DIET AND HEALTH
By DR.. Logan CLendening-

The most troublesome prob
lem Of the dietitian Is to "fat-
ten up" people who are consti-
tutionally lean. It is about as
hopeless as Stuffing a grey
hound so it will look like a pug.
Many thin people, as was no
ticed yesterday, are thin be-
cause they have an organic
disease. The Giving skeleton"
Of the side show has a nervous
disease resulting in atrophy Of
the muscles. The commoneSt
organic disease responsible for
underweight is tuberculosis. In
the general vogue for the Slen-
der figure those who were able
to diet themselves into 1t with
the greatest ease were often
found afterwards to have tuber-
culosis. The depressing list Of

they dieted so StrenuouSly in
order to preserve figures which
would hold them their positions
was frequently blamed for the
tuberculosis. This was probably
only partially Just. The tuber-
culoSiS was present all the time.

did not help to hold it in check.

The brides mother and

is also dead and he has several
married brothers and sisters.
His sister has offered to give the
reception. Is this correct?

 "I was in Ketchikan again on August 5th and 6th," he says. NAT. O'Malley knows that there were no fishermen in town on those days. They had scatter ed to their fishing districts. If ke had appeared on August 4th (Sunday) we might have met with him.
 MT. O'Malley's memory is very poor on what he said to our se- cretary on July 3rd. That is to be expected because his reply was such that you would censure him if you could establish what he did say and naturally he won't confess.

 "I was again in Ketchikan on August p, 23, a,d =, eaving on the morning Of t-l3 c55a," he made a great mistake. The burglar denies the charges and has made fine explanation.
 MT. Henry O'Malley has never given us any consideration whatever. We have never been heard by him. He has never cured the things we complain about. Why don't you make him explain the case against Maxfeld Dalton of August 27, 1927?

 I have a wide acquaintance with cannerymen and fisher men, and I am convinced that MT. O'Maley's policies are roundly condemned, and that the ultimate result will be that we wont have either population or fish.

How to Fly
LESSON NO. 81
Of The Washington Times Flying Club
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
AeronduticdL Engineer

The power plant, or the amount
of engine horsepower has much
to do with the performance of
any aircraft. The less the horse
power, the lower the degree of
performance for the individual
aircraft. The greater the amount
of engine horsepower, the greater
the degree Of plane performance.
In the design Of heavier-than-
air craft, there is always Ger.
tain minimum amount of horse
power required to lift the craft
from the ground. This minimum
horsepower, Of course, is deter.
mined at Sea-level. An airplane
with just enough horsepower the
lift it into the air at sea-level,
could not leave the ground at
say 1000 feet above Sea-level. This
fact is due to air pressures and
denSities, which are less with in
creased altitude. However, all
airplanes are powered with a
much greater amount of horse
power than is necessary for
merely taking off. The greater
the amount of performance for
any airplane, the greater the
amount of horsepower required
for that degree of performance.
Below I have given to the stu
dent a comparative list of the
performances of the CurtiSs-
Falcon Army type of observation
biplane. The student will notice
the amount of difference in the
performances of the same type
of craft with different amounts
Of horsepower. In one case the
plane is powered with a Packard
lA-1500 aircraft motor, and in
the other the craft is powered by
a Liberty IL cylinder motor. AS
for the length overall of the
Curtiss-Falcon, it remains the
same in both cases as 81 feet
and 10 inches. The span of 38
feet remains the same in both
cases, as does the height overall
of the aircraft which is 10 feet
and three inches.
AS for the differences of the
airplane under the power of the
Packard 1A-1500, we find the
amount of horsepower at 500 at
2,100 revolutions per minute. The
weight Of the airplane is, in this
case, 2,304 pounds. The amount
of useful load is 1911 pounds,
while the gross weight is 3,815
pounds. The high speed of the

aircraft at sea.level is 154 miles
per hour, which at 10000 feet
would be equal only to 147.4
miles per hour, and which at
10000 feet would be only 1915
miles per hour. The landing
speed would be the same in both
cases or SO miles per hour. The
rate Of climb in this case bases
on sea-level pressure and density
would be 1,725 feet per minute
The service ceiling with this
source of power would be 23,400
feet, while the amount of abso-
lutte ceiling would be 24,800 feet.
The endurance of the aircraft
at highest speed would be that
Of three and a half hours.
AS for the differences of the
performance of this airplane
under the Liberty IL we find the
amount Of horsepower at AIS at
l,760 revolutions per minute. The
weight of the airplane in this
case is 2,477 pounds. The amount
of useful load is 1873 pounds,
while the gross weight is 4,055
pounds. The high speed of the
aircraft at sea-level would be in
this case 152 miles per hour,
which at 10000 feet would be
equal only to 1865 miles per hour,
and which at 10000 feet would
be only SO miles per hour. The
rate Of climb would be with this
source of power would be 1926
feet. The service ceiling is 1900
feet, while the absolute ceiling is
10000 feet. The endurance of
the craft under this source of
power is four hours at high speed.
Thus, it is easy for the student
to see that from the above data
that the selection of the power
plant is perhaps one of the most
important features in the
purchase Of an aircraft. The
student should understand as
clearly as possible the perform
ance of the airplane which he in
tends to fly, and Just what this
performance is and covers. It
will be found that as a rule
the amount of power allotted to
the training types of aircraft is
far less than that allotted the
regular types of commercial air
crafts of the same sizes. AS the
student advances along the lines
OF flight instruction, more power
is granted to the training plane.
All advance instruction is carried
on high powered types of planes.
