Germany, Lieut.. Soucek believes.
VIII Make New Attempt.
Lieut.. Seucek referred to the need
LOT such helmet in describing the
preparations he Is making for another
attempt to break the world record, ac-
cerding to officials of Pratt & Whit
ney Co., builders of the motor which
powers Soucek's little Navy Apache
plane used for the altitude flights.
one cannot inhale enough air at
$4,000 feet-about 47 miles-above the
earth to keep alive" Lieut.. Soucek said.
II felt drowsy and tired for lack of
oxygen on my last flight, even though
had pure gas flowing into my mouth,
while my nose and ears were plug
ged up.
we have been studying this situa-
ton with view to developing some
devices, such as a deep-sea divers hell
met. to allow the head of the pilot to
remain In atmosphere similar to that
at sea level. To date nothing satisfac-
tory has been worked out. The diff
Guilty is that the exhaust valves at
tached to such q helmet will freeze
either open or shut under low tenn
peratures."
81 Miles High Now Limit.
Lieut.. Soucek does not believe that
man can go higher than ela miles with
the present type Of oxygen equipment.
Our clothing" he said, "is much
better suited for the purpose intended
than our breathing devices. 1t is be-
lieved that man can go to unlimited
attitudes without freezing any part of
his body or even suffering much dis
comfort. The apparel worn on my
flights weighs less than 10 pounds,
and no necessity for more clothes was
felt in even the coolest zone reached,
which was about rs degrees below Zero"

BAL T|MORE PRAISED

Former Air Counsel for China

BALTIMORE, February S.-This city
rapidly Is becoming the most important
air center of the Eastern seaboard, ac-
cording to Carl H. Dolan, former avi-
alton counsel for the Chinese govern
ment and now assistant manager of the
Eastern Air Transport, Inc, who visited
Logan Field this week.
Mr.. Dolan arrived at the field, flying
q supermatlWing plane, the type used
on the airman route Of the Eastern Air
Transport Co., through Baltimore.
Il have travelled by air throughout
the United States since returning to
America from China in 1923, and no
where have found greater strides
being made in aviation than I have in
Baltimore" he said.
"One thing have found in my travel
is that the air lines Of the country are
far in advance of the airports and
terminals.
II mean by this that the airports are
not as accessible as they should be for
the convenience Of those wishing to
travel by air.
II find no exception In Baltimore
although can see great possibilities OF
Improvement by means of the new nu-
nicipal airport, which will afford quick
transportation to the heart of the city
II have been in Baltimore only once

Dolan said he was making q short In
speetion of Q few divisions Of the line In
which minor changes were being made
or contemplated.
