Study Flyers Sight
at Wilmer Institute

Baltimore effect on vision Of
the extremely high altitude at which
aviators fly is a subject Of intensive
research in the laboratories Of the
new Wilmer Institute Of st. Johns
Hopkins university and Johns Hopkins
hospital. 1t is hoped that the out
come Of the study and research at the
institute In connection with the visual
difficulties of aviators will contribute
to the solution of many Of the prob
lens that are presented In the field of
aviation.
Doctor Wilmer, head Of the insti-
tute that bears his name, became in
terested in the problems of eyesight
of aviators during the World war. He
entered the army as colonel In the
medical corps and directed the work
of the medical research laboratories
OF the air service in investigating,
among other problems. the effect Of
nigh altitude on vision. An instru-
ment, known as the Henderson-Plerce
rebreathing apparatus, was developed,
which produces in a man in the lab
orat0ry an effect similar to that which
he would experience at high altl-
tudes.

STUNTING BRANDED
AS POOR PUBLICITY
Doesn't Help in Making the
Public Air-Conscious.

New York.-The need of a new and
broader Interpretation of the relation
ship of aviation to the general public
is contained in an editorial, Publicity
That Helps the Industry in the aero
nautical weekly, Aviation.
In the article 1t is said that the va
rious stunts which have garnished ay-
iation, particularly in recent years, are
of little value In making the public
air-eonsci0us enough to want to fly.
The editorial follows in part:
"The aviation Industry needs a new
brand of publicity. This is not to say
the previous standards aud practices
have been wrong. They served the
needs of their particular era and gave
the public certain essential facts and
d considerable mass OF heterogeneous
information contributing to air-mind-
edness.
Stunt publicity. [. e., parachute
jumps. refueling attempts. aerial wed
dings and the like do not add appre-
ciabIy to the dignity and air of re-
sp0nsibility essential to the continued
health Of the business. Nor will stat
Lstics and generously embellished re-
ports answer the myriad of questions
the public Is asking and which must
be answered. directly or indirectly.
With the exception of the Lind
berghs. Chamberlalns and Doolittles,
the dignided, transformations and con-
structiye workers whose contributions
TO aviation are not to be measured By
temporal standards have been kept In
the background-too much so, we
sometimes feel. We cite the instance
OF Lieut.. Harry Sutton, late of the
army air service, as an example.
Lieutenant Sutton over a period Of
three years daily risked his life and
limb In hundreds Of test spin" flights
in an effort to analyze this feature Of
flying and to nullify its influence.
'His reward, modestly given and
mOdestly received, was a medal from
the War department and better pay
Ing job in the industry"

DECLARES PILOT Is

jeets strenuously to the idea that a
pilot is superbeing. The romance
loving part of the public, he declares,
has built up tradition about the
man who flies an airplane that would
have him thought of as combination
of a Caesar. Magellan, Mussolini and
Robin Hood.
Its all wrong, the idolization by
the public" said Morehouse. who is
chief pilot of a big air transport COM
pany. "a pilot is an ordinary man,
filled with normal ambitions, who does

Ing something outstanding because the
opportunity coniea his WY.
Sound Judgment Stressed.
Common sense is jewel of a
phrase. 1t associates directly with
good judgment, and in hiring pilots
for my line | strive to determine the
amount of good judgment a pilot has.
OF course, this comes only after we
are satisfied that he knows perfectly
the mechanical part of plotting"
The age at which a pilot is best fit
ted to start flying big transport
planes IS, In most cases, between 28
and 81, M0rehouse said. BY that time
he has learned his profession, thor
0ughly, and moreover, has satisfied
his desire for experimenting with
planes In the air and is content with
safe flight.
Transport line pilots heretofore have
come from the ranks of army and
navy pilots almost exclusively. His
company, according to Morehouse, has
only one pilot who has had no mill
tary or naval experience. For the
future, however, the air transport lines
must look to the commercial schools
for their new men.
1.-THE average course for this in
struction necessitates an outlay of
about $1,000" he pointed out, $4,000
for the course and the rest for ex-
penses. Then the graduate must fig
ure on working as copilot for several
months or years until he makes more
than living COSTS
"a training course for an air trans
port license can be likened to that of
the education of a physician. While
the time required is not so long, the
qualifications are great, and money
expended as much.
Constant Service Valued.
ut is very unusual when we take q
man who has left aviation for a while |
and wants to return to his old love. |
We believe that a pilot should have |
constantly associated himself with |
planes from the time he learned to |
handle the controls.
Personally, | would rather pilot

crack-up, although others argue that
such an incident makes an airman
more careful. But / believe that il
man erred once, there Is a possibility |
1t may occur again. We know the
record Of every man we employ. A
similar procedure is taken by steam
ship companies in selecting their nayf-
gators"
