Henry Boonstra Survives Four Tailspins in One Day. This Is the second of ten stories telling of the heroism and thrilling adventures of Charles Llndbergs's pais In the air mall service. BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service TVriter WASHINGTON, June 9.—Airmail Pilot Henry G. Boonstra went into four tail-spins in one day—and lived! Three weeks earlier he had crashed in the snow on top of a 9,000-foot mountain, crawled thirtysix hours through the snow on hands and knees to reach the nearest cabin and was found, four days after he had taken off! Tried to Climb Out “Boonstra had endeavored to climb above the storm,” says a report. “He had gained an altitude of 18,000 feet and was within one or two thousand feet of the storm's top, when an air pocket, together with his motor losing power on account of the altitude, put him down a few hundred feet into the dense storm, fog and clouds. “Boonstra had been climbing through the storm for some time and when again put into the midst of it, his sense of bearing was lost and the plane went into a spin. “He righted it several times although he could see absolutely nothing, and was just pulling it out

Lindy Took Hard Fall When Parachute Failed

BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY (United Press Staff Correspondent) (Copyright. 1927, by the United Press) CHAPTER IX The fall of 1925 found Charles A. Lindbergh a free lance aviator at the Lambert Flying Field, St. Louis. One afternoon he was called upon to take up a'new plane for a test flight. The plane flew satisfactorily for a time, and then Lindbergh began putting it through a series of loops and turns, designed to prove the air-worthiness of the machine. At 2,500 feet Lindbergh sent the plane into a tail spin. It came spinning down but as it approached the earth it failed to respond to the controls and continued its giddy plunge. Lindbergh stayed with the ship, fighting to get it righted again, until only 250 feet from the ground. Then he quickly leaped from the plane and came swinging down in a parachute, landing on his back with terrific force in a garden adjoining the flying field and the plane only a few yards away. The drop had been so short the parachute had not had time to break the fall entirely and when flying field attendants came up, Lindbergh’s nose was bleeding and they feared he was severely injured. “Defective design somewhere,” spoke up Lindbergh. “I couldn’t come out of that tail spin. Little close, too.” He dusted himself off, rested an hour and went up again to test a second plane for “defective design.” That was the second escape by parachute Lindbergh had had from a disabled plane. Later he had two others and his record in the war department at Washington shows he is the only aviator in this country who has had four such escapes. Lindbergh had come to Lambert Field from Kelly Field, Texas, where he had completed his course at the army advanced flying school, March 15, 1925, and had been rated as a pilot and given a commission as a second lieutenant in the army air corps reserve. On receiving his commission he outfitted himself in the uniform of his rqnk, was photographed and until he joined the Missouri National Guard approximately a year later, thought no more of military flying. A glance through his record at Kelly Field shows that his standing there was remarkable. In 17 of the 24 subjects in which he was examined, his standing was rated as “excellent,” in five as “very good” and in one, property accounting, as "fair.” In military law, army regulations field service, regulations, guard aerodynamics, meterology, handling of the Lewis machine gun, and synchronizing gears, he had an average of 99 out of a possible 100, in subjects having to do with navigation and with radio his marks were around 90, and in only six subjects was he below 90. < On leaving Kelly Field he headed for St. Louis, a place he had visited once previously. That was in October, 1923, when he arrived alone | and unheralded—as always—in a decrepit appearing old biplane and entered it in the International Air Race. He then had been flying less than two years. A few days after the race Harlan I Guerney, Lindbergh’s flying mate, was injured In a |sracbute jumg

