CHURCHGOERS BATTLE
FIRE IN MARYLAND
Oakley, Quaint Home of Col. and
Mrs. John Marshall Dent, Is
Destroyed

Oakley, one CT southern Maryland's
colonial homes, owned and occupied
by Col. and Mrs. John Marshall Dent,
was destroyed by fire on Sunday last
The fire occurred about II I'm, there
being no one on the premises except
around so years of age. They were
advised that the house was on fire
by Louis Hodges, who was passing.
Hodges drove to All Saints Episco-
pal Church, where services were dis
continued while members of the con-
gregation aided in fighting the fire
and saving household effects.
Oakley was located in st. Marys
County on a tract fronting a public
highway and a tributary of the Po-
tomac River.
1t was considerably more than 100
years old, and had been occupied by
the Mankins, Alsons, B!ackistones and
Dents. The old home was the scene
of many social functions. About two
years ago Col and Mrs. Dent cele-
hrated their fiftieth anniversary. They
have resided in this home practically
all of their married life, and raised
nine children, among them being w

as eXemplified by the Navy can do
much toward cementing those friend
ships that result in peace and bring
about development of commercial
interests, according to Capt Chaun-
cey Shackford, commander of the
cruiser Marblehead, which has just
finished her shake-down cruise.
American sailors were received
well everywhere, and created a most
favorable impression by the manner
in which they conducted themselves
ashore on liberty and toward visitors
to their ship.
Cruise Welcomed i'm England.
During the cruise" said Capt
Shacktord'S report, contact has
been had with a great many Of
ticials and those in high positions,
and IL is interesting to note my i'm
preston of the very high regard and
splendid feeling the European has for
the American. The English were
particularly cordial and did not seem
to be able to do too much for us,
in waters foreign to them.
The French were most cordial, but
there appears to be a feeling of un-
rest in regard to the Communist spirit
and this is most prevalent in south
ern France, where many of the high
office holders have a tendency along
those lines.
In my opinion, cruises made by our
men-o'-war to foreign ports, princi-
pally single vessels, can do much
toward helping the American in busi-
ness abroad and will cause a greater
and better feeling and appreciation
for the American flag and the coun-
try it represents.
Our flag Is seen too little abroad
with the result that some foreigners
know little about us and the Ameri-
can commercial man, therefore, has
much to contend with"

5,OOO FEET LIMIT
HEIGHT FOR FLYING
Air Experts Note Maximum
and Also Give Warning
as to Speed.

Flight surgeons of the Army Air
Service believe that man has about
reached the maximum flying speed at
which he can suddenly change di-
rection, owing to the centrifugal force
exerted on the body and its effect on
the blood. This speed is placed in
the vicinity of $50 miles an hour.
The limit of speed on straightaway
course, they say, can probably be
placed much higher than is now me-
chanically possible, but experience
will have to write the actual figure.
The height limit, they add, is around
$4,000 feet.
Predicated on Experience.
This contention regarding the
maximum speed for turning. the
night surgeons point out, is predicat
ed upon the experience of Lieut.. A.
j. Williams of the Navy, at the Pu-
liter aid races at st. Louis in
October, 1928, who said he became
practically unconscious at the turns
of the triangular course, when he
rounded at 243.67 miles an hour.
The flyer at the turn banks his
craft at right angles the centrifugal
force acting at right angles to the
new direction of travel and the blood
being carried away from the head to-
ward the stomach, and probably even
into the legs, causes faintness and pos
sibly Inconsistencies. Blood circula-
ton quickly adjusts itself. the flight
surgeons say, and the direction of
centrifugal force is rapidly changed,
although at turns at very high speeds
in airplanes, brain injury or rupture
of vital blood vessel might result.
Pressure as Factor.
Even when supplied with oxygen,
the flight surgeons hold, an aviator
could not survive beyond a height of
$4,000 feet, under ordinary circum-
stances, because the available oxygen
pressure in the lungs would be too
low to sustain life.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 feet is
the upper limit of consciousness"
without oxygen, say the flight sur
geons, and at higher attitudes oxygen
is Indispensable. Only il inclosed in
a cabinet or suit in which the baro-
metric pressure We're kept at a de-
gree compatible with life, would it
be possible to ascend beyond the
$4,000 limit, with suitable arrange
ment made for disposing of the sur
plus carbon dioXide.
The aviator experiences among
other things, as the result of high
altitude flights, sleepiness, uncon-
trolled emotion, including giggling,
singing or laughter; muscular weak
ness, shortness of breath, impair
ment of the intellect and judgment,
and impairment of vision and hear
ing. These are chiefly dE~, medical
men explain, TO a lack OF oxygen in
the brain.
Surgeons on Duty.
There are so Army flight surgeons,
stationed al different flying fields, all
on flying status. A flight medical
school is maintained at Mitchell
Field, N Y, where courses are given
selected medical officers picked for
, aviation duty. Aviation psychology
forms a large share of their work
and they are acquainted with first
hand conditions of the men who go
up in the air in ships.
The National Aeronautic Associa-
tion's records show that the present
maximum altitud4 record is held by
French flyer with 1856 feet, and the
speed record in a straightaway course
Is held by another French airman at
27S.4S miles an hour.
