THE GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE Friday Evening, May 20, 1927. SEES BETTER DAYS FOR UNIVERSE Mason Says World On Threshold of Amazing Discoveries.

"No Longer Ashamed" "Man has discovered that he is, in all reverence, the master of his own destiny." he said.

"and man is 110 longer ashamed of his animal origin. but is proud that he is a rational animal. "We are children in mentality at present. children removed only 300 years from the shackles of witchcraft end superstition." he continued. "All that we have accomplished so far has been 8 blind groping with clumsy fingers over the keyboard of the or.

gan of intelligence. The discordant notes which w'e have produced are promises, however, of the marvelous harmonies which are to come as we learn more about playing this game of intelligence. "To Study "Man has at Inst found the courage to study himself his social behavior -with the same methods and the same spirit he has applies to his study of the natural sciences." he asserted, "and this new day in scientific deavor is fully as important to the human race as the impulse which was given 1 to scientific research by tho discoveries of Newton and Galileo."

L. E. M. Gillman. Concluded From Page One Lindbergh Hops Off On Flight to Paris newest of aviation apparel, the young Argonaut started.

The plane and its lone pilot seemed to reflect a gay challenge to the dangers of the 3800 miles between New York and the French metropolis, Disregards Bad Weather Disregarding the threatening weather just before dawn, the "flying fool" again merited his name as he fulfilled his promise to start "the very minute that the clearing comes" regardltss of weather "it's bretakfast. supper, dinner or the middle of the night." He said he expected to reach Paris -and win the $25,000 prize of Raymond Orteig-in from thirty six to forty hours, dependent upon flying conditions. The plane carried 448 gallons of gasoline and the 25 year old aviator who believes that he travels the fastest alone thought as he sped away that he could fly for 45 hours on that amount of fuel. Lindberg's departure followed an eleventh hour decision. He apparently had no thought early last night that the weather would permit him to essay the long jump across the trackless Atlantic today but decided to do so when conditions improved.

Hag No Radio Travelling light, with only a week's supply of army emergency rations, "Slim" has no radio and will not be heard from until he lands in Paris. He will travel the great circle course, following the compass all the way. Always a man of few words, he had even less to say than usual before he left this morning. He evidenced no excitement or nervousness before the hop off. Clarence D.

Chamberlin wished Lindbergh's goodluck as did Commander Richard E. Byrd, who will follow the youth in a few days. Before boarding the plane Lindbergh smilingly remarked to Chief Abraham Skidmore of the Nassau county police: "When I enter that cockpit, its like going into the death chamber. When get to Paris it will be like getting a pardon from the governor." Lindbergh left behind two pianes groomed for New York to Paris flights. The America is not ready and probably not be able to start this week.

The Bellanca monoplane Columbia is said to be ready to go when its owners can agree on a crew. The Columbia will not hop off on its New York to Paris flight while Captain Lindbergh is in the air, it was announced this morning. Single Seated Plane The Ryan monoplane, spirit of St. Louis, is of metal with wings of wood and weighs 5,000 pounds. It is A single seated plane.

The craft carries no gear for landing at sea, but equipped with a pneumatic raft. Its gasoline capacity is more than 425 gallons and its maximum speed is 123 miles per hour. Lindbergh began his journey from San Diego, almost two weeks ago. Spanning the continent in two jumps in less than a day's flying time. Lindbergh is a post-war porduct of aviation.

He was born at Detroit, Feb. 4, 1902 and at the age of 19 he learned to fly at Lincoln, after forsaking the study of mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin, He soon completed a flying course in the army and was graduated with the reputation of being one of the best pilots in the service. His flight is being backed by a group of St. Louis business men. Probably the one person most anxious for his success is Mrs.

Evangeline L. Lindbergh, of Detroit, his mother. Morning Is Foggy ROOSEVELT FIELD, New York Charles E. Lindbergh, alone and without ceremony, sailed off into the gray of this foggy morning, in his Ryan monoplane, shouting to his friends that tomorrow he would be in Paris. He started at 7:51 1-2 a.

daylight time. When next seen this daring youngster of 25 years, was flying so low over Long Island sound near Port Jefferson, New York, that had he been over land he would hardly have cleared the tree tops. His dparture was much as his ar. rival out of the west had been almost unheralded, daring and dramatic in its very lack of pomp and eircumstance. Last night Lindbergh said he didn't think he would go.

But about 11 p. m. favorable weather reports came to him. There was a stir in his quarters, and he went to bed. A few hous later he appeared at the flying field where had gathered perhaps a thousand people.

mostly men, willing to lose a night's sleep to see that lone wolf of the flying pack, head away into the east for Paris. Towed to Runway His plane was wheeled from the hangar and towed from Curtiss field to the head of the runway which Commander Richard Byrd had built at Roosevelt field and in the spirit of the aviators' fraternity, had invited. Lindbergh to use. Mechanies went over it for the Jast time and fueled the tanks Lindbergh's sought seclusion from shower of rain in a nearby automobile. He wasn't the smiling youth of yesterday, happy with a roller coaster at Coney Island or with a toy giraffe for his hat.

He was grim, nervous, and his friends kept. the crowd away from him. This WaS solemn business. The mechanics pronounced the machine ready. Lindbergh- -stepped to It, got into the cockpit, looked over his cargo and came out to walk once more around the plane, trying this and that, and finding all was well.

Someone spoke of the kitten which had been given him as a mascot. To Cold for Kitten "No, don't put it in, it will be 100 cold." he pronounced. "The kitten might die." He had thus expelled his only possible living companion for the 30 to 40 hours he hoped to be flying alone in terrible monotony. "I'll be Paris tomorrow." he assured B. F.

