Of health, last Saturday, the second
anniversary of Lindbergh's landing
in Paris on his historic flight. The
Rev. DIR. Brown. who performed the
celemony, is an old friend of Am
bassador Morrow.
The ambassador is a trustee of
Union Theological Semin ary, where
DIR. Brown is professor. The lat-
ter's daughter, Helen, who died last
year. attended Miss Chapin's school
in New York with Miss Morrow and
the two young women were warm
friends.
The romance of Lindbergh and
Miss Morrow began in Mexico City
in December, 1922, when the worlds
premier flier dropped down there in
his plane, The Spirit Of st. Louis,
on his good will tour of Central
America, the Caribbean littoral and
the West Indies.

about June Is.
"Lindy" and his wife drove down
the road at a fast speed, turned q
corner or two, headed out along q
main, highway and soon disappeared
from view. From that moment all
trace Of them was lost.
1t was said early today that offic'
ials at Roosevelt Field, b. l., had
received telephone instructions
yesterday noon from Lindbergh to
get a fast Curtiss Falcon plane he
had been using ready for this
morning. The craft is a two-seater
with 600-power motor. Although
mechanics got busy with the plane
this report was generally regarded
as a scheme to throw reporters and
photographers off the trail.
It was recalled that shortly after
the couple disappeared by auto.
mobile an airplane circled over the
Morrow estate. 1t was not incon-
ceivable that "Lindy" and Anne
were in that plane.
Formal announcement Of the mar
riage was not made until 6:45 p. m,
when Ambassador Morrow's secre-
tary telephoned a brief statement
to press associations and newspa.
pers in New York. The announce.
ment merely stated:
''Mr. and Mrs. Dwight w. Nor

daughter, Anne. to Charles A..
Lindbergh at EngIewood. n. j., may

MARKET CRASH

The Wall Street bear, that hiberna-

onslaught on the lambs Of specu-

crash in stock prices that has taken
place since the middle OF April.

Manipulation Of Stocks
Manipulation OF speculative stocks
that are hardly worth their place
in the sun has ever constituted one
of the most fragrant forms of abuse
of the facilities of the stock market.
There has been plenty of plain and
unadulterated manipulation in the
last year or two, a good deal OF 1t

mission houses.
The real victims of manipulations
OF this kind. as well az of the dis.
honest and disreputable slky.rocket.

of stock, are ii, course the small
traders who have been enticed into
the market.
Like moths lowering about
flame, and with as little protection
for their resources as the moth has
for its flimsy wings. they gradually
load up with highly speculative and
inflammable material on a scale Of
prices that is steadily being under
mined by repeated ballooning into
unwarranted price territory. When
the crash comes these traders are
helpless.
