By COL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH

BY Wireless TO The Siai and New York Times
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. February 2
The distance between ST. Thomas and
San Juan. Porto Rico. is only about 80
miles. consequently ii was not necessary
to take of so early as on my flights
through South America.
In accordance with a request from
the Governor of the Virgin Islands !
few over the Island of st. Croix en-
route to Porto Rico. making total dis
tance of l6o miles.
Leaving 81 Thomas at ll;45 and
passing over two miniature islands OF
the West Indies. arrived at Christian
steu OF the Island of ST. Croix 80 min
utes later
The water around thesee islands Is
unusually clear and IL is possible TO see
a number Of fathoms below the surface
from an airplane at q low altitude.
There are many hidden reefs Just be-
low the surface In some PAGES whereas.
In others, according TO my chart. the
water Is several hundred fathoms deep
only few hundred feet OF shore.

There were numerous fishing boats
between the islands and / was never
out of sight OF one OF them during the
flight 10 Porto Rico.
After circIing Christiansted. few

This city Is distinguished by the well
preserved walls OF the old Spanish forts.

practically surround the city.
The field was perfeesay policed and
although thousands Of people lined 1t on
the landward side. perfect order was
maintained. Immediately after landing
I was greeted by Gov Towner. who had
invited me- 10 ne his guest on my visit.
My fight over these islands has i'm
pressed me greatly with the practica-
bility OF an air line between North and
South America over the islands OF the
West fndifs.
The distance between these islands are
50 small that on a fairly clear day one
Of them is always visible, even when
flying at low attitudes. In fact. the
greatest water gap would be only slight

Communication between them Is
rather SOW by the existing means Of
travel and. contrary 10 the usual situa-
ton, ! believe that even very short air
lines between the islands would be both
practicable and profitable.
In the United States our air lines
must compete with highly developed rail
transportation. The loss of few hours
due 10 fog would place the advantage In
favor Of the railroad
Conditions here are entirely different

There is, however, one uncon-
1rolled factor in the game which
has general definite effects on the
rate of the pulse and which makes
any scientific study difficult, that is
the emotional reaction, which varies
with every player. 1t is possible for
some to become so disturbed on the
course that the pulse rate is accel-
Grated tremendously

women golfers shows that women
golfers spend less energy on the

to indicate the exact merits of golf
in relationship to health.
The experiments we're carried out
on a series of different golf courses,
which offered ideal opportunity for
the test. in that they provided
courses of various lengths, some Of
which were hilly and we'll trapped,
others fat and with but few traps.
The major problem seemed to be
to find the reactions of the heart
and blood vessels to the game, and
at the same time to test its effects
or the kidneys.
The examinations made included
studies of the weight, height, pulse
rate and blood pressure under vari-
Gus circumstances, and also a special
test for the efficiency of the heart,
known as the Schneider test.
1t was found that vigorous prac-
vice and actual shots tend to accel-
crate the pulse rate and that casual
climbing of hills, heat and wind will
do the same.

Yosemite Saved

Economy. which for time threatened to cost us
much OF the beauty of Yosemite national park, has
been crcumvented by belated action in congress and
the generosity of anonymous citizens. The park will
be kept untouched.
Private lumber companies own large areas in this
and other national parks and recently threatened
to cut its timber from Yosemite lands There was no
way for the federal government to save the park
except by buying the land
At first congress refused funds for this Later it
provided small fund and authorized future expendi-
lures Private citizens have agreed to advance funds
to meet the emergency.
1t is fortunate indeed that Yosemite is to be
saved Beauty is too and precious thing to be
sacrificed wantony.' 1t is thing future budget
makers and law makers could not restore to us, once
