It is to be hoped the legislature will not decide that civilization in Michigan needs the help of a hangman, or a ! man to throw the switch on an elec- $12.50 trie chair. What is the ideal child, in your opin ion? Secretary Hoover, president of the American Child Health associa tion, says the normal child. - “Is not superfluously happy or deepiy discour aged. is robust, vociferous, not ruled by emotions.” That is a good defini tion of a child destined to develop into a go-getter. On the other hand. Napoleon, who told all the adult children of Europe what they should do, was not vocifer ous or robust. He was sickly, sallow, sulked in a corner because his school mates laughed at his Corsican accent, and was entirelv ruled bv his one emo tion, AMBITION. Paris, May 21.—Captain Charles A. Lindbergh, the young American avia tor, who hopped off from New York yesterday morning all alone in his monoplane, arrived in Paris tonight, safe and sound, as everyone hoped he would, The s^K-haired son of the Middle West down out of the dark ness at B°J ir ? et flying field, a few miles from Paris, at 10:21 o’clock (4d21 p. m.rEastem time), only 33 1-2 hours after leaving Long Island—the first man in history to go from New York to Paris without changing his scat. To the young American it was seem ingly merely the achievement of an ambition. To Paris, to France, to America, to the world, his landing to night made him the greatest of heroes mankind has produced since the air became a means of travel. A crowd of at least 25,000 surround ed his plane, the “Spirit of St. Louis, 1 * when it came to earth after its epochal voyage from the New World to the Old. The airman was lifted from the seat, where for two days and a night he sat fixed, guiding his plane over land and sea, and for 40 minutes he was hardly able to talk or do any thing else, except let himself he car ried along by a mass of men made delirious with joy at his achievement. Never has an aviator of any nation, even king or ruler, had a greater oi more spontaneous welcome from the heart of the common people of France. The very recklessness of his endeavor. roll, the propeller had barely come to a stop, when Lindbergh, weary-eyed,* but smliing, got up from the seat where he had so long sat, and in a casual voice, almost drowned by the cheers of thousands, said with charm-N guarantee of -good faith in the bid- Notice is hereby given that the County Treasurer and Supervisor of Laurens County, S. C., will receive sealed bids up to 11 o’clock, A. M., May 31st, 1927, for an issue of notes aggregating $140,000 in denomina tions of $1,000 each, dated August 1, 1927.

So was his. other leg r .as soon as he could get it out of the machine. Holding him high and cheering him, with cheers that came from the heart, as well as the lungs, the crowd took him to itself. The police did their best to get the young hero and save him from, those to whom he had become a friend, a jhero, a sportsman to admire forever, but they were helpless against the common impulse.

For half an hour they pushed one another this way and that, trying to take young Lindbergh from his plane to the administration buildings on the landing fielrf, where noted men of his own country and of France had long been waiting to welcome him with due formality.

Europe should also blame itself for allowing 20,000.000 pairs of hands to remain idle. A good farmer keeps his horses and oxen working, a good industrialist keeps his machines busy. Europe needs canals, roads, houses, and it should be possible to find work for all. That would be easy if men could get away from the idea that the only emotional imagination of Frenchmen, and they were quick to respond with everything their own hearts could give. All ties of natoinalism were forgot- en by the Le Bourget throng. They .-aw in Lindbergh only a man who had by France, Frenchmen Myron T. Herick, and of high position. But Lindbergh was too weary seem ingly to know what it was all about. He smiled and said: “Thank you. I am awfully happy,” won. There was regret, of course, for Nungesser and Coli. and regret, too, that the daring Frenchmen had not been the first. But there was no bit- terr.ess in their greeting of the Amer ican winner. It was the common people of France brilliantly gambled with death, and and then his fatigue could be fought off no longer and he seemed to go to sleep standing there on his feet.

Nobody could guess within a thousand billions. For instance, Mr. Bonfils. through his Denver Post, announces discovery in Colorado of a bed of manganese, by . far the richest in the world, six million *tons of it are in sight. How many more billions are hidden ■away in the mountains that stretch across and up and down this country, I feebly tapped here and there by pros pectors, but never really prospected.

Police 1 ines were swept aside as thousands surged over the field to welcome the man who had had earned im mortal fame. “There he is,” the cry went up as the rays of the searchlights gleamed upon the monoplane gracefully de scending from the darkness which had ?nveloped all and through which only the sound of the motor gave warning of his approach. At this instant the crowds began their race across the field. Smoothly the airplane, the “Spirit of St. Louis,” glided down upon the lighted ground. Even before it had come to a pause a hundred hands caught hold of the wings, and scores of feet were trampling upon one an other in an effort to reach the side of the fuselage, within which sat a young man who all alone had succeeded in flying from New York to Paris with out a stop. - The wheels had scarcely ceased to Incidentally, the British admit that beginning in 1932 they will be getting frem their European debtors, recently railed “gallant Allies,” more than enough to cover all payments to the United States.

But the crowd had to be disappointed—Lindbergh could do no more. The American ambassador came* to the balcony and waved the aviator’s helmet at the crowd, which kept shout ing: “The pilot—the pilot, let us see Lindbergh.” Lindbergh, asleep on his feet, was lifted up and carried to an automobile and hurried to Paris, a few miles away, to sleep after so many hours when even to close his eyes fol_a mo ment might have meant death.
