Morbidness, however, is not part of Arnold's nature. He is reluctant gyiuimtliy In his bearers. 'He leaves the end, the touching things to the imagination. He is more. Interested in telling about bis work in the "T'lah State School for Blind" at Ogden, where he went after leaving the hospital ere I was taught the Braille system of reading, simllnr to the Morris code in that it Is. a system of dots," he said.

During those two months he lived iiviatlon and nothing else. He roomed with A. J. Edwards, and according to Edwards, worked constantly and with little sleep as his preparations went on.

Only, once during the entire time we lived together did he ever have a date with a girl and then he made nie promise that I wouldn't nythlng alsmt his proposed flight to Paris. "He always preferred to spend his si nre time reading and studying or in taking long walks.

He was clean cut and straight forward as any person 1 have ever known and a model for the coming generation of American youth in every respect In that regard it Is a well known fact that Llndliergh never smokes and never uses liquor.
