CHAMPAGNE
THRILL" FROM
A|RPLANE TRIP

LOS ANGELES, Cal.-From "the
thrill' to "a marked sense of ex.
hilaration, as though he had par.
taken of good champagne" is the
way Psychologists and neurologists
have classified the sensations re-
ceived by those who take their first
ride in an airplane.
Armed with stethoscopes, sphyg-
momanometers and other instru-
ments, Doctors Mason W. Pressly.
E. G. Goodrich, and Reginald F.
Grant recently conducted a series
of experiments on the effect of air
planning on the human nervous sys-
TEN, and have just made public their
report.
Flying will provide the great
boon sought for the treatment of
all nervous cases such as neuras-
thenia, and even paresis," said Dr..
Grant.
The tests were exhaustive and
were made on several patients at a
local aviation field.
1--WE must consider that the avi-
ator is accustomed 10 flying, while
this is the passengers first flight, y
stated DR.. Grant in opening his re-
port. "He had to go through the
various impressions, sensations, men
tai deductions and anxiety which &C
company a first flight.
His anxieties with regard to
height and speed having been re-
lieved, there supervenes feeling
of exhilaration-'the thrill Later

der as to whether he will experience
water-chute or light sensations.
Again, in this, he is greatly sur
prised As the planes nose is point
ed down and the engine throttled
down, auditory impressions are d.
minished, but there is no sensation
of falling. Near the end of the

glide the earth seems to be coming
Up rapidly to meet the airplane and

creased. As the wheels touch the
ground, the vibrations increase and
then subside."
And then, according to DIR. Grant,
is where the determination comes
in. He says: when the passenger
steps out he is conscious of a
marked sense of exhilaration, as
though he had partaken of good
champagne.
The therapeutic effect of airplan-
ing DR.. Grant summarizes as fol
lows:
"Flying increases the total vol
ume of blood, increases metabolism
the process of converting food
into tissue-increases lung ventila-
ton, increases blood pressure and
arterial tone, increases the expansi-
bility of the heart and increases
'hemoglobin, the vital element of the
blood which absorbs and carries oxy-
gen."
