Advance of Aviation in U. S.
Had Its Starting Point
In Unknown Pilots Feat

NEW YORK, May 20 U.N.S0.
Three years ago today Lindbergh
went and done it.
Since the time the little known
airmail flier streaked his name
across the sky from New York to
Paris, he has become as well
known as the White House.
The decorations which he may
hand dowr to his grandchildren
would fill tri-notored plane.
Today, Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh is the first American avia-
tor, holds the record for interna-
tional air mileage. and sits and
flys with the great Of the world.
Unknown in 1927
But in the early dawn Of May
20, 1927, he was just young,
blonde mail pilot tinkering over
his plane, "The Spirit of st.
Louis" at Curtiss Field.
Those careful preparations were
noted but not stressed by observ-
ers. For there we're famous
pilots at the field waiting for the
grand adventure.
No individual performance
since the swimming of the
Hellespont attracted such inter
national attention. The eyes of
all nations followed the air trail
blazed by the lone American bird
man from hour to hour.
And when Lindbergh arrived at
LIE Bourget Field in the shadow of
the lights of Paris, the world
shouted its acclaim.
The flying of the Atlantic by
this slim Western youth made
America air-conscious. American
aviation leaped forward.
Unlike many supef-heroes Of his
tory, Lindbergh did not rest on
his first dramatic accomplish
ment. In a scarcely less striking
aerial odyssey, Lindbergh flew
from Washington to Mexico City
in December of 1928. Later he
made a goodwill flight to South
America. Recently he established
, a new tranScontinental speed rec
ord.
Aviation Stimulated
In his work as technical advisor
to commercial transport COM
ranies he has stimulated the prac-
aical side of aviation.
Appropriately enough, the col
onel met his bride on one of his
flying expeditions. In Mexico
| City, as the guest Of Ambassador
Dwight w. Morrow, he sat next to
Miss Anne Morrow, daughter of
his host, at banquet.
'Lindy" began courting Miss
Morrow in aerial fashion. He
commuted by plane frequently to
the Mexican capital. He took
her on numerous flights. Noon

They were married quietly on

Bedouins Prize Camel
Above All Possessions

A camel is considered worth more
than a wife to Bedouins. Their in
comes, sometimes their lives, depend
upon their camels. A camel which
can travel without food or water for
ten or twelve days is valuable indeed.
But some will do so for fifteen or
even twenty days. The saddles for
these priced beasts are the finest that
money can buy. A man who has four
or five camels is considered well-to-do.
One who has fifty is considered
wealthy. He has many servants, and
lives on the income of his camels.
The rivalry between chieftains who
have 500 or 600 camels is just as in
tense as it often was among the cat
tie barons of the West. Sometimes
one of the shieks will hire Bedouin
bandits to steal another's camels and
start feud that lasts for years.
Camels eat thorny weed called
gayan. The weed is SO dry that it is
used to start fires. The root is filled
with a resinous fluid that yields al
most pure glue. Some of the best glue
in the world is made from it.

Visiting Days Unknown
to Men of Coast Guard

A lonely vigil is kept by coast
guard and lighthouse crews at Big
Sable point north of Ludington, Mich.
They live in complete isolation the
year round. Finding of coins and
other antiques by different members
of the crew indicates that the point
was visited by explorers. Three
years ago a large canoe was I'M
earthed but was washed away before
crews could rescue it. Recently AL
bert Howard, in charge of the coast
guard station, found an ancient Span
ish coin in the sands near the beach.
1t bore the date of 1871, and was
picked up only ten miles south of the
point where Pere Marquette died on

bits of bright calico patched together

an inch larger all around than the as
