SURGEONS
GIVEN TESTS IN AIR
School Intensifying Its Train
ing of Doctors for Ex-
pert Service.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex (P).--The only
school Of aviation medicine In the
United States Is intensifying rs train.
ing of doctors whose Job is to restrict
Army aviators to men who are in extra
perfect physical condition.
Tests conducted by graduates of this
unique school at Brooks Field indicate
that young men from 20 to % years
of age are the best prospects for air
service. This class, 1t has been found,
is most apt to possess that set OF
SC rigidly demanded OF Army hierS.
Undergo Exacting Test.
And these flight surgeons themselves
must undergo an almost equally exact
ing training to qualify as examining
specialists. Added requisites for the
Army pilot in turn have stepped up"
this process of training his examiners.
A reaction time machine and a
complex co-ordinator" are two ex-
amples of complicated apparatus that
the aviation medic must use. The for
Tier was invented by Capt. F. H. Thorne
to test emotional response. The latter
is used to record in hundredths OF a
second the visual and auditory stimuli
of prospective airrnen.
The training of these doctors, who
are selected from the regular Army,
National Guard and Reserves, does not
end with their work as examiners. They
also must know the best means OF
assisting military aviators in their adj
justment to changed environment.
Corps of Experts ON Duty.
A corps of experts headed by Mai.
Francis H Poole, the schools COM
handing ofiicer, teaches them how to
select men whose physical powers Will
withstand the most drastic demands OF
aviation.
They must master intricacies of

examinations, which are super-imposed
on the candidates phyical test proper.
Less than rs such doctors are grad
uated annually from the school OF avia-
ton medicine prior to their appoint
ment to various air fields.

BALLOONIST FAVORS
DIRIGIBLE OVER PLANE

ny IGS AooOSAdbGO EACSo'
Capt Ernest De Muyter, famous Bel
gian balloonist. believes the airplane
cannot approach the dirigible for prac-
teal transoceanic service.
Transoceanic airplane fights, he said
still presuppose that every man is a
hero. Dirigibles, which can n1aneuver
out of storms and remain aloft longer
he observed, need only energetic pas
sengers."
He foresees them in extensive regular
use for transportation across the ocean
of important mail and passengers. The
veteran aeronaut said, however, he die
not believe aircraft would ever "catch
up" with ocean steamers in practical
development.
Capt. De Muyter, who placed fourth
in the recent Gordon Bennett balloon
race from st. Louis. came here with
his aide, FranS Lecharlier, to talk ovel
dirigible development with Navy OH

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Valley Canneries

Development. Of the canning industry in the Lower
Rio Crande Valley is proceeding rapidly. According
to estimates. the Valley pack this season will aggre-
gate close to $50 cars, an increase Of approximately
100 pc cent over last year. Several Of the principal
oan1.ng plants have been enlarged, equipped with the
most modern machinery. and the quality Of their
product ranks with the best in the United States.
The development Of this industry under the handi-
cap of high freight rates has been astounding, and is
indicative Of what can be accomplished when water
rates are established for cans and other materials and
lower rail rates secured for wider distribution. In
securing lower rates the railroad serving the Valley
have evidenced their willingness to cooperate, and il
Is not improbable that before the present season closes.
Valley canned goods will have a rate that viii give
them a decided advantage in the southwestern markets
The major markets for the products of Valley can
neries have been developed throughout Texas, though
the market for canned grapefruit is being extended
into practically all states. The high quality Of the
Valley product can win its way into any market, pro-
viding it is given an equal freight rate, and it is TO the
interest Of the entire Valley 10 cooperate with the can
.ners in securing that rate. They are opening for Val
ley products markets which otherwise would be un-
adainabIe. They are utilizing production, which II i
were not for the canning plants, would bring the
growers practically no revenue. Il Is true they cannot
afford to pay high prices for the products, and that
as q rule the cannery price is below that offered BY
The green vegetable or fruit market, but they assure
the grover a market 1t times when his production
cannot be sold for other than canning purposes.
One Of the most interesting phases in connection
With development Of this industry is the local de-
mand that has been created for the products Of Valley
canncries. Until recent years practically no Valley
canned goods appeared on the shelves Of Valley gro
GERS; today their shelves are lined with the Valley
brands, and thousands Of Valley housewives are speci-
flying Valley canned goods in their grocery orders.
DEVELOPMENT OF the industry has reached the point
whereby practically all varieties Of vegetables, canned
IN Valley plants. can ne secured from Valley stores
and every person who u demanding these products II

more profitable foundation.

J. W. Cary runs a column in the souix City Journal
that interests me greatly. I live in New York, and

an insuperable urge, every once in a while, 10 spend
my money at the out-of-town newsstand near ny office
for a copy Of the Journal Of that distant town. I want
to read some Of Careys gossip about the early days
in Souix City, the salty characters that made the town.
and the manner in which the town made its contacts
with its ~neighbors.
carey's column is called "The Bear Seat" and it
isn't all local history, by any means. IT'S full Of
snappy comment on today and tomorrow. but it is when
the writer lapses into Renaissance that I particularly
celebrate the expenditure Of my seven cents for the

Historians Of the future will value these articles.
and those who write them should take the utmost care
to verify dates and cite authorities, for there will be
some very interesting state ard sectional histories
written when the American people really wake up ID
the importance Of this work.
A local columnist who knows local history or Is
familiar with the elders OF the community who have
lived a part Of that history. ought to pack a bit Of
local tradition into his column as often as possible.
I'm sure the future historians Of Sioux City and
Iowa will follow THE Bear Seat back through the
years, for its wealth q local history.
