The theory of internal combus-
ton motors including actual shop
work on approved motors.
Rigging, upkeep and minor. re-

Photography.
One part of the f1ier's day is used
for these studies, while the remain
der is taken up with actual flying.
The only bit of the afore- mentioned
training that is not essential to the
commercial f1ier is machine gun in
struction.
When entering the air corps every
flying aspirant is forced to stand an
exceedingly rigid physical examina-
ton. Every part of the body must
be sound and special attention is
given to the eyes and ears, for the
sense of balance is in the ear, and
with impaired eyesight q man
should make no attempt to fly.
The mental examination for the
aspiring army pilot is about the
same as an entrance test at a prep
school. He is examined in govern
ment, mathematics, physics, English
and geography. The examination
usually includes a few things to
bring out the mans ability to keep
cool and unruffled under embarrass-
ing or exciting conditions.

AIR CIRCUS TO
|. DEDICATE new
CAPITOL FIELD
rs Army Planes Expected
for Dedication of Port
Aug. 81.

Tentative program for the formal
opening of the new Capitol Anyways,
Inc, airport, Thirtieth ST., west of
Lafayette Pike, Aug. 81, was an
nounced today by Elmer H. Jose,
president.
The opening will be featured with
an air circus iii honor of the ma
tional convention of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars here next week.
The dedication ceremony will be
started at 2:30 p. m. with an address
by a representative of the United
States Department Of Commerce.
The air circus is scheduled from
to 8 p. m. 1t will include formation
flying, stunt flying and two para
chute drops. Bobby Young, Indian
apolis, will give performance of
wing walking and stunts from q lad
der suspended from "a plane.
About twenty-five army planes
are expected from Selfridge field,
Detroit; Chanute field, Rantoul, Ill;
Bowman field, Louisville, Columbus,
Ohio, and Stout field, Indianapolis.
In addition, number of Indiana
commercial f1iers have indicated
they will attend.
Lieut.. Walter r. Peck, Schoen
field, FIT. Benjamin Harrison, will
have charge of field activities. Ma
tional Guard filters under Captain
H. Weir Cook are expected to add to
the thrills.
In connection with the opening,
Jose has announced contest, open
to the general public, to obtain a
name for the new airport.
The public may send in suggested
names for the airport until 10 a. M,

The demands upon the mental
and physical abilities of the avia-
tor are such that he should have
immediate coordination of thought
and muscle.
His eyes should be in excellent
condition; he should be able to
stand great strain, keep cool in
emergencies and not lose his head
regardless Of what may happen; he
should be ready to take chance
when necessary.
Checks Plane at Start
The man at the controls must
have a complete knowledge of the
planes actions under any condi-
ton and instruments in the cock
pit. If these devices fail the pilot
must determine the trouble by a
sense of feel" knowledge Of his
craft means everything
A good f1ier never will take off
without checking his plane and
testing the controls. Acquainting
ones self with a certain plane re-
quires much time.
A pilot should be able to read
map and locate his position by
the corresponding area on the
ground. If he cannot do this he
had best not attempt cross-coun-
try flights of any length.
e,4,. ~ 90 NIL
The commercial f1ier must have
knowledge of the anyways and
traffic rules of the Department of
Commerce. These are covered by
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-08-24

Federal laws and the pilot is sub
ject to forfeiture Of his certificate
if they are violated
The laws having to do with sig
nails of the air and State laws
must be known to cross-country
aviators.
Aerial training is generally
looked upon as merely learning to
pilot an airplane, an operation
that requires only about ten hours
of actual study, but the time re-
quired to train the army or navy
pilot is approximately 316 flying
hours for primary training and
125 hours on the advanced side.
This is aside from time taken up
in the study Of aeronautics.
Army Course Lengthy
The army allotS six months each
to the primary and advanced courses
while some so-called flying schools
guarantee" to turn out an expert
pilot" in two months. Something
of a difference there.
The training of the military
pilot includes:
The theory of flight, fundamental
principles of aerodynamics and OPP
Grafton Of planes.
Elementary electricity, radio cir
cults, general radio equipment used
by the air corps.
Meteorology, including study Of
winds, weather and weather fore
cast.
Aerial navigation, including navi-
cation instruments, aerial maps,

What q flier must know and what
he should know are different things.
He should know how to design
and build plane; design and build
an engine; astronomy; meteorolgy;
mathematics; aerodynamics; aero
states; navigation and geography to
an extent that he will know the
exact location of every town with
in his cruising radius.
There are certain requirements
essential in flier. Some do not
possess these, hence they are not
being given pilots certificates by
the United States Department of
Commerce. 1t is these pilots who
are having the fatal crashes.
Must Have Good Eyes
Il do not mean to say that ac-
created pilots never get into
trouble; they do. But those who

1t il generally admitted that
Hopkins played its worse game Of
the season against the Johnnies
without detracting one iota from
the great playing Of the AilnapO-
Htans.
While that afternoon It IA
very doubtful III the Jays could

the fact that Bobby Lyons WAS
injured certainly took away
much of the Hopkins fire.
With Lyons In shape the Jays

Whether the Hopkins line can
hold the sturdy attacks OF Snitz
