AIR GAME CALLS
FOR NEW SCIENCE
"Psychiatry Board" Organized
to Balance Aviator Nerves

Dallas, Texas, April 5.-Necessity
for the mental poise that is a re-
quisite of the success full aviator has
developed a psychiatry board in each
aviation training camp in Texas. 1t is
the function Of those boards to streng-
then the balance of the cadets and
weed out those who show obvious un-
fitness for the trying work in the air.
The aviation service requires great
mental alertness and many prospec-
tive aviators have been transferred to
other branches OF the service.
This war, physicians say, has de-
veloped greater reaction on the mind
than has any previous conflict. Such
results are due to shell shock, under
ground living, the constant viewing of
death and the high development of
the instruments of warfare. They
are manifest some times by an inclin-
alton to desert after months of train
ing which is a symptom of mental de-
ficiency, officers say. Ordinarily
soldier, disciplined and trained for
months, responds to orders automati-
cally. 1t is the mission of the PSYCHE
artist board to weed out men who are
likely to fail in critical moments
The testing of the students minds
is going on constantly, often without
their knowledge. Some tests appear
foolish and provide great amusement
to the students. A cadet is some
times required to shake his head VOL
emily from side to side six or eight
times and then with his eyes closed
commanded to touch his nose with his
right fore-finger. Inability to touch
the nose indicates a lack Of the sense
of balance in some degree. This does
not imply a mental deficiency and the
desired sense of balance often can be
developed in those at first lacking it.
Problems to test mental alertness
are given for instant, solution. A SER
les of circles is made on a white sheet |
of paper by the, men and they then
are ordered to draw continuous line
over the first, two under the second !
three, over and then under and SO on

CIVIL EXPENSES OF
BRITISH RUN HIGH

London, April 5.-The sum of $780,
000,OOO was expended in maintaining
the Civil Services in Great Britain for
the past year, says an official an
nouncement. This includes the sums
spent on the Kings palaces. Immense
eXcesses Of expenditure over the
amounts originally estimated are &C.
counted for by war bonuses, increas-
cd cost OF lab0y and material and the
higher cost of food.
In some items there are consider
able savings. Members of Parliament
turned back their salaries to the
amount of $4,000. There is a saving
in the estimates for prisons, due to
the decrease in the number of prison
ers,~ reformatCries and similar inStitu-
tons, however, cost more, owing to u
larger number Of juvenile delinquents.
There were considera BILE savings in
the diplomatic and consular service
due to. the withdrawal OF missions
from enemy countries.
Another side of war is reflected in

TEST PROVESTHAT
NON-SKID TIR ES
saw E GASOLINE

Few automobile owners, in these
days when everybody is doing his bit
to eliminate waste, realize the saving
in gasoline by the use of nonskid
tires. Engineers agree without excep-
ton that the non-skid tire delivers
the maximum OF power-developed by
the motor because OF its firm grip -un
the road.
While the nonskid tree has always
To- been considered an essential in win.
ter, 1t is coming more and more into
all.year-arOund use The inherent
characteristic OF the nonskid tire is
its abilityto grip the ground aQd pre-
vent slippage. 1t is plain to- be seen
that when the wheel makes COM
plete revolution without slipping. the
all of'the, power developed has been
used In moving the car forward, and
the gasoline consumed has been ex;
pended 10 the, best possible" advan
tage. "'~E7 st' '..~.
To' prove the economy of nonskiGs
Joe Dawson, holder Of the worlds "a
hour record, made a test by, using
both nonskid and ribbed tread tires
under identical conditions and com.
pairing results. In preparing for the
big race in which he covered 1893
miles last August, provision had to be
made against a slippery track and
other unfavorable conditions. The
tires had to be proof against skidding
and the tread so made that the car
could be stopped quickly without slid

tire that would develop the greatest
speed
In the test run of 100 miles. regular
racing tires with three thick ribs
around the circumference OF the tire
were used first Then Royal Cords
which have nonskid treads, were used
for the same distance. The timing
showed that the car maintained a
greater speed with the nonskid tires
than with the ribbed-tread tires.
After breaking the "a hour record
on Royal Cords, Dawson became so
enthusiastic over them that he equip
ped his stunt car with tliem and
broke intercity records all over the
country. The champion never tried
for an intercity record that he did
not get. Some of the trips were
made over wet roads, but the nonskid
Royal Cords held his car, true on the
turns and over the slippery" surfaces,
delivering the maximum of power from
the motor to the road.
Tests of this kind are of real value
to the automobile owner when they
are made by drivers of recognized
skill such as Dawson. They go far to
convince the tire buyer that he can
have non.skid protection.in both front /
and rear with a minimum of gasoline
consumption. Many drivers prefer the
plain tread for the front wheels on
the tehory that they make steering
easier.

CORPSE SHIPS ONE OF
ORIENT'S ODD SIGHTS


Bagdad, April 5.-4Nothing in the
land OF strange things strikes the
European visitor so strangely as the
corpse ship" It is a huge barge
piled high with native corpses. many
of them several years old, which are
being carried down the river to rest
in a cemetery near the whitened
bones of the Prophet.
The bodies are piled on deck pack
ed tight in. straw cases; on top Of
which the Arab attendants sit non
chalently and play a native game re-
sem3ing dominoes. Some of the
corpses are comparatively new others
old. 1t all depends on how long it
took the family of the deceased to
save enough money to pay the cost
of TRANSFORMATION.
