OUTLINES AIR WORK
AFTER WORLD WAR
Confined From Page One,

measurements are taken. While he
stands waiting, bucket of Ice water
Is suddenly thrown over him from be-
hind. If he jnmps-good night! Even
if he doesn't jump, his pulse is imme-
diately taken again by the examining
officers. II his pulse is few beats
faster than before. his nerves are not
what they should be. He may be a
perfectly capable citizen-but he isn't
built for war aviation.
Test Of Balance.
After that--still keeping up tho en-
tcrtainmcnt-the recruit is placed on
n piano stool. An officer holds both
hands close before the recruits eyes,
telling him 10 focus upon the hands.
Then the recruit is whirled around
until he is dizzy. The piano stool Is
stopped. Extreme dizziness causes
temporary blindness. II the candidate
doesn't recover his keenness Of sight
and perfect focus within 40 seconds
he hasn't passed that test. Perfect
cyesight is an absolute necessity to
the military aviator. Recovering from
the dizziness caused by being rapidly
sense Of balance.
Another Eye Test.
Another eye test follows. The re-
cruit is given handful Of worsted
yarns of different colors and shades
of color. He must be able to sepa-
rate these and put together those that
match. If he tries to match a black
and a dark blue, or a yellow and a
light orange. he Is color blind. He
won't do.
An American Test.
All of these tests are similar to
those used in foreign aviation service.
| Sometimes the examining officers
think of few variations. so that the
candidates won't know just what to
| expect from the experiences of those
| who have gone before. But when all
| have been passed there still remains
one more test that he Is thoroughly
| American and up to date. and that Is
not yet beng used abroad.
The recruit is placed on tandem
| motorcycle driven by an officer. who
takes him whirling over several miles
|
Upon his return nc is asked to de-
scribe the details of the landscape and
OF everything that attracted his atten-
ton along the route. This Is n test of
| the powers of obscrvatiOn--of direct
importance in an aviator who flies
over enemy lines and must turn in a
comprehensive and accurate report
when he comes back.
Hardest in the World.
Having passed the test. the recruit
is sent to camp to learn aviation
Taken all around. these tests are thu
hardest given by any government ir
the world. Mr.. Henry Wodehouse Of
the Aero club. who as sort OF :
, consulting expert for the government
, originated or recommended this man
, ner of selecting men for the air serv
! ice. says that when we have selected :
certain number of candidates the con
ditions may be slightly modified.

BRYAN BUSHES NORTH
TO OPPOSE PRESIDENT
Cancels Several Speaking Dates
in Florida.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. - w. j.
Bryan in a statement here announced
he was opposed to granting powers to
the President such as Mr.. Wilson re-
quested of congress. He announced he
would go Immediately to Washington
and use his influence to have the re-
quest denied.
After reading President Wilson'S adj
dress to congress Mr.. Bryan conceded
five speaking engagements in Florida,
and since that time has been in COM
munication by telegraph with congress
sional friends in Washington.
Whatever power is conferred upon
the President should, | think" said
Mr. Bryan, "be SO limited as not to
constitute surrender of the power
of congress"
Mr. Bryan said that he had the
greatest faith in the Presidents high
purpose, but was of the opinion that il
would be unwise to delegate to one
President the authority asked for, mo
matter how much confidence we have
in the executive"

The Turk and the Crescent.

The crescent was not originally an
emblem of the Turk. 1t was first used
by the primitive Christians Of Con-
stantinople and the eastern provinces
Of the old Roman empire as an en-
blem Of the growing influence of Chris
tianity. 1t was not until about the
year 1853, after the Turks had ever
run Asia Minor and parts Of southern
Europe and had captured CONSTANT
nople, that the Turks adopted the cres-
cent as their national emblem. The
Koran prohibits the use Of images
and symbols in the religious cere-
monies of the strict Turk or the inter-
nal decorations Of their temples and
mosques, the rule being so strict as
not to allow the martial or civic deco
ration Of their greatest generals or
pashas, successful commanders or 9TH
er distinguished persons. The adop-
ton Of the crescent by the Turk as a
national emblem is an oddity which
has so far remained unexplained

White Of an Egg.

The white of an egg is made up of
little cells filed with albumen. By
beating the white these cells are rup-
tured and oxygen, from the air is in
closed, which gives the white and light
appearance of beaten eggs. The white
of a stale egg will not inclOse as much
oxygen, will not be as light and as
easily digested as that of the fresh egg
and is, of course, less valuable. he
Importance of beating the egg in cold
pure air is readily seen.-Exchange

AS the bill had been read to the
senate Senator La Toilette sought to
prevent it's consideration or introduc-

parliamentary wrangle which made it
apparent that a legislative battle was
impending. Senator Watson of Indiana
sought to ascertain whether the for
favored the measure but Senator
Stone declined to say how the COM
mittee stood.

Senator La Follette's objection pre-
vented all further consideration of the
bill after the first reading. Under a.
ruling by Vice President Marshall, the
measure went over. Senator Stone
tried in vain to withdraw the bill and
send it back to the foreign relations
committee.

SarsapariIia-Fine Course Of Med'c'ne'

Physicians and pharmacists have long
known the desirabiity and difficulty OF
combining iron--a superlative tonic-in a
blood purifying medicine.
The combination of the iron with
Hoods Sarsaparilla has now been secured
through the happy thought of prescribins
Peptiron Pills in connection with the
Sarsaparilia-the latter before eatlhS'
Peptiron Pills after.
In this way the two medicines work
harmoniously, giving four-fold results IN
blood-cleansing and up-building.
Peptiron Pills include pepsin and iron,
note the name, Peptiron Pills -nuX vom-
lea, manganese, other tonics. digestives
and laxatives.
What better course of medicine can you
imagine for this season? You get blood
