THE STORY SO FAR Lindbergh completed his education at the University of Wisconsin, where he became interested in aviation. He entered a flying school and later joined a barnstorming outfit nad learned parachute jumping and wing walking. He bought a Government airplane for SSOO and made his first solo flight at Americus, Ga. Lindy decided to fly to Texas by direct air line against the advice of more experienced pilots. He made a safe landing the first night at a Government field, but the next night made a hazardous landing in a soft field near Meridian. Miss. A crowd gathered, and Lindbergh offered air rides for $5 each. Avery heavy man accepted, and the weighted Plane missed a fence by three feet in tahlnr off under the load. Lindbergh left Meridian for Texas, but got lost v and descended in a field 125 miles from Meridian. A hidden ditch in the field spelled disaster, and the propeller was broken. Lindbergh was unhurt. After repairing the plane, he had a rushing business in passenger carrying. J After carrying a few passengers at $5 each, he left Meridian for Texas, but got lost and crashed in a hidden ditch after landing in a field. Lindbergh re- , paired the plane and had a brisk business in passenger carrying, f Lindy took up an old southern Negro ; as a passenger and “stunted” for the admiration of the crowd and to the terror of the Negro. Rain and mud forced him from this field and he took off for Texas. Lindbergh crashed and broke another propeller near Shakopee, Minn., while flying from Lincoln. Soft ground caused the “roll over.” Lindbergh's father took his first flight at Marshall and later went with bis son on his campaign. Mrs. lindbergh became an enthusiast after her first flight at Janesville, Minn. Lindy applied for enlistment as a cadet at Brooks Field and was told to report for examination at C'hanute Field. Rantoul, 111., in January, 1924. While waiting, he went barnstorming over Wisconsin and then headed for Lambert Field to see the air races. Bud Gurney, a friend, jumped from Lindy's plane in the parachute landing contest and broke his arm. CHAPTER IX. WE refueled at Hattiesburg and Mobile, then landed at the Naval Air Station near Pensacola, Fla., where the commanding officer showed us every courtesy during our visit. At last I received notice from the War Department to the effect that my examination had been satisfactorily passed, along with an order to appear at Brooks Field, San Antonio, Texas, in time to enter the March 15 class of flying cadets. Klink and I decided to cut short our stay at Pensacola and to work our way as far west as time would allow before it was necessary for me to leave for Brooks Field. We had promised to take one of the ladies of the post for a short hop before leaving, and on the morning of our departure I took

off for a test flight before taking the lady over Pensocola. Just after the ship had left the field and was about 200 feet high over the bay, the motor “reved” down to about 500. I banked around in an attempt to get back to the field, but lacked by about fifteen feet enough altitude to reach it and was forced to land in the sand hills less than a hundred feet from the edge of the flying field. The first hill wiped off my landing gear and one wheel went up through the front spar on the lower left wing, breaking it off about two feet from the fuselage. A quick survey of the plane showed that we would require a new landing gear and propeller in addition to the material required to splice the spar. The Navy hauled the plane into one of its large dirigible hangars and allowed us to make use of its equipment in repairing the damage. We purchased a spare landing gear and a propeller, then built a box frame around the broken spar and, after gluing all the joints, screwed it into position and wound the splice with strong cord, which was then shrunk tight by several coats of dope. In this way the splice was made stronger than the original spar had been. When we were not working on the ship we made several trips to the old Spanish forts which protected the city during the days when Florida still belonged to Spain. These are in an excellent state of preservation and contain a number of passageways, one of which is supposed to lead underground between the two fortifications, but although we searched carefully for the opening to this tunnel we never found it. In all we spent about a week repairing the plane, and when it was ready to fly once more I tested it with an Irving parachute borrowed from one of the officers of the station. That was the first service type of chute I had ever worn and I experienced the unique feeling of not caring particularly whether the ship held together during the tests or not. I put that Canuck through maneuvers which I would never have dreamed of doing with it before, yet with the confidence of absolute safety. The advent of the service parachute was a tremendous step forward in the advance of aviation. It gave the test pilot a safe means . of escape irf most cases when all else had failed. It permitted formations to fly closer in comparative safety, and, in short, allowed fliers to learn more about their planes than ever before. All this contributed to the ever increasing knowledge of practical flying which makes possible the safety of present air commerce. The airplane parachute has developed with the rapidity of the planes themselves. For years descents with ’chutes were made j from balloons, but the first jump from a plane was by Captain Berry at St. Louis. Missouri, in 1912. His parachute was a comparatively crude affair and of no use in an emergency. Ten years later service type parachutes had been perfected which were strong enough to stand any strain the weight of a man’s body falling through the air could place on them, no matter how many thousand feet he fell before releasing the parachute from its pack; and today, fifteen years after Captain Berry made the first jump from an airplane, every army and air mail pilot is required to wear a parachute. The test flight over we lashed a five gallon can of gasoline on each wing and followed along the Gulf of Mexico to Pascagoula, Mississippi. There was a small crack half way down the back of the Canuck’s gasoline tank and when the gas no longer oozed out through the crack we knew that the tank was half empty. By carrying the two gas cans we obtained an extra hour’s cruising

