of the skull. 1t is much more impor-
tant that man should have both
arms intact than both legs. A clever
pilot who was killed on the western
front was Lord Lucas, who had an
artificial leg.
Considerable importance is attached
to the respiratory system In addition
to good, healthy lungs and vital capac-
ity, the would-be pilot must pass a
breath-hOlding test. This gives an in
dication of his capacity to stand the
strain of flying at high attitudes,
where the air is rarefied and breath
ing is difficult. No man with a weak
heart can hope to pass the tests.
Self-balancing is another test. The
candidate has to stand on one leg with
his eyes shut and his hands on his
hips. There is also the old test for
sobriety-walking a straight line heel
TO toe with eyes open and then turn
ing round and walking back without
losing balance. The Importance of
this test can be understood, seeing
that an aviator flying In dark cloud
or in a fog becomes unconscious of his
position and sometimes the machine
is actually upside down. 1t is essen
tial that he should not lose second
In recovering his balance.
The throat, nose and ear are care
fully examined, for any defects might
seriously handicap a man during the
great strain that all flying imposes.
With regard to the eyes, it is consid-
cred that pilots should have perfect
color vision, in order to pick out the
color or marking of hostile machines,
and in recognizing signal lights and in
judging the nature of landing grounds.
Air Sickness Rare.
A candidate who suffers from sea-
sickness or train sickness would not
be rejected OH those grounds alone.
Air sickness, caused by the rolling and
pitching Of the airplane, is a very rare
complaint, and sickness usually occurs
Immediately after landing.
An unstable nervous system suggest
ed by fidgety movements of the hands,
feet or face, or biting the nails Is a
poor recommendation.

Do This After You Eat
Hot Weather "Out of Fix" Stomachs
Easily Put Right

When hot weather comes, stomach
and bowel miseries begin. Strong,
sound stomachs as well as weak ones
are easily affected by the harmful
gases and acids so often produced in
the things we eat and drink during
bot weather. Winter-Nature's ice
box, is gone-hot weather breeds
the poisonous germs that cause pto-
maine poison in all its many forms.
Every one knows that the after-eat-
ing nausea, belching, that wretched,
bloatea, ''lumpy" feeling, sour stom-
ach, heartburn, food repeating, and
other forms of indigestion and dys-
pepsia are far more frequent during
bot weather. It is the time when YOU
have TO guard constantly against an
upset stomach and the many ills that
are always apt to follow. Then again
we have the worlds war to win
with the change of diet and extra
work which means we must all care

Marines Deserve their FOOD.

Your Uncle Sammy is very careful
of the stomach of his favorite fighters,
the marines. He spreads a bountiful
table for the soldiers of the sea ard

from ice cream TO strawberries. In
fact, his "chow" is as good as can be
obtained i'm some of our best hotels.
Last night Edward A. Burkheimer, a
husky from Pittsburgh, in the uniform
of a soldier of the sea, was hurrying
along Broadway TO subway station.

said, almost breathless. I'm due on

BUILD SHIPS AND WIN WAR"
schwsb Urges Workers to Do Their
Best TO Construct Bridge
Across the Ocean.

Bethlehem Shipyards, San Francis
co.-Declaring that II American ship
workers hold the pace they are now
setting the U-boat will be beaten "by
next year." Charles NJ. Schwab, direc-
tor general of the United States Emer-
gency Fleet corporation, exhorted
Americas 100000 shipbuilders to
throw their utmost strength TO their
task.
In an inspiring Independence day
address to workers Schwab said the
credit for winning the war will be
shared equally by the workmen OF
America and the fighters of America"
You are performing Il very neces-
sary and a very patriotic service" he
said. 1T will go farther, perhaps, to-
ward winning the war than any other
service short of the fighting in France.
America has asked you 10 build
ships in building them as well and as
fast as they can be built you are an
swering the call of America
Germany will soon know" he con-
tinued, that Americans have their
sleeves rolled up and we have our
fighting blood up and that with the
united backing of American workmen,
American armies can never be beaten.
Il venture to predict that the num-
Der of ships launched today is the
greatest record of launchings for SIM
gle day in the history Of the world.
There are 100000 of us shipbuild-
ers, and we are all fighting for Amer
lea. You men who swing the cranes
are in charge of the big guns. You
who drive the rivets are operating the
machine guns Of the shipyard.'

HOW NAMES BECOME CHANGED
Sometimes Intentionally, but Moro
often Due to the "Wear and
Tear Of Time"

"Who Was Who?" is the suggested
title for a new book TO contain the
names of all persons who have
changed their names. A new publica-
ton will do that in England. If the
work is carried back far enough 1t will
be found that scarcely n name has
survived the wear and tear of time.
Some of the changes are intentional,
like our daily applications in court, but
most of them are due to bad spoilers
or poor pronunciation and phonetic
spelling to express the errors Of pro-
nunciation. Our Dutch ancestors had
a habit of cutting off everything that
went down to and including the evan"
The name "Burch" was originally
"Birch" and meant man who lived by
the birch tree. 1t is a curious COM

DEFECTS SPELL
DEATH IN FLYING

New Considerable concern
has been expressed at the large num-
Der of fatal accidents reported from
our American military and naval avia-
ton training camps Considering the
risks the novice necessarily takes and
the very special physiological and psy-
Geological factors that enter into the
science of flying, these fatal accidents
are few i'm proportion to the number
of men undergoing training, and they
are not more numerous than those on
the training fields of Great Britain,
France and Italy.
A perfect knowledge of all the rules
Of the game OF flying will not save a
man who lacks confidence in himself
and is inclined TO hesitate. A half
second of indecision may be fatal. In
itiative, the sporting instinct and a
certain irresponsibility, qualities In
herent in American youth, have been
found of far greater value I'm the air
