T<ROM "The Wing Slip" published
III weekly at one of the American
n aviation camps in France, comes
this important set of directions
for young fiers:
Never 60 on to the flying field with the
common mob. Wait until the section has
marched out and then drift leisurely out,
an hour or so late. This will show Lieu
tenant Wells that flying means nothing in
your young life and will strongly ingra-
tiate you in his favor.
"On the way out cross the landing field,
forcing couple of planes to turn out of
your way, if possible. Your courage and
daring will be greatly admired by every
one.
"As soon you reach the field lay your
helmet and extra garments on the gasolene
car Sit down somewhere on tho car if
there are any vacant seats. The driver
will be greatly pleased at this trihing
courtesy. 1t all seats are taken, prone
made up and down in front of the fence,
waking over the wind Indicator as many
times as Aconvenient. If no seats are va
Gated, arrange yourself on the ground and
try to sleep Every one will then know
that you are old fier and that you do
not care to watch the landings and the
take-off
Never appear interested in the aero
planes or their actions. This is only done
by newcomers who waiting for their
first joy ride.
After you have been on the field ten or
htteen minutes, quietly approach Lieuten-
ant Wells and ask to be excused to go to
the l. NJ Z. A. to get cup of chocolate
This permission will be happily granted.
when you get to the Y. NJ. C. A. do not
return until the next morning.
"lf you do not get there the first time
keep on trying. This will show the lieu
tenant that you do not go after a thing
half-heartedly. From then on he will be
especially interested in your case
Always take a book along with you to
read. Your literary turn of mind will thus
be indicated and you will probably be re-
warded with an extra ridepossibly by the
lieutenant himself
If an accident occurs rush out to the
machine and cluster around. Do not hesi-
tate to take pieces of the wreckage for
mementos Get the atimeter or the car
buretor, or something that can be easily
packed for transportation.
when the class is dismissed scramble
for the barracks Do not wait for forma-
tlons or rollcall or anything like that

aeronautical engineer lies in the
E elimination of the parasite, or, as
the British call it, "fat-plate" re-
sistance, declares William B. Stout, tech
nical adviser of the Aircraft Board, in
"Aviation." Parasite parts, he explains,
are those
necessary for structural or operating rea
sons, but which offer resistance to forwaro
travel without adding to the lift support
of the plane. They include struts, wires,
landing gear, radiator, piping, exposed con-
trol wires, pulleys, body, tail surface edges,