PILOT HENRY G. BOONSTR/ of the spin for the fourth time when he crashed into the ground. Throughout his struggle, he was constantly on the verge of unconsciousness. Knocked Unconscious “Boonstra lay in the plane for three hours, unconscious. When he came to, his suit was covered with blood from several lace- vtions on the face, his nose was possibly broken and he had numerous bruises. He then put on his snowshoes and started for Upton. Hitting a Mountain Boonstra himself tClls the story of his other most notable adventure. “I left Salt Lake City at 7:30 a.m. for Rock Springs, Wyo. Thirty minutes out of Salt Lake, flying low under clouds and clearing mountain peaks by about 200 feet, I apparently ran into a strong wind square on my tail. Without time to turn, throttle the motor or cut the switches, the plane dropped to meet a ridge. The landing gear collapsed and the plane slid on its belly over the ridge and came to a stop. “I took the compass and my traveling bag and started on my JOurney toward civilization. The ridge was bare of snow, but before

from Lindbergh's plane and Lind- ! bergh remained in St. Louis until j Guerney recovered, selling his plahe ! j in the meantime and buying the old ! Standard bi-plane in which he arrived at Brooks Field, Texas, the next year for his army training. j It was while free lancing p.t Lam-: j bert Field in 1925, that Lindbergh j I made his connection with the Rob-! ' ertson Aircraft Corporation, which led him into the air-mail service and j indirectly played a part in his 1 crowning venture, the flight to i Paris. He joined a group of brother aviators in maintaining bachelor quarj ters in a little frame house near the J flying field. There he settled down i to thef-exacting life of a commercial aviator. He was up early, slept i when he could, and always subject j to call. But life was not all work. Aviators, when not flying, are a lightJ hearted crew who worry little, and | Lindbergh, when not employed, was usually busy at his favorite diver- 1 ! sion, playing practical jokes. He I delighted in loosening up a bed so it would collapse about the time a | comrade tried to sleep in it. He never seemed too tired after a long 1 | trip to turn loose his pranks on | whoever might appeal to him as a likely victim. It was at this time that Lindbergh became the jaunty, well dressed aviator, when he was flying, that he proved to be the evening he arrived in New York from St. Louis and startled the nation’s blase metropolis with his faultless attire. But when he was not in his flying costume, he still seemed the gangling country boy he was in 1921 when he arrived at Lincoln, Neb., and began learning to fly. He usually wore blue serge, and regardless of how carefully his clothes might have been selected, his suit always seemed too smaji and his arms too long. His commercial flying was varied that summer when he and Phillip R. Love, who had been a classmate at Kelly Field, flew to Chicago in DH-4 planes, blazing the trail for the St. Louis to Chicago air route, which later he was destined to fly with the mails. He joined the One Hundred Tenth Missouri Aviation Squadron, National Guard, at that time, became flight commander and that was when he obtained his rank as cap- ! tain, the rank which he still holds. April 15, 1925, Lindbergh became the “Flying Mail Man,” when he made his first flight over the Chi-cago-St. Louis air mail route with United States mail. During the following winter he and Thomas P. Nelson, also a graduate of the Kelly Field, army flying school, made aviation history with their night flying between those twp cities. The route was not lighted in any way. They flew just as Lindbergh flew into Paris, with unlighted planes.' No matter what the weather, Lindbergh always seemed ready to go. He would take the air with the mail when no one else cared to go aloft and %t the end of the winter his record showed that he had delivered the mail at its destination with as great regularity as had fliers on many of the well-lighted routes. | Fog, snow and sleet all were met ! and overcome by him and it' was in j this treacherous flying that -he | gained much of the skill which permitted him to outwit a sleet storm | in the North Atlantic while flying 1 jq Paris,

