DEATH CLAIMS
AIR PIONEER
Glenn Curtiss Succumbs
Following Operation :
At Buffalo

BUFFALO. N. Y, July 2S.-P-
Glenn II. CurtiSs. widely known
aviation pioneer. died today in the
General Hospital here.
Mr.. CurtiSs was brought TO the
hospital several days ago from his
home at Hammondsport. N. r.. to
undergo an operation for append
icitis. The operation was said TO
have been successful and he was
reported recovering rapidly.
Hospital authorities declined to
furnish any details concerning the
aviator's death. but said that a
statement probably would be issued
later in the day.
Glenn II. Curtiss nurtured the
young science OF aviation in the
middle years Of its development
when fainter hearts had grown
discouraged.
His native town OF Hammonds-
port. in upstate New York, where
he was born on May 81, 1878. Is
now called BY the chamber OF COM
merce The Cradle of Aviation
because of what CurtiSS and his
associates did there.
Made Famous Motor
At the age Of is he started a
bicycle shop, as did those other
pioneers OF American aviation
the Wright Brothers-and from
that went into bicycle racing. He
sought some near to make them
go faster but there were no engines
that would meet the demand Sc
Curtiss decided TO make one.
With a tomato a for a carbur-
ator. he built his first motor
bicycle in 1901. He continued "a
experiment with light weight motors
and evolved his famous v-tvpe, a
departure in design reflected In
the radial airplane engines OF to-
day. IN 1902 he won the New York
State Road Race, competing with
the best riders OF two continents
He set a speed record at Ormond

1906, over the same course. Travelled
faster than MAJ ever had before, a
mile in rs and rs secnods or al
the rate OF approximately 140 mile:

years.

tOTing tests.
ington University decrease in performance
efficiency and accuracy was observable among
the student subjects after nerve fatigue was
produced. For example, an eight-hour auto
mobile ride over rough roads resulted in de-
creases as great as 1853 per cent, while average
fatigue after five-hour periods of mental null
duplication showed a decline of only &c per
cent. The subjects ability to tap a telegraph
key was reduced twice as much after 300
mile automobile ride as by a five-hour session
with mental mathematics in the laboratory.
DR.. Moss used two different systems of
measuring hand steadiness after fatigue was
induced by motoring One featured q simple
tracing test with stylus through a narrow
groove. The sides of the groove were cleo
trified so that errors could be recorded on
special counter whenever the stylus came in
contact with the sides of the groove. The
second apparatus consisted of two metal tubes
that telescoped together 1t was made at the
Bureau of Standards Steadfness is measured

The rate of oxygen consumption, as shown
by basal metabolism tests, has increased in all
cases after automobile rides. The amount of
change depends on the length Of the journey,
type Of car used and condition of the road
travelled. Oxygen consumption was the low
est after one-hah day rides over good roads
and highest after 150-mile jaunt over a rough
dirt road.
Automotive engineers have known for sew
eral years that. after long motor trips both
the drivers and passengers suffer from i'm
paired equilibrium, or loss of balance. Auto
mobile manufacturers, recognizing this con-
dition, have tried to improve riding quality
so as to minimize all such discomfort For
the most part, they have not succeeded in
stamping it from the motor travel picture.
Dr. Moss has experimental with four different
wabblemeters, several of which he originated,

fication % this loss &C equilibrium. or balance,
