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 new plane for a test
flight. The plane flew satisfactor-
lily for time, and then Lindbergh
began putting it through a series
of loops and turns, designed to
prove the -worthiness of the
machine.
At $500 feet Lindbergh sent the
plane into a tail spin. 1t came spin
ming 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, un-
til only $50 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 en-
tirely and when flying field attend
ants came up, Lindbergh's nose was
bleeding and they feared he was
severely injured.
Defective design somewhere,
spoke up Lindbergh. II couldn't
come out of that tail spin. Little
close, too"
He busted 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 de-
partment 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
is, 1925, and had been rated as q
pilot and given commission as g
second lieutenant in the army all
corps reserve. On receiving his COM
mission he outfitted himself in the
uniform of his rank, was photo
graphed and until he Joined the
Missouri National Guard approx
mately a year later thought nc
more of military flying.
A glance through his record al
Kelly Field shows that his standing
there was remarkable. In II OF the
"a subjects in which he was exam
ined, his standing was rated as Eek
cellent," in five as very good" anc
in one, property accounting, al

ton and with radio his marks were
around 90, and in only six subjects
was he below 80.
On leaving Kelly Field he headed
for ST. Louis, a place he had visited
once previously. That was in Oc'
tober, 1928, when he arrived alone
and unheralded-as always-in &
decrepit appearing old biplane ane
entered it in the International All
Race. He then had been flying les
than two years.

The Canadian Province Of Ontario has
ent eontggo law for nine me- DAYS The
United Press offers herewith the hrst
of two stories designed to show what the
prohibition" has been. The second story
will be carried tomorrow from WINDSOR

TORONTO. June g. Ontario.
which can take its prohibition or
leave it, is consuming its liquor at
a reported rate of 100000 a day,
after nine days of legal sale of alco-
holic beverages by the government.
The thirst, developed during eleven
years of prohibition, has proved
hard to satisfy. After more than
week of open sale, long lines OF
customers OF 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 subsidized slight
~ this week, however, and D. B.
Hanna, chairman of the liquor COM
mission, predicted the sale of liquor
would settle down in a few more
days to as dull a routine as the re-
failing of groceries.
Observers in Doubt
1t still is too early to draw any
definite conclusions from Ontario's
experience with Government-con-
trolled liquor sale. Dry leaders OBJ
serve a demoraliznig tendency and
vets 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 /, when
the new law became effective, and
sixty intoxication cases-a record
were reported over the first week
end, but vets insisted that was due
to the first rush and would not con-
tinue. Drys had their doubts.
BootIeggers Profit
Bootlegging remained a problem
with one prominent illicit liquor
dealer said to have twenty agents
in line daily, buying whisky at So a
bottle to be sold few hours later
at SIS.
Bootleggers also were reported
continuing to do a big business in
beer, which costs II cents a pint
at the government stores and must
be bought by the case.
The liquor commission was keep
ing 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 vendors will
be able to keep bootleggers' agents
from obtaining enough liquor to be
OF any value.
Tourist Effect Watched
"A great change in the type of GUS
toner has been observed since the
government stores opened. At first,
hundreds of the applicants were I'M
able 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 OF
visitors crossing the border.

A VIOLIN RECITAL.

Herman c. Rakemann, well known
local teacher of stringed instruments,
presented his pupils in a violin recital
last night at the Gunston Hall School,
pleasing and varied program was
offered. including two stringed quartet
numbers and a violin and viola duet.
One of the most promising of Mr.
aakemann's pupils appeared to be
Young Herbert Diamond, whose num-
bers were the "Serenade," by Schu-
hert-Elman, "In the Cane Brake" by
Gardner, and "Etude Melodidue," by
Nolk. His playing won the hearts of
his audience. Virginia Croker gave
a finished performance of the entire
group in her rendition of the "Dirge
OF the North" by Balogh- Kreisler, and
The Bee" by Schubert. Every note
was firm and clear, and she seemed
sure OF herself throughout her per-
Torrance. Another young girl who
deserves special credit is Bella Dodek,
who presented Chopin's ''Nocturne,
Opus 9, No. g." Her runs in this
selection were unusually good. She
was accompanied on the piano by
Fanny Dodek. Other pupils on the
program were Betty Basin, in Para
disc" by Kreisler; ga
Vote in Major" by Beethoven
Kramer; Catherine Birch, in "Prel-

MANISTEE, Mich, April a.
Richard G. Peters, pioneer lumber
man, who set about at the age of 95
to build his third fortune, died here
yesterday with his dream unfulfilled.
Peters was once considered the
wealthiest lumberman in Michigans
but died practically penniless. Start.
ing at Manistee in 1867 with S. 900 he
saved while he was foreman of mills
at Au Sable and Ludington, Mich,
Peters in 10 years built up fortune
of more than $4,000 900. His ventures
in other fields grew beyond his
management. however, and in 1897 he
was forced to assign all his holdings.
Then in six years he paid off more
than $2,250,000 in debts and started
again.
His second fortune was swept away
about 10 years ago. His widow and
several nephews and nieces survive.
He was the oldest member of the
Knights of Pythias in Michigan.

Norris has been regarded as the guild.

membership is principally from West.

When the Nebraska Senator steps

SONG COMPOSER FEATURED.

Lucy d. Marx. a Washington So
prano, was featured in the double
role of singer and composer III the
weekly program yesterday given be.
fore the members Of the Friday Morn.
ing Music Club. In spite of the ex-
ceedingly inclement weather, a size
able audience listened and seemed
much interested in the concert. Mrs.
Marx, whose voice retains a few
traces of a severe cold which she suf-
fered recently, opened the program
with group of three songs for chill
dren dedicated to her own three small
girls. The true spirit of childhood
ideas and attitudes on life and play
is admirably presented in both the
verses and melody of the songs. 1.-THE
Little Sportsman" and Mothers" es-
pecially have this quality of seeming
from the child's own point of view.
They should make excellent numbers
on a children's program. The other
group of Mrs. Marks songs included
numbers of a more pretentious nature.
There was a lovely lullaby, a song
latter the Rubaiyat," called Delight S
Garden" and an original song ad-
mirably suited to her own voice, 1.-THE
Wind" Mrs. Paul Bleyden was, as
usual, fine accompanist.
The other singers on the program
was a young meZZo-contralto, Mary
Apple, who has a rich quality of
voice, and great possibilities for fur
Their development. Her first member
was "Serenade" by Liebe, with violin
obligato by Mrs. Dickey, well.known
local violinist. 1t was in Lalo's beauti-
full "L'Esclave" and the two Indian
members, especially "Embers'' by
I.ohr, that Miss Apple seemed to find
more her type of song with melody
so handled that it particularly suited
the timbre of her voice. Her Blan-
ket," Navajo Indian song with set
ing by L1eurance, was very interest
ing in the melancholy of it's theme
md the native music motive. One
caught traces of the Water of Mime
tonka,' by the same composer, all
through the accompaniment, however,
and 1t was peculiar in it's complete
lack of legato as sung. The Indians,
themselves, do sing in a choppy fash.
ion, to considerable extent and it is
probable that this was suggested in
the spaced phrasing of each phrase in
this song. Christopher Tenley was a
very good accompanist.
The piano numbers were contributed
by the young artist, Caroline Bender
She, too, featured works that would
