new PLAN FOR TRAINING
AMERICAN AIR FIGHTERS
New Plan Insures Closer Contact
Between Instructor and Student

Experienced flying officers are be-
ing returned from abroad to act rs
special instructors il the more ad-
vanced cources OF aviation training
which is being developed by the air
service
Recent practice in elemental train
ing now gives the candidate more
time in the air with his instructor
than heretofore. The new plan is
known as the Gosport system OF "All
Thru" as it Is popularly called here,
and insures closer contact between
the cadet and instructor. When the
cadets arrive at flying field from
the ground school, where they have
learned much of the theory of fight
engine control and repair, radio,
signaling and other kindred subjects,
several of them are assigned to an
instructor who stays with them un-
til they are qualified in elemental
flying They are then sent to the
spcial schools for final work and
training in their particular line, as
pursuit, reconnaissance, artillery
control or bombing pilots. The old
practice of giving a cadet SO much
time in the air under instruction and
then turning him loose for his first
solo flight, In sink or swim" fash
ion, is being discontinued, and what
is believed to be a more safe and
sane system Il being adopted.
Organization of forty air squad
rons has been authorized Four will
be located at Houston, Tex, and SO,
or training brigade of three wings,
on Long Island, N. Y.
The base Of this Long Island train
ing brigade, as now planned, will be
Hazelhurst field, near Mineola The
squadrons will be quartered in groups
of four OF nine outlying fields These
squadrons are to serve under field
conditions stimulating, as nearly as
practicable, the conditions behind the
lines in France.

SPIRIT OF Y. NJ. q. A. WORKERS

The following we take from the
Literary Digest and is told by "Y"
worker, who has seen service and
returned to this country for a rest.
It tells OF the remarkable spirit
OF self-sacriflce among the workers;
II remember particularly one
preacher who came to France with
the belief that he would save lot
OF soldiers from the tobacco evil.
His personal feelings against tobac-
co we're so strong that he felt him
self unable to sell the weed in one
OF our canteens. This was not dis
covered until the clergyman had been
put In charge OF hut Immediately
behind the lines.
"One night there was considerable
infantry activity In this sector. Al
dawn the walking cases among the
wounded began returning to a rest
station far behind the ~ hut. a
party of twelve or thirteen under
Sergeant stopt at the hut
THE retary-clergyman saw
wounded men returning from thu
trenches for the first time. They sale
they we're broke and asked TO
chocolate. He gave It to them. III
asked the men II they wanted any
thing else.

"The sergeant told him that the
only thing they needed was cigar
cites. They needed them badly.
There was a supply In the hut The
anti-tobacco clergyman hesitated for
about one-half second. Then his
program for saving men from nico-
tine went by the board. He passed
cigarettes around to each of the
wounded men. They departed for
the rear.
I'm a few minutes another group
came along. They. too. needed some
thing to smoke. A third group APP
peared. Again the cigarettes were
distributed.
"By this time the clergyman dis
covered that his supply of matches
was practically exhausted. The
fourth batch of visitors completely
consumed 1t.
For the rest of this day this cru
sader against tobacco found himself
doing the only thing that would en-.
able him to look his wounded coun.
trymen In the eye as they stopt al
the hut for rest. He kept a cigarette
glowing in his own lips all day Ions
so that each boy would be able tt
get light"

PLENTY OF SULPHUR TO
CARRY ON WAR WORK

The United States has vast known
sulphur deposits guaranteeing an
abundant supply for the manufac-
ture of sulphuric acid and other nee
essary war materials for the success
full prosecution of the war.
Two great plants are now turning
out most OF the sulphur needed. One
is in Louisiana and the other In Tex
as. There are two other known de-
posits which can be opened up quick
ly in case of necessity. Preliminary
work on one of these is under pro-
gress to meet any unexpected emer-
gency, such as destruction OF damage
by hurrican as occurred recently at
the Louisiana plant.
Sulphur is melted in the ground
by steam and hot water and forced
TO the surface through wells where
the molten sulphur solidifies on ex-
posure to the air The sulphur de-
posit underlies bed of quicksand
through which It Is impossible tc
drive shafts and mine In the ordin.
ary way. The development of this
projects is one of the interesting me-
chanical achievements of the past de-
cade. and the United States is nov
by far the greatest sulphur producer

