Life Story Os Captain Charles A. Lindbergh NEW YORK-TO-PARIS FLYER IS NO SUPERMAN, BUT JUST A NORMAL AMERICAN YOUTH WHO HAS THREE OUTSTANDING CHARAC TERISTICS, NAMELY, COMPLETE MASTERY OF HIMSELF, DIRECTION IN LIFE AND GREAT COURAGE.

By Morris Do Haven Tracy (United Press Staff Correspondent) (Copyright, 1927, by United Press) Out in Montana, Wyoming and Colorado most everyone who went to a county fair between 1922 and 1925 has membership in the "I’ve seen Lindbergh Fly” club. During those years Charlie Lindbergh had Just turned 20 years. He was at heart a lover of adventure and he headed west to find it. In 1922, after he had tired of giving the townspeople of Little Falls, Minnesota. airplane rides, he poined Harold J. Lynch, now of Butte, Montana, and the two barnstormed through the west thrilling the people who gathered at county fairs with the capers they cut in their airplanes. Lynch was the senior flier. He had been a flight instructor training army aviator during the war and for that matter, he stil is a well known aviator in the west. "I knew Lindbergh in those days as a fellow who had more pure grit than anyone I had ever seen," said Lynch, telling of their experiences. "First he was with *ts as a mechanic, then he became a parachute jumper and general aerial dare-devil. "One of his stunts was to walk out on the wing of a plane going 90 miles an hour and step off into the air with his parachute. That made many a Roman holiday for the folks who went t. the country fairs. “Everyone called him ‘Slim’ out there. “He knew how to fly and pretty soon he had a plane of his own and was ready either to be the parachute jumper or to pilot a ‘stunt’ machine—whatever the people wanted.” He soon was giving more thrills pehour of flying than any other flier could offer. The "falling leaf the "Immelmann turn" spins, dives and all of the capers that airmen have invented to make watching crowds gasp with excitement, seemed to came easy to Lindbergh. “He simply out-aced all the other aces.” said Lynch,“with his daring ing and tricks. “His particular specialty was to ascent a great heighth loop and turn in a dizzy series of maneuvers and then swoop down at terrific speed, un til even aviators thought he surely would crash. He would come closer to earth than any other flier dared, but he always had control of bis plane and just abcut the moment they were calling for the ambulance to be ready to carry ‘Slim’ away, his plane would stick its nose up and he would soar away again in a graceful ascent. “I always wondered when I saw him do that, whether anyone in the crowd had a weak heart. It anyone did that trick certainly would stop it completely. Lindbergh became known not only for his stunt flying in Montana. Wyoming and Colorado at that time, but for the characteristic he still has, namely that of being on time at all costs. It became a matter of general knowledge that when Lindbergh was scheduled to fly at a county fair or public carnival, it was certain that Lindbergh would fly. That was not always true of all the aviators who were barnstorming in those days. Many times he would complete his program at Kidneys and Back < Made Life Miserable Says He’s Full of Pep Now, and Pains are All Gone. “I suffered with pains in my kidneys and back for three years. My back at times seemed as if it would break in two. I was tired out most of the time, and when I came home from work I just felt like I wanted to lie down. I lost flesh until I only weighed 155 pounds. Nothing J took did me any good till I found Viuna, and after taking only’ one bottle I was wonderfully relieved. My back stopped aching and I began to get some pep. My appetite picked up and I began to gain weight till I now weigh 170 pounds (a gain of 15 pounds), and feel fine and eat anything.”—Curtis Chappell, 1130 East St. Clair St., Indianapolis, Ind. < Viiiaa acta promptly on <• sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys.

one fair, get Into his plane ami fly, regardless of weather, to the next town for an appearance the following day, braving storms and most difficult flying conditions, rather than disappoint the public. When the flying season was over Lindbergh went to work in a garage in Billings, Montana. As a sideline to his work as a mechanic, lie did parachute drops from time to time, ns a bit of advertising for the garage. Finally Lindbergh tired of Montana and decided to go back to Little Falls. He made his way to the headwaters of the Missouri liver and there got a canoe and decided he would go home by boat, canoeing down the Missouri to the Mississippi and then up the Mississippi to Litle Falls.. He started out alone, as he has been on most cf his adventures. All went well until the trip was well underway. Then the boat got caught in the eddy, overturned, sank and left Lindbergh without means of transportation ami barely left Mm alive. 0 Senatorial Committee Named To Welcome Lindy Chicago, June B—(UP) —The senatorial committee of 12 members which will serve as an official greeting committee to Captain Charles Lindbergh when he arrives in Washington was announced today by VicePresident Dawes.