Mahoney, the 26-year-old president Ryan Airlines of Sandiego, builders of Lind. bergh's plane, as they exchanged a final hand shake. Grover Whalen, Commander RichanI E. Byrd and Anthony Fokker in turn wished him luck. "I'll see you sin Paris," sald Byrd.

Chief of Police A. W. Skidmore of Garden City, who had become a close friend of the daring westerner, came up. "Well, kid, you're about to go," he said. "It you come back you'll get a good reception right here." Makes Odd Comparison "When I get into the cockpit," answered Lindbergh slowly, "it's like getting into a death chamber.

"And if I get out in Paris it will be like a pardon from the governor." He climbed back into the machine. roared his motor and looked out at the crowd which was silent and speaking only in whispers, all eyes intent upon this one, audacious youth who sit there ready to challenge, alone and unaided, the Atlantic. He turned to his controls. He glanced again at his instruments. Again he speeded his engine.

The heavy plane began slowly to move. The crowd cheered. Lindbergh could be seen, all nervous intensity, and not a sign of the smile which has become so familiar. Gradually the machine picked up speed, and rolled away. Nearly half mile down the runway it bumped and bounced.

"He can't make it." men who ought to know, gasped. "He is going too slow. For God's sake, why don't he speed up." Lindbergh was doing the audacious thing once more. He was moving east on the runway. It he failed to rise, he would crash into wires and trees and houses.

He could as well have gone the other way and had a clear field ahead of him--yet it seems one of the perversities of this man to chal lenge fate. Knew What He Was Doing But Lindbergh knew what he was doing. The machine bumped heavily twice more, digging great ruts in the water soaked and slimy mud of the runway. Then it slowly began to rise. The crowd cheered as daylight could be seen beneath the plane.

A thousand people began running, as if they might catch up with him, down the field. By feet, the plane rose, cleared the wires, tree tops and houses, "God be with him," murmured Commander Byrd, "He's off," shouted the crowd. Five planes left the ground in rapid succession and followed this lone man as he sped away. Lindbergh's plane grew smaller and smaller and then suddenly its silver wings merged into the morning clouds and it was gone from view much as a light is turned out. Charles Lindbergh called "Slim" and "Lucky" by his friends, was away on his supreme adventure, alone.

For the next 30 to 40 hours he hopes to sit there, unable to rise, his hands on the controls, his eyes on his instruments, unable to see ahead except through uncertain periscopes, and with only the monotony of the restless Atlantic beneath him and the hum of his motor to hear. STARTS OFF FAST ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. his take off Captain Charles E. Lindbergh was making about 100 miles an hour according to Arthur Caperton, a Curtiss flyer, who accompanied the New York to Paris plane for several miles. 'He was going fast," Caperton reported.

"Every cylinder of his engine was hitting perfectly. He must have been making better than 100 miles an hour." If luck is with him, Paris will welcome the first man ever to fly from New York sometime late tomorrow. "I'll probably go to sleep," Lindbergh said to friends who asked what would be the first thing he would do in Paris. SHIPS ARE NOTIFIED WASH RI TON (U.P.) The Navy and the Shipping board this morning notified all government and private merchant vessels in the north Atlantic to be on the watch for Capt. Charles Lindbergh on his New YorkParis flight, and to wireless immedately to naval headquarters here if Lindbergh is sighted.

There are 50 shipping board steamers on the northern steamer lanes. "NX-211" HIS MARKING NEW YORK-4P-It steamship captains at sea and people on land "HE WILL GET THERE, ALL RIGHT" SOTPit MRS. LINDBERGH AND DETROIT- (U.P.) -Mrs. Evangeline Lodge Lindbergh, mother of the intrepid youth who today set off alone from Garden City, L. for Paris in a monoplane, faced chemistry class in Cass Technical high school her, as though nothing had happened.

"Your son left for Paris this morning." she was informed upon her arrival at the school. "Well that's fine," answered the wife of the former Minnesota congressman, "He'll get there all right. And if he had room in the plane I would be right beside him now." Mrs. Lindbergh passed impatiently into the building, carefully avoiding see the letters and figures "NX-211" flash across the sky, they will know that they have seen the Spirit of St. Louis winging its way to Paris.

The big letters and figures, painted on both sides of Captain Lindbergh's plane, are the most distinguishng markngs of his craft. Only its name and name of its maker, Ryan, are the other marks on the plane. MAY HIT FOG BANKS WASHINGTON (U.P.) Weather conditions over the great circle route- -the shortest air line between New York and the continentwere reported by the U. S. Weather bureau today to be less favorable than HER "FLYING" SON any attempt at an interview.

As stoical as any spartan mother who bid farewell to her baby girl that was to be cast upon the barren rocks die, Mrs. Lindbergh reported first to the principal's office at the school. Perhaps her demeanor was more stoical. "Please see that I am not given any reports," she requested. "I wish to be undisturbed in conducting my class.

No matter what happens do not let anyone get through to see me. And do not send in reports of the progress." She immediately repaired to her room. over the so-called steamer lanes route somewhat to the south. The weatherman said that if Lindbergh took the great circle route as planned, he was likely to encounter fog and low visibility to the Banks, such as has prevailed for some days. 'The bureau explained it makes its weather reports on ocean conditions solely from reports of vessels at sea and from certain coastal stations.

The naval hydrographic bureau concurred in the weather bureau's re-7 port on great circle route conditons to the Banks but said that over. the remainder of the Atlantic almost perfect weather will greet Lindbergh.