range, and when the main tank became low I would pour their contents into it through a short length of steam hose. In this way we expected to make longer flights between landing fields and partially make up for the time lost at Pensacola. From Pascogoula we went to New Orleans, landing on the race track, north of the city. Then to Lake Charles and from there to Rice Field at Houston, Texas. At Rice Field we installed three fuel tanks under the top wing and center section, which gave us twenty-seven gallons extra capacity, or, in addition to the five gallon cans lashed on the wings, a cruising range of about 400 miles. The field was covered with water and as our next stop was to be Brooks Field, which is just a few miles of San Antonio, we only filled the wing and main tanks, leaving the five-gallon cans empty. At Brooks I obtained definite instructions to report not later than March 15. It was then the end of February, but we decided to push on as far west as the intervening time would allow. Then I would return by rail and Klink would continue alone. We filled all of our tanks and after running along the ground for half a mile, stalled into the air; but after three circles of Brooks Field were completed and the plane was less than fifty feet high we landed and left one of the cans. Klink held the other in his lap in the rear cockpit. We had no more trouble in attaining several hundred feet of altitude with the lessened load and greatly lessened resistance, which counted for much more than the weight of the gasoline, but an hour later, when the elevation of the ground below us increased as the mountains were approached, we were again just skimming the mesquite and cactus. At last it was necessary for Klink to heave his gas can over the side and for me to turn the ship down a ravine to keep from striking the ground. It was disappointing enough to leave the first can at Brooks Field, but I do not believe Klink will ever forget the sight of the second as i it burst on the ground below us. Some time later w£ came to the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

West Nueces River and, mistaking it for the Rio Grande, turned north. We had been cutting across country, but had hardly flown long enough to have reached the Rio Grande. The Rio Grande was the only river, according to my map, with a railroad running along the northeast bank. We followed the West Nueces to Camp Wood where the rails ended. By that time I knew that the map was in error and we were on the wrong course, but as there was insufficient fuel remaining to warrant our cutting across the mountains to the west, we landed in a small sheep pasture near Barksdale. This pasture was not large enough for us both to take off together so Islew r the ship over to Camp Wood alone and landed in the town square. With the wind blowing from the right direction, and by taking off under two telephone lines and over one road, the square afforded a long enough runway, provided the wind was blowing from the proper direction.

GLORIOUS HEALTH OBTAINED BY USE OF NEW KONJOLA Owes Amazing Relief From Stomach Trouble To Herb Remedy, Says Local Lady. "The high praise this new Konjola medicine is receiving from the residents of Indianapolis and surrounding communities is only as I expected,” said the Konjola Man the other day at the Hook drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., where

