For In stance, where the Initial "A" occurs along with n notation. It menus that Anne Morrow, now Mrs. Lindbergh, accompanied him. The record, which was placed on exhibition on the sixth anniversary of Lindbergh's epochal tllght to 1'arls, go3s back beyond his first ride In tin airplane. Page after page, covered with the nnmes of cities visited by motorcycle or automobile, ultest the wanderlust which claimed him early. Occasionally o leg of the Journey Is sketched In a rudimentary map. Barnstorming Flights. Topping a six Inch stack of tiny loose leaf pages is the log, printed in the aviator's painstaking hand, of his tlrst traln'ng flights at Lincoln, Neb., and his 11)22 barnstorming flights as a wing walker and parachute Jumper. In that year, the lo^ shows he made 200 flights and 10 parachute Jumps. Numerous other Incidents relating to flying troubles and hazardous Jumps are recorded. The Spirit of St. Louis, In which New Open Champion Johnny Goodman of Omnha, the young amateur who captured the na tional open golf championship at the North Shore Clnlf club, Chicago, la here shown with the coveted trophy which he won. Lindbergh's flight from New York to I'arls wan made, had its own log all to Itself, beginning with the first teat at San Diego on April 28, 1027. The record shows It had flown 27 hours and 25 minutes before the flight to Purls. The .trans-Atlantic flight takes up only two lines of the log: "May 20. 1027, and May 21. 1027. New York to Purls. 33 hours 30 minutes. ** Every step In preparation and execu tion of the famous flight is revealed in the notebook. When he arrived In Paris, it seems he wanted to remem ber Just these things: "Arrange for care of plane. Arrange for guard, (tables. Arrange for clothes. Arrange for quarters." And then, as an after thought. "Postcards ? U. S." Havana to St. Louis. His greatest flight. In the opinion of aviators, was that from Havana to St. Louis, made In what meteorologists called the worst day he could have chosen In several months ? February 13, 1028. fie made It In 15 hours and 85 minutes. On the following day he creeted 00,000 school children assembled on the St. Louis levee and the log records, "Flew three hours over St. Louis." In those three hours perhaps he was saying farewell to his faithful partner In the unbeatable combination, "We," for the ship two months later ? April 30 ? to be exact, was flown from Lam bert field In St. Louis to Washington where it was placed on permanent exhibition at the Smithsonian Instltu Prize Offered Writer of Peace Hymn Words Boston. ? The League of Nations as sociation, with headquarters here, has selected the first sixteen bars of Bee thoven's Ninth Symphony as the tune for a new hymn of peace. Instead of the words set to the strain ns It appears In the Unitarian and Methodist hymn books, however, the association wants three verses that sing the glories of International amity. A prize and royalties are of fered for such verses In a contest open until September 1. Befriended Robins Returned to Woman Columbia, Pa. ? Two robin fledg lings, befriended by Mrs. Irvln Gulstwlte when they were desert ed by the mother robin a year ago, returned this year and nested on a window ledge of the Gulstwlte home In Cordelia, near here. The baby robins had been taken Into her home, fed and tamed until they responded ?u pet names. When they were old enough to fly they refused to leave the premises until cold weather. Uecently two grown robins came to the Gulstwlte home and figura tively knocked at the door. The housewife Insists the two birds are the same that she cured for last summer. ODD THINGS AND NEW?

BARRETT Influtlou In on, nnd we Blnceroly hope it Ih the wlHOSt course. Had the alternative method been chosen, thut of "lalsse/.-fnlre," which advocates a policy of "let well enough alone and all will end \V"ell In time," doubtless tin* financial disa s t e r would hnve been much greater. We are assured, how ever, that the meth od of Inflation is only temporary, that It will be con trolled, and ultl mutely we shall return to the gold standard. The economic recovery, while Im portant, Is not the only problem In volved. We should be more vitally concerned with the re-establishment within the heart of the people of those moral and spiritual qualities upon which the welfare of our coun try depends. It is a matter of very serious concern that our lost courage and confidence be regained. It Is only upon these two moral qualities that any return to prosperity can be estab lished. The disastrous effect of fear must also be completely eliminated If we are to have a permanent reversal <?f the economic trend of the last few years. Fear plays havoc with the psychic centers. Once give fear free reign and the very foundations not only of economic but all moral life are shattered. Fear destroys the ca pacity to reason and sends a man to his work more of a coward than a hero. Fear completely destroys both confidence and courage. More Insidious than anything else Is the tendency in every city and Til lage to depreciate the value of educa* tlon, especially In our public schools. Remembers Napoleon Horn in 1805. t.iis uged resident of Snnta Ann, (Jallf., Senora Martina de In Rosn, recalls Napoleon's conquests and other events far back In history. The one hundred nnd twenty-eight yenr old American has lived most of her life In Mexico. Where Ignorance abounds fear Is pres ent doing Its disastrous work. Very little serious attention has been given to this matter by those who are seek ing, by various and sundry methods, to end the depression. The education of our youth Is of vital Importance If we are to have a coming generation capable of directing the nffalrs of gov ernment. Some of the colleges are offering free tuition to unemployed young people. This Is very encourag ing nnd Indicates a full appreciation of the serious part education Is des tined to fill in molding our future destiny. On the other hand mnny high schools nnd grade schools are reduc ing hours of Instruction, cutting courses and. In some localities, not even pn.v Ing their teachers. l.et no person un derestimate for a moment the grnve Importance of the public Bchool In the future development of our American democracy. ?.

