at one hundred pounds, your oil and water
degrees to insure proper functioning and
your gas must be kept at exactly the
right mixture to insure the greatest power
from the motor. Imagine, if you can, trav-
cling but ten feet from the ground at well
over two hundred miles an hour and
trying to coax an extra ten horsepower
from your already overtaxed motor. Each
change you make necessitates another look
into your cockpit to see whether you have
increased or decreased the revolutions of
your propeller with its corresponding
change on the dial of your air speed indica-
tor.
The New York herald., 1922-11-12

When in your automobile you look at the
road from one hundred to two hundred feet
in advance if you are travelling slowly and
twice as far ahead if you double your
speed Travelling at speeds above two
hundred miles an hour you use the horizon
as the means of judging your altitude
and only occasionally do you look at the
ground or trees to check and see that YOU
do not get too close. Keeping the correct
altitude is done more with your subcon-
scious mind than with your active mind
With the latter you are busy keeping
the proper direction and taking note of
the obstacles that are looming in your
path. If you are to pass over a bunch of
trees or a barn you unconsciously climb
to go over them and only in the moment of
passing over do you glance down to check
your clearance. If all the objects YOU
passed over were approximately the same
height it would be easy. but flag poles and
tall dry limbs OF trees have a habit of
showing up at unexpected moments and
are extremely hard to see from distance
1t is for the unexpected things that one
must continually be on the lookout.
Then, too, If you could see directly In
front it would be much easier. but be-
cause you are seated in your cockpit with
a motor and windshield in front of you
you must get your direction by looking
far to the side and as nearly as possible
to the front Only by turning your plane
slightly to the side is it possible to see

Landscape Was a Blur.

To describe all my sensations while
travelling at this speed and at the record
speed 1 later made is impossible, as the
terrific wind that eddied and whipped
around me and the streaking of every
object were such a contrast to ordinary
flying. The landscape? There is no i'm

only be described by calling it a blur.

and I climbed in. l opened the throttle,
took off and stayed up fifteen minutes
but to say that flew the ship during this

some Of the things that happened grasped

was thrown against it many times, in fact
had it not been for the belt 1 would have

Doubts were uppermost could the ma

NJ. P. H., at 500 feet. so if the wind is
against your line of flight or across it,
it pays to get down as close to the earth
as possible so as to encounter the mini
mum wind resistance. The speed of the
plane is the same through the air in either
case but it is readily seen that as the dis
tance to be covered is measured on the
ground the least wind resistance you
have to overcome the faster your time will
be. Then too the closer the airplane is to
the earth the greater the banking effect
