boys at the City park diamond in
what promises to be one of the best
baseball games of the season.
Although Phoenix has had every
advantage over Flagstaff for the de-
velopment of team, it is confidently
believed that the Flagstaff boys will
be in the best form Of the season for
the meet as they have been under
going rather stiff workouts the past
week and have made a much better
showing in their practice periods since
their games with Tempe last week.
Possibilities are that two games will
be arranged, one for today and one
for tomorrow, but as yet definite
agreements have not been reached be-
tween the two colleges.

balance of the muscles so that the lar vision; all movements must be perfectly co-ordinated.
 Guarding the Vision
 Dust, oil. sand and glare will pro- duce congestion of the eyelids and of the eye itself which will impair vision and ruin judgment as 10 land ing. Therefore. goggles with ade- quate side screens and lenses of plain non-breakable glass should al- ways be worn.
 The goggles recommended must have a wide visual field and they are mounted on face pad Of rub Der or wool. The eyes are examined repeatedly, since it iS known that vision may be impaired following a severe cold or the prolonged use of the eyes in close technical problems.
 The care of the ears is important as well. Aviators know the necessity on each sde of the ear drum. Changes in altitude vary the pres sure greatly.
 In rapid desCents the aviator swallows frequently in order 10 equalize air pressure on each side of the ear drum. Sometimes it is necessary to hold the nose and blow in order to expand the ear drum when congestion may be present.
 Greatly unequal drula pressure will produce sudden severe pain
New Britain herald., 1927-11-02

and may cause a perforation of tho ear drum. For this reason, exanin- CTS for the aviation corps are likely to disqualify pilots who have ear drums with scars or with severe in- flammations.
 Plugging the Ears
 It is also known that blocking Of the custodian tubes which pass from the throat to the ear may re- suit in dizziness or lack of co-ordina- ton. so that the examiner makes sure that both tubes are open before he accepts the candidate.
 The roar of the motor reduces the hearing ability and it is frequently customary to keep a plug of cotton in the external ear to protect the hearing sense when flying.
 One of the conditions that the medical corps guards against is staleness. The strain of flying produces a progressive lowering Of efficiency with il. depression Of mental and physical activity. Various forms Of staleness have been described as related 10 the muscles. the nerves. or the breath ing apparatus, and also that re- lated 10 disorders of dic"sti on. Since stalencsS is a potent factor in crashes, the hygi"nists recommend a complete rest or change of environ ment from q few days to month whenever signs Of StalcncSs appear in the flyer.

 "A minor point" said Vance in differently. Did Bcnson's speech strike you as peculiar when he came downstairs-that is, was there 6 thickness, or slight impeachment of any kind, in his voice."
 Leacock was manifes;ly puzzled.

little. There's no doubt he had something to do with the crime, else why should he have concealed his pistol the next day in Miss St. Clair's apartment He's just the kind of silly beggar, q ye see. who would threaten any man he thought had designs on his fiancee. and then carry out the threat if anything happened.
 And he has guilty conscience that's obvious. But for what? Certainly not the shooting. The crime was planned; and the Cap tain never plans. Hes the kind that gets g. fixed idea, girds up his loins, and does the deed in knightly fashion, prepared to take the con- s'quences. That sort Of chivalry. y know. is sheer beau geste: its their valor. And when they go forth 10 rid the world of Don Juan. they're always clear-minded.
 "The Captain. for instance, couldn't have overlooked his Lady Fairs gloves and hand bag, - he would have taken '"m away. In fact. it's just as certain he would have shot Benson as it is he didn't shoot him. That's the beetle in the amber. It's psychologically pos sible he would have done it, and psychologically impossible he would have done it the way it was done"

Poor. timid little Mrs. Peter. Her meeting with her father, Old Jed Thumper wasn't at all pleasant. This was bad enough, but what was worse was the fact that she failed 10 find out where Peter was. Old .'o' Thumper simply worked him o q rage. That's what he did,
 | himself into a rage. Final !. le Mrs. Peter left him. She just wouldn't listen 10 him any longer.
 She went on up one of the old cowpaths. Presently she heard, up ahead of her, some strange noises. They frightened her, yet at the same time they aroused her curi- osity. Little by little she stole near CT. Presently. from behind q big blueberry bush she peeped out and saw two strange creatures fighting. Anyway, she thought they were fighting. They were black and they were ever so much bigger than she. But what surprised her and startled her most was the fact that every once in a while they stood up just like those two-legged creatures call cd men. They stood up and struck at each other. Then they threw their arms around each other and down they went and rolled over and over. kicking and squcaling. You sec, she thought they were really fighting.

 Suddenly, one of those cubs just happened to spy little Mrs. Peter. In an instant, he was after her. She jumped and ran. The other cub saw her and both started for her. Poor little Mrs. Peter, She was so fright ened that she almost forgot how 10 run. At first she did forget how to dodge. She never had seen little bears before and these two mis- chievous scamps seemed 10 her the most terrible creatures that ever lived. She saw hole between the roots of an old dead stump and she darted into it.
 Now I'll he safe" she pantcd. they cant get in here. They'll probably go away noW.'
 But she didn't know bear cubs Here was great sport. One of them began 10 dig. The other began 10 pull on the old stump. Poor little Mrs. Peter heard the old stump crack and groan and she was more frightened than ever. She Cr"pt just as far down as she could. She was looking for a back door, but there was no back door. Whoever had dug that hole under the old stump long ago had failed 10 make a back door. Little Mrs. Peter was trapped.

There was a grinding and a tearing overhead and presently, with a crash, the old stump went ovnr. You sec it was a very rotten old stump and the two little bears. working together, had managed to pull it over. Then each in turn sniffed at the hole left by the old stump And each in turn emcllrd Mrs. Peter. Then what do you think those silly cubs did?

 Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and Of Hygcia. the Health Magazine.

Physicians who have charge of the health of army and navy aviators have found numerous special prob- lens associated with this occupation and they are beginning to develop a special hygiene as a sort of stand ard.
 Flying efficiency depends not only on the physical condition of the aviator at the time of his first ex- animation, but also on the mainte- nance of this efficiency throughout the aviator's flying life.
 The eyes are the most important factor from the physical requirement point of view as is pointed out by Commander R. G. Davis of the medi- cal corps of the United States navy. Sharpness of vision alone Is not suf- ficient. but there must be perfect
