This was the expression used by Lieutenant T. W. Blackburn, Air Corps, an instructor at the Advanced Flying School, Kelly Field, Texas, in describing the Charles A. Lindbergh of cadet days.

Lieutenant Blackburn was a department head, at the school while the aviation hero was a cadet, and It was his duty to keep a close watch on the young man, along with other members of the class to determine whether or not they had any special qualifications or adeptness for special phases of flying. A -brief synopisis Lindbergh's record as a soldier, taken from records of the school, was given as follows: Attended this school Sept. 12, 1921, to March 14. 1925; rank, flying cadet, air service; graduated March 11, 1925, as Second Lieutenant Air Corps Reserve: age at graduation 22 years; specialized as pursuit pilot; hours in the air while at this school. 109.20; general average, academic, S7.7, expert pistol shot.

85.96; education, graduation Little Falls (Minn.) High School, 1919; one and one-half years at University of Wisconsin; graduate of Air Corps Primary School, Brooks Field. Texas, Sept. 12. 1924, with 73 flying hours; discharged from service March 16, 1925. After giving the foregoing outline of the student's service.

Lieutenant Blackburn enlarged upon the story. In an interview with Lieutenant A. R. Glnsburgb, editor of the United States Army Recruiting News, he said: "As far as I can ascertain from the records of the Primary Flying School, Lindbergh displayed no ex traordinary ability as a pilot. Throughout his training In the basic phase of the advanced flying he appears to stand well, and it must be understood that the standard of ex cellence for the pilots at the army flying school are conceded to be the highest in the world.

"Lindbergh came to my attention as a student during this later period of training, and during this time students are watched by the various department heads (pursuit, bombardment, attack and observation) and are earmarked if in their estimation they possess qualifications which would make them promising material for that particular type of flying. Lindbergh's Characteristics "While there are exceptions to every rule, pursuit flying requires characteristics In the person, which, while desirable to other types of flying, are essential to a first-rate combat pilot. The primary requisite Is, of course, to be able to fly well and to shoot accurately. Coupled with this ability he must have an alert mind, to be able to think quickly and to act with suddenness and audacity. This Lindbergh seemed to possess, and I therefore requested his assignment to the pursuit section for specialized training in combat flying.

He proved up to expectations. In work which demanded accurate flying and quick action Lindbergh could always be relied upon to follow through the thickest affray. "However, and this should be marked, he displayed no particular outstanding quality above the balance of the students in the pursuit section. He impressed me as being a quiet, unassuming. indeed somewhat bashful country boy, well disciplined, and courageous.

He was al- ways keen to fly and always cheerful and quick to smile. "An incident which Is most vivid in my mind is the mid-air collision between him and Lieutenant McAllister, which occurred during practice in attacks on observation type. "This practice is carried out by making approaches to the two-seater from angles which are masked or 'blind' by reason of the structional features of the plane. Each plane is equipped with automatic camera guns, which instead of shooting bullets take pictures of the objective airplane, and by means of cross hairs on the film the theoretical point im at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel. Beulah Acker, this city, and Mrs, Sylvester Kemmerer, Emaus, will leave on the Black Diamond at noon today for North Dakota, where they win visit mends.

They expect to return to their homes In Septembe: stopping off at various points of In terest in the meantime. Mrs. J. A. Bechtold, of Baton Rouge, is the guest of her par ents, Mr.

ana Mrs. M. J. Amey, 457 Linden street, and her sister, Mrs Floyd Jordan, 31 South West street She is accompanied by her daughter Mrs. S.

L. Bass. They will return to their home next week. Mrs. Fred B.

Gernerd and Mrs Charles O. Hunsicker have returned from a European trip that was eventful and delightful throughout. Mrs. Gernerd after a few days' stay In this city went to the Gernerd summer home at Green Pond, N. where her children have been spend ing the summer.

pact of a bullet is estimated. The two seater during these attacks at tempts to so manoeuvre his plane that the blind angles are uncovered and the rear gunner is allowed to theoretically "shoot down' the at tacker. Split-second timing devices point the time on the film and this determines who got the first effec tive shot. Two Planes Locked Together "The two-seater plane, a DH-4, was being flown by Lieutenant Russel Maughan of 'Dawn to Dusk' fame Lindbergh, apparently in his anxiety to make an impetuous attack and thus, surprise the two-seater, dived down behind the tail of the two- seater and climbed up underneath, at the same instant McAllister was com ing down from above, and as their paths crossed each other the left wing of Lindbergh's plane fouled McAllister's right wing. The planes locked together and began to fall.

