blowing hard, and suddenly decided
that I would wait for calmer
weather before making any more
flights and TAXED back to the
hangar.
A pilot who was waiting for
delivery Of one of the Jennies
offered to give me little dual in
Struction, and I flew around with
him for thirty minutes and made
several landings.
AT the end of this time he TAXED
up to the line and told me that
/ would have no trouble and was
only a little rusty from not flying
recently.
He advised me to wait until eve
ming, when the air was smooth, and
then to make few solo flights.
When evening came TAXED out
from the line, took one last look at
the instruments and took off on nv
first solo.
The first solo flight is one of the
events in a pilot life which for
ever remains impressed on his
memory.
1t Is the elimination Of difficult
hours of instruction, hard weeks of
training and often years of anticipa-
ton.
To be absolutely alone for the
first time in the cockpit of a plane
hundreds of feet above the ground
is an experience never to be for
gotten.
After a week Of practice flights
around Southern Field I rolled my
equipment and few spare parts
up in blanket, dashed them in
the front cockpit and took off for
Minnesota.
This was my first cross country
fight alone, less than a week after
my solo hop. Altogether I had
less than five hours of solo time
to my credit.
had, however, obtained invalu-
able experience the year before
while flying around in the Western
States with Biffle, BAIL and Lynch.
Flies to Texas
While learning to fly in Nebraska
the previous spring discovered that
nearly every pilot in existence had
flown in Texas at one time or
another during his flying career.
Accordingly, decided that at the
first opportunity would fly to Texas
myself and, although l travelled a
rather roundabout way from
Georgia to Minnesota, my course
passed through TeXarkana en- route.
The first hop was from Americas
to Montgomery, Ala, and passed
over some fairly rough. territory, of
which both Georgia and Alabama
have their share.
I had been warned before leaving
the field that the airline course to
Texas was over some of the worst
flying country in the South" and
had been advised to take either a
northern course directly to Min
nesota or to follow the Gulf OF
Mexico.
This advice served to create a
desire to find out what the worst
flying country in the South" looked
like. I had a great deal of con-
fidence in my Jenny with its power
full OX-5 engine, and it seemed
absurd to me at that time to detour
by airplane.
Consequently, laid my route in
the most direct line possible to con-
form with my limited cruising range
with forty gallons of fuel.

Not Useful in His Line

"Parachutes," he replied, "are
useful in military maneuverS, for
nations, test flights and in air mail
work, but L don't consider them of
any particular use in straightaway
passenger flying Of the type I have
been making.
IT consider it perfectly feasible to
put a plane down safely without
personal injury to the pilot, espe-
cially if the planes gas tanks are
in front of him, as they are in the
Spirit of st. Louis, and if the plane
has low landing speed.
1T is entirely feasible to make a
landing in a tree without serious
injury to the pilot"
It was apparent that he believed
and he said so-that he could
have made a safe forced landing
almost anywhere during his good
will tour.
What do you believe would have
been the consequences of a forced
landing Of the Spirit of st. Louis
during one of your over water
flights on the tour?" he was asked.

In the Stock Market
tBy Thomson g. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE stock
market turned without any big
headlines advertising the fact or
electric signs over the highways
telling the public that it had turned.
1t never does it that way. However,
we don't believe that we have a
state of affairs that warrants that
intense bearish feeling that in times
past played such a big part in has
tening the decline. We have bet
ter business outlook today than we
had at the beginning of last year,
and we have poorer market out
look than we had at that time.
This may strike a good many as
rather paradoxical, but it is fact,
and the explanation is that the
stock market simply went beyono
the warrant of earnings and a great
many stocks went beyond the war
rant of dividends, and now as we
are getting into the season OF earn
ings statements, the stock market
is trying to get itself in order, and
we are of opinion that it will take
some little while to do this, ana
we would continue to liquidate some
stocks on the little bulges. We
don't think there will be any big
ones until something occurs to
scare the shorts.

CLOSE AUTO MEETING
800 Chevrolet Dealers Hear
Plans for Year.

Eight hundred Chevrolet dealers
from throughout the State attended
a banquet at the Claypool Monday
night which marked the closing of
an all-day meeting at the Murat
theater in which 1928 plans we're
discussed.
The dealers were guests of ]. H.
Klinger, general sales manager of
the Chevrolet Company, and A. F.
Young, regional sales manager. Two
car loads of special scenery were
imported to adequately present
tableau designed to show how in
creased sales may be made.
In his principal address Klinger
said that in addition to the added
trade activity promised for 1928.
there are four factors concerning
the automobile business which seem
to indicate that the industry is be-
ginning it's greatest year. They are:
l. The replacement market, which
should be the greatest in the history
of the industry.
2. The two-car family that started
several years ago and became an i'm
portant factor in 1927.
3. The extended Use of smaller
cars for commercial purposes.
4. Increased export sales of
American cars as a result of the
reimbursement of business and eco
nomic conditions.

