By this vardstick, of course, “Slim,” which | still is his name to all his friends, is 100 per cent perfect. Even more which is not g0 much that he reach- ed his destination but the manner of his reaching it.

The | mileage is not. mn itself, impressive, | but when considered in the light or |is known as a “top overhaul.” Its nearest equivalent in the field of the automobile, the carbon and valve Joh, is well known to every motorist. That the ship's engine needed so little attention is accepted by the technician as the greatest possible tribute to Lindbergh's ability as a fiyer. Typical of the care with which he treats the engine of the world’s best known airplane, in the opinion of his tellow-tlyers, is the hourly mileage to many laymen, but to the expert, it was most significant. Lindbergh, throughout the 27 hours of the flight, kept the plane close to its cruising speed, the rate of travel at which the engine per- forms with the least difficulty and with the least likelihood of t:ovble developing. This, together with the fact that he encountered head winds instead of the tail winds which help- ed him so much on the transatlan- | tie flight, accounts for the lower | rate of specd—and also for the fact | that the J5 engine in the plane hrwvs Army and Navy experts, at least as well qualified as any group to pass judgment, doubt that any plane is given better treatment than Lind- bergh accords to the Spirit of St. Louis. In flight, it is handled by one who knows its every capacity. Before and after cach flight, it is minutely inspected by a man with an unquestioned geniua for detecting any possible slight flaw in motor or any other unit. As an indication of the recognition of this ability in ed closely by its designers and build e ers, they are leaving every smal! item of its care to “Slim's” discre tion. They know he knows. One of the large factors in re- vealing Lindbergh's mastery of hia subject is his ability to do with any plane anything that it is capable of doing and to recognize immediately its inevitable limitations. 1t is doubt- ful if any pilot in the world Jas flown so many different types of planes as has Lindbergh since his famous trans-oceanic flight.

These flights, in thelr way, reveal to the qualified observer that Lind- bergh is right in his objectious to being called “lucky.” He knows fly- ing. He is master of the art in its every phase.

LIVE STOCK \ Sy FOR HIS ANIMAL EARNINGS 17 PAID FOR MANUFACTURING, FREIGHT AND SELLING COSTS Swift & Company’s Cattle Dollar A thousand pound beef steer will yield on an average of 550 pounds of beef and 150 pounds of hide and other finished by-products. Swift & Company, at its various packing plants, buys thousands of cattle each week, trans- forms them into beef and by-products, sells the beef to retail dealers and the by -products to various kinds of manufacturers to be worked up into forms which the consumer desires. From every dollar which Swift & Company received in 1927 from sales of beef and by- products an average of 85 cents was paid to the producer of live stock for his animal; 14 cents was required to pay manufacturing, freight and selling costs, and one cent remained as earnirgs. Out of his 85 cents the farmer has to pay the cost of the animal and the expense of feeding and marketing before he makes any profit. The story of beef is an interesting one. Some- thing of this, as well a3 many other details of the packing industry, are told in the new Swift & Company Year Book for 1928. A copy is yours free, for the asking.