"It was probably 200 feet to the rear and on about the same level and as I could see no apparent life in the two pilots gave them up as lost. I dived down to follow them through the clouds, which were about 500 feet thick. The wrecked planes beat me though, but as I looked up saw two parachutes open just as they emerged from the underside of the clouds. Then, turning my eyes to the falling planes, I saw them strike the ground in a mesqulte thicket and immediately burst into flames. "Flying in that vicinity since Lind bergh's fight to Paris, I note the scars of the wreck are still plainly visible.

Lindbergh and McAllister floated on down and landed in an open cultivated field beside a little country school. "As soon as it was assured that all was well, I flew back to Kelly Field and got two-seaters to pick them up and bring them home, when they were immediately sent up again on another mission." That Captain Lindbergh at all times during his flying career, never failed to impress those with whom he came into contact is exemplified by the following passages taken at ran dom from a report on his connection with the air section of the Missouri National Guard. Said Captain C. R. Wassel, Mis souri National Guard, in 1925: "Mr, Lindbergh is an intelligent, industri ous young man, and displays an un usual interest in his work.

This coupled with his capabilities, has led me to believe that he will success fully complete everything he under takes." "Other "recommendations" of "the young man" were to the effect that he was "ambitious, hardworking, in telligent," "honest, energetic and in dustrious," "dependable, a man of good moral habits and a regular In all his business transactions."

VIOLET, FRONTIER POST, IS NOW A CEMETERY SITE Collections of Products Would Stim ulate Interest of Pupils Konawa, Okla. Ghosts of an al most forgotten boom city parade in undisturbed glory in the shadow of the modern oil booms across the south end of Seminole county. Two and a half miles west of here is the old town site of the Town of Violet which was founded in the '90s and at one time was the most wild and woolly community in the south part of Pottawatomie county. Just across the line from the Semi nole nation, where a Government ban on liquor existed in pre-Statehood days, Violet flourished as a saloon town. Its 700 inhabitants were kept busy by steady influx of Indians and wild men of the surrounding country A graveyard was started across the road south.

To this day one corner of the city of the dead is reserved of those who met violent deaths in the turbid life of the fronties post, As many as eight men have been killed in a single day in the Violet area, old timers say. A plough field now morks the place where the city thrived. Gone are the saloons and the stores, the residences and other buildings. Even the ancient old jail. that remained for more than a score of years as the sole landmark, has been destroyed.

Violet forfeited her chance of per manent glory when the town site owners failed to meet the demands of the Katy Railroad Company to get the line through that place.

LIBERTY MOTOR AIRPLANE IS COMING HERE TODAY Flagship of Gates Fleet Carries Six Passengers and Pilot One of the- largest airplanes ever to visit Allentown is scheduled to land at the new fair grounds site at Alton Park today. It is a specially built plane, with three cockpits, capable of carrying six passengers and pilot, and is equipped with a 400-horsepower twelve-cylinder Liberty motor.

It is the flagship of the fleet of five planes of the Gates Flying Circus, according to advance representatives, and is said to be the largest plane in "circus flying" in the United States. The aviators will remain at the new fair grounds field three days, de parting Tuesday morning. Exhibitions of dare-devil flying, parachute jumping and aerial tricks will be pre sented each afternoon at 2.30 o'clock and the planes will be in flight until dark for passenger service. Thousands of aviation enthusiasts remember the previous visits of the Gates organization two years ago. Since then, according to the fliers, the organization steadily has grown and expanded, and not a single accident to pilot or passenger marred the safety record.

'Mickey" Efferson, who was caught in a down-draft at Harrisburg last week and knocked unconscious during a parachute iumn. is scheduled for another thrilling leap from the clouds as a feature event of the ex hibitions. He already has seventy-seven such jumps to his credit Clyde E. Pangborn. America's first upside-down flier, will lead the formation here, and Ivan R.