ONTARIO BOOZE SALES STAY AT SIOO,OOO DAILY Rush to Liquor Stores Continues; Ban Lifted Nine Days Ago. The Canadian Province pi Ontario has been selling liquor under Its new government control law lor nine days. The United Press- offers herewith the first •of two stories designed to show what the experience oft these days of “modified prohibition" has been. The second story I will be carried tomorrow from Windsor, Bu United Presa TORONTO, June 9. Ontario, which can take its prohibition or leave it, is consuming its liquor at a reported rate of SIOO,OOO a day, after nine days of legal sale of alcoholic beverages by the government. The thirst, developed during eleven years of prohibition, has proved hard to satisfy. After more than a week of open sale, long lines of customers oi all classes still wait their turn at the government liquor stores from the time they open in the morning until they close at night. The demand has subsided slightly this week, however, and D. B. Hanna, chairman of the liquor commission, predicted the sale of liquor would settle down in a few more days to as dull a routine as the retailing of groceries. Observers in Doubt It still is too early to draw any definite conclusions from Ontario’s experience with Government-con-trolled liquor sale. Dry leaders observe a demoraliznig tendency and wets are confident the new law has solved the liquor problem. Neutral observers were frank to admit today that they couldn’t tell yet what was likely to happen. Between thirty and fifty persons have been arrested daily on charges of drunkenness since June 1, when the new law became effective, and sixty intoxication cases—a record—were reported over the first weekend, but wets insisted that was due to the first rush and would not continue. Drys had their doubts. Bootleggers Profit Bootlegging remained a problem with one prominent illicit liquor dealer said to have twenty agents in line daily, buying whisky at S3 a bottle to be sold a few hours later at $5. Bootleggers also were reported continuing to do a big business in beer, which costs 17 cents a pint at the government stores and must be bought by the case. The liquor commission was keeping a strict check on purchases to prevent illegal repeat orders. Some permits already have been revoked, and it was predicted that after a few weeks the liquor venders will be able to keep bootleggers’ agents from obtaining enough liquor to be of any value. Tourist Effect Watched great change in the type of customer has been observed since the government stores opened. At first, hundreds of the applicants were unable even to sign their names, but in the last few days much of the trade has been of the limousine class. Although a special store was opened here for American tourists, authorities believed it was too early to forecast what effect the new law would nave on the number oi visitors crossing the border. RADIO IRE NO STATIC 4 Persons, Alleged Counterfeiters, Held for Trial. Bu United Pram FT. WAYNE. Ind.. June 9. The anger of radio enthusiasts in middle Western cities was visited today on four persons accused of counterfeiting radio tubes. The four, Max Schubert, 42, Ft. Wayne, and John C. Woods, 41, Indianapolis, partners in a radio tube manufacturing business here, and Miss Anna Mueller, Schubert’s secretary, and Howard Hugenard, a printer, were held for trial June IS in city court. Sale of fake tubes to radio fans in several Michigan cities and elsewhere at discounts* from the price fixed by the bona fide manufacturer brought their arrests. PESTS MENACING FRUIT Experts Dispatched to Texas for Thorough Investigation. Bu United Preen WASHINGTON. June 9.—The Department of Agriculture has dispatched two of its foremost authorities on fruit pests to Texas to investigate the advisability of quarantining #niit farms of that State to prevent*spread of the Mexican fruit fly, which is menacing the orange, grapefruit and other citrus f’-’iit crops of the entire Nation. Upon the reports from these two men Dr. A. C. Baker, entomologist in charge of the Government’s tropical fruits insect investigation, and Dr. James Zetek, head of the Canal Zone laboratories, largely depends whether such drastic action will be necessary.

So he attempts to improve on reality by creating characters and situations out of his fanciful mind. But It is the adventure of life itself that claims our deepest interest. We are fascinated by what our neighbors are thinking and doing. Their hopes, fears, joys, sorrows, temptations and struggles are much like our own, and are therefore of immediate and vital concern.

REMY ORDERS TRANSCRIPT OF RACEBET CASE ‘Savings of Lifetime’ Are Lost at Silverman’s, Baruch Charges. x ] Prosecutor William H. Remy today ordered a transcript of testimony in which Mark Baruch, 2937 Boulevard PI., told Special Judge Joseph M. Milner in Superior Court Five how he lost “the savings of a lifetime” at gambling. Baruch testified he lost the proceeds from the sale of six lots, in a place operated at 25 S. Capitol Ave. by Abe and Izzy Silverman, on horse races. He sued Abe for $4,000 and got $2,000 judgment.

Remy was interested in testimony that Abe was operating gambling in a restaurant at 109 Kentucky Ave. Baruch told of having a fight with Abe last December because Abe would not pay off a bet. Dr. W. A. Gant, dental surgeon, testified he had seen Baruch in the Silverman place. Gant said he had not been a customer since Abe refused to pay him all of $250 he won on a $5 horse race bet. Abe denied the testimony vigorously. Abe and Izzy Silverman and an' other brother, Raymond, are undell indictment for gambling.
