Edwards was taken to the General hospital, where his condition was pronounced critical.

"Lucky" Lindbergh's plane came out of tha darkness without lights and steered unerringly over Its goal As it dropped to tha ground a swelling roar went tip from the crowd and thousands cheered lustily it It taxied to the far side of the field from the airdroma and halted. Lindbergh was all In after his 3:. nd a hi I hours in the little cockpit of his plane without sleep, ever 'watching his instruments and listening to the beat of his motor cross the stretches of the Atlantic His magnificent task completed, be had no energy left.

The crowd, cheering and fighting to assist the aviator, began to purh tht plane toward the lights where be could be attended to. The scene was indescribable. Wen, women and children were hysterical as they swept past guards nd broken down barriers to reach tba plane. Even the privilege of touching the fuselage of the ship that had made the historic voyage was sought and the crowd fought to lay a hand on it.

Many were knocked down and trampled in the rush and many injuries were reported. Lindbergh, after the first reaction that floored him, recovered somewhat and raised himself. He smiled, perhaps for the first tlm since he said goodbye to his well wishers in New York and his mouth, always ready for a smile, curvey up as he assayed a grin and aid: "So this is Paris?" He looked at the throng of friendly faces pressing down around him and added simply: 1 did it." Try To Shoulder Plane The demonstration continued unchecked and finally a hundred hands seised the plane and the crowd acting like people demented, raised the heavy Ryan monoplane from the pound, attempting to shoulder it and carry it in triumph across the field. The field was well illuminated and the crowd made a strong spectacle as it milled around the plane, ewarnung like flies around honey. Tha troops were helpless but fought hard to preserve order and clear the field, fearing that one of the planes which had gone aloft to watch for Lindbergh might come down and crash into the crowd.

The demonstration seemed to trow Instead of diminish, and the enthusiasm grew so wild that it took 20 minutes for troops and officials to get Lindbergh across the field. "It was a splendid trip," Lindbergh continued when he had recovered more fully. "I'll do it again. "I'm sorry I didn't land before darkness. "I never did doubt the outcome.

The last few miles were the hardest." Lindbergh was excited and apparently highly unstrung after his severe experience. In addition to his 33 hours in the air without slaep, he had slept only two hours the night before he started from Nw York. As eager well-wishers pressed around him he stopped speaking and was overcome. He seemed too happy to speak and tears began streaming down his face. First Thought Is Of Mother "Somebody cable mother," he pleaded.

Then he was handed a sheaf cf 00 congratulatory cablegrams, mostly from -America. "They're kind to think of me." murmured, apparently at a loss for words as he stuck them in his pockets.

'1 7 -1 "el 3LICAN; N. Central Ave. "1 vi ft in ACCLAIMED AS HERO Mrlatrd Press Inr4 Wirt) PARIS. May 21.Captaln Charles A. Lindbergh.

The young American aviator, who hopped off from New York yesterday morning all alone in his monoplane, arrived in Paris tonight, safe and Bound, aa everyone hoped he would. The sandy haired son of the middle west dropped down out of the darkness at Le Bourget flying field, a few miles from Paris, at 10:21 o'clock tonight (5:21 p. m. New York time) only 33V4 hours after leaving Long Island the first man In history to so from New Turk to Paris without changing his seat. To the young American it was seemingly merely the achievement of an ambition.

"It wasn't such a bad trip," he said, later at the American embassy. "I ran Into some snow and Ice in the early part; the rest wasn't so bad." Afraid Of Sandman "The biggest trouble was staying awake. I went to sleep several times, but was lucky enough to wake myself right away. I was afraid of the sandman all the time." Computing the distance as 3800 miles his speed averaged around 113 miles and hour. To Paris, to France, to America, to the world, his landing tonight made him the greatest of heroes mankind has produced since the air became a means of travel.

