LINDBERGH'S DIARY
IS NOW ON DISPLAY
Becomes Part of Exhibit in
St. Louis Museum.
\
St. Louis, Mo.? To the hundreds of
valuable und Interesting relics now
contained In the Llndhergh exhibition
at Jefferson memorial here has been
added Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's own
handwritten lr>g of bis air adventures
beginning with his first air venture
In 1022, and earlier notes of his career.
The reticent nature of the ftimous
flyer Is shown In tlie abbreviated notes,
some of them being so short as to
require special elucidation. 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.

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.

Where Ignorance abounds fear Is pres

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

and. In some localities, not even pn.v

derestimate for a moment the grnve
Importance of the public Bchool In the
future development of our American
democracy.

Furniture and Accessories of Wrought Iron Are Lqually Well Suited
to Covered or Uncovered Piazzas.
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.

First"
iw the
Idea Adopted by President's
Daughter Finds Favor.
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. ^
