ism.

our flag to be mother of all nations of
the earth. Our president, Wilson, he
feels strong like lion. God save him
and give him long life.
1--WE must get together and help the
flag by given little means, the best we
can, to help to carry on this monster
war. Every man living 10 this coun-
try should donate $500 as it takes Is
to 100 of us to support one soldier, one
doctor and one red cross. We must
give the soldiers all they need and
plenty of everything. They will fight
like lions, and God bless them. We
don't want the enemy to get us, but
we want to get them! Amenl Amen!

.tJ. S. AIR FIGHTERS
AS NEAR PERFECT
AS A MAN CAN BE.

The reason there are many vacan-
cies in the aviation section is that on
ly small percentage Of those who ap-
ply can pass the physical test Here's
what one must do after filling out a
series of application forms:
Have you ever been seasick?" is
the first question popped Aviators
must be immune to NAL de mer meer.
Tests for near-sightedness and far
sightedness, color perception graded
to finest tones and vision follow. vi
sion must be normal
Heart lung and blood pressure must
be perfect.
Feet must be well shaped and the
nervous system normal. Chest expan-
sion must be three or more inches in
fated.
Equilibry tests are next. The APP
plicant shuts his eyes and balances
himself on his toes with heels and
toes together. 1t sounds simple but
try it. Then with eyes still shut he
balances on each foot bringing the
other up until the heel touches the
kneecap.
! Eyes are then examined more min
utely by the use of belladonna and
the iris is "X-rayed" to make dOubly
sure there is no infection Large ton
sils and adenoids must be removed.
Teeth must be good and sound. Nasal
passages must be clear.
/ ! Hearing must be perfect. The tick
of watch must be heard at five feet
Across a twenty-five foot space the
applicant must differentiate between
] glass" and grass" and "brass" spok-
EN- in barely audible whisper.
Equilibrium, the seventh sense
must be perfectly developed. The
other senses must be perfect for one
impaired sense Injuries the balance
sense"
The applicant is seated in revolv-
ing chair much the same as those used
by BARRIERS or dentists. He is whirled
ten times in each direction as fast as
the chair will revolve with eyes shut.
Suddenly stopped, he is to look in the
opposite direction from which he has
been whirled. The regular jumping
'of the eyeball as the brain seeks to
regain it's equilibrium shows how
quickly the applicant is finding his
balance.
Forty times more the applicant is
tWlrled, sitting straight with ewes
shut and with head dropped at an an
gle of As degrees with the torso. He
is told to sit straight when suddenly
stopped, or to raise his hand straight
In front of him. If normal he will
throw his weight far to the opposite
side from which he has been whirled
he IS then stood on his feet and with
eyes closed is told to walk in a
sCralght line to the opposite side of
the room.
Many applicants are compelled to
nave minor operations before thew are
ellglble. Examining officers report
that II possible to pass by an opera
ton the applicants in every instance
Immediately make arrangements to be
operated on.
Inc standard for admission to the
aviation section has been reduced
from college education or it's eouiv-
alent to the equivalent of two wears
college training. Athletes who ex-
celled in school are particularly de-
sired and it is well to have perfume
tory knowledge at least of automobiles
and motorcycles and the theoretical
of motors. The age limit has
been reduced to 10.
