On account OF the supreme impor-
lance of knowing, i'll advance, whether
candidates for the aeroplane service
possess these requisites, the French
army authorities have adopted num-
Der of testing devices, one OF which
is shown in the accompanying photo
graphs.
Three OF these instruments are used
simultaneously One OF them is the
"pncumograph' (breath MARKER. 1t
records the rate OF the respirations,
which varies with both the degree OF
fatigue and the nervous tension. 1t is
actuated through girdle around the
breast which responds to every move

Another is the "doightier" Ginger

Parasols are hand-painted.
Low shoes will show buckles.
Large neck frills are still popular
The newest reticules are very
small.
Dresses of wash silk are very fash.
ionable.
Pastel blue is charming over petal
rose chiffon.
Hand-painted floral designs are
still seen on hats.
White silk gloves will be worn
again this summer.
Bottle green and beige make a
pleasing combination.
Delicate shades Of horsehair are
still in favor for hats.
Sports coats of taffeta come in del
icate blues and pinks.
Square cut necks are finished with
white aeroplane collars.
Black brassieres are either plain or
trimmed with lace or net.
Blazer stripes are used as trim
mings on children's hats.
A great deal of ribbon is used on
the fashionable nightgown.
White gauntlet gloves of kid, en-
broidered in colors, are smart.
A fashionable fantasy is a tulle
frilled cape for summer wear.
The wide petticoat is coming into
its own at very rapid rate.
Flesh color is often used to trim
navy blue, with excellent effect.
Shocking on the hips carries out
the idea of fullness of the skirt.
Fashionable spring frocks are
trimmed with coffee-colored laces.
Bands of cretonne make pretty
trimming for the little girls dress.
Straw and lowered linen make a
pretty combination for child's hat.
Mole fur is favorite for summer
wear, partly on account of its neutral
color.
A fawn-like brown paper is a pop
ular shade for spring or summer
dress.
Not only do they use beads in en-
broidery on frocks, but they are US

He was, al rate, wiser than the

deal more than the young couple can
or should afford, and, to conclude
with, it is often anything but an I'M

Because it is supposed to be fash

Science as O. Nerve Detective

a second around which travels swiftly
revolving pointer making one COM
plete revolution in a second. The
candidate holds in his right hand an
electric grip, by squeezing which he
can instantaneously arrest the pointer.
The examiner sets the pointer in revo-
luton by an electromagnetic con-
nection which makes loud tap as it
starts. The candidate is required to
stop the pointer by squeezing the
grip the instant he hears the tap,
The distance which the pointer has
travelled round the disk before the
candidate arrests it measures the time
taken by him to respond to the sound
In the same way his quickness OF
response to impressions on the eye
and on the sense of touch is measured.
An acceptable candidate stops the
pointer within l5-l00th OF a second in
the case of touch or hearing, and
within l9-l00ths in that of sight. Re-
jected candidates run from 17-l00ths
to 33-l00ths for hearing, 20-l00ths to
39-l00ths for touch. and 22-l00ths to
48-l00ths for sight.
Still another test is that of fatigue
Of the arms and hands, which is de-
termined by the "ergograph" work

candidate lays his right hand, palm
upward, on the table before him, in

bending the finger lifts a weight at

self-recording pen traces on a revolv-
ing disk a curve that gives a graphic
measurement of the number of bend
ings and the time elapsed before the
finger is tired out"

special Importance for the arman, on
account of the incessant demands
made by the controlling levers OF an
aeroplane. If such qualities could be
transmitted from generation to gen.
Grafton, together with a gradually in
creasing severity in the selective
tests, there can be no doubt that a
race OF airmen" would be developed,
endowed with many of the instructive
powers OF birds. 1t is, perhaps, as
much superiority OF mechanism that
gives the bird its present advantage
over the aviator.
