Blind Flying Proves Safe.
Hardshins Exaggerated.

We are finding from the questions
that people ask us that they eXaggerate
the harGships and the strain on pilot
and navigator due to a long fast trip
such as ours. I'll admit we we're tired
when We landed and we still are tired.
We had only four or five hours sleep
last night after going on short rest
rations most of the flight. But we
don't feel any Ill effects from 1t today.
I'm still pretty deaf, but I'll be able to
hear pretty well by tomorrow. AS a
matter of fact, I could hear better in
the plane than I could on land, and it
is the absence of the motors vibration
that makes 1t hard for me to hear now.
I was in good condition when l
started and am now. except that my
leg is still sore from kicking the rudder.
We did not do any special training for
our trip, but on the flight We took as
good care of ourselves as circumstances
permitted. We drank plenty of water
and ate very little food--not more than
one peal day We ate hardly at all
in the plane. That kept lis fresh. And
We are net particularly hungry now.
We had no trouble keeping awake on
the long stretches. which seems to sur
prise some people, and / think we
actually felt better late along in the

RADIO USELESS, SAYS GATTY.
World Flight Bares Need of Better
NavigatiOnal instruments.
BY HAROLD GATTY.
Navigator of the Monoplane. Winnie M.

Navigator of the Monoplane. Winnie Mae.
/ NEW YORK, July 3-As a navigator.
our flight around the world impressed
me with two facts. One Is that instru-
ments and mathematical tables used in
determining position must be vastly i'm
proved. The other Is that our radio
was of virtually no use to us whatever.
had looked forward to the flight for
long time for the opportunity 1t would
offer to study the practical application
of the latest developments in instru-
ments and technique of aero-naviga-
ton. Ever since I was cadet at the
Australia Naval College, which l entered
in 1917 when was IA years old. inavi-
cation has interested me. What ]
learned at the naval college I put to
practical use for six or seven years as
a deck officer on merchant ships.
Then, three and a half years ago, ]
took up the study of accommodation
in this country with Lieut.. Comdr.
Philip Weems. who is now an instructor
at the Naval Academy at Annapolis
This is different and offers more prob
lens than navigation at sea because of
the speed at which you are going and
other factors peculiar to flight.
Uses Bubble Sextant,
Well, what he taught me I had a
chance to put to some use In fairly
long flights on the West Coast. Weems
and worked up some new methods for
calculations in celestial navigation. US
ing what Is known as the WeemS sys-
tenn.
In this system you use bubble sextant
and an aero-chronometer. AS any one
who has had anything to do with navi-
CATION knows with bubble sextant YOU
don't have to worry about the horizon.
Flying over the Siberian wilderness or
the Behring Sea or at any other point
where 1t was possible to see the sun or
the, stars, we could count on the bubble
sextant giving us an accurate reading
whether or not the horizon was hazy.
Has Mechanical Time Check.
The aero-chronometer is designed to
offset the difficulty that the rapid speed
OF an airplane adds to making a call
culation. At sea you can note the time
OF an observation by glancing at the
second hand of the chronometer and
remembering where 1t points. This is
all right when you are travelling at the
slow speed of a ship, but it leads to
inaccuracies when you are flying. The
advantage OF the aero-chronometer Is
that 1t provided mechanical check on
NiiC OAoSI hiotdilI Vi OOSSTVdClOn.
These instruments are just coming
into use now. The more I learn about
navigation the more impressed / am
by how little Is known Of the subject.
The Army and Navy are taking up
these new instruments and l am sure
that they viii be used universally as
time goes on.
l found that 1t was more satisfactory
to take sights on the stars than ON the
sun, because the sun provided you only
one line to calculate on. If you have
an adequate oct Of tables, sights on the

MRS. GATTY THINKS OF BOYS.
Reception Gorgeous" She Says After
Ticker Tape Trip.
BY MRS. HAROLD GATTY.

NEW YORK, July 3.-If had at my
command all the words Shakespeare
used, I couldn't describe my sensations
during my husbands flight and this
wonderful reception New York has
given us.
Not being poet. but Just a house
wife, all wrapped up III the welfare
OF my Riddles and husband, Ill lust
say 1t has been wonderful, thrilling,
gorgeous.
always knew Harold and Mr.. Post
would do ii. They are combination
! nothing can beat, not even the weather,
which IS just about the worst menace 4
flyer can face.
Children Sense Events.
All through our exciting day yeSter-
day. with ticker tape flying about us
everywhere, music, speeches, and shout
ing crowds, I've been saying to myself
how proud our three children are going
To be OF their father when they realize
fully what it is all about.
Alan, who Is the Oldest is only S. but
think he understands lot about
what this means already. Lindsay and
Ronald are and ?, SO they don't know
what wonderful thing it is to fly
around the world, but they will soma
day. And 1 guess they'll probably be
aviators when they grow up.
Out in California, where the children
are now, they SenSed something import
ant was happening even Ronald, who
would run out OF the house every time
he heard an airplane, point upward
with his little hand and say:
"Airplane. Daddy. Daddy"
Unafraid for Flyers.
I was IN California during the first
part of the flight, and 1 oidn't get
; frightened at all. 1 just told every
body our boys would make it.
I'm disappointed that / didn't get
to New York in time to see them land
| at Roosevelt Field, but I'm also glad.
! in sense, that they got here first, be-
cause If they had been delayed that
would mean the record wouldn't be as
low as it is
I travelled part Of the way across
the continent by airplane, but we ran
into some pretty terrible storms, and
We finally were forced down and I had
to make the rest of the trip by train,

