The forty 'levcn wooden shoes an
floated 70 shore and the three rab-

The Dutch boys and girls began to
pick out their shoes, though how
they could tell them apart was more
than Uncle Wiggily could say. And
then, all of sudden, down bill
toward the water came rolling some
queer, round, red things.
"Oh, the Fox is rolling red can

A TIP FOR LINDY

Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh isn't long on taking
advice If he were probably wouldn't have tried to
fly to Paris in the first place.
Nevertheless, here is little for him.
The colonel finds it hard to understand at times,
why he remains such object of interest to neWspa-
per reporters He can't why all of his comings and
goings have much publicity; why he can't
little arplane trip without seeing headlines blaze
up in all the newspapers and arousng of
public attention.
The answer is relatively simple
If he would shun the reporters less thev would
pay less attention to him.
That sounds paradoXcal, but it is true.
Lindbergh visits some city-lets say Boston, for
example After finishing his business he goes the
airport trundles out his plane and starts off Being
modest young man. he says as little possible about
It, often not he gets away before the reporters
fairly realize he has arrived.
Accordingly, his trips take a mysterious air
that draws more public attention to them than they
otherwise would get. If Lndbergh would simply say,
eyes, flew here to Major So-and-so, and now Pm
going to fly back to New York to confer with Mr. This
andthat, nobody would pay great deal of attention.
But the semi-secrecy of his movements-oorn of
out of his highly commendable modesty-draws
the very lmeght he is trying to dodge Lndbergh
making routine flight from Boston to New York is
thing; and Lindbergh mysteriousy taking off from
Boston for an unannounced destination is quite anoth
Unfortunately he'll never be able to have the pri-
vacy he wants. He is, for better for worse public
character now But he could make the newspapers
pay considerably less attention him if he did not