A crowd of at least 25,000 surrounded his plane, the "Spirit of St. Louis," 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 anything else, except let himself be carried along by a mass of men made delirious with Joy at his achievement. Welcomed Like King Never has an aviator of any nation, even king or ruler, had a greater or more spontaneous welcome from the hearts of the common people of France. The very recklessness of his endeavor, as it appeared, appealed to the quick emotional Imagination of Frenchmen, and they were quick to respond with everything their own hearts could give.

All ties of nationalism were forgotten by the Le Bourget throng. They Paw in Lindbergh only a man who had brilliantly gambled with death, and 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 bitterness in their greeting of the American winner. It was the common people of France who first hailed the intrepid Lindbergh as he emerged from what only yesterday morning he had called his "Death Chamber." Shortly after 10:10 o'clock, the roar of his motor, for which they had been waiting for hours, came out of the clear night sky to the ears of the multitude Police lines were swept aside as thousands surged over the field to welcome the man who had won their hearts and had earned immortal fame.

"There he is" the cry went up as the rays of the searchlights gleamed upon the monoplane gracefully descending from the darkness which had enveloped 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. Hundreds Grasp Plane 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 another 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 without a stop.

The wheels had scarcely ceased to roll, the propeller had barely come to a stop, when Lindbergh weary-eyed, but smiling, 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 charming simplicity: "Well, here we are." He put his leg over the side of the cockpit, and it was grasped by a dozen hands. So was his other leg, 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. Police Helpless police did their best to get to the young hero and save him from those whom he had become a friend, a hero, a sportsman to admire forever, but they" were helpless against the common impulse.

Ignoring the loud voiced shouts of soldiers anxious to bring order out of delirious, but very human enthusiasm, the crowd of common people swirled about the young man from America held aloft and smiling, and seemingly a bit bewildered on the arms of a few sturdy souls. 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 field, where noted men of his own country and of France had long been waiting to welcome him with due formality. When finally they got him there, his tired and trembling fingers were grasped In a handshake by America's ambassador to France, Myron T. Herrick. and by Frenchmen of high position.

But Lindbergh was too weary seemingly to know what It was all about. Pie smiled and said: "Thank you. I am awfully happy," and then his fatigue could be fought no longer and he seemed to go to sleep standing there on his feet. Outside the crowd was howling for a sight of the hero who has won the heart of France as no American probably had before. Brilliant searchlights were focused on the balcony of the building.

Into which Lindbergh had been carried. But the crowd had to be disappointed Lindbergh could do no more. PITTSBURGH CELEBRATS (Aitsoriated Press Lease Wire) PITTSBURGH. May TbeAs-sociated Press dispatch that told (AMneiated Trem Leased Wlra) XTASHINGTON. May 21.

Lind- bergh's history-making flight to France today thrilled Washington out of its traditional stolidity. The thought of this young airman, winging his way alone through the darkness of the night, over deserted ocean waters, and depending for his life on his own skill and Courage, aroused the interest and touched the imagination of the capital as few things have done in the past. There had been the army's world circling flight, the hop of the NC-4 across the Atlantic, the trans-Atlantic voyage of the Los Angeles, and other feats of aviation which had brought admiration and praise from Washington, but the adventuresome solitary attempt of Llnd-berg forced the young flier's personality into the picture and made his flight a test wherein a young sportsman staked everything in the face of forebodings of experts. That appealed to the popular fancy. Crowds in Streets Cheer Everybody in Washington "pulled" for Lindbergh steadily and hopefully and as the day wore along, confidently.

When the news of his arrival at Paris was flashed over the city, there was a spontaneous, city-wide expression of gratification, and officials led by President Coolidge sent their congratulations and praise speeding over the cables to the daring aviator. An airplane winged up from Bulling Field bearing streamers which told the people that Lindbergh had made a safe passage. Cheers went up from crowds on the streets, automobile horns were honked and the city's workers went home glowing with pride. All through the messages of congratulations sent to France there ran, however, a note of sorrow over the failure of the Nungesscr-Coll flight, and President Coolidge as well as others made sympathetic reference to the Flench fliers In their cablegrams. Day of Suspense To Washington, the day was one of suspense which recalled the pre-armistice days.

