There Is much sentiment in Ameri-
can comments in the feats Of Col. and
Mrs. Charles A. Lndbergh in crossing
the North and South Atlantic and
exploring wild regions Of South Amer
lea. Precision and sureness in flight
arouse admiration, while the founda-
tions Of the Lindbergh skill in devotion
to their work are held up as examples
to others who would succeed. Mrs.
Lindpergh's share In the event Is linked
with her distinction as the first woman
to fly the South Atlantic.
"They have carried on in a manner
that can only be described as mag
nificent," declares the Jersey City
Journal, with the query: who can
measure the good Of the great example
of clean living and glorious achieve
ment Of this young couple, beloved Of
their home land and Of its neighbors
about the seven seas?" With a tribute
ton, that paper concludes: "Let the
man who is glad to close his desk at
night and go home to read his favorite
books. or see his favorfte movie actress,
refrain from envying the success of
such men as Lndy. Their success was
dearly bought. They must because of
the overwhelming urge within them.

they may be able to afford pleasures
and diversions Although variety may
be the spice Of life, it Is not the way
to success"
Observing an adorable couple" the
Danbury News-Times calls Col Lind
bergh "the greatest flyer Of all time,
the flyer who Is as sure as bird" and
adds that "his wife Is the true mate OF
a flyer" Acclaiming his triumph Of
the air." the News-Times continues:
I'VE see here another ideal. Was not
Mrs. Lindbergh, operating the wireless
in the colonel's plane, more truly at

sands of miles away wondering when
the man of her choice would land again
in America? Shall we call this flight,
among other things, triumph for the
American home? Shall we think of it
as one expression of a successful mar

the term applied to the colonel by the
Charleston Evening Post, while the Oak

ablest flyers In the world" Their con-

by the perils and splendor inseparable
from it."