.MRS. LOUISA KING he is interviewing the public and 1 explaining the merits of Konjola. “I predicted when I came to Indian- i apolis that the citizens of tliis city would soon recognize the unusual ability of Konjola to relieve the common ailments such as stomach, j liver and kidney troubles or rheumatism or neuritis. Now my predic- l tiens have come true because there! is not a day that I don't receive , startling statements from people in j Indianapolis telling of the relief j they gained from health troubles' through the use of Konjola. As an example, the other day Mrs. i Louisa King, well-known Indianapolis lady, living at 1106 North Gale j Street, told the Konjola Man how this new compound helped her. “It seemed to me that I would never be able to end my troubles,’’ said Mrs. King. “For a long time I suffered intense miseries from stomach and kidney troubles, besides high blood pressure. When I took Konjola, I immediately knew that this was the medicine I had always needed and now I have regained my health and I owe it ail to Konjolm “There was not a day that I did; not suffer awful pains across myj back from my kidneys. Sometimes i they were so intense I would be un- | able to move about the house. Then ! when I needed my rest most of all,! II would have to rise numerous | ! times during the night. That broke j | up my sleep and I was always com-1 pletely tired out in the day. My stomach was in such a bad condi- j tion that I had to be very careful j what I ate, even then the little j food I did eat would cause terrific! suffering. After each meal the food j would form in the pit of my stom-J ach and feel like a heavy lump. Gas j and bloating spells would come over j me and often I would be so dizzy If would have to hold on to something to keep from falling. This gas I would press against my heart, mak- j j ing it flutter and palpitate so hard | that I thought it would stop beat- j ing. My blood pressure was way I above normal and I was afraid it! would have very serious results on 11 me. All these miseries worried me I so much that I was getting worse and worse every day, and I could J not find anything to help me. “When I first started taking Kon- j jola I thought it would be like the other medicines I had taken. The first bottle convinced me that it' was the medicine I always needed. J My health has improved in every; way and I can hardly realize that I! ever had a sick day in my life. My I stomach is normal and I can eat whatever I want without fear of bad results. My blood pressure has been reduced so much that I am never bothered with it. Konjola strengthened my kidneys so that. I never l;ave to rise at night and my sleep is sound and restful. “Konjola is a wonderful medicine and I can't say enough for It. I shall recommend this medicine every chance I get.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily I meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is being sold in large quantities at all Hook drug stores and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.—Advert ieamejA

SCHOOL BOMB TRIALRUSHEB Jury to Be Completed and Cases Outlined Today. By United Press OTTAWA, 111., Feb. 22.—Opening statements of State and defense attorneys were expected to be completed today in the bombing trial of Hiram Reed, 24, charged with attempting to kill his school teacher sweetheart, lola Bradford, by placing a dynamite bomb in the stove in her schoolroom. Eight men were definitely accepted for the jury and three others were parsed tentatively when court convened. Little delay in completing the jury was expected. Judge Frank Haynes announced court would adjourn immediately upon completion of opening statements, to allow Defense Attorney George Springer to keep another engagement. Miss Bradford was disfigured per-

RESTFUL EASE AFTER COUGHING “The result of using Foley’s Honey and Tar for a dreadful cough, daytime and at night, was a restful one for me," says Mrs. Anne Davison, Long Beach, Cal.

Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound puts a healing, soothing coating on a rough, inflamed throat, and immediately eases the irritation that causes the hard coughs. Dependable. Ask for it.—Advertisement.

In a letter published in a recent issue of the New York Sun, the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association says this about colds: “This is the season for colds—yes ‘common’ colds. But like many other things that are called ‘common’ because they are so frequent, colds are no trifle—far from it. “Colds take more dollars and cents out of the workers pocket in one year than any other sickness. They are responsible for a greater loss of time from school and work than any other single cause. “Colds lead to very serious diseases * * * * . “Here are the big preventives: Plain, nourishing food; plenty of sleep; six glasses of water a day; frequent bathing (to train the skin to stand changes in temperature) ; sensible clothing; breathing through the nose; keeping the feet dry; plenty of fresh air by night as well as by day ”****. Y hen you feel a cold coming on, stop at a drug store and get a box of Hill’s Cascara-Bromide-Quinine, the tablets in the red box. Take a couple immediately and cold will break up in 24 hours. Hill’s ends a cold quickly because it does the four necessary thing? at one time: Stops the cold, checks the fever, opens the bowels, tones the syj tern. Costs only 30 cents. —Advertisement.
