COL. CHAS. A. LINDBERGH'S OWN LIFE STORYXi£.

THE STORY SO FAR i.sid'--rr; completed his education at the University of Wisconsin and learned fly ir> an aviation school. He purchased and fleiv two planes on several harasiorraintr trips before entering Brooks field as a cadet. He graduated as a second lieutenant from Kelly field and made several other barnstorming trips while waiting for a job in the air mail service. After being forced out of the Paeific-to-Atlantic air race by a bad plane, Tindbcrgh became an instructor for the Robertson Aircraft Corporation at St. Louis. He then made preparations for the opening of the air mail routes in the rpring. The first r.'r me.il was carried by Lindbergh on May 15, l!):J3. Flying conditions wet? difficult because of the lack of bacon I.gilts end good landing fields, fjr.ciy's first forced landing as an air mail pilot came Sept. 16, If>C6. CHAPTER XXIII W'IIEN the wreck was inspected a few- days later it was discovered that a mechanic had removed the 110-gallon gasoline tank to repair a leak and had replaced it with an eighty-five-gallon tank without notifying anyone of the change. Consequently instead of being able to return to our field at Peoria. 111., and clear visibility, I ran out of fuel still over the fog bank.

Window Trimmer Offering Praise ForNewKonjola Young Indianapolis Man Says This Medicine Ended His Stomach Trouble and v Nsrvousness. Thousands of Indianapolis people have found hew, glorious health in this celebrated Konjola medicine, which is being sold through the Hock drug stores of this city. Borides the general public, many of the pharmacists and employes of the Hook Drug Company have ta-

kon Kcnjola themselves, because they know what this medicine has done ’for others and they know it i is the first remedy of its kind to receive over a thousand written indorsements from Indianapolis people. Among the many employes of Hook’s who are strongly recommending Konjola. probably none is better known than Mr. Carl H. Williamson, a young Indianapolis man, living at 812 East 66th street, this c.'ty, Mr. Williamson is a window decorator. He travels from one Hook store to another, and his work c "ten takes him out of town. Many o; the Hook window displays, showing bargains in drugs and medicines, are the work of Mr. Williamson. His own statement about the wonderful relief Konjola has given him appears as follows: “My job calls for steady nerves,” said Mr. Williamson. “And I was always in the best of health and feeling fine until about six months ago. I began losing weight and going down in general. My nerves seemed to be on edge all the time. I didn't know what it was to get a full night of rest, and when I got up in the morning I felt so exhausted and tired that I could hardly go on with my work. Besides this nervousness, I began having trouble with my stomach. I seemed to have no appetite, and just a little food would upset my stomach. Everything I ate disagreed with me and I would suffer with indigestion pains of the worst kind, and would often become so bloated with gas that I could hardly breathe. Sometimes I had dizzy spells and was subject to headaches almost every day. All of these miseries kept dragging me down until my health was dwindling away.

“Os course, I knew a lot about Konjola and heard several people praise this medicine, but somehow I never got started on it until after 'I had tried some special prescriptions and other medicines, which did me no good, whatever. I made up my mind to try Konjola, and now I realize that it is just the medicine I should have taken about six months ago. It seemed to go right to the source of my trouble, because after a few doses I was able to eat a lot more and my digestion was improving. I~ a little ■while i was able to sleep 'iike a log’ from the time I went to bed until I got up. This medicine certainly strengthened my nerves. It also stopped the dizzy spells and headaches. I don’t have a touch of indigestion any more. In fact, I have greater energy than I ever had in the past two years. My work seems ten times easier, and I feel good at the end of a hard day at my trade. Yes, Konjola is a wonderful medicine, and besides myself, I know there are a thousand other people right here in Indianapolis who have said the same thing. We all strongly recommend Konjola.” The Konjola Man is at the Hook drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaning the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold at all the Hook drug stores in Indianapolis and other good druggists everywhere.—Advertisement.

jump were almost similar to those of the third. I took off from the Lambert-St. Louis field at 4:20 p. m„ made a five-minute stop at Springfield, 111., an hour later to take on mail, and then headed for Peoria. Weather reports telephoned to St. Louis earlier in the afternoon gave flying conditions as entirely passable. About twenty-five miles north of Springfield darkness was encountered, the ceiling had lowered to around 400 feet and a light snow was falling. At South Pekin the forward visibility cf ground lights from a 150foot altitude was less than half a mile, and over Pekin the town lights were indistinct from 200 feet above. After passing Pekin the plane Was flown at an altimeter reading of 600 feet for about five minutes, when the lightness of the haze below indicated that it was over Peoria. Twice I could see lights on the ground and I descended to less than 200 feet before they disappeared from view. I tried to bank around one group of lights, but was unable to turn quickly enough to keep in sight. After circling in the vicinity of Pejoria for thirty-minutes I decided to try and find better weather conditions by flying northeast toward Chicago. I had ferried a ship from Chicago to St. Louis in the early afternoon, at which time the ceiling and visibility were much better near Chicago than anywhere else along the route. Enough gasoline for about an hour and ten minutes’ flying remained in the gas tank and twenty minutes in the reserve, hardly enough to return to St. Louis even had I been able to navigate directly to the field by dead reckoning and flying blind the greater portion of the way. The territory toward Chicago was much more favorable for a night landing than that around St. Louis. For the next half hoiu*the flight northeast was at about 2,000 feet altitude and then at 600 feet. There were now numerous breaks in the clouds and occasionally ground lights could be seen from over 500 feet. After passing over the light of a small town a fairly clear space in the clouds was encountered. I pulled up to about 600 feet, released the parachute flare, whipped the ship around to get into the w'ind and under the flare which lit at once. Instead of floating down slowly, however, it dropped like a rock. I could see the ground for only an instant and then there was total darkness. Meantime the ship was in a steep bank and being blinded by the intense light I had trouble righting it. An effort to find the ground with the wing lights was in vain, as their glare was worse than useless in the haze. When about ten minutes of gas remained in the pressure tank and still not the faintest outline of any object on the ground could be seen

