How California Society Man[
e
Saved Himself From Death
'
by a Clever Trick,
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.—T0 be
up in the alr witk a man who acts
¢ocidedly “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 binfl ready to fall, is not at
all a pleasant or reassuring sensa
tion, according to A. H. Hayes, so
cfety man and sportsman, of Pas.’l—‘
dena, who is an expert aviator, an:l'
said: ’
I was recently at Riverside, ana
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
cidedly 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
avia.to(l ttied 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 flylng 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?”
; answered: “No one i{s running it.”
‘Very well,” he answered, letting
go of the gteering wheel, “then we
are on our way.” He folded his arms
and set back.
I fi';:&saw the man was not men
tally t. The machine was falling
and making a wild grab for the con
trol, I changed the fal] from 2,000
teet altitude into a volplane.~ Then |
I started the motor. After a whilyg |
thiedDa,pe took the wheel from me and |
sald:
“Now we shall o and fly over Bear{
Lake” 1 said: “But we have to cross |
the mountains to do that, and the|
lake is forty miles away. Have youl
sufficlent gasoline?” {
He said “No, 1 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 rose of the ma,chine]
upward.
Of course, it ils impossible to "vol-{
plane” a distance of forty miles. But|
I knew that the crazy man would
not listen to me on that account. So
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 1 have for
geotten my overcoat.
He answered: “You are right. We
wiil descend and get an overcoat for
vo't betore we fly to Bear Lake.”
S 0 he made a really wonderful vol
pianc 0 eartn. When we landed 1
said, “Uuod-bye:; 1 am through.”

bodies of the eagles were later picked

male. They measure nearly ten feet

more than four feet in height. \
Flew Straight Tosvard Him.
Captain Mortureaux said:
“I /was making a patrol over the
Bulgarian lines early one morning
when I saw the two eagles. They
flew straight toward me, and al
though my machine was faster than
they were, thev kept hovering mnear
me, since 1 had to swing back and
forth along a certain length of front.
“One of the birds darted toward me
just as I was turning. The roar of
the motor and the flashing propeller
blades didn’'t scare him a bit. I was

"“The birds followed right after me,
so I decided to attack one of them,
just to see what he would do, 1
‘banked’ to slow down and waited un
til the eagles were directly above and
in front of me,
“Then I pointed the nose of the
machine up and started to climb right
toward them at tremendous speed. I

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 16.—John E. Mooney,
one of the two exclse commissioners of
St. Louls county, in a thrift stamp ad
dress to an audience of 50 at the Vinita
Park Methodist Church, suggested that
a ‘“beerless day” might be inaugurated
as an aid to food conservation.
The brewecries, he said, consume large
quantities of foodstuffs and ,coal, and
this might be released for gefmral con
sumption if the breweries were to close
down one dav each week. This, he said,
would be better tlan'x closing the schools.
He suggested dlso that it might be
found advisable to cause saloons to re
main closed on one week day or to close
s-m"lier each night to conserve coal and
light.

Burial Place of First Americans |
Killed in War Visited by
French Soldiers.
PARIS, Feb. 16,—Henry Bordeaux,
the French noveljst, giving in the l-'?e
vue Hebdomedaire an account of his
recent visit t othe graves of the flrstl
three soldiers of the American e‘xpe-‘
ditionary force to fall on the French
front, says: T
“Later on a monument will rlse
there; later on the name of that ob
scure villdge-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 individuals
audacious and persevering.
“Those graves are situated along
the stone wall of a little Lorraine ¥il
lage,” he says, “a 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 sheds and poultry scratch
ing about the barnyard with assur
ance,
“The church is built on.a hillside
near a cluster of farm bulildings that
seem to have been bullt upon the site
of an anecibnt stronghold. Stretching
away from the buildings there is a
high stone wall alongside which is a
line of graves marked with wodden
crosses from which flies the French
tricolor, They are the tombs of
French soldiers, jjilled, 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 chrysanthed
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.”

delivered by the French general com
manding in the sector, M. Bordeaux

is known. Ojcers lnd“(oldlora pass

their route to seek out those thml
graves, but why should I not say it?—
they are visited more by the French
than by the Americans. It would
seem that the latter had not for the
dead the attention and the care the
significance of which has been trans
mitted to us by an older past; their
gaze seems to be more riveted upon |
the living. "
