rauaht to Use Both Ex.s.

The royal air force of England has
instituted an eye drill that has made
many splendid pilots out Of smen who
otherwise would have been useless. It
was discovered that a large percent
age Of men only use one eye M time
and in the early days pilots were not
tested for eye balance Many men
were then passed into the air service
who could never and correctly When
these deficiencies were discovered n
school was formed and under an eye
specialist twice day airmen under
going the cure were paraded for eye
drill and taught how to use both their
eyes at the same time. The result was
that 50 per cent Of the men who would
have been bad pilots >became good
ones In a little while.
