Carbon Deposits.

While carbon deposits in the COM
bustion chambers contain residuum
from burned gasoline and oil, there
is also a considerable percentage OF
road dust. which is almost ideally
adapted to act with the other ingrc-
dients in producing the carbon. II
is possible to reduce the amount of
this dust entering the cylinders by
placing a screen in the air intake
and cleaning il frequently. OF course
this does not entirely exclude the
foreign matter in the air, but it
helps, which is worth while

The Work Bench.

For tho man who wants a nova
bic work bench, an excellent idea is
to fix rolls or casters to the legs
on one end. a pair of handles at the
other. In this way the bench may
be trundIed about like n wheelbar-
row and yet when 1t rests on all
fours it is perfectly firm aud gives
a solid base f'r work. It is a good
plan TO place the wise and tool drawer
on the end of the bench without
wheels and also to put a ledge around
TIE edges to keep tools from falling
o.. when the bench is being moved.

Valve Leaks.

In overhead valve engines. where
the valves are carried in removals.
cages. gaskets are used TO give a
tight joint when the cage is screwed
in place. This packing very frequent
ly becomes soft and the result is a
leak around the valve. which may be
difficult to locate unless on is aware
of this likelihood. Similarly in null
ticylinder engines the gaskets used
at the point where the intake mani
fold joins the different cylinders
should be carefully examined when
ever the manifold is taken off, as
leaks are likely to develop here

Water Leaks.

In engines that are provided with a
plate on the side to facilitate work on
the interior it is not uncommon to find
that water is escaping here in spite
of the rubber and fabric composition
with which it is sealed. As a general
thing the condition may be remedied
by simply painting the plate with
shellac or red lead and then screw
ing it tightly into place.

Operated 81 Days.

The truck was in operation ninety
two successive days and nights and
in exact figures transported 11.S28 tons
of material-Coal, ashes, sand and
brick. The average was 12S tons per
day, equal to three freight cars of
forty tons capacity. Operated on this
basis for a year this would amount
to 100000 pounds of material.
Quite as remarkable was the dis
tance covered by this truck. 1851 miles
to be exact. equivalent to nearly three
trips across the American continent. a
journey from New York to San Fran
cisco every month. ana loaded to ca
pacity. At this rate the mileage for
one year would reach one and a quar-
ter times around the globe.
During the three months the truck
was out of service for repair only
% hours and most of that time the
owners state, because of an accident
which was the fault of neither the
truck nor the driver.

PLANE SQUADRON
TO GO TO MACON
FOR CONVENTION

SOUTHER FIELD, March 29- Lieut..
Col. F. T. Dickman will undoubtedly
send large squadron of Souther Field
flying officers in formation to Macon
May 3, the day of the aeronauticaI con-
vention in that city. Possibly Colonel
Dickman or the executive officer, Major
John W. Butts, will lead the forma-
ton.
The Importance of this convention
has not yet fully dawned upon the
citizens of Georgia nor its far reach
ing effect upon all classes throughout
the United States. History records
many national movements as original
ing in Georgia, and the pace now set
for the advance of aviation will cause
other states to sit up and take notice
If they wish to be a good second in
establishing complete aeronauticaI ia
cilities, especially landing places.
Lieut.. Col. Dickman, the commanding
officer here, is reported to have said
that Immediately suitable landing
places and hangers were established
he would loan half dozen ships for
the use of the j. M A. and R. M. A.
hiers living in the localities of the
fields and in the meantime they may
visit Souther and have the use of
ships here for practice flights. There
are at Souther some $50 ships of three
makes in commission and ready for
use at all times. At present these
ships are used by the Souther Field
staff, but no flier in Georgia need be
denied the facilities of flying, if he has
the ]. M. A. or R. M. A. qualifica-
lions.
The government stands ready to do
its part, the press of Georgia has
placed the matter squarely before the
people and it is now for them to pro-
vide places that will make Georgia the
first complete aerial state in the un-
ion, thereby drawing the air service in
to the state
The Victory loan fliers will be oblig-
ed to use small ships away from Sou
Their Field on account of landing ia
cilities.
The convention will do much good
and should be followed by others held
in the principal cities of the state.

University of California student, tend
ing to mechanical ideas with liking
for radio work, and expert with the
rifle wherein is the element of accura-
cy in judging distances and eleva-
lions, qualifications absolutely neces-
sary for the successful aviator to
j possess. Lieutenant Lackey's early
military training was in the Universe
ty and this instruction has proven
valuable to him at Souther. He has
just been transferred to Atlanta.
Lieutenant John K MacRae, recent
| ly honored by being assigned for duty
as Commanding officer of the Flying
School Detachment, the mechanical
force of the school, another college
man, choosing the Washington State
College in his native state as his in
stitution of learning, followed engi-
neering for three and one-half years.
Other essentials to aviation came I'M
der his observation and he entered
the service early in 1918, passing the
severe examinations of the University
of California at Berkeley.
Lieutenant Alex B. McMullen is a
/ native of Illinois, his college training
was at the Valparaiso University of
Indiana. After receiving a degree as
an accountant, he took up architecture
and, strange as it may appear, archi-
tects maks excellent aviators. The
Lieutenant's aeronautical training was
at the University of California, and
at Rockwell and Brooks Fields, and
military training with the Sd Battery,
18th Provisional training regiment.
Lieutenant Samuel c. Stout, who

