MRS. LINDBERGH - SHOWS AIR SKILL Takes Off and Lands Per- fectly Three Times in First Solo Flight. Special Dispatch to The Star. HIOKSVILLE, Long Island, August 24.—Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, in mak- ing her first solo flight at the Aviation Country Club here yesterday proved that her husband’s confidenc® in her ‘was not misplaced by making three per- fect take-offs and landings. Mrs. Lindbergh had received a little more than 10 hours of dual instruction, #ncluding an hour that she spent in the air with Col. Lindbergh yesterday morn- ing, before he sent her up alone. This does not include the time that she has spent riding with her husband as a passenger, but only the hours of in- struction at the country club. Ten A AN A TR MR 1 A IR IR S LA S VAR S vy hours is the average time spent by fly- | ing students in dual instruction, but many take longer. Fly Early in Day. Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh were out on the field at 8:30 o'clock. They have * been stopping at the club while the les- sons have been in progress and have . done most of their flying in the morning. e . __The club’s Curtiss Fledgling training ! plane was ready when they stepped onto the fleld. Both strapped on parachutes . and stepped into the little plane in * which Mrs. Lindbergh has received all ¢ of her lessons, Then Col. Lindbergh informed his wife that he was going to ask her to fly alone. . But first they flew together for about an hoyr, landing frequently and taking off again. Mrs. Lindbergh was at the controls most of the time, with her instructor coaching her when it seemed ¢ necessary. © Then the plane came down for a 7 landing and Col. Lindbergh clambered out. He stood beside the cockpit for % a few minutes to give final instructions ! and then wavéd her away. Mrs. Lind- - bergh took off easily, circled the field < and landed. Again her instructor spoke to her and again he sent her aloft. When she landed the second time Col. Lindbergh sent her away for still an- other flight by herself. Landings Exceptionally Good. Satisfied with the progress that she was making, Col. Lindbergh went into the clubhouse to make a telephone call while Mrs. Lindbergh was flying in the vicinity of Hicksville. He was back on the field when she landed the third time. Then he resumed his seat in the plyne and they went up together. After nnnher half hour of practice take-offs and landings the lesson was concluded and they returned to the clubhouse. # Members of the club who watched the flight said that Mrs. Lindbergh ¢ showed no nervousness when she start- ed for her first solo. She handled the = ship easily, they said, and her take- offs and landings were exceptionally good for a first solo attempt. .~ Mrs. Lindbergh has flown with her husband frequently since their mar- % riage, and they always slipped away % for airplane rides when he visited her % as Miss Anne Morrow in Mexico City. % During one of their flights there they % were forced to land on a damaged un- % dercarriage. The plane turned over £ and Col. Lindbergh carried his arm in sling for weeks afterward. 7 CHICAGO PLA.NS HIGHWAY FOR SPEEDING AUTOS Expenditure of $111,367,108 in Program to Expedite Travel From Western City Limits.

The papers had been purchased with money supplied by the International Paper Co. on notes. Litigation began in Richmond Superfor Court at Augusta and was transferred to Federal Court here by agreement. ° Partnership Proof. Some of the telegrams and messages were to publishers, some to Hall or Lavarre from publishers and others | to the law firm of the paper company in | New York, and to W. C. Head, assist- ant to the president of the paper com- pany. Some were signed by Lavarre, others by Lavarre and Hall. The Jat- ter form of signature was employed by both Hall and Lavarre. It was Hall's contention that the rtecords of these s'gnatures are partial proof that he and Lavarre were partners. A part of the record of the Fed- eral Trade Commission inquiry into the interest of the paper company in vari- ous newspapers over the country was also introduced. It purported to show that the testimony of Lavarre in that hearing referred to “Hall and myself” as_owners of the four newspapers. Witnesses yesterday included Thomas | J.

By the Associated Press, ST. PAUL, Minn., August 24 —Imme- diate action by the P’edg:lnl Farm Board to relieve the acute grain marketing situation in the Northwest was urged in a telegram to the board by 8. M. Wil- | liams, editor of the St. Paul Ploneer | Press and Dispatch, made public toda¥. The telegram follows: “Critical situation developed in North- western grain marketing. FParmers eni- deavoring to follow your advice, hold back their crops, but unable to do so partly through lack of storage facilities, but principally from lack of credit accommodation. Urgent need of imme- diate measures to facilitate assistance to farmers of Minnesota and North Dakota as crop is being threshed and moving on market already flooded and embargoed. “Officers of new co-operative grain corporation organized under your ap- proval say they are unable to do any- thing because not yet incorporated. Situation seems to call for emergency action by the Federal Board to open the channels of financial credit in Northwest. “Specific question has been submitted to us whether it is possible for Federal Farm Board to make direct advances secured by wheat through existing co- operative terminal organizations, such as Farmers’ Union Terminal Associa- tion of St. Paul. “Northwestern agricuitural farmers suddenly aroused and alarmed over prospect of being obliged to dump wheat on stagnated market and producers suf- fer heavy losses in price in addition to short crop. We urge your immediate and direct attention to relieve tense situation.” Low-Priced Helium.
