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. H. for a short time before pulling
up to the left. 1 saw no ship near by.
1 passed above the DM and a moment
later felt a slight jolt, followed
by a crash. My head was thrown forward
against the cowling and my

"Next I turned my attention to locating

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.

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.

I iniueslionably, the easy pay men
has at times seemed to encoUl
igo extravagance, ami lias induce*
mmv of us to l.ve far hey olid ou i

I the more frugal a tendency to ofit

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.
Few citizens thoroughly appreciat
lh? great force of the building an
loan idea in training our young me
and women to he frugal and though
ful <d" the future. Few know of tl'
millions of dollars saved by buildin
and loan associations for youn
Ameiicans each year?mill.oris thi
therwise would have been spent f<
the many alluring luxuries that temj
mi every hand.
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.
Let us think of the urge, stimulation
n and slight obligation <>f the build*

1,1 steadiness and faithfulness, and is dels
veloping our men and women of modK
irate income into a nation of efficient
