Awaiting Instructions.

In a letter received from a cousin of mine, who is a lieutenant in the aviation service, he tells of the following incident that happened to a cadet flyer at Kelly field: —The cadet wax malting his first- solo flight and had been flying around the towers where the instructors sit and observe the movements of the solo flyers, when he was seen throwing something out of his plane. He Had thrown his shoe out with a note tied to It saying thathia “gtifi" or gas throttle was jammed, and he didn’t know what to do.— He flew around the towers ten times before he realized that he had a magneto switch on his plane that would shut off the ignition and thus stop the engine. He finally landed with a dandy ‘'thump.”—Chicago Tribune.
