In the Stock Market
,,,,, ,By Thomson 4 McKinnon,

BY Thomson IL McKinnonl
NEW YORK, Feb. Don't you
think it looked rather cloudy at the
close Friday? The bull machine
worked fine for a couple of hours
during the day, but there was no
staying power as of old. The reason
is that there was an increasing re-
Sistance. 1T is about time that some
of our wise men repeat that once
famous, but now trite phrase,s
Don't be bearish on the United
States of America" We think it
must be a couple of months since
we last saw it in print. The United
States of America is all right, but
there are some things in it not so
good. The stock market gets out of
order every so often. We think it
is that way now. And it is merely
question of how the individual is
committed. If you have a little too
much for comfort, don't hesitate
because of our high regard for the
United States of America. It is en-
tirely consistent with patriotism as
we'll as with the law to do what the
ship captain does when facing a
storm. He throws cargo over board

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Feb. A.
The worlds most famous youth
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, to-
day prepared to continue making
history of the air and of good will
on his tWenty-siXth birthday ami
versary.
The young aerial ambassador,
whose twenty-fifth year has been
one of dazzling adventure in promo
ton of aviation, planned to take of
in his Spirit of ST. Louis today for
flight to San Domingo, in an eX-
tension of his goodwill cruise to
the american countries.
He seemed far more concerned
with the skies, the visibility and the
condition of his airplane, with
which he flew to undying fame
this last year, than he did with the
fact that he had reached another
milestone in life.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 4.-Clar-
ence Chamberlin, noted f1ier, COM
pletely wrecked his MARITIME Bel
lanca plane here early today in at
tempting to take off on flight to
break the world endurance record. He
was burned slightly on one hand
but otherwise he and his co-pilot
Rorges Williams, were uninjured.
The plane, heavily loaded with
gasoline under plans to stay aloft
sixty hours or more, started down
the runway at Byrd field soon after
dawn, against an unfavorable wind.
1t travelled TOO feet before it slow
ly rose, with Chamberlin at the
controls. When it reached an alti-
tude of fifty feet. the right wing
dipped, plunging the craft into a
ditch.
The landing gear snapped Off, the
right wing and cabin were broken,
and the oil tanks split, flooding the
ditch with oil.
Spectators ran to the scene, fear
ing the plane would ignite. They
saw Chamberlin emerge from the
cabin, smiling. Not until later did
he notice the burn on his hand, re-
ceived when he grasped an exhaust
pipe after the fall. He was given
first aid treatment.
A. r. MARITIME, New York, backer
of the flight, said the fliers would
remain here temporarily. superin-
tending salvage of the plane. He
said the endurance attempt would
be made again, with a new plane.
He said the accident was blam-
able on neither the pilots nor the
machine. He lauded Chamberlain
for taking a chance against the
down wind" which he knew might
bring disaster
Chamberlin said the runway was
too short to permit him to get into
the air with flying speed.
