Against this backdrop of the
roaring '20s an unknown mail pilot
and son of Congressman was to
evoke the biggest roar.
Charles A. Lindbergh was Is then.
a chief mail pilot and captain in
the Air Corps Reserve. He entered
the competition for the SIS. 1000
transatlantic prize put up by Ray
mond Orteig, and with funds sup
piled by st. Louis people, among
them E. Lansing Ray, publisher of
the G1obe-Democrat, Lindbergh
went out to a San Diego factory to
get his plane.
He flew it to st. Louis and then
to Roosevelt Field, Long Island, on
May IL. The cross-country trip was
made in 21 hours and 20 minutes, a
record for its day.
At 7::52 Friday morning, May 20,
Lindbergh took off for Paris in a
heavy mist. His plane had a wing
spread of 46 feet. fuselage % feet
long and maximum speed of 123
miles an hour.
The lone flyer had no radio and
all he took with him were two sand
wiehes, two canteens of water, two
chocolate bars, two flashlights, four
red flares, one air raft with pump,
five cans of Army emergency ra-
tions, two air cushions and one
hack-saw blade.
Guided by Beacons.
Up along the Atlantic Coast he
flew in fog and rain and before
morning, out over the Atlantic, his
ship was coated with sleet. BY mid
day Saturday he was flying over
Ireland and the bulletins were
flashed on movie screens back home.

Anniversary Of Lindbergh Flight Recalls Vibrant Era

NEW YORK.-One night 20 years
ago, it suddenly became so quiet
at the Sharkey- -Maloney fight in
the Yankee Stadium you could
almost hear flask drop.
The crowd of 10000 straw-hatted
men and short-skirted women stood
up and prayed.
The man they were praying for
was the same man about whom the
New York Times had 10000 anxious
telephone calls in II hours. He was
the same man 10000 Frenchmen
stood waiting for near Paris.
Finally, among the Frenchmen
studying the sky, some one heard
a motor. Some one fired rocket
flares. And 500 feet up, the glare
revealed the frail underbelly of the
Spirit Of st. Louis.
Very soon, millions Of thrilled
people were repeating, as though
they were catechisms, the salient
facts of Charles Augustus Lind
bergh's solo flight across the At
Iantic. He was the first to make
it alone and he did 1t in 33 hours,
% minutes. He won a $25, 900 prize
while his rivals waited in New York
for better weather.
Fitted the Mood Of the '20s.
Much has happened in the air
since then to obscure the impor-1
tance Of Lindberghs flight. Today
commercial airliners regularly make
the same trip In Il hours. But it
is doubtful whether any hero since
then has captured the imagination
of the world by single act the
way the slim, tall Lone Eagle" did
it 20 years ago this Wednesday.
Historians agree the sensation
Lindbergh made resulted from aI
combination OF the daring act itself

state Of Turkey did not have TO b
lahoriously created: its foundations
were already there, needing only Al
appropriate superstructure to b
raised.
This accounts for the extraordis
nary success Of the radical trans.
formations attempted by Mustapha
Kemal and his colleagues. with
little or no opposition. sweeping
changes such as the discarding o6
Oriental dress, the unveiling Of
women and the change from tho

by the Turkish people. The upshot
was the appearance Of . trus

Gated to peace. Resolutely turning
its back on the imperial past, mod
ern Turkey declared itself content
with what was indisputably Turkish,
seeking to establish friendly rela.
tions alike with the Christian
Balkan states and with the Arab
speaking regions, both Of which had
formerly been Ottoman provinces.
Firm supporter Of Peace.
The new Turkey thus became.
from the first, a firm upholder Of
peace and stability In Near and
Middle East which elsewhere was
so torn with clashing rivalries and
disputes. 1t Is that rare phe-
nomenon, a thoroughly "contented"
nation, seeking nothing from ltd
neighbors, limiting Its foreign poll
icy to the maintenance Of, its inde-
pendence and integrity. This pa
cific role was tested during World
War II, when Turkey successfully
maintained It's neutrality. resisting
the Establishments Of both sides.

Cut-Back Planned.
Yet, only a few months after its
staff and budget were doubled by
Congress under the Congressional
Reorganization Act, the reference
service seems due for trouble.
Some influential members of Con-
gress have been complaining about
the scholarly aides in this service
and move is afoot to trim it down.
First indication Of congressional
displeasure came early this month
when the House, after quiet prepa-
rations, suddenly established its own

of $4,000 is planned, as a starter,

CROTOLARIA. A SOIL
BUILDER

One of the best soil builders
for our poorer type sandy soils
is crotolaria. About ten pounds
of seed per acre planted in three
foot rows will give an excellent
green covering on most any of
our light soil. Excellent crops of
crotorlaria can be seen growing
on the farms of w. j. Cherry at
Willow Springs and w. o. Har-
dee at Good Hope. Real evidence
of crotolaria growing on poor soil
can be seen on State Highway II
ton of Myrtle Beach. The stuff is
just north of the business sec

loopers have invaded green fields

stripped the fields of all the
green leaves even down to bull
grass and crop grass. These in

ing with cryolite but the crop
busted cannot be used for hay
due to the poison residue left on
the crop. If at all practical cut
