youth he had his machine his course himself and all the contingencies of the matter mathematics mathe mathematically matica ily reduced and related luck had next to nothing 0 to do with the success of the venture it was most carefully planned and skillfully fully managed to call a mind of this caliber the flain fool indicates a strange lack of insight on the part of the group that coined it however this protest is probably unnecessary the nickname a chance to stick lindbergh has his day in history he has justified the splendid public spirit of st louis loui and he has given all his countrymen a
