Airmen Subjected
To Severe
Nerve Tests
Ola Nature.)

Aspirants to enlistment in the
aviation corps of the French army
are put through many physical and
mental tests before being accepted.
Their reaction to sensations of sight,
hearing and touch is tested, some
times with delicate instruments
which measure in hundredths of a
second the time elapsing between
the cause of the sensation and its
perception.
Those whose reaction are quick
14-1OO to 1900 of a second for au-
ditive and tactile, 1900 of a second
for those of visual originate con-
sidered good material; those whose
reactions are slow are rejected. Re-
actions of from 1900 to 33-10O OF
auditive impressions, 2O-1O0 to So
100 of a second for tactile, 22-10O to
4S-100 of a second for visual, mean
too slow for aviatin.
Besides these, the effect of emo
lions upon the respiration, the pull
sation of the heart, the vaSo-motor
nerves, ETC., is tested. The candidate
sits at table, his chest encircled by
a pneumograph; he takes in one OF
his hands an instrument that meas
lures his heart beats, in the other he
takes an instrument called a 'trem-
bier" On the table is a Marcy reg
istering cylinder, with its three
drums turned spontaneously by
clock-work Each CT these is Con-
nected with the pneumograph and
the other apparatus, and as they
turn a needle registers upon smoked
paper.
The tests consist of firing pistol
behind the candidate, setting OF a
flash of magnesium close to him and
suddenly applying a cloth soaked in
cold water to the back of his neck
or shoulders.
These tests, devised by Drs. Camus
and Nepper, have been tried upon
many of the most daring heroes of
the flying squads of the French and
Russian armies, and have been
proved to be correct.

with long-handled sickle, moving
grass that was too long for the lawn
mower and to short for a sythe, sug-
gested to group Of men here the
advantage of manual labor to the
golfer. A certain property owner on
the south side hired a man to cut his
grass. The man devised a long
handled sickle to avoid the necessity
for STOPPING over when making the
strokes. He used the same motion
that is gone through with by a man
who is driving golf ball except
that he does not get so much swing
and his carry through is checked by
the grass. He makes a sort of left
ing stroke, as though using a mid
iron to pitch onto the green. This
was suggested by a golfer who saw
the man at work. This golfer pro-
poses to try cutting grass to give
him muscle that would come in ham

There is question, however.
whether muscle counts in golf
Great strength certainly is not any
help. 1t is not the force with
which the club is swung; it is the
speed of the club that counts and
the faster the club is travelling when

ball will be driven. A man of aver
age strength, with the requisite skill
can drive a ball as far as a man

CHANGEABILITY OF
HUMAN NATURE

Of course no one of sense has ever
taken the tales of the enormous sala-
RIGS maid to actors in the moving
picture business with any degree OF
lbelief. The stories that this man
or that woman was ION the payroll
away up in the thousand figures per
bweek have been understood as mere
advertising stunts to keep before the
public the names of each special one
for it has been the custom to, IN
numerous cases, pay more attention
to the cold cash than to the capa-
bilities of the performer.
And now comes the head of the
great Selig corporation who has no
oualms of conscience over explain
/! ing that the stories of huge salaries
are but a myth; that in all the lists
there are less than dozen high-sal-
aried people-and hat there are but
two in the entire country receiving
more than ten thousand year.
While the posted ones felt sure OF
this. his verification makes the as
surance the greater.
The public has been considering
the high-salaried performer and the
hhi2h-salaried official in two entirely
different focuses. The public would
i!gloat at the stories of an actor and
Ibis thousand dollar day" wage
but would shout 'retrenchment" at
an official receiving a few thousand
"a year. Why the difference in the
conclusions reached? If an actor
was the more attractive because of
some enormous salary why should
mot an official who holds important
positions for county or State be
that much more valuable if his emo
luments were raised to a proportion
ately high rate?-Palm Beach Post.