plane from the press in Atlanta to
subscribers in Americas, carries well
the title given him by others in the
formation, THE Aerial ewsboy," and
with satisfaction points to many prom
inent men who started their carers as
,newsboys, but the University of ILL
noise, located in his native state,
turned him out a finished product,
after four years intense study on
scientific technical mechanical lines,
mechanical and architectural DRAFTING,
with touch of chemistry and ply
chology fitting him to be an educa-
tional director and instructor for over
five years. This with machine gun
merry, practically covers every posi-
BILE line of experience necessary to
master completely the Air" under
most any known condition. 1t would
not surprise Lieutenant Stouts friends
in later years to find him directing the
movements of great aeronautical
fleets.
Lieutenant Walter F. Suffer has
passed through several departments
to that of Post Adjutant at Souther

in an army post. AS native of New
Jersey, he studied chemistry in col

Want to Know Who's Who
at Souther? This Introduces
The Flying Officers to You

inheriting all the characteristics of a
commanding officer to which he has
added and perfected himself in the
art of conservative flying, and, in ad-
dition to giving specific instructions
direct to his flying staff, practically
demonstrates how the planes of all
types should be handled.
While awaiting the transcribing of
his dictation in his office he often
takes a couple of hundred miles
flight, inspecting the land and cities
of Georgia and other states in the
Southeastern Zone, noting down any
thing of interest attracting his atten-
ton that will be beneficial to the Air
Service. He often also, leads his
formation is extended cross-country
flights.
Major John w. Butts, Executive
Officer, is native Texan, fraduate
of West Point and served his country
in most important manner during
the Mexican difficulties in carrying
airplane messages from the Border
to General Pershing, Commanding the
American forces in Mexico. Major
Butts not only looks after the welfare
of the men by following up closely
their military and athletic training,
but infinitely watches every detail in
the preparation and maintenance of
the planes for service, and often be-
tween busy hours of administration,
takes off in DeHaviland, a Curtiss
with the Hispano-Suiza motor, or the
regular training Curtiss plane. These
administrative flying officers set the
pace, establish the rules for flying,
and personally show the officers I'M
der them how they shall be carried
into effect.
The corps of Flying Officers and in
structors at Souther Field who are
doing so much to advance aviation may
proudly be mentioned here in alpha
betical order, that the people in the
Zone of the Southeastern States may
get acquainted with these men of the
air. The average age of these eleven
flyers is only twenty-three. Lieuten-
ant Perry w. Blackler was born n the
State of Washington and after an en-
cheering course in the University of
Washington, followed the occupations
Of accountant, did civil engineering,
drafting, charting. Perfecting him
self in mechanical and radio work, he
entered the service in May, 1917, en-
titling him soon to wear three silver
chevrons. His schooling and pursuits
in vicilian life formed the basis of an
excellent aviator
Lieutenant Edward A. Hillary has
passed schools of manual training and
technicals of learning, has had mill
tary experience at Princeton, N. j.,
and is a native of Tennessee. He
came to Souther Field in November,
1918, but of late on account of illness,
has not been able to engage actively in
filing. He has just been transferred
to Ellington Field, Houston, Tex.

SOUTHER FIELD, March 28,-The
men who are putting the State Of
Georgia on the map economically
and attracting the attention of the
world by their practical demonstra-
tions of the usefulness of the airplane
are the Flying Officers of Souther
Field"
"In all my experience with men,
said an officer who has devoted a life
time to the study of human nature,
Il have never came in contact with a
more genial, gentlemanly class of Off
GERS than the Flying officers OF
Souther Field" Modest, sincere, and
deeply interested in their work OF
bringing forward and carrying on to
perfection the complete conquest OF
the air on all lines, not only from a
military standpoint, which is the ba-
sis of all operations, but to demon
strate the advantages of the plane for
the transportation of passengers, mail
and merchandise"
What is a Flying Oficer?" Not
alone one who goes to the upper
ether and performs the feats neces-
sary to make him a war flyer or dives
his airship across country to uncer-
tain places of landing with the posi-
bility of forced landings in fields OF
forests, but man who must give in
struction to the novice that he, too
may become proficient in handling the
great bird of prey and commerce. To
do this, the Flying Officer" must know
every part of his plane, must be an
electrician and engineer, familiar with
astronomy, meteorology, mathematics
chemistry, and almost everything en-
tering into a college course. In adj
dition to all this, he must be an &C
curate judge of distance and height
and last of all must know his pupil
and all his characteristics, for upon
this judgment from the start depends
the advisability of continuing the in
struction, if in the end the pupil would
never make a flyer"
1.-THE necessity of correct judgment
of height and distance man be illus
trated in a sentence" said one of the
flyers. Eve passed over hangar in
the DeHaviland just before landing al
a speed of 80 miles per hour and ten
seconds later, as gentle as stepping
from an automobile, we touch the
ground at a speed of sixty miles pei
hour"
