Then addressing the ‘assembly he sald: ‘I am thankful for all these dis- (Hnctions which are being given to me in Mexico. I have not enough words to thank you for this.” The afrman was lauded In spceches by several deputles. After- wards a banquet followed at which | toasts were proposed to President Coolidge, Ambassador Morrow and Colonel Lindbergh. President Calles and the airman, earlier in the day pored over a map of Mexico as the American explain- ed, through an interpreter, flight and some of the fundamental .points involved in flying and navi- gation. Hears Mexican Music. Lindbergh listened to Mexlcan music until after midnight. An en- tertainment in his honor was given by the foreiga office in one of M co's largest theaters. Three Wou- sand invited guests gathered there and the streets outsids were throng- ed from early in the evening until Lindbergh left by crowds anxious to catch a glimpse of him. Lindbergh sat in a box with Presi- dent Calles, Ambassador Morrow, acting Forelgn Minister Estrada, Secretary of the Treasury Montes De | and Martinez De Alba, chief of the foreign office. All of the cabinet and were in the other entire diplo- cva, protocol the members their families boxes aa well as the matic corps. The gathering cheered for Lind- bergh as he and Calles and Morrow entered. At one time during the eve- ng they turned toward the houted: ndy, Lindy, Lindy.” Tht'airman rose and stood at the edge of the box and smiled and bowed his thanks. The foreign office assembled the Dest musical talent of Mexico for his entertalnment. ed to enjoy especially the singing of Ignacio Fernandez Esperon.

He played and sang a number of his own compositions as well as Mexican folk songs. = Given Gay Shawl. The musicians presented Lind- bergh with a great bouquet of roses and a handsome serape or gayly col- ored native shawl. Six hundred school children cheered Lindbergh as he entered one of the biggest public schools— “Benito Juarez,” named in honor of the Mexican patriot who is called “the Lincoln of Mexico.” the colonel's visit the “Lincoln li- brary” of the school, a gift of an American organization “the friends of Mexico” was opened. Two little Mexican fchoolgir about twelve years old invaded the American embassy before Lindbergh was up. To the first person they encountered, the girls sald “We want to sce Lindy, please. We tried to see him yesterday but d. We'll be very unhappy un- you let us see him. Can't you tell him.” Their pleas were addressed to | Colonel McNab, military attache at | i Tx ase he replied. Colonel McNab placed the two lit- tle girls In an oftice window over- looking the walk across the court- | vard from the embassy residence | which /Lindy would take when he | came out after breakfast. i Lindy came eventually and they | saw him.

Lindbergh is wondering just how much of a linguist he is. Replies fn Spanish. Asked it he understood Spanish | he replied: “One word—Toluca.” | He added that he had a mighty good reason to know it.