When the train arrived 1 just hurried
off to the hotel to kiss Harold 1 don't
remember what he said, but I know
| We both laughed with joy. He didn't
, look at all tired. I feel tired, because
I haven't slept whole lot during these
! last few days, although l wasn't afraid
! I'd like to be back home July for
Ronalds birthday, but if I don't get
there in time, maybe We can have his
party later.

UnforgettabIe Ride Up
Broadway in Auto.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Broadway gave
me my biggest thrill. 1t has all been
nice. I've had wonderful time, but
I t:aink that ride UP Broadway--well
I'll never forget 1t.
have had hardly moment alone
with Wiley, SO 1 don't know how he
felt about it. We were in separate cars
yesterday.
When Wiley started out, I'm sure
he had no idea it would end like this
He expected to make it, but he wasn't
thinking about the end of 1.-THE big
reception and all that. I'm sure il
didn't enter his head I know 1 didn't
dream 1t would be like this.
Wife on Ills First Solo Hop.
He dreamed about this trip and dreamed
about 1t just like he thought a long
time about flying before he took it up
We talked it all over. That was before
We were married
I went for my first airplane ride with
Wiley on his first solo flight. It was
an hour and a half after he learned to
fly that he flew solo. was silly enough
to go up with him. AT least, in view
OF what ! know now, realize / was
silly. That was in MaySville. Okla.
We were married
/ have known Wiley since I was a
small girl. / knew his mother too. She
lives in Maysyille now. Shes going to
be awtuily proud OF him.
Talk Over Ocean Flight.
When Wiley told me he wanted to
make this flight around the world we
had very sensible talk. l never OBJ
tected to his going on the flight. I
have never once objected to any fly
ing he wanted TO do.
When he isn't flying Wiley Is a man
who likes to stay home. He doesn't
care for parties or going out. He's a

food and doesn't sleep much. But he
likes regular hours.

I really haven't had a chance TO talk

Post and Gatty have disclosed nc
plans for future activities. Hall, the
Oklahoma oil man, who sponsored the
fight, has said he will send the Winnie
Mae to Oklahoma and later give it to
his little GIRL" Mrs Winnie Mae Fain,
after whom 1t was named.
The future Of Post and Gatty was a
big question mark.
Will they undertake another flight
Of record nature? They said they
have not even thought about it.
VIII they go back to obScurity, Post
to pilot the planes of an Oklahoma oil
man, Gatty to work wherever a navi-
gator is needed? Who knows? Appar-
emily not the two most concerned.
Pacific Flight Suggested.
"We have no plans" reiterated Gatty,
holding to his practice of answering
questions with Geographic brevity. we
are not sure just when We shall return
home"
I'VE haven't got plan in the world"
said Post yesterday. to make 1t more
explicit; I'VE haven't plan ahead of
80 minutes from now"
Asked about the suggestion OF flight
westward across the Pacific, Gatty said,

Mayor Walker and Gatty bore Of
the days honors for wisecracks at yes
terday's reception and presentation Of
city medals. The mayor told the voy-
ayers:
When your ship left Roosevelt Field
1t was the Winnie Mae I have an
idea that over Russia and the far north
you decided it was the Winnie Must.
Last night, back at Roosevelt Field, 1t
became the Winnie Did"
Gatty, asked If he and Post had any
trouble with foreign languages, replied:

early stages. We didn't take any in
toXicants. I don't use them at all. and
we simply did not need any stimulants.
Future Still Implanted.
Flying is a habit like other things.
If you get the habit you'll never get
over it. You would thinl: I had had
enough flying to do me for while, but
in three or four days ! know III be
impatient to get in the air again.
Just what our future plans are neither
.Gatty nor l can say now. We have
heard all sorts of reports about things
we are supposed to be preparing, new
flights and the like. AS a matter OF
fact, we have no plans whatever. We
both want to go home, of course, but
we do not know when that will be. A
number of offers of various sorts have
come to us, We are told, but We have
not had time to consider them and dc
not even know what most Of them are
One was an offer TO go on the stage
That's a joke. That's the last thing
we would do.
Spent Nothing on Trip.
One feature Of our trip brings us a
chuckle. Here we've been around the
world and have spent a tremendous day
in New York, and we literally haven't
spent a cent. We had S35 when We
left New York for incidental expenses
1 had $34 of it and Gatty had the other
dollar, and we've still got it. We never
had chance to buy anything
OF course. arrangements had been
made in advance at all fields for our
gasoline and OIL and these were pur-
chased on credit. But on our personal
expenses were were treated to such gen.
erous hospitality everywhere that We
never got our hands near our pocket
books.
