WAR VAR
~ e & YARNS
A Joker Wild
LIEUT.. FRANK e. HACAN

This one, according to Lieut.. VIII
liam Westlake of the One Hundred and
Eighth Observation squadron. Thirty
third division, has been told SO many
times there Is little doubt of its au-
thenticity, but its origin has become
obscured. Anyway. it's all about the
practical joker aviator who was hoist
ed, or rather who descended, on his
own petard.
An instructor at Issoudun, air train
ing base Of the A. E. F., spotted one
of his pupils as likely enough cadet,
but a flyer who was ground shy and
lacked punch. He decided to cure the
cadet Of his weakness with practical
joke.
"Do everything do" he said briefly
to the cadet as the two climbed into q
training ship with dual controls. Then
they took off.
High in air, the instructor accom-
plished various maneuvers. His pupil
copied each move from a seat In the
rear cockpit. Then came the Joke"
the instructor intended to result in a
landing directed solely by his pupil.
Reaching into the cockpit, the in
structor unfastened his "joy stick"
by which the plane was controlled,
showed it to the pupil and calmly
tossed the stick overheard. According
to his advance reasoning the pupil,
grown confident in such an emergency,
now would assume control Of the ship,
and bring them quickly to earth in a
safe landing.
Imagine his embarrassment, chagrin
and CONSERVATION, when the pupil
calmly lifted his own stick and
dropped it, too, over the side. Then
the instructor, with one Mortified
glance at the dizzy earth below,
stepped of the side of the plane,
counted eight, and fioated away to
make perfect landing with his chute.
As the instructors feet touched soil
again the plane reached earth nearby
in perfect three-point landing and
the pupil stepped out. The secret of
the miraculous landing, the instructor
learned later, was that his pupil had
been tipped off, to his plans for the
Joke and had equipped the rear cock
pit with an extra Joy stick. This
extra stick, of course, was the second
one thrown overheard.

IS INDICTED

RICK SBURG. Va,
March 4.-Lee ]. Graves, former
commemorative attorney of
Spottsylvania county and justice
of the peace of King George
county. has been indicted for
sales of cider on Sunday, sale of
beverages containing more than
specified alcoholic content, and
possession of intoxicating bever-
ages.
Judge Frederick w. Coleman is
sued a bench warrant for the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Graves on
March 20.
Judge Coleman will ask Gov
ernor Pollard to select a judge
to sit in the circuit court during
the trial because of the fact that
Mr.. Graves had for number Of
years been a practicing attorney
in the same court.
The evidence presented to the
grand jury is believed to have
been the result Of an investiga-
ton by Commonwealth Attorney
Joseph A. Billingsley, following
the statement in court sometime
ago by two men that they had
become intoxicated on cider
bought from Mr.. Graves.
