Princetonisms / **• 9HA \ i *25? 1n \ \ ü B/ ®( I € j 1 ( I 1 I V». w What tire the ideals of the younger* generation? Ihe st pictures give an inkling. Princeton seniors voted Joseph Prendergast (top), of New York, their all around ideal; Robert B. Bayes (center), of ’ New York, their ideal of masculine beauty, and Ernest C. ’ Bartell (below), of Tarentum, Pa., their ideal of piousness. AMERICAN FIRST TO FLY FROM NEW YORK TO PARIS (CONTI.NI ED FROM PAGE ONE) - 27 hours. At approximately that hour there were reports by cable that an airplane, which might have been Lind- , bergh’s, flying high and fast had been i seen near Valentia. Ireland, cablehead of the Commercial Cable company. The Western Union cable head, seven miles from Valentia, reported nothing had been seen of the airman there. Lindbergh, making an average speed of 1(H) miles an hour, and granting that his flight has been on the course he expected to follow, should be at the end of 27 hours, within about 900 miles of Paris. But those miles would be nothing to what would be behind him. His load would be much lighter than at the start and he could be expected to speed rapidly over the remainder of his course. Spectators Gather At Faris Paris, May 21.—(UP) — Spectators were gathering at mid-afternoon today at Le Bourget field where it was expected Capt. Charles Lindbergh would drop from the clouds before nightfall. U. S. Ambassador Myron T. Herrick and Director Fortant of the French aeronautic service will greet Lindbergh if he arrives. Belting on the airman was increasing today as the hour of his scheduled arrival approached. Odds were 101 against the lonely airman. For the most part, the French public, with its flair for the dramatic and the foolhardy, seemed captivated by Lindbergh’s solitary attempt to span the ocean. Nevertheless, authorities remembered the anti-American reaction reported in some quarters after the failure of Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli to reach New York, and precautions were taken to prevent unpleasant incidents. At Le Bourget flying field, where Nungesser and Coli started and where Lindbergh was to land if he completed his journey, many aviators expressed confidence that the American would arrive. Much betting was reported. Odds varied, but all money offered against Lindbergh’s arrival was quickly covered. Downtown bars, cases and terraces where Americans gather in Paris kept open all night and crowds of Americans and I'Feuchmen hovered around newspaper electric signs where progress of the Hight was announced. Cheers greeted each of the meager reports on his progress. Every American in Paris who desires to see Lindbergh's arrival will be given a ticket to Le Bourget field, it was announced. — Dr. and Mrs. Harry Erwin, of Fort Wayne, attended the commencement exercises of the local high school heie last evening. r *