Those who are Intending to refur nish their piazzas can do it in either of two ways. They can buy new fur niture, or they can do over old pieces which are suitable to outdoor pur poses. The type of piazza largely de termines Its treatment. If It Is of the sun-parlor variety, It can be treated as a sunny room, without regard to the effect of the elements on the fur nishings, which however must be of porcb type. Upholstery will not suffer, neither will textiles nor cush ions. This type of veranda has de cided advantages In furnishing range. But it must not be so treated that It appears like an Indoor room, or Us character Is lost. It Is Intended for an out-of-doors room, one where fre* sweep of air Is permitted, and which Is excluded only when driving rain or coldnwould bar its use If It were not for the' protecting Inclosure. Open Piazza Furniture. ""The piazza which la reveled In by thoRe who want full freedom of the open air, may be minus even a roof. Or It' may be a semi-protected spot with shadowing roof or awning and screened In sides. Such a piazza re quires more careful treatment In the choice of comfortable furniture. There is the choice of different styles of furniture, each with lis in dividual appeal. Wrought Iron Is im pervious to weather. It Is a decided vogue. Its advantages are that It is easily dusted and kept clean. It with stands rain and sunshine alike, and In coats of paint can conform to any desired color treatment. It requires cushions for comfort In chairs, bu? these can be In raln-proof coverings, detachable and not cumbersome. U Is a bit unwise to expect rain-proof textiles to withstand severe down pours. Leather will, but this Is costly. So be good to rain-proofed materials, and they will give you the better service. Painted wood furniture Is another good choice. It Is much more deco rative thnn regulation porch furniture, and It withstands the elements as well. It can be left out safely on n roofed plazzn with or without screens. At night it Ih advls? hie to push back pieces and turn over the chairs and rest the hacks against the side of the house. In this position they will shed water should there he rain which could sweep In onto them. While cushions soften wood, they are not essential to comfort as In iron fur niture. Wicker, Grass, Fibre, Etc. Wicker, willow, grass, and tlber and canvas furniture conies In wide assort ment of pla/-za pieces. While ruin is not ruinous to tlber furniture It Is not advantageous, either. It holds water longer than wood or Iron, and Is not go Immediately useful after a drench ing rain. It Is used to advantage In sun parlors and very well protected but more open verandas. If furniture for a porch is not new, It may be possible to cull from pieces In the house, such furniture as Is right for piazza purposes. Paint will re store a new look. ?. 1B3?. Bell Syndicate.?

The Uulted States Is witnessing uu Interesting truusitlou of une of Its Important food customs ? the serving of salads. Our food customs In the past have most frequently originated In the Kast and spread westward. In tills Instance, the custom originat ed on jiie west const, In California, and Is Spreading eastward. Kor many years the people of California have eaten their salads as an appetizer at the beginning of their men Is, while those living In the Kasf have been accustomed to eat tlielr salads with their meat course, or as a special course follow ing the meat. The California custom of serving salads at the beginning of the meul has been spreading rapidly eastward during the past few months and Is now becoming the popular mode on the eastern seuboard. The custom first gained great headway In the South, and has recently been spread to all parts of the country largely through hotels and restaurants. The custom of "salads first" be came somewhat of a vogue In the East this summer when It was adopt ed and sponsored by no less a per son than Mrs. Curtis II. Hall, daugh ter of President Itooscvelt, who is popularly known as the "Darling of the White House." When served at the beginning of the meal, salads are found to be more popular, especially with men and children, who otherwise would seldom eat them, thereby Insuring them a balanced meal. The new mode also lends itself to colorful decorative schemes, which always please the hostess. ^ City of Geneva Linked With Immortal Names What, would Julius Caesar have done with Geneva when he found it In fiS B.