Gates, general manager, telegraphed he will come from New York to Join the fleet. Pilots Ive McKinney, Warren D. Smith, Harold McMahon and Lee Mason will pilot the other planes vis-i iting here. Major Mason until three weeks ago was chief of the air service of Nicaragua and introduced warfare of the skies to the southern republic during the recent revolution there. TO EDUCATION FEE Would Have the Enforce-ment Officers Made Independent The American Game Protective Association reports that most States are being weaned away from the system of remunerating officers for making arrests by allotting them all or part of fines imposed.

Its bulletin says this system of compensating officers is bad, particularly in the case of game wardens. "If the compensation of officers is dependent upon conviction based on the testimony of the officer, the good faith of the prosecution is invariably iri, question," says the bulletin. "Officers have already been barred from receiving fees in many States, not only in the game warden service but also in various other directions. "The United States Supreme Court in a recent case, originating in Ohio, held unconstitutional the practice of Mayors and Justices of the Peace compensating themselves by fees imposed on conviction. This is a hard blow to the fee system, and the argument should hold equally in the case of the officer making the arrest, especially when he must convince the Court of the guilt of the accused before receiving compensation through taxation of costs.

"Because of the lack of public sentiment favorable to the enforcement of game and fish laws, the game warden service has been in most places unpopular within recent years. The fee system has added to its unpopularity. Game law enforcement Officers should be maintained by appropriation only or by funds derived in such manner that the conpensa-tion of the officer does not depend upon securing convictions. Officers must be free from suspicion of being personally interested financially in the conviction of offenders brought by them into court. "The so-called reward system whereby fees are paid to citizens for information leading to the conviction of violators of game and fish laws is open, in a measure, to the same criticism.

Such methods are primitive at best, and must gradually be done away with. Game law enforcement must be placed on a more dignified plane in order to receive the full approbation of the public." HAMILTON ST. PROPERTY IS SOLD FOR $300,000 One of the most important real estate transactions during the summer was consummated yesterday when Samuel Katzman sold the properties 917-919 Hamilton street to Charles and Alphonse Lova and Leonard Or-cuto, prominent Allentown industrialists, for a consideration believed to be close to $300,000.

They will give two free performances every day next week, beginning Monday afternoon, A Better Bargain Heeinie, the butcher, had long been accused of making more money than he was entitled to for the meat he gave in return. Pat came into the shop, ordered forty cents' worth of steak, and watched him narrowly while it was weighed out. "Sixty cents, please," said the butcher as he started wrapping it up.

"See here, I asked for forty cents' worth." The butcher scowled, but said nothing, as there was quite a number of other customers waiting. He cut the steak into almost identical pieces, flung one on the scale and snapped, "Just forty cents." Pat eyed the halves and said softly, "Begorra, then I'll take the other half for twenty cents." He got it. JOSEPH BRIGHT Joseph Bright died on Thursday evening at six o'clock at St. Luke's hospital, Bethlehem, of complications. He was in his 88th year.

OBITUARY SAYS FICTITIOUS ADS Advertising Manager of Bank Estimates Annual Waste on Directories and Programs More than $500,000 annually is har vested by "directory" and "program" promoters in the metropolitan district, with large business houses, particularly banks the principal victims, Osborn F. Hevener, advertis ing manager of the Bank of America reports in a survey published in the current Issues of Printer's Ink. Mr.

Hevener bases his estimate on figures obtained from the. Better Business Bureau and other organized agencies which have been seeking to stamp out faks advertising schemes which prosper because large business houses do not investigate the schemes more carefully before signing con tracts. He hazards the guess that at least half of the estimated $500, 000 received by these promoters is taken from the Walls Street area. "For some reason or other," said Mr. Hevener, "banks seem to be easy prey for professional advertis ing exploiters.

I am solicited at least once a week by some representative of a 'promoter's which, for instance, is the program of some fic titious charity. I understand that there is one of these 'get-rich -quicks' with an office within a stone's throw of the Municipal Building, whose re puted income is $200,000 of tainted money annually.