TESTS AT MINEOLA DISPEL
A WIDESPREAD DIFFUSION

Deaf mutss will not be accepted
for the aviation war service by the
division of military aeronautics. Hun
dreds of young men have been en-
by unauthorized statements which
are being Investigated because of a
suspicion that German propaganda
might be at the bottom of the agi-
tation.
The medical research laboratory
at Mineola, L. l., conducted a series
of tests to ascertain what effect. If
any, the absence of the delicate bal
ancing apparatus that exists in nor
NAL inner ears has upon persons who
are without them. The erroneous
idea was circulated that since deaf
mutes possess little. if any, sensi-
tivity of the inner ear they would
be little subject to dizziness and
therefore make good flyers.
Seven deaf mutes who had new
er flown were blindfolded, seated in
planes and told that after reaching
certain level the pilto would exc
cute a number of evolutions which
he, the passenger, was to record and
to make particular note in which the
plane had been turned to the right
or left, up or down. The flights in
cluded stretches of level flying.
climbing, left and right turns, dips
and banks.
Being blindfolded and minus the
equilibrium of balancing organs in
their ears the deaf mutes failed to
note changes of even as much as 80
degrees. They could not differenti
ate the deepest right from the deep
est left banks, nor notice the differ
ence between climbing or diving in
practically vertical position. They
were virtually lost in space.
Members of the medical research
laboratory have reported officially
that the less sensitivity of individu-
ais to change of position the less eff
flcient would these individuals be In
the air; and that It would be ride
ulous for deaf mutes to attempt to
fly 1t has been determined that one
who shows by the turning chair test
that he has normal ear mechanism
possesses good detection of move
ment in the air, and that one who
fails to pass this test possesses poor
detection of movement in the air

The length of time during which
men will be trained in the colleges
will depend on the needs of the
service. AS fast as one group of
trained men is drawn from the COL

will be taken by new quota OBJ

CONFECTIONERS ACT ON
SUGGESTION FROM FOOD
ADMINISTRATION

Dallas, Texas. Sept. l0.-A severe
blow will be suffered by the person
with a sweet tooth in the an
nouncement that no one will be al
lowed to buy more than pound OF
candy at a time and that the con-
suming public will be requested to
limit its aggregate purchases of can
dies and chocolates to one-halt its
usual consumption.
This is in accordance with action
taken by the National Confection
ers' Association, comprising about
800 Of the largest candy manufac-
turers in the United States, which
was prompted by suggestion from
the Federal Food Administration.
Complaint to the food administra-
ton had been made by many people
who said that they were allowed but
two pounds OF sugar per month,
whereas all the candy one desired
could be purchased. To eliminate
ground for this complaint the iood
administration asked the contec-
TONERS voluntarily to undertake the
action outlined heretofore.

Hungarian Leader
IndOrses Wilson'S
Program for Peace

Basel. Monday, Sept. 9,-Presi-
dent Wilson's program as basis
for the negotiations for peace are
endorsed by Count Michael Karolyi,
president of the Hungarian inde-
pendent party. A dispatch from Bud
apest quoting from an open letter
written by Count Karolyi to his
electors to whom he recommends an
early peace, says:
"A decisive military victory, de-
spite its successes. is dream tor
which it is useless to pursue. The
prime condition OF peace negotia-
tons in the characterization of ma
tons and the abandonment of inn
perialst theories. A second condi-
ton is that we should not become
slaves to the idea Of a middle Europe,
either militarily, economically, or
politically, and that we should not
strengthen our alliance with Ger
many which would form the firm
step towards the realization OF this
central Europe.
I'VE ought to accept as basis for
negotiations President Wilson's
program.
