REDFERN IS GIVEN
D|ET|C|AN'S CARE
Brunswick Brazil Pilot to
Garry Medicine in Case
He Lands in Jungle.

by the Associated Press.
BRUNSWICK, Ga, August 10
Fuel for the pilot may often be as
important as fuel for the plane, thinks
Paul Redfern, Georgia aviator, who is
waiting favorable winds and weather
for his take-off on a projected nom.
stop flight to Brazil.
Redfern is dieting to store up
strength for the endurance test, his
meals being supervised by a graduate
dietician and home economics expert,
Mrs. G. M. Ward.
Appetite Is Tempted.
"On account of the nervous strain
which he is expected to be under, il
Is but natural that he would have but
little appetite" Mrs. Ward said. II
am therefore endeavoring to include
among his assortment of food such
dishes as will stimulate his appetite.
1 have recommended that he rise early
every morning."
Meanwhile the youthful aviator dis
cussed his safety devices, which he is
certain will prove efficient if he should
be forced down at sea or on land. He
will take parachute and has ar
ranged his emergency kits so they can
quickly be snapped onto his person
in case he is forced to jump.
If he should be forced to land in
the Amazon jungles, Redfern believes
he can exist for an indefinite period.
He is carrying a good supply of
quinine with which to fight jungle
fever and has a vial of potassium
permanganate for snake bites.
Activities around Redfern's head
quarters here today indicated that the
flyer Is planning to start very soon.
Messages were sent to the Pioneer
Instrument Co. of New York asking
that a factory expert be sent to make
a final check of the planes instru-
ments. Another message Of similar
text was sent to the manufacturers
of the Wright whirlwind motor, with
which the plane is powered.

pant on either side to cheer with wild
enthusiasm when the game ended
with a score of 0 to O. Accidentally
he had won both bets.
After leaving the University of
Michigan he worked for seven years
on a newspaper in Detroit, and was
an editor at the time that he resigned
in 1907 to devote himself exclusively
to his literary work. He had had
number of stories accepted by maya
zines in the meantime. Subsequently
he served as a member of the Michi-
gan State Cavalry, and spent an
average of several months per year in
the Canadian north woods, travelling
as far north as the Arctic coast. He
was for many years an active worker
for national wild life and forest con-
servation, which brought him into
vigorous conservation campaigns in
his home State and elsewhere.
