we know that the airman needs q good
physique, a level head, steady nerves,
good vision and good equilibrium. He
also needs good hearing, although
many flyers get along with less than
normal hearing. and the roar of the
engine, soon dulls this sense. Cardio-
vascular stability is essential to with
stand sudden changes in atmospheric
pressure incident to rapid gain and
loss of altitude and the rapid changes
in position required by serial aero
battles. The respiratory mechanism
should be normal to resist the insidi-
GUS effects of anoxemia and the upper
respiratory passages must be clair of
inclammatory and obstructive condli-
tions.
We speak of the flying tempera-
ment" or the flying personality"
inherent flying ability" and ''aero-
nautical aptitude" meaning an unde-
find temperamental or psychic fit
ness, possessed by many yet not by all
who attempt to fly. We do not know
just what this intangible factor is,
but we surmise that 1t is compounded
of intelligence, good judgment, cool
ness, stability with quick reaction
time perhaps, and natural neuro-
muscular coordination, present in
skillful and absent in awkward indi-
viduals.

FLYING WITH GEN. PATRICK
By MAJ. GEN. NJ. NJ. PATRICK.
Chief Of the Army Air Corps.


Unlike the birds, man was not NsM.
ioned primarily for fight. This great
and sudden transition from earth to
air, from slow locomotion to swift
and sustained flight, therefore, has
called forth much Of his reserve of
adaptability and has subjected his
physical makeup to unwonted strain.
The albatross can soar for days at
time on tireless wings. The visual
acquity of the eagle, it is said, Is tele.
scopic to the exent that, IL such a
bird could read. fine print would be
legible to him at d mile away. How
ever this may be. it is generally con-
ceded that man, even at his best, has
no such vision and no power of visual
accommodation as that which enable
bird to pursue its flight at the rate
of mile a minute through thick
branches of trees, rarely II ever
striking an obstacle.
BY nature man Is limited to some
| 10000 feet of altitude, and If he would
survive the effects Of anoxemia be-
yond that altitude, he must have oxy-
gen artifically. Temperature falls
with increasing altitude; necessitating
artificial means of heat preservation
in the form of special clothing.

Travelling at high rates of speed

Her suit Is based on testimony

that Johnson had testified she used
narcotics and had lived for six months
in 1921 at a Westchester County es-

there. They occupied separate rooms.

The prescriptions. admitted over