I decided to leave the ship rather than : teiru.t to land blindly. I turned back southwest toward less populated country and started climbing in an attempt to get over the clouds before jumping. The main tank went dry at 7:50 p. m. and the reserve twenty minutes later. The altimeter then registered approximately 14,000 feet, yet the top of the clouds was apparently several thousand feet higher. Rolling the stabilizer back I cut out the switches, pulled the ship up into a stall and was about to go over the right side of the cockpit when the right wing began to drop. In this position the plane would gather speed and spiral to the right, possibly striking the parachute after its first turn. I returned to the controls, righted the plane and then dove over the left side of the cockpit while the air speed registered about seventy miles per hour and the altimeter 13,000 feet. The rip cord was pulled immediately after clearing the stabilizer. The Irving chute functioned perfectly. I left the ship head first and was falling in this position , when the risers whipped me around into an upright position and the chute opened. The last I saw of the DH was as it disappeared into the clouds just after the chute opened. It was snowing and very cold. For the first minute or so the parachute descended smoothly and then commenced an excessive oscillation which continued for about five minutes and which could not be checked.

EASILY UPSET AND IN CONSTANT PAIN “Words Cannot Tell the Good That Cardi:i Did Me,’* Says Tennessee Lady, Who Had Been Badly Run-Down. “I got very much run-down and suffered a lot of pain,” says Mrs. Minnie Parson, 1409 Eighth Ave., North, Nashville, Tenn. "My back ached all the time with a dull pain. “This went on for some time. My nerves got worse and worse. I was easily upset. The least little thing would set me off. I was hysterical. I worried a lot. It seemed like I could not get on my feet. I often thought if I could get started on the road to health I would be all right, but somehow I could not get started. “I worried along, suffering and suffering, until one day it occurred to me that Cardui might be a good medicine to try. “I began to take Cardui, hoping that it would help me, and, sure enough, I soon began to improve. Words can not tell the good it did me. After a course of the Cardui Home Treatment, I felt like a different person. I got stronger and was able to do my work without help. I give Cardui all the credit. I took seven boitles before I stooped. I gained in weight. My face filled out and my friends said I looked fine. “My health has been good ever since.”

ness of tlie chute to the ground was a gradual darkening of the space below. The snow had turned to rain and, although the chute was thoroughly soaked, its oscillation had greatly decreased. I directed the beam from my 500fcot spotlight downward, but the ground appeared so suddenly that I landed directly on top of a barbed wire fence ’-Athout seeing ;t. The fence helped to breau the fall and the barbs did not penetrate my heavy flying suit. The chute was blown over the fence and was held open for some time by the gusts of wind before collapsing.

COMPLETE HOME-STUDY COURSE OF BOYD 30-DAY SHORTHAND As Taught By the AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STENOGRAPHY Inc. 939 K. of P. Bldg. Indianapolis, Ind. —OFFER CLOSES TOMORROW—

*The Boyd System of Shorthand has been in use for twenty-seven years and its writers hold the world record for speed and accuracy. It has been taught since 1001 and is now successfully used by thousands throughout the world. Boyd Shorthand is not anew or mysterious method of writing, but a practical system based on simplicity, speed and accuracy and a principal different from any other system. The Boyd system is based on syllables, as is the method now used in public schools to teach spelling. It is the system which makes characters represent syllables rather than single letters. The advantage of this will at once appeal to the thinking critic of shorthand systems. It has torn away the old veil of mystery and made the study clear and easy. It produces clear headed and confident writers who are not weighted down with a burden of rules and their necessary exceptions. Boyd Students Start Writing Shorthand in One Week and Rapidly Develop Remarkable Speed Because: 1— There are only nine characters and three easy rules to learn. 2No back hand movements, dots or shading is used. 3 There are no word signs and it is not like lcarnin a foreign language. 4 You receive book and class clarified instructions. slt is easy to learn, easy to write und hard to forget. 6 You can read your notes months after they have been written—in fact they never get cold, 7lt is the modern shorthand. This entire system has developed around the fact that there are approximately 112 syllables in written and spoken English and of this number 50 are rarely used. This leaves approximately 62 which make up threefourths of our English of today.

This cut shows the simplicity o( Boyd System The first TWO lessons of Boyd Shorthand covers 112 syllables which can be easily learned in a few hours of study because the characters are so arranged that when a student learns 16 syllables he practically knows 80. This explains how the student with a few weeks of study can attain a speed of a hundred words per minute and by subsequent practice can be increased to 200 words per minute. Boyd Shorthand is such an improvement over the “Old-Fashioned” methods that the American Institute of Stenography now have several students who find it easier to learn this “International Standard System’’ than to attempt to “brush up” or review a system they have previously studied.