Thousands called newspaper offices for information of Lindbergh's progress. Government departments were abuzz with excitement. Army and Navy officers threw their whole souls into the Job of furnishing the flier with moral support. Not much else was talked about at the capital, and from the attitude of the people on the street, little would have been needed to send the city Into one of its infrequent, impromptu celebrations. Not a great deal of consideration was given to the practical value of Lindbergs's feat in furthering commercial aviation.

That will be figured out later. The thing was that this young man had flown alone from New York to Paris without a stop, and that was a feat never before performed and one which had been accomplished almost as casually as though the aviator had been flying over his old mail route. IS Blf EXPLOSION (United Press Transcontinental Wire) ROOSEVELT FIELD. N. May 21 A hundred gallons of gasoline emptied from the Bellatica transoceanic monoplane exploded here tonight.

The Bellanca plane had Just been hauled about 100 feet from the scene of the explosion which was attended by flames and tremendous clouds of smoke. "It's the Bellanca plane. It's the Bellanca plane!" shouted thousands of people there to see a trans-Atlantic take-off. Police battled the crowds who ran in all directions and the smoke covered the whole field of vision for a mile from the Fokker hangar. The Bellanca plane was not damaged and one was reported injured.

Police said some one had thrown a lighted match Into the dry grass in which the gasoline lay in pools. The flames flew up suddenly after a hollow detonation. If the person who threw a match into the fuel was In the east aide the west wind undoubtedly enveloped him in the flames and he was burned police said.

Upon word of Captain Charles A. Lindbergh's arrival In Paris, San Diego, in which the Spirit of St. Louis was built, and from which the Intrepid aviator started his great flight, went wild with-Joy. Whistles were blown at every factory and ship in the harbor and business virtually ceased while crowds gathered to discuss the youths' wonderful achievement.

Guns roared from the naval air station batteries at North Island in a 21-gun salute; from Fort Rosecrans boomed a similar salute and army and navy planes flew over the city. Employes at the Ryan Aircraft company plant where the Ryan plane which Captain Lindbergh used was built in less than 60 days, joined spiritedly in the celebration. Every plane at the plant took the air to fly over the city. Captured San Diego "Lucky" Lindbergh completely captured the heart of San Diego when he was here during the construction of his plane and fellow airmen and Ryan workers today all were unanimous in the declaration that "if anyone could make it, we knew it would be Lindbergh." Mayor Harry Clark, upon receipt of news of arrival in Paris of Lindbergh, sent him this telegram: "All San Diego is happy to congratulate you on complettion of your epochal flight." Howard F. Worth, president of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce sent this: "Congratulations on success of flight." The San Diego Chamber of Commerce already is making plans to fete Captain Lindbergh when he returns here from Paris.

Only 25 Years Old Triumphant youth played a notable part In this great drama of the skies. Lindbergh, the peer of present day world aviators, is only 25 years old. Donald A. Hill, the engineer of the Ryan Aircraft company, builders of the monoplane. Is 27 years old.

You could not pick a flaw in his character." i Lindbergh is the most unusual flier that local reporters have seen in some time. For more than a week they pleaded with Lindbergh to permit the publication of his plans for his epochal hop. "Wait until I have done something," he said, forgetting that his four time membership in the famous Caterpillar club during which he escaped death four times by thrilling parachute Jumps, was worth more than casual mention. He finally, but reluctantly, recited the details of his plans for the construction of the plane but exacted a promise of secrecy regarding what time he expected to take-off from New York. Only after the tragic deaths of Commander Noel, Davis and Lieutenant Wooster and on the day of his trial flights with the San Diego Monoplane did he release newspapermen from their pledges.

