"Soirit of St. Lou::-
WASHINGTON, May 21.—“There
are no aerial navigators in the world
equal to those in the United States
air mail service today,” declared
Posmaster General Harry New, who
expressed himself as almost too hap-
py for words over the successful
crossing of the Atlantic by Charles
A. Lindbergh, who got his air train-
ing in the transportation of mail be-
tween St. Louis and Chicago.
“Lindbergh is the type of flyer
made in the air mail service,” con-
tinued Mr. New. “His feat of
looping 1,900 miles “f open sea
alone, with a small compass to
guide him, is a mervelous feat of
navigation. It is almost incredible,
but it shows what kind of flying
man comes out of the air mail serv-
ice.”

Lindbergh Tells
Story of Flight
PARIS, May 22.—Capt. Charles
A. Lindbergh Sunday told the story
of his flight from New York to Paris
to a group of newspaper men in the
Fm!ba«sy and when he had finished
every one was firm in the belief that
he was a real flying genius.
“Being newspaper mo(n,” he be-
gan, “I suppose you gentlemen are
interested first in knowing what was
the most dangerous thing about our
flight. The most dangerous thing of
all was that landing at Le Bourget,
bringing that ship down on a field
with all that crowd running. I had
more fear at that moment for the
welfare of our plane than at any
other time in the whole flight.
“The first part of the flight was
better and ea-'ier than any of us
expected. The field in

growths of bois d’ arc that once grew
in Delta County and though most
of it is gone they were able to se-
cure what they wanted.
Being postal men they considei-ed
sending the bois d’ arc posts back
to Fort Worth by parcel post, but
finally made room in their car and
took them with them.

The Brooks Counity grand jury is
without a job. District Judge flood
Boone called the jury, convened the
court, summoned his sheriff, his dis-
trict attorney and his county attor-

all court formalities and then the
district and county attorneys and
sheriff announced they had no one ti»
■present.
“That being the case,'’ said the
judge, “there is no occasion to im-

miss it.
“I must state, however, continued
.fudge Boone, “that this is a record
for any county to be proud of and I
most sincerely congratulate the of-

“It speaks in unmistakable terms,
not only for the efficiency of your
county officers, but still more as to
the law abiding characteristics of
your citizens.”
Brooks County has a population in
excess of 6,000, more than half of
who are of Mexican descent.
