 In line with Col. Lindbergh's plans to stay abroad indefinitely, it was reported that he had his air. plane shipped on the same boat on which he sailed.
 It was learned at Roosevelt field that on last Thursday, Lindbergh went to the Long Island Aviation club, where the plane had been housed, advised club officials that he would not be using their facilities

CUNTS LIKE TO
 BREAK WINDOWS

Callander, Ont, Dec. 2S-(UP)-- The growing tendency of the Di- onne quintuplets to hurl their blocks, or anything else at hand through the windows of the Dafoe Hospital has resulted in Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe deciding to have shat ter-proof glass installed. he told the United Press today.
 The special glass will be put in while the babies sleep on the hos pital verandas. Dr. Dafoe said the work would be done soon after Christmas.
 For some time boards have been placed over the windows to protect the panes from the assaults of the quints, but the danger of cuts from falling glass. together with the in- creased difficulty Of keeping thu hospital warm during the winter \ unlooked-for ventilation is supplied by the babies-activities, resulted li the decision. pr. pafoe said.

VOLUME OF MAIL.
 HAS INCREASED
Far Ahead of Last Year Was Report of Post
 master C. A. Babin

Preliminary figures announced to- day by Postmaster Charles A. Babin show that the volume of mail being sent by Waterburiaris during the present Christmas season is far ahead of last year. The volume of parcel post mail had increased by approximately 13 per cent, up to and including the Fist; the figure represents 8 gain of more than 10,- 900 packages. Letter mail, also through the Fist, showed an in- crease of more than 100000 pieces.
 The postmaster said this morning that every effort would be made to have all mail which was in the post office tomorrow delivered in time for the holiday. There will be no deliveries on Wednesday, except for special delivery letters and packages.
 Corps of Special Workers
 An extra corps of special workers has been a0n duty at the post ofIice for the past week, aiding the reg ulaf crew in the handling of in- coming and outgoing man. Friday and Saturday of last week have been the peak days thus far at the post office, though early business today indicated that figures for those two days would be seriously challenged.
 In addition to the great increase in mail sent from this city, incom- ing mail for delivery here has also shown considerable jump. Regu- lar and extra carriers have been delivering huge quantities of mail during the past few days, and had more heavy loads today.
 Postmaster Babin said today that the post office had been aided con- siderably by those who did their Christmas stamp buying and their mailing early.
 Complete figures on Christmas business at post office will not be ready until next week. A consid- erable gain over 1884 is expected.

Fleeing From Threats of Kidnapers-They May
 Not Come Back

Copyright 1885 by United Press)
 New York, Dec. 23.-(UP)-Col Charles A. Lindbergh fled from America with his wife and three year old son, Jon, on the liner Importer at 2:53 a. m. Sunday, to establish 8 new home in England where he hopes to live quietly and assure his son the normal child hood that has been denied him in the United States. They sailed secretly from New York, having bought the exclusive passenger oc- cupancy of the combination pas senger and cargo vessel, which is due in England the last of the month.
 Threats Forced Them Out
 Threats against the life of Jon and the excitement attending the approaching execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, convicted murderer of their first son, impelled their decision to leave America, a close friend of the family said to- day.
 They May Never Return
 They may never return to this country, although the colonel does not intend to give up his American citizenship. The American Importer was scheduled to sail at midnight Saturday but was held up almost three hours for the Lindberghs. Off, ficials of the United States Lines re- fused to deny or affirm the Lind- berghs were aboard but the United Press learned from other sources that they were.
 Col. Lindbergh is determined that his son shall have the opportunity to grow up normally. In the United States there hung over the house. hold the ever-present fear that Jon might meet the same fate as the Lindberghs' first born, Charles Augustus, Jr.
 That fear was kept alive by a new wave of threatening letters and a recent incident in which an auto- mobile taking Jon and his nurse home from school was forced to the curb by another machine, whose oc-
