Fiji Islands,
Bleriot's flight was made at speed
OF 40 miles an hour. The fight over
the Pacific was at speed of nearly 100
miles an hour. The first plane to cross
the Channel was little thing Of indif-
ferent construction, SO light that one
man could pick up the tail OF 1t In his
hands and trundie 1t about, The other
weighed nearly tons. was built
partly of steel, had radio set with
which to communicate with the world
and three powerful motors. which, url-
der fortunate conditions, could be de-
pended upon to keep running as long
as the fuel lasted. Latham. who made
the first attempt to ny the Channel,
came down In the water only few
miles out because his motor quit.

Tom Heenev
Gets Verdict
Over Delaney
CoIorfuI French Canadian
SCrapper Upset in 15-
Round Bout.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press StaG Correspondent

NEW YORK, March Jack De
laney today was completely elimi-
mated as possible opponent for
Gene Tunney at Yankee Stadium
June H. On the verge of getting
the first chance at the heavyweight
title this summer, the colorful
trench-Canadian stumbled over
Tom Heeney in another disappoint-
ing heavyweight elimination bout
last night at Madison Square Gar
Gen and TODAY was back at the foot
OF a sorry group o. heavyweight
contenders.
After fifteen rounds of Juggling
and clinching and pushing, Heeney
was awarded the decision. Heeney
won by only the slinmest of mar
gins, but it was enough to remove
Delaney as a serious threat for
heavyweight honors.
AS Tor the courageous IriShman.
he may upset all calculations and by
the stint of his hard work and re-
lentless attack, force himself into a
title bout with Tunney. Picked to
crumble before Jack Sharkey and
Jack Delaney, Richards two leading
heavyweight contenders, Heeney has
upset all of TeXs plans.
Ills showing against Delaney was
more than a shock to most of the
1900 persons who expected the de-
bonair Delaney to batter down Hec-
ney's defense. and if not win by
KNOCKOUT win decisively. Instead,
Heeney's short club-like rights and
lefls to the body and heart upset
Jacks plans.
Delaney's dangerous right hanQ
was useless TO him and he landed
less than half a dozen clean punches
with it, Heeney kept his head
hunched IN his shoulders and his
left arm constantly on guard for
Jacks lightning right. 1t was per
feet defense. and robbed Delaney OF
his most valuable offensive weapon.
Delaney threw all Of his power
into his left jabs. hooks, uppercuts
and swings, but they did not phase
the rugged Irishman. Heeney fails
to become enthused over a shot for
the title.
I'D like chance at the champ,
Just to see what I could do"