Ma-honey, president of the Ryan Airplane company of California and C. U. Patterson, assistant to the president of the Wright Aeronautical corporation of Paterson, N. told today of the plane and engine that carried "Lucky" Lindbergh, aviation's "Lone to France. The plans for the plane, Mahoney said, were drawn in the 24 hours nfter Lindbergh went to the San Diego plant and revealed what he had ln mind.

It took 60 days to build the plane and during all that time young Lindbergh stayed on the ground seeing that each piece was Just as he wanted it. "When it was ready to fly, Mahoney said, Lindbergh made the first flight and no body else has ever flown that plane yet." No alterations nad to be made after the test flights, the airplane man said proudly, although a plane of Just that type had never been made before. The engine decided on was a Wright whirlwind, the same engine that Clyarence Chamberlln and Richard Byrd are depending on to cany on over the airpsiKi that Lindbergh hfs blazed. Peterson explained that the engine Is air cooled, has nine cylinders of the radial type, that Is, they are placed like the spokes of a wheel, and Is of 225 horsepower. Lindbergh's engine, he said, is a regular model taken out of stock and was not made especially for the trip.

By having the. engine air cooled much weight Is saved, a Water raa-lator having to carry about pound per horsepower. Peterson said that the engine operating cost of the trip In Lindbergh's plane, would bo approximately $175. Including gas, oil. and deterioration.

The engine uses approximately one gallon of gasoline for every ten miles, not more than a heavy automobile, and one pint of oil an hour. Lindbergh Says Staying Awake Biggest Trouble (Associated Press Leased Wire) PARIS, May 22. (Sunday) Before Captain Charles A.

"Never mind your old said the ambassador. "Come -and get a rest at the embassy." Just before he retired Lindbergh had a bracing cup of coffee, which for a few seconds, brought him out of his sleepiness, enough to talk a little of his flight.

"It wasn't huch a bad trip." he said. I ran into some snow and ice in the early part of the trip; the rest of it wasnt so bad. "The biggest trouble was In staying awake.

The British non-stop flight, which started yesterday, was dwarfed completely amid the anxiety and excitement over Lindbergh.

Nothing had been heard of the British fliers since they passed Wiesbaden, but nobody seemed to care, and all eyes were turned to the newspapers to learn the latest from the Atlantic.

A few short years ago they were a struggling young couple striving to maks a moderate salary cover all their needs.

Smith was just like any one of a hundred young men. And little Mrs. Smith she was so proud of him. He gave her everything he could he was making a fair enough salary and his prospects at the office were good. But itis SO hard to make ends meet the money goes and one doesn't have much to show for it.

A year passed, bringing with it a small raise and an addition to the family. How proud the Smiths were! Yet one day Smith sat and looked out over the blossoming valley a soft breeze blew and it was good to live. Yet after all what was there to show for it? He had provided food, shelter, clothing for his family outside of a little used car he had nothing to show for the money he had earned and There was a small bank account, but how pitifully Then he took a pencil and planned his future. He knew he'd never get anywhere with all the money going out. Rent was one of the worst leaks.

He wanted a home his money went for rent and gave nothing but temporary shelter. He decided to buy a home one of his own, and pay for it in payments like rent. So he and Mrs. Smith and the baby moved into a home of their own. Almost before they knew it before Junior was ready to go to school the -home was paid for.

Then Sir-th sold it, bought one they liked better, and invested the profit he made. XTS- day the Smiths have few financial worries. Yet he was an ordinary seeming young man. What was the difference? Smith wfes simply shrewd. But you can be the same.

Why pay your money out for rent and have no equity in a house when you can have a home and let the rent pay for it? There are many good "For Sales" In the Classified Columns of The Republican every day. A prudent purchase now may double or triple in value in a few years. Surely you can't lose. Do as Smith did plan your future, consult the Want Ads and own your own home. 6 THE Telephone 7474 TAD WAN 120.
