Lindbergh went to sleep early this .morn ing after his New York-to-Paris flight he asked Ambassador Herrick and others who have taken charge of him to let him go back to his plane in order to "show the people how the windows work." "Never mind your old windows," said the ambassador. "Come and get a rest at the embassy." Just before he retired Lindbergh had a Lindbergh Welcomed on Arrival in France middle weat 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 33 hours after leaving Long Island the first man in history to go from New York to Paris without chang ing his seat. Knthualasm Runs High To the young American It was seemingly merely the achievement ol an ambition. 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 sur rounded 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 planr 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 de lirious with joy at his achievement. Nationalism Forgotten All ties of nationalism were for gotten by the Le Bourget throng. They saw in Lindbergh only a man who had brilliantly gambled with death and won. There was regret, of course, for Nungesser and Coll. 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 In trepid Lindbergh as he emerged from what only yesterday morning he bad called his "death chamber." Shortly after 10:10, 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. Lands At Mght "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. Smoothly the airplane, the "Spirit of St. Louis" glided down upon the lighted ground. Even be fore it had come to a pause a hund red hands caught hold of the wings, and scores tried to reach the side of the fuselage, within which sat a young man and who all alone had succeeded In flying from New York to Paris without a stop. Weariness Betrayed The wheels had scarcely ceased j Wonderful i Hosiery Bargains ? From a merchant who quit business we secured 107 pairs of full fashioned Hosiery.

Commercial . - I OF HIS DEPENDABLE PLANE to roll, the propellor had barely come to a stop when Lindbergh weary-eyed, but smiling, got up from the seat where he had so long sa t. and in a casual voice, al most drowned by the cheers of thousands, said with 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 tout came from the heart, as well as the lungs, the crowd took him to itself. x The police did their best to get to the young hero and save him from those to whom he had be come a friend, a hero, a sportsman to admire forever, but they were helpless against the common im pulse. Ignoring the swinging batons of the gendarmes and 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 hit 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 administra tion buildings on the landing field, where noted men of his own coun try 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 hand shake by America's ambassador to France, Myron T. Herrick, and by Frenchmen of high poition. But Lindbergh was too weary seemingly to know what it was all about. He smiled and said: .'Thank you. I am awfully happy," and then his fatigue could be fought off no longer and he seem ed 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 in to which Lindbergh had been car ried. But the crowd had to be disappointed Lindbergh could do no more.

(AP) President Doumergue of Fiance, In a message of congratulations to President Coolidge tonight, viewed the Atlantic flight of Captain Lind bergh as the dream of Nungesser and Coll come true, and as being about the aerial union of the United States and France. ' "All Frenchmen." he said, "un reservedly'admire his courage and rejoice in his success. I congrat ulate you most heartily in the name of the government of the republic and of the whole coun try." In reply President Coolidge thanked the French president for his message, and said that while he and the entire country rejoiced in Lindbergh's success, it had not forgotten to share France's sorrow in the loss of Nungesser and Coli.
