To appreciate how much at home Lindbergh is in the air," they continue, "and his sang froui and ability to observe essentials under the most trying conditions, we shall quote from his own report ol whut hupjsencd when bis pursuit plane of the SFL5 type collided with one of the other eight planes with which he was flying in a formation attack over Kelly Field." ?> Then follows Lindbergh's matter of ract report to his superiors: "A nine-hip SE-6 formation, commanded by Lieutenant Hlackburn, was attacking a DH4B flown by Lieutenant Maughan at about a 5,000 foot altitude and several hundred feet above the clouds. "I was flying on the left side of the top unit, Lieutenant McAllister on my right and ( adet Love leading. When we nosed down on the I>M I attacked from the left and Lieutenant McAllister from the right. After Cadet Love pulled up I continued to dive at the D.

The parachute functioned perfectly. Almost as soon as I had pulled the rip cord the risers jerked on my shoulders, the leg straps tightened, my head went down and the chute was fully opened. "1 saw Lieutenant McAllister floating above me and the wrecked ships about lot) yards to one sale, continuing to spin to the right and leaving a trail of fragments along their path. 1 watched them until, still locked together. they crashed in the mesquite about 2,000 feet below and burst into flame several seconds after impact. "Next I turned my attention to locating a landing place. 1 was over mesquite and drifting in the general direction of a ploughed field, which I reached by slipping chute. Shortly before striking the ground I was drifting backward, but was able to swing around in the harness just as I landed on the side of a ditch, less than a hundred feet from the edge of the mesquite. "Although my impact of landing was too great for me to remain standing, 1 was not injured in any way. The parachute was still held open by the wind, and did not collapse until I pulled one of a group of shroud lines. "During the descent I lost my goggles." concluded Lindbergh's report.

From House to House Li ra! merchants in many an Anu-ilean city haw tried to discover a wav to stop huu-e to house sale-men making canvasses < f 'heir tow: - and sell.ng morcnandiso .n conijH'tr Ion w ith them. Inasmuch as these salesmen usually represent out of state firms, their activity comes within the range of interstate commerce and the United States Supreme Court has recently held thaU n municipal ordinance requiring a written permit from . the police department for such salesmen and the payment of certain fees were unauthorized burdens upon such trade. Another decision of the Supreme Court which will be interesting to towns and cities was that which upheld the right of a municipality to i enact zoning regulations for the con| struction of buildings. The city of [ Los Angeles had refused to permit f two citizens to erect business build\ ings on property zoned as residential. | These brought suit, alleging that their I rights under the Fourteenth Amend} ment had been transgressed.

There is, however, one service ex tended by installments that is litt! advertised, scarcely understood, an inter criticised. It is installment in testing. The ramifications of modern lif an so complex and so varied; the do mamls on the average small incom so tremendous, and the temptation toward luxuries so effective that th avtiage young man only thinks o the future when forced to do so, an only saves fur the future under th pressure of an absolute obiigatioi Tluis it is that easy pay, installmen investing has a very important par to play and a great service to rende to humanity. Building and loan associations, er tirely eliminating the element of spec ulatiuii and gambling, and offerin every inducement and ericouragcmer to the man of modes ate means, ar making great strides toward the ei tahlishment of the principle <>f thrii :n the heart of the modern man.

True, wo have our many forms of safe investments that have been of0 fored by our financial and industrial institutions generally for many \oars ( past; und it is true that the young I s men and women have used them ex tensively; but no form of safe investf merit so meely fits itself into the nature of existing circumstances as c' the easy installment building and loan. Its payments are adjusted t d suit (lie income and it fits itself into d the budget of the average household r >0 well that it easily becomes a natural, helpful and often almost forgotten fi>rm of saving. And so when we forget ourselves K and are prune to dolefully proclaim d the sins of the present age, and d* lament the awful effect of installment '* extravagances, let us consider the en'* courngement. praiseworthy and stabilising effect of installments through x' the building and loans of our nation.
