HUMAN FACTORS IN FLYING
Things That May Appear Small in
Themselves Have Been Found to
Be Of Importance.

Few people realize that small part
Of the inner ear has much to do with
seasickness, and that this same por-
tion of the ear affects the ability of
man to handle an airplane or air.
ship.
Since the close of the war the ma
tional research council has had sew
eral projects centering on the study
ing of human factors In flying. in
volving "behavioristic" experiments on
man and animals, anatomical, ply
siological and psychological studies of
the functions of the ear and assOci-
ated eye movements; the writing of a
history and the collection of COM
plete photography on the subject. Last
year the workers in this field came to-
gether and organized themselves into
a committee on vestibular research for
the purpose of encouraging and CO.
Ordinating work In this field. This
committee has formulated a project
on "The Experimental Study of Habit
uation to Rotation" which has been
approved by the National Research
council. This project forms natural
nucleus around which may be gath
cred data from field experience, elm
lcal records Of flyers, etc.
The project will be administered by
an executive committee, at the pres
ent time composed Of Dr. J. Gordon
Wilson, chairman; DIR. Raymond
Dodge and DR.. F. H. Pike, in co-opera

Of biology and agriculture, medical

panies in which they purchase Sc

poration earnings shows that the
labor policy is the great determin-
ing factor between profit and loss
during normal times. This especi-
ally applies to various concerns in
the same line of industry. They all
pay approximately the same price
for raw materials; they all have
practically the same hours of work,
but one company succeeds and the
other fails. Statistics show that
the difference is very largely due to
their labor and financial policies.
Therefore, conservative investors
will seek securities of companies
which have a broad-minded~ labor
policy, and which companies are

to whatever the Idahoans turn their
hand they accomplish.
This effort is not a spectacular
one. 1t is one that will require
years of effort. There must be
a great work done before the fruits
are so evident that the unthinking
will recognize them. Yet it is only
such Efforts that win permanently.
The dairy cow is the only machine
that will turn alfalfa and corn sill
age into permanently profitable
product. The margin is not great
at times, it is true, but 1t is always
profitable. Dairy products alone
of those produced on the farm have
record of not falling below the
normal price of production. Why
then should not the people of the
Snake River valley, the ranchers and
the business men unite in the effort
to stabilize their business, insure
their permanent prosperity through
the establishment, on a large scale,
of the dairy industry?

ELECTION CONTEST DROPPED

AS expected for the past two
weeks, the Hall election contest fell
flat this week when w. S. U'Ren
of counsel for Mr.. Hall announced
their abandonment of the fight.
In reality, the fight was lost
when Judges Bingham and Kelley
ruled that it is permissible for vot-
ers to change their registration on
election day and seek any ticket
they desire. This lost the contest
for Mr.. Hall for it removed the only
ground upon which he could de-
clare illegal enough votes to re-
verse the count.
Under this ruling, however, what
has become of the primary system?
Is there any primary for the nomin-
alton of candidates when avowed
members of one party can invade
with impunity the deliberations of
the opposite party? Does not the
registering of the vote on primary
day become in reality the election
day of the state?
If this ruling is to be the law the
State of Oregon is holding two cleo
tions when only one is needed, and
all party responsibility is ended. If
this practice is general over the
country, and apparently it is, the
people will soon declare their aban-
donment of such system which is
fundamentally dishonest.
The facts brought out in the Hall
contest parallel the statements made
by Missouri democrats who declare
that Jim Reed was renominated in
their state by republicans who in
vaded the democratic primary. If
did that in Missouri they
are censurable; so too, are demo-
Gratis who did SO in Oregon, no mat
ter what impelled them so to do.
While Oregonians generally will ap-
prove of the abandonment of the
Hall case it certainly brings no
pleasure to the advocates of the di-
rect primary.

Twenty Movie stars In Holy Land
to stage Big Spectacle

Jerusalem. March 22.--Twenty stars
Of the American Aim world arrived in
Jerusalem recently TO prepare for the
filming Of the Old Testament story of
King David.
The big scene in the play Is to be
the fight between David and Goliath,
which will be staged a few miles north
of this city. Biblical accuracy is not
to be strictly adhered to. since the
scenario provides love scene after the
battle.
About 5000 persons are to be en-
ployed in the filming OF the play. Five
thousand sheep, 1000 cnmels and 1000
goats are also to be used.
This will be the first time. produc.
tion Of this magnitude has been filmed

It was vivid chapter in all our
