Snow and for. a combination known to aviators as "soupy weath er," brought two adventures to Earl Barnes, night avail pilot of the Embry-Riddle division of American Airways, yesterday. An adventure on the northbound Cincinnati-Indianapolis-Chicago run early yesterday morning, with disaster looking almost inevitable, had a happy ending, while another last night was more serious. Flying northbound in the morning he lost his way in a growing snowstorm and flew "blind" until his fuel ran low.

Then, setting his parachute, he fixed his plane downward and settled to earth. The open biplane landed in mud and snow and flipped over on its back beside a filling station In Blue Island, 111., operated by Edward Jed-licks, Suffers Cuts, Bruises. Jedllcka stared in surprise when Barnes swung himself out of the cockpit, walked into the station and said: "May I use your telephone?" Barnes went on to Chicago and, later in the day, his craft, which suffered only a damaged propellor and minor punctures of the wings, was flown into Chicago. Last night Barnes started south, on the run that touches Municipal airport, Indianapolis, at 10:45 o'clock. Nearing Lebanon, he ran into another stretch of heavy snow and fog and 'attempted a landing on the emergency landing field there.

The plane crashed and Barnes suffered cuts about the face and bruises. Extent of damage done the plane had not been ascertained last night. 15 Guests Welcome, But Sixteenth Is Not Because He Took $3 Fifteen of the guests were welcome. The sixteenth was not. While Andrew Carr was entertaining fifteen friends in his home at 881 Fletcher avenue Saturday night an uninvited stranger made a quiet visit, stole $3 and departed.

The party went on with unabated merriment until Carr discovered the theft of the money from a bedroom. The thief had entered the room through a window. Master Mind Fail. Ernest Hubbard, Negro, 1902 Mar-tindale avenue, believed he had things figured out. Ernc3t was arrested Saturday night on gambling charges along with flf.

teen other Negroes who were found in his place. Reasoned Ernest: "If the police arrest me on Saturday night, it's not likely they will come agajn Sunday. Anybody would have sense to know that one arrest Is enough for one man over one week-end." Ernest was wrong. He was con vlnced of it when Sergt. Dan Cun mlngs and a squad paid his place an other visit yesterday, Ernest and three other Negroes were arrested on charges of gambling and an addi tional charge of resisting an officer was placed against Hubbard.

He simply did not like to be wrong so many times and he let the police know it. After Ernest was subdued the po lice gathered up two pairs of dice, the kitty," which consisted of a small amount of money, and their prisoners and departed. A Tip to Motorists. The man who makes the best of a bad situation is a philosopher. George Farmer, 811 Chase street, was such when his ear ran out of gasoline early yesterday.

Sleep will not bring gasoline but will cure the desire for it. 'And so Farmer. curled up in his car and was sawing logs in no time. Neighbors, however, did not know that, a philosopher was in their midst. They became suspicious and called police, Farmer had no difficulty explaining tho situation, Now They Start Young! Nowadays they start young.

But even police were surprised when the burglars they were sent to arrest yesterday afternoon turned out to be three small boys, 6, 11 and 14 years old, one white and two older ones Negroes, F. E. Engles, 41C3 Otterbelif avenue, manager of a Standard grocery at 942 South Meridian Btreet, found them in the store when he went to do some work yesterday and Jield them until the arrival of police. The floor was littered with crackers, pieces of cheese and half eaten pies and links of bologna. In a garage nearby a market basnet full of candy was found hidden.

One of the youthful "desperadoes" carried a "cap buster" in his pocket, but in his fright forgot all about it. The boys were sent to the Marlon county juvenile detention home and their parents notified. They had entered the store by breaking the glass in a transom and crawling through it.

The Nutionul Defense Act compromised seemingly Irreconcilable conditions by creating nn uriny of threw component parts, namely, the first a small permanent establishment to furnish the necessary overhead and professional instructors; second, a National Guard of tho several states, supported Jointly by Federal and state funds, to meet Internal discords and emergencies and to constitute, with the permanent establishment, a first line to sustain tho initial shock of a foreign assault and hold till the third and niort Important component, namely tho Keserve, could mobilize, equip and pnrtlally train a sufficient number ot draft troops to bn an effective derrnse.
