.L|NDDERGH HEADS
FOR MEXICO CITY
Colonel viii Visit Sweetheart,
He Admits, After Mys-
teriouS Flight.
BY the Associated Press.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, February 49,
Romance would not be denied tonight.
A flyer whom the world loves to call
its very own sped into the night under
starry skies, bound for old Mexico to
visit his sweetheart.
Suspicious which Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh left behind when he took of
from Abilene, Tex, this afternoon after
declining to write his destination in the
airport registry were verified when he
landed at Eagle Pass on the Texas
Mexico border tonight and announced
that he was en- route to Mexico City.
He landed at 7:35 pm. and said he
would take OF at daybreak tomorrow
for the Mexican capital.
Silent as to Marriage.
When asked If he intended to marry
his fiancee, Miss Anne Morrow, while
on this trip Lindbergh preserved stony
silence.
The first definite grounds for sus-
pecting that Lindbergh was to lay aside
his role of route inspector for his COM
pany, National Air Transport, Inc, for
that of a Lochinvar of the air, were
discovered at Abilene this afternoon,
when. after failing to record his des-
tination, he headed his plane south
ward instead of in westerly direction.
Airport officials at Van Nuys, Calf,
previously had announced receipt of a
telegram from him which stated he pro-
posed TO land there tonight.
But those following "Lindy's" flight
were wary, for there always is mystery
in Lindbergh adventure. Despite the
fact that nothing was known of Lind
berghs plans, more than 100 persons
were on hand for his landing in Eagle
Pass.
Since the time Col. Lindbergh left
the East on flights westward several
days ago ostensibly to inspect depotS of
his company, the public had little diff
f1cuity in conjuring forth the picture Of
"Lindy" skimming through the air into
Latin skies bound for the home of his
sweetheart in the Mexican capital-a
theme to grip not only the lovelorn, but
all who love romance.
Is Delayed by Headwind.
After being shown to a hotel, Lind
bergh made arrangements to obtain a
passport to Mexico. He then retired to
his room and asked not to be disturbed
until morning.
Leaving Abilene at 2:45 pm. Lind
bergh required four and half hours to
NY the 800 air miles here A strong
headwind held him to so miles an hour
much OF the time, he said.

GARDEN INTERESTS
WOULD BUY GIANTS
Offer of $4,000, 600 for Ball
Club and Polo Grounds
Is Reported.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 23.-There
were well authenticated reports today
that the Madison Square Garden Cor
poration had made $4,000, 900 offer for
the New York Giants Base Ball Club.
The deal, which apparently has a good
chance of going through, would give the
Garden control of the Polo Grounds
and the big ball park would be turned
into an outdoor arena for boxing bouts
and other athletic exhibitions.
If the deal goes through, John Nc
Graw, Charles A. Stoneham and Francis
S. McQuade, who together hold some
IS per cent of the stock, will give up
their controlling interest and the Garden
will receive the lease of the Polo
Grounds, which has Is years to run,
the clubs franchise and its players.
The other stockholder In the Giants.
William F. Kenney, recently purchased
his interest.
1t is understood that with the Polo
Grounds devoted to other sports, an ar
rangement would be made whereby
Giants home games would be played at
the Yankee Stadium. The Garden
management Is said to have q plan in
mind for putting roof over the Polo
Grounds.
Directors of the Garden will 60 into
the entire matter Immediately upon the
return OF william r. Carey and his
aides from the Miami Beach fight which
they are now engaged In promoting.
The offer was made by Carey, acting
head Of the Garden, in q conference
with McGraw, manager of the Giants,
at Miami Beach last Saturday, it was
reported. McGraw came to New Nork
to discuss the matter with Stoneham,
president of the club. They are said to
be favorably inclined toward the propo-
Sition.
The proposed sale can be blocked by
McGraw, McQuade or Stoneham as the
three have an agreement whereby
unanimous consent is necessary before
control of the club can be disposed OF,
but the Garden interests are hopeful in
view Of the impression believed made by
their early overtures that favorable
decision will be reached. Stoneham and
McQuade have been on the outs since
the latter was ousted as treasurer of the
club some time ago.

Police Remain Silent.
Police were reticent and the veil was
still dropped over their Investigations

The entire police personnel OF the

Half dozen theories have been built
up in the interim and as many clues

cided brunette with clear complexion.
Are light or dark colors best for me?--
ANNE r.
Answer.-The average weight for your
age and height is between $50 and 154
pounds. 1 think that, if you lost about
10 pounds, your figure would be in bet
ter proportion. Choose neatly tailored
styles in dark or soft neutral colors.
Vivid or light colors make one seem
larger. Glossy fabrics have similar
effect. Avoid stiff, bulky materials and
instead choose soft, closely woven mate
rials with dull finish.
For general wear you might have a
dark blue crepe romaine frock with
skirt, composed Of three or four deep
tucks. shallow V-shaped neckline with
a jabot. A wrap-around skirt with
simple drape at one side would be
pretty also. A dark brown chiffon vel
vet with cream lace trimming and
slightly f1ared. two-tiered skirt with
close-fitting hips would be becoming.
You may also wear old blue, bronze
green, medium reseda, wine and henna
shades. I do not think that fluffy
box is suitable or becoming to woman
of your height and weight. A neatly
waved, long-hair couture would be bet
ter in my opinion. LOIS LEEDS.
