Vernon Castles Temporal
ment Makes Him Good
Aviator.

New York, August 4.-That Yer
non Castle, so soon after arriving in
England, should win a commission as
lieutenant in the royal flying corps
argues well for his aptitude as
pupil in this newest, most romantic,
and most dangerous form of fighting.
If Vernon Castles brains are scat
tered, as his detractors say, provi-
dence must ave scattered them most
Judiciously.
The artificial tests are a duplicate,
as near as they can be initiated, OF
the difficulties and dangers to be met
aloft over the battlefront when dodg-
ing shells from below or maneuver-
Ing for position to engage in a duel
with a hostile airman. These are
some of the amazing tests to which
the airmen are subjected:
To test ability to stand the strain
on his hands by maneouvers in the
air, the pupil exercises on a register
ing machine with two levers, which
he works rhythmically like the con-
trolls Of an aeroplane. To pass he
must furnish an effort equivalent to
LAG foot-pounds before showing
signs Of fatigue.
To prove rapidity of perception,
placed before a clock dial, the pupil
has to keep his eye on the second
hand, snd the instant it starts NOV
ing he must stop it by pressing a
button, in twenty-three hundredths of
a secondl
While the pupils hands are in con-
tact with a sensitive registering ma
chine, which also responds to the
slightest irregular movements of his
heart and lungs, he is drenched with
cold water, startled by magnesium
! flash, or by a revolver's discharge be-
hind his head.
Aviation demands men of live nerve
who can vitalize the dead planes of
an aeroplane so they become as sensi-
tive as the wings of swallow. These
highly strung birdmen must adapt
themselves to the vagaries of flight
with a quicEness impossible to the
nerveless type of man, whose imagi-
nation is dull, and whose nervous re-
actions are sluggish.
Maybe dancing and preparedness
are complimentary terms!

SENATOR HARDWICK
LEADS IN OPPOSITION

Washington, Aug. Attacking the
child labor bill as unconstitutional
Senator Hardwick opened debate in
the senate today on behalf of those
southern senator's who are opposing
tn emeasure. He declared that the
right to enact such legislation was
vested only in the legislatures of the
states.
The senate bill, he said, far exceeds
the limits set down by congress and
the supreme court in the lottery stat
ute, which advocates of the legisla-
ton set up in defense of its consti-
tutionality.
1.-THE subterfuge in the house bill
demonstrable, but in the senate bill
all subterfuge is cast aside because
you openly undertake to exclude from
commerce every product Of one who
violates your rule of conduct. A
manufacturer may have twenty de-
partments and employ children in
only one. Under this bill the product
of all the other nineteen departments
will be equally prohibited with that
of the childrens' department from en-
tering into interstate and foreign
commerce."
He said that under the lottery stat
ute, only lottery tickets produced by
a printer were denied to commerce.
''The legislation before US is direct
ed against a purely domestic and in
ternal affair."" he continued. 81 am
