Charges Wite and Her Mother Stole $2500, Made Him Cook

NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (U. P.).—Joseph Newrick, 38, had his wife and mother-in-law arrested today on charges that they stole $2500 from him and made him do his own cooking and housskeeping.

Mr. Newrick, a$2d-a-week furni

ture salesman, said his 66-year-old

mother-in-law, Mrs. Katherine Regina Suero, persuaded him to hand over $1000 as a ‘guarantee of loyalty” when he was courting her daughter,

Elvira Suero Nicholson Newrick. After the marriage when he suggested that ne and Mrs. Newrick move into a home of their own, the husband said, the mother-in-law asked an additional sum of $1500 as’ surety that he would not abandcn her daughter. . The money, Mr. Newrick said, was to be deposited in his name after a while but instead, he charged, the two women spent it on an automobile in which they went out “almost every night,” leaving the housework to him.

YOUTHS TEETER INTO

W. C. T. U. MEETING

Publicity Stunt, They Say, So Win Release.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 11 (U. P.) —The state convention of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. was in session at the First Baptist Church when four youths, one of them clutching a bottle, entered the door and staggered down the aisle. Delegates gasped. Mrs. Elizabeth

House, Stillwater, state president,

demanded: “Call the police.” Officers took the four into custody. They also took a newspaper

reporter and photographer to jail. The youths said that they were not drunk—only seeking publicity for a stage play, “The Drunkard,” sponsored by the Oklahoma University players. The bottle, they said, contained coffee. The reporter and photographer told police that they were innocent bystanders who happened

along. The youths said they were sorry. W. C. T. U. officials said they ‘wanted the “regrettable incident” | closed immediately. Police sniffed the bottle, said all right. ——— SINNER SINS AGAIN

OAKLAND, Cal, Nov. 11 (U. P.)— A sinner admitted that he robbed a poor box in church. Later, he felt so badly about it that he decided to go back and pray for forgiveness. On entering the church, he saw another poor box. The temptation was too great, so he went out and bought a pair of pliers, opened the second box and robbed that, too. The judge decided to put him beyond temptation and forgiveness.

‘LAST WIFE’S CLUB’ DINES ARMISTICE EVE

WAVERLY, N. Y., Nov. 11 (U. P.). —A “Last Wife’s Club,” believed to be the only women’s organization of its kind, has been formed by members of the local American Legion post’s auxiliary. The members give a dinner each Armistice eve. In case of the death of a~member, her place at the table is set and marked by an empty chair. : A similar organization known as the “Last Man's Club” was formed several years ago by the Waverly legionnaires.

JUDGE’S DOCKET GOOD BAROMETER

HAMMOND, Ind. Nov. 11 (U. P.) —Judge Joseph. Stodola mounted his bench, looked at the arrest sheet and remarked sagely “that winter is just around the corner.” “I can always tell when "winter is coming,” he said, “because the arrest sheet year after year has the names of the boys who are on hand for a trip to the penal farm when the weather promises to become cold.”

Al Sees An ‘Impossible’ Stunt —Plane Started Up in Midair

By MAJ. AL WILLIAMS

Times Aviation Editor

Recently I saw a man get out of his airplane and start the engine by swinging the propeller while the ship was in the air. I'd never thought aviation would progress to a point where such a

performance would be possible, or enough to try the stunt.

Two chaps took off in a 50-horse-

power Cub. One was the pilot and the other the starter-upper. At about 1000 feet the engine was cut and the propeller stopped in the horizontal position. The starter-upper climbed out on the landing gear strut, and, holding onto the door jamb, reached out

‘with ‘the right hand and swugg the

prop. By this I mean he spun the prop just as is customary in starting a plane’s engine on the ground.

It Caught Hold

The engine caught hold right away and merrily resumed its tune, pulling the ship through the air. Then they tried it again. This time the Cub’s engine was cut while

ground. So close were the performers this time that I could hear the pilot yell “contact.” Down came the starter-upper’s right hand. The prop moved about a quarter of a revolution. No go. The starter-upper took another try at it. A quarter of a turn again and it stood stock still, the plane losing altitude steadily. It certainly was a weird and thrilling performance. At 200 feet, with the little Cub nosing its way along in flat flight, the starter-upper frantically swung the prop once again. But the little prop was tired of all this foolishness and refused to turn more than the quarter of a turn. The pilot had nothing to do but

nose the Cub down to gain speed for a landing, while the starterupper scrammed back into the passenger’s cockpit. He made it just as the plane leveled off for a landing. During the war, there was a stock joke about the Southerner whose devoted colored servant insisted on going to war with his boss, until he learned that the boss-man was enlisting in the air service. The servant’s ardor about going to war cooled immediately. Artillery, infantry or machinegun battery was all right with him. But that aviation business was all wrong. “No Sir”

“No, Sir,” he said. “Suppose one of them flyin’ machine's engines should stop in the air, and you hollered, ‘Sam, get out and crank this thing up.’ No sir!” I experimented with the business of starting enginés in the air back in 1925, when I was trying to get permission to launch a V-E 17 (Vought) from underneath the airship Shenandoah. I had it worked out where I could spin the propeller of the Veught by diving the ship. I repeated the test by stopping the engine and measuring the loss of alti-
