AVIATION
BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.
TAVY flying people of all
ranks are vigorously urging
the reappointment as chief

n YAVY flying people of all
M ranks are vigorously urging
" the reappointment as chief
- of the Bureau of Aero
nauticS of Rear Admiral William
A. Moffett, whose present term VI
duty expires March 10. In this
movement they have the support
of a considerable portion of the
aeronauticS people of the country
who are familiar with the growth
of naval aeronauticS and the
splendid work of Admiral Moffett
in building up his service in the
face Of the most diScouraglng OBJ
StacleS.
r. Admiral Moffett has been chief
8 of the Bureau of AeronautiCS since
It's creation in 1921 and now is COM
pleting his second term. Though
he was not a flying man prior to
taking over the bureau at the time
of it's creation, Admiral Moffett is
known throughout the aeronaut-
ical world today as one of the
most jealous opponents of aero
nauticS in governmental service.
He has sacrificed much to build
+, up the bureau. He has fought a
good fight to bring naval aviation
to its present standing and has
lost much personally in conduct
ing that fight. He has met OPP
position from the old line Navy
people and has struggled against
that opposition. 1t has been a
hard battle and he has lost the
friendship of many of his old Navy
friends because of his unf1inching
determination to do his duty by
the newest branch of the Navy as
he has seen that duty before him.
~ Aides Demand ReappOintment.
/, Moffett himself is not seeking
reappointment willingly. Person
ally he probably would prefer to
wind up his long and honorable
naval career at sea. Admiral Moi
felt will be retired automatically
from the Navy in 1888. He has
been offered for reappointment
only at the inSiStent demand of
his subordinateS in the Bureau of
AeronauticS.
Naval aviation today is in a
critical period of it's development.
The five-year aircraft building
program is in full swing. The
construction of the Nays two
huge $500, 000-cubic- foot dirigibles
has just begun, as the result of a
long campaign conducted by Ad-
miral Moffett, who has worked
harder than any other ranking
Navy officer to create a dirigible
service. With this period of ex-
panSion Of both branches of Navy
aviation in progress, the present
program should be completed
under the competent guidance of
the man who has done so much
for the Navy flying service, and
who, better than any other, is
equipped to carry out the pro-
gram he has instigated, observers
believe.
Other Navy bureaus have built
up traditions and habits of routine
which make changes of admin
iStration of less moment than in
the newly created Bureau of Aero
nautics. This bureau, only eight
years old, has no precedents upon
which to base its activities. Its
deStinieS have been largely in the
hands of one man.
Aside from the fact that the
five-year building program now

tons, and the position radioed back 70
the plane. Another method Is to have
direction finder on the plane itself,
which will locate whatever ground sta
ton Is tuned In on.
The Probable Solution.
BY use of any one Of these sytenns
in conjunction with standard instru-
ments of navigation the mail pilot can
cover his route and arrive over his
field Of destination without seeing
ground or sky during the trip. We now
encounter the as yet unSolved prob
approximate altitude Of the ship may
be obtained from its present aneroid
type of altimeter, but this instrument
does not show changes In ground ele-
walton and Is affected by variation In
barometric pressure. Even IL We know
the exact elevation OF the airport above
sea level and although the barometric
pressure may have been radioed to us,
the altimeter itself has lag which
makes the last hundred feet a matter
of uncertainty.
What is being done to make such
a landing feasible? Probably the ulti-
mate solution will be a combination of
radio indications and visual contact
WIN the ground just before landing.
An effort is being made to direct q
radio beam at an angle which may be
followed In glide to the airport. Land
ing gears can be devised to Withstand
much harder shock of landing than
those now in use. Possibly the perfec-
ton Of radio altimeter in combination
with stations at regular intervals ap-
preaching the field will be more salts
factory. Higher intensity neon lights
are being developed. Experimentation
with methods Of diSpelling fog Is going
on. Automatic. stabilizing devices will
play large part in future transport
flying and. as In other types of trans
portation, the control will depend less
and less on the pilot and become largely
automatic.
At the present time it appears most
likely that radio instruments will bring
the pilot to his destination and down
to a few feet above the surface Of the
airport. where he will make ground con-
tact through series of neon lights. 1t
is entirely possible that some method
of dispelling fog may make the actual
landing, after the ground contact has
been made. no more difficult than In
ordinary weather.

YOUR HEALTH

BY DR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN (Editor Journal of the American
 Medical Association and Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine)
 The fruit growers have aided the physicians in recent years in edu- eating the public as to the value of fresh fruits, cooked fruits and pre- pared fruits in the diet.
 The fruits go q long way to sup plement bread meat, cereals and even vegetables. They provide bulk and aid movements of the in tcstines, they yield vitamins and valuable salts and they have con- siderable caloric value.
 An apple yields 100 calories some iron and some vitamins A. B and c. It is quite rich in carbohydrate but relatively poor, about one-fourth as good as the poorer vegetables, in protein. A large banana also gives about 100 calories and some iron and vitamins and it contains about twice as much protein relatively as the apple, but about the same amount of carbohydrate.
 It takes a whole cantaloupe to give 100 calories and cantaloupe | appears on most reducing diets for that reason. It is filling without | high caloric value. Dates and figs have laxative qualities, they are rich in protein and in carbohydrate. | Three dates or one and onehalf figs will give 100 calories. Pears and peaches are about like apples, but they usually have calcium and phosphorus that the | apple does not so often provide. The orange has calcium and iron and plenty of vitamins A, B and c, and one orange gives 100 calories. It takes three or four plums or prunes to give 100 calories. They are helpful for their laxative quail ity. They have calcium and iron and the prune is known to provide l vitamins B and c. A cup of rasp- | berries or strawberries will provide 100 calories. It will have calcium. phosphorus and iron. and will be helpful for vitamins B and c.
 All of the fruit juices help the reaction of the body toward an alkaline point which is valuable. for health.
 The watermelon is rightly named. X two-inch slice of watermelon weighs 800 grams or about one and three quarters pounds. Of this there will be two grams proteins, | I. drate. The caloric value of the whole thing will be 100 calorics. There will be some iron and some vitamin A, B and c. The rest is ! water.

The year after the Armistice was signed. thls young Frenchwoman was sent by the Y. w. and the Rred Gross to this "ountry on a transport vessel rhaperon to 210 French war brides, heir American husbands, and their Franco American babies. Having cen her charges through the GUS toms, Mile. France enrolled in Barn. ard for a degree, instead of return Ing home Receiving it, she began teaching, first in schools, then privately.
 Last year, this ingenious woman launched a brand new plan. She sold" certain progressive depart mcnt stores on the value a working knowledge of French would be to their buyers, stylists and executives. since many of them have branches in Paris and do much foreign busl- ness. Now she has classes of from 25 10 50 pupils in several of New Yorks largest stores. In addition, she teaches clubwomen. stenographers. business girls, artists. authors, stu dent and one manicurist Her own clients furnish her that 'Cross-sec- ton of America" of which she speaks.
 "Think fin French"
 "One should learn grammar only as he needs it." she described her method. "Theorctical constructions only mix pupils. One should not try to learn by translation. H should make his own sentences practice his own sentences and speak them di- rectly into French. That is the way 10 think in French.
 Simultaneously, one should get three pictures of a word-the writ ten word, which is a visual picture of the subject under discussion, the sound word, which is an oral pie ture, and the expression of the word, which is a vocal picture. This way, one can read and speak and under stand the French that will greet him the minute he arrives at the North Station in Paris. He will feel at home on the Boulevards and still be able to enjoy Anatole France and other French men of letters"