BODY OF YOUNG
BANDIT FOUND
Youth Shot Sunday Night in
Chase by Cops.

Police went into the lead in the
crime war against bandits today
with the discovery of the body Of a
youthful bandit shot in escaping
from police Sunday night after a
hold-up.
Only two. hold-ups were staged
Monday night. Loot was only $27.
The bandits body was found in an
abandoned sedan near Big Eagle
Greek and near 400 w. Michigan
st. by three boys late Monday. 1t
was definitely established that the
youth was shot by either Patrolman
Funk or Wilson as they chased the
auto containing five men east on
Tenth st. in a car they had COM
wandered from a passing motorist.
They had noticed the auto was the
same as that used in hold-up Of a
pedestrian at Forty-Fourth st. and
Park Ave. The police car was out
distanced at Tibbs Ave.
The bullet pierced the rear win
dow in the sedan and entered the
head of the youth as he sat i'll the
front seat with the driver. Police
are hunting his four companions.
A pedestrian and a grocer were
the victims of bandits Monday night.
Roy Babbitt, manager of the At
lantbc and Pacific grocery at 1146
S. Meridian ST., was robbed of $25
by a lone bandit. A. T. Baumb,
IT'S Ashland Ave, was held up by
another lone masked bandit at
Broadway and Eighteenth st. and
robbed of 81 or SO.

INDIANA CORN POOR
Farm Bureau Sees Smaller,
Poorer Quality Crop.

The 1927 corn crop in Indiana
does not come up to a normal crop,
according to reports pouring into the
Indiana Farm Bureau Office, at In
dianapolis. contrary to a state
ment issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture in De-
cember, stating that the crop num-
bered nearly 100,000,000 more bushels
in the United States than in 1926.
Farm Bureau leaders believe it to
be smaller crop than last year and
more inferior quality. They base
their claims ON the unprecedented
heavy demand at the headquarters
for corn and from the reports of
shipped-in corn from western States
in greater quantities than fol- sever
al years.
They place the saleable amount of
corn in the State not to exceed 40
per cent Of a normal crop.
Stock feeders from all sections of
the State report the corn crop as
containing very low feeding values.

Grain FUTURES
SLOW; CHANGE
is ONLY SLIGHT
Tone Firm Throughout Day,
but Pits Lack In
tereSt.
By United Press

ny CHtttU 1853
CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Grain prices
showed very little change as a re-
suit of today'S session on the Chi
cago Board of Trade. The tone was
firm, but there was not sufficient
interest in any pit to start a real
rally. Late in the day wheat and
corn were a small fraction higher
on some deliveries, while oats had
lost slightly.
The wheat market was narrow and
very dull. News was lacking, al
though higher Liverpool cables
firmed the market just after the
opening.
Corn shared the dullness of wheat,
although showing a little more
strength during the morning. Ex-
ports of around $4,000 bushels were
reported and bids at the gulf were
higher than Monday.
There was heavy realizing in oats
by local professionals, who bought
at much lower prices a few days
ago.
Provisions worked lower.

The transatlantic radio telephone
service, now linked with the subma-
rine telephone cable under the Eng
lish Channel to Belgium, was
opened for commercial service Jan.
7 of last year between New York
and London. 1t was gradually ex-
tended on both sides of the Allan
tic until on March 26 it included all
of the United States and Cuba, ana
on the other side, England, Scotland
and Wales. At first only four ana
one-half hours Of service daily was
offered, which has since been ex-
tended to the present ten and one
half hours daily.
The complete circuit includes g.
100 miles Of radio circuit, at least
1875 miles of land telephone cir
cult, and at least sixty miles o.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Stocks ex-
hibited better tone in early deal
igS today, with strength developing
in General Motors. Other leading
issues moved up with motors, and
after fairly steady opening re-
sumption of the advance was under
way. Trading was quieter at the
outset.
General Motors opened at 1917
and then advanced to 1925, up rs
net. United States Steel, after cas-
ing % from its opening, spurted to
145%, up IL from the previous
close. Oil issues paid no attention
to higher production of crude and
lower gasoline prices. They we're
being accumulated for the long pull
on expectations of improvement in
this years business. Rails were
quiet.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
Strong support for pivotal issues
on Mondays drive indicated that
interests sponsoring these stocks had
undiminished confidence in the
markets underlying soundness. This
suggestion caused the extension in
early dealings of the covering move
ment which developed just before
the previous close.
