All huts are off to the dashing Lindbergh who landed nufely on French soil ahead of his schedule. He was accorded a welcome .n Paris never given u hero before. He is only twenty-five years of age hut is said to look much younger and was amazed at . the rumpus he had created when he landed. He had no publicity agents to herald departure and his approach. He just hopped off and made the trip and that was all there was to it, and the beauty of the whole affair is that he is modest and has not allowed the plaudits of an admiring world to turn his head. Another beautiful characteristic of the young Westerner was the fact that one of his first visits after a refreshing sleep was to call u]K?n the mother of Nungesser, who with a comjmnion, was making the flight from the other side and has been lost i for nearly three weeks. Lindbergh is of .Swedish-Irish descent and was little known except us an air-mail pilot before he made his recordbreaking flight to fame and fortune and master of the air. The whole world rejoices with this lad in his great achievement. Out of the mud and dust!
