Tour

A traveling preacher in the cause of aviation delivered his last sermon last week and returned to private life. This summer & fall he delivered 147 pleas for the cause he loves; flew 22,350 miles in 260 hours; visited 48 states and 82 cities; attended 69 dinners; rode 1,285 miles in parades; was seen by 30,000,000 people. For this endless distance he used only one transport--The Spirit of St. Louis, a Ryan monoplane which flew last May across the ocean, doing its part to make its pilot, Charles Augustus Lindbergh, for several months the most talked-of man in the world.

Col. Lindbergh made his preaching tour under the auspices of and on salary from the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics. To all the cities he preached the gospel of more airports and support for the air mail. Despite his ceaseless handshaking, his condition was pronounced excellent after two thorough medical examinations on the tour.

Now what will Col. Lindbergh do? Said he in Philadelphia, his last official stop: "That I don't know. I am going to New York. There I'll look over my mail and decide."
