How California Society Man
.
Saved Himself From Death
by a Clever Trick,
BAN FRANCIBCO, Feb. 16.—T0 be
up in the air with & man who acts
deocldedly “queer” and who insists on
shutting off the motor of an aero
plane at an altitude of 2,000 feet.
until the machine wobbles like a
wounded bird ready to fall, is pot at
all a pleasant or reassuring sensa
tion, according to A. H, Hayes, so
clety man and sportsman, of Pasa
dena, who is an expert aviator, and
‘sald:
I was recently at Riverside, anda
decided to make a trip with a Danish
aviator who afterwards turned out to
be slightly demented. Before mak
ing the ascent, 1 stipulated that we
were not to go higher than 500 feet.
To this condition the Dane, who
seems to have been fashioned some
what on the pattern of that other
Dane, the eccentric Hamlet, readily
agreed. So we went up. My com
panion soon gave signs of being de
cldedly lacking in poise. He shot up
to an altitude of 2,000 feet and there
began to perform all sorts of stunts.
Recognizing my danger, I tried to
keep as quiet as possible. Then the
aviator tried to enter into conversa
tion with me. The roar of the mo
tor made talk difficult, so he calmly
shut off the motor.
As I have been flying a seaplane
for the last year at Santa Barbara,
I was able to realize the situation. I
yelled to the aviator: “I did not
come up here to talk. Please start
your motor before it is too late”
This -seemed to enrage him. He
asked: “Say, who is running this
aeroplane?”
I answered: “No one is running it.”
“Very well,” he answered, letting
go of the steering wheel, ‘“‘then we
are on our way.” He folded his arma
and set back.
I then saw the man was not men
tally right. The machine was falling
and making a wild grab for the con
trol, I changed the fall from 2,000
feet altitude into a volplane, Then
1 started the motor. After a whilg
the Dane took the wheel from me and
safd:
“Now we shall go and fly over Bear
Take” 1 said: “But we have to cross
the mountains to do that, and the
Jake is forty miles away. Have you
sufficlent gasoline?”
He said “No, I have not! But we
will ‘volplane’ back forty miles. And
to cross the mountains we will ascend
to 8,000 feet. Here she goes”’—— And
he pointed the nose of the machine
upward.
Of course, it 1s impossible to “vol
plane” a distance of forty miles. But
1 knew that the crazy man would
not listen to me on that account. S¢
I tried diplomacy, and said:
“You are going to climb 8,000 feet
and it is freezing up there. I will
freeze to death, because I have for
gotten my overcoat.
He answered: “You are right. We
will descend and get an overcoat for
vou before we fly to Bear Lake.”
So he made a really wonderful vol
plane to earth. When we landed I
sald, “Good-bye; 1 am through.”

half-pints of whisky will be sold in this
city, and there is weeping and walling
and gnashing of teeth among many of
the thirsty individuals who like to carry
flacks in their hip pockets.
The real cause of the abolition of the
half-pint is the first effort on the part
of the industrial establishments to
break up the practice of employees car
rying the small boitle into the plants
during working hours. It is believed
that with the discontinuance of the
sale of half-pints this practice will be
broken up.

EAGLES ATTACK AIRPLANE:
MACHINE GUN KILLS THEM
Captain Mortureax, French Airman, Brings
Stuffed Birds and Story of Aerial Battle.
By KENR\; G. WALES,
Stats Correspondent of the International News Service.
PARIS, Feb. 1 (By Malil) —~Captaln
Mortureaux, a pllot in the French
aviation service, has just arrived here
on furlough from Saloniki, where he
was attached to the Army of the
Orient. He brought with him two
stuffed eagles which he shot down
with his machine gun when they at
tacked him during a flight he made
o!lr'er the Bulgarian lines in Macedo-
Hnia,
This is the first authentic case on
record in the annals »f Furopean avi
atlon when a bird has attacked an
aeroplane,
The aerial battle between Captain
Mortureaux and the two giant birds
was witnessed by British and French
troops in the advanced trenches over
which the contest was fought. The
bodles of tlie eagles were later picked
up by soldiers. One eagle is a male
and the other—the larger one—a fe
male. They measure nearly ten feet
from wing tip to wing tip and stood
more than four feet in height.
Flew Straight Toward Him.
Captain Mortureaux said:
“I was making a patrol over the
Buigarian lines early one morning
when I saw the two eagles. They
flew stralght toward me, and al
though my machine was faster than
they were, thev kept hovering near
me, since I had to swing back and
forth along a certain length of front.
“One of the birds darted toward me
just as 1 was turning. The roar of
the motor and the flashing propeller
blades didn't scare him a bit. 1 was

