James stared at him, and the detec-

night flying between those two
cities. The route was not lighted in

Lindbergh always seemed ready to
60. He would take the air with the
mail when no one else cared to 60

his record showed that he had de-
livered the mail at its destination
with as great regularity as had fliers
on many Of the well-lighted routes.
Fog, snow and sleet all were met
and overcome by him and it was in
this treacherous flying that he gained
much of the skill which permitted
him to outwit a sleet storm in the
North Atlantic while flying to Paris.

GROWING venture, the fight to Paris.
He joined a group of brother avia-

flying field. There he settled down
to the exacting life of commercial

THINKS LIFE MAY
YET BE Created
Sir Oliver Lodge Sees Power Of
Science

London, June 9.-JP)-Sir DIV
err Lodge, noted physicist. believes
life may some day be created in
laboratories by biologists. he told
the Oxford university psychological
society last night.
From some points of view, l re-
gard it as inevita ble." he said.
Sir Oliver said life is dependent
on matter and chemical and physi-
cal energy for its manifestation and
development.
Many organic compounds" he
continued. those in living organs or
secreted by them have already been
made in the laboratory, beginning
with urea and continuing up to
sugar starch and numerous other
compounds.
For that reason, it has some
times been said by students of Or
ganic chemistry and by biochemists
studying protOplasm that if we
could contrive in the laboratory to
continue manufacturing these or
ganic compounds until we made
mass protoplasm. and were able to
subject it TO suitable treatment, they
would expect that artificial proto-
plasm to exhibit vitality and mani
fest one or another form of life.
This can be regarded as an in
evitable contention because, first,
living things have appeared on this
planet, and second, this planet was
at one time a molten mass OF
material or even glowing gas
wherein life as we know it was i'm
possible. Hence 1t would appear that
something similar to that which oc-
Cured in the past may be occurring
at present. and may possibly be un-
derstood. controlled. and humanity

CHAPTER NINE

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 a new plane for test flight. The
plane flew satisfactorily for a time
and then Lindbergh began putting 1t
through a series Of loops and turns.
designed to prove the air-worthiness
of the machine.
At $500 feet Lindbergh sent the
plane into a tail spin. 1t came spin
ming down but as 1t approached the
earth 1t failed to respond to the
controls and continued it's giddy
plunge.
Lindbergh stayed with the ship.
fighting to get it righted again. until
only 250 feet from the ground.
Leaps From Plane
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
few yards away. The drop had been
SO short the parachute had not had
time to break the fall entirely and
when flying field attendants 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
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
pilot and given a commission as a
second lieutenant in the army air
corps reserve. On receiving his
commission he QUILTED himself In
