tips from those who descended at such
hotels as Charidge's, looked at the little
silver coin contemptuously.
"Wot's this ere for, guv'nor?'' he
said. !ite

WAR AVIATOR KILLED AS
HE GRASPS PROPELLER
French Veteran Attempts to
Grab Blades When Plane
Runs AmuCk in Crowd.

Port Golden, N. J.-Marcel Ruellan,
veteran of the French wartime flying
service, gave up his life before thou
sand spectators here recently in stop
ping an airplane that had made a
landing and threatened to plunge into
the crowd after the pilot had been
tossed out. Realizing that a disaster
was imminent, Ruellan sprang straight
at the whirling propeller, grasped it
with both hands and sought by main
strength to still the engine. But the
powerful blades sliced ont Of his grip
and one smashed his skull. He died
instantly.
A mechanic of long experience in
the war and later a familiar of the
flying fields around MineOla, L. l.,
Ruellan had only arrived here in the
morning with two companions to give
a series Of passenger flights. Word
that he had given up his life for 9th
ers was sent to his sister, Nine. Jaf-
fray at 532 West 111th street, New
York. His former wife and a child
live in France.
The Farman plane was brought to
Port Golden, which is east of Phillips
burg and near Washington, N. j.. by
Marcel Matthias, understood to have
been a French ace, his assistant pilot,
Morris A. Devoe, and Ruellan. A big
crowd had gathered when Matthias
who is said to have flown through the
war without an accident, took off with
two passengers, Oliver S. Moore Of
Portland, Pa, and Frank Felenzo Of
Port Golden.
They circled the Roseberry farm
from which they assembled and then
Matthias glided down in an easy land
ing. But something in the landing
gear gave way and the plane dug its
nose into the ground with a jolt thai
hurled Matthias out and jerked the
passengers off their seatS
The engine kept going, and before
Matthias, only shaken, could scramble
to his feet, it had shaken it's nose
clear and started wabbling ever the
ground while people milled helplessly,
unable to gauge it's careening path.

the engine and without seconds hes
itation the mechanic 1eaped. Prob
ably it was fear that the slightest de-
lay would allow the craft time to gain
dangerous momentum that led him to
dive at her nose rather than run
around, reach into the cockpit and
close the throttle. An instant later
the Mortified spectators saw his mu-
t'lated body borne away. But he had
retarded the runaway plane long
enough for Matthias to shut of the
power.

Town Gets "Stuck Up"
After an ODD Accident

Morristown, O.-This town
has been 'all stuck up" as the
result Of an automobile acct
dent. It happened after Emmett
Rowley drove his wagon, on
which he was hauling a barrel
Of sorghum molasses, into the
path of Pittsburgher's machine.
The automobile hit the wagon
amidships, as the hOrse-drawn
vehicle was driven onto Main
street. The barrel of sorghum
was tossed over the wagon rail
and into the auto. The car, it's
occupants and the street were
soon covered with the glue.
Spectators went to the aid of
the automobile occupants and
assisted them to a physicians
office. The rescuers had diff
Guilty in extricating themselves
from the sorghum.
The real fun began, however,
when efforts were made to move
the wrecked automobile and
wagon from the street. The
sorghum by that time had COW
cred the bricks and men stag
gered about as though drunk.

Scandinavian Poetry
Differs From German

(From The Nordisk Tidskrfft, Stockholm }
When you compare the Germans to
the three Scandinavian peoples you
soon notice that their likeneSSeS are
unimportant, but that their differences
are great.
Think. for instance, of the Nibelun-
gen song, the great German epic of
the thirteenth century. You will no.
tice how little it measures up to the
Scandinavian song of the Edda, which
treats the same subject. The Nibelun-
gen son lacks artistic value. 1t is
poetry that has neither breath nor
depth. Like peacock feathers, it is
brilliant but worthless. The absence
of the characteristics of an apic is be-
trayed by the tagging and monotonous
rhythm. The deeds which the poem
describes are not heroic enough; there
is hidden fatality weighed in all ac-
ton. The poem is without spirit,
without wisdom or excitement. 1t has
the tone of dancing song or of a
popular melody.
Little knowledge of men is shown in
the German epic. The heroes are
pushed into battle by some blind de-
sire. Most striking about the poem is
the mechanical mixture OF cruelty and
courtesy which produces its general
tone. There are traces of sadism in
the epic, just as there are such traces
even in such charming folk songs as
the Haidenroeslein.
AS to love, when this epic presents
Brunehild the heroine, to us she seems
savage creature. Yet there is no
sense of humor, in the song, not even
in most grotesque moments, when, for
instance, Brunehild defeats Gunther,
her husband, on her wedding eve, and
hangs him to the ceiling by her girdle.
No muscle stirs the face of the Nibe-
lungen singer when he relates this ex-
traordinary joke.
This brief account proves that Scan
dinavian poetry has nothing in COM
mon with the German sagas. Pathos
and cold deliberations march side by
side in old German poetry.