- Can Not Enlist Here
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.—An act
of Congress will be necessary if Paul
M. logolevich, aged 16, a veteran of the
Russlan army, enlists in the army of the
United States. logolevich offered him-‘
self to the army recruiting office for
service with Uncle Sam in any capac
ity. Because of his youth he is barred
from the American army, although he
has served more than a year on the
Russian front, has commanded a ma
chine gun squad and has been decorat
ed with the St. George medal for dis
tinguished bravery in spiking guns and
recoveflnfi of machine gun fire at the
Debussy River.
The boy enlisted in the Russian army
at the age of thirteen. He is a son of
Burgeon General logolevich and ad
vanced rapidly. In August he was
‘‘gassed’’ by the Germans and went to
Ja{un to recuperate,
ogolevich believes that within a cou

St. Louis Suggested
BT. LLOUIS, Feb. 16.—John E. Mooney,
one of the two excise commissioners of
St. Louls county, in a thrift stamp ad
dress to an sudience of 50 at the Vinita
Park Methodist Church, suggested that
a ‘‘beerless day' might be inaugurated
as an ald to food conservation.
The breweries, he said, consume large
quantities of foodstuffs and coal, and
this might be released for general con
sumption if the breweries were to close
down one day each week, This, he said,
would be better than closing the schools.
He suggested also that it might be
found advisable to cause saloons to re
main closed on one week day or to close
earlier each night to conserve coal and
light.

Burial Place of First Americans
Killed in War Visited by
French Soldiers.
PARIS, Feb. 18—Henry Bordeaux.!
the French novelist, giving in the Re
vue Hebdomedaire an account of his
recent visit t othe graves of the first
three soldiers of the American expe
ditionary force to fall on the French
front, says:
“Later on a monument will rise
there; later on the name of that ob
scure village that I can not reveal now
will be known and will resound across
the ocean. Visitors will come in
throngs, even from over the seas, to
contemplate the horizon and breathe
the air impregnated with the atmos
phere of sacrifice and glory that
makes people strong and individyals
audacious and persevering.
“Those graves are situated along
the stone wall of a little Lorraine vil
lage,” he says, “@ tiny village right up
next to the front., It is nearly intact
and some of the inhabitants are still
sticking to their firesides there. The
church clock marks the hour, though
the church bell rings no more.
“A shell bursts in the neighborhood
from time to time, and the peasants
pause to listen to the explosion, then
go on with thelr work, There are
cows In the gheds and poultry scratch
ing about the barnyard with assur
ance,
“The church is built on a hillside
near a cluster of farm buildings that
seem to have been bullt upon the site
of an ancient stronghold. Stretching
away fmlq the buildings there is a
high stone wall alongside which is a
line of graves marked with wooden
ecrosses from which flies the French
tricolor. They are the tombs of
French soldiers, killed, most of them,
at the end of August, 1914, when the
Germans, after the battle of Mor
hange, tried to invade this part of
Lorraine, but were repulsed.
“There are three more graves, iso
lated from the rest, in front of the
wall where it rises before the build
ings, freshly dug, with chrysanthe
mums not yet faded scattered over
them. These are the tombs of the
first American soldiers killed during
the war on this front for the libera
tion of the world.
“Corporal Gresham and Soldiers
Heinright and Hay were buried on the
4th of November in the little village
close to the scene of the fight.”
