Who's Who In Verse Charles Augustus Lindbergh That Colonel Charles Augustus Lind- bergh Is not the least like August Strindberg, The Dramatist, I trust is plain, Though Both are of a Nordic Strain. It does not matter one Iota That Charles was born in Minnesota; If he’d been hatched on Puget Sound You couldn’t keep him on the Ground. | Before his Infant Lips could utter A Sentence, he began to flutter; And after that, before they knew, He gave One Hop and off he flew. When Others sort of had a Notion That they could flit across the Ocean, He nonchalantly took the Air And made the Trip with Time to spare. It may be Bright, it may be Pouring, | But anyhow he goes on soaring On Silver Wings through every Zone In Skies where Man had never flown. He flies and flies in all the Weathers. Instead of Hair he’s Feathers. And now ‘tis rumored East and West That he will light and build a Nest. We hope that he, with Love to guide him, And she, that soon will perch beside him, . Like Homing Doves with Wings un- loosed, Will shortly volplane home to Roost. And shall we greet them? You can trust us! We're mighty fond of Charles Augus- tus. —Arthur Guiterman.

Why spend your summer ashore when you can spend it afloat? Why join the Big Parade on the road when you can join the Select Few atthe roadsteads? Why endure traffic lights and parking rules when liberty and leisure are still alive on the water? And why pay separately for transportation and living quar- ters when the two are so beauti- fully combined in this A.C. F.“*40"? This beautiful, swift A. C. F. cruiser is designed and built as only the American Car and Foundry Company can do it. Graceful of line, staunch and seaworthy, comfortable and roomy. There are two large cabins,a completely enclosed bridge- | BORADBHAHOHAHOH AO OHAHOWHASHOMAO OHA OHO deck, an ample galley with its lockers and ice-box, two spotless lavatories, and quarters for your crew. Forward, there is a breeze- swept cockpit; aft, a roomy quarter- deck. A rendezvous for your friends, a floating home for the summerlong pleasure of you and your family. The A. C. F. 40" provides com- fortable berths for six and accom- modates many more during the day. She rides the seas like a life-boat, she steers as easily as an automobile, she is beautiful as a sea-gull in flight. Just reading about her is a pleasure ...so why not send, right now, for a booklet describing and picturing her in detail. Just write for booklet “L” to AMERICAN CAR AND FOUNDRY COMPANY A.C.
