dirigibie, It has been predicted that IL win
serve mainly as the captains gig"-a rmabout
to ferry the skipper or the admiral on the Sec
rotary or some important Congressman back
and forth between the big gas bag and Mother
Earth.
When the word got around that there was
to be an aiplane squadron aboard the Akron,
practically every pilot in the Navy, 1t seemed,
applied for transfer to that group.
From where they sat at the time. It looked
like pretty nice job-dying once In . while
and sitting around the rest Of the time. But
that isn't going to be the case, as the flyers
are beginning 10 discover.
Some weeks ago It dawned upon the powers
that-be In washington that these pilots would
have nothing ut al to do when they weren't
flying their airplanes. which after al would be
a very small fraction Of the time. So out went
an order that all men assigned TO this new
squadron must take the lighter than-air course
at Lakehurst
Thus, once aboard the dirigihle, they VIII
know how to help run the big aarship. and win
have to stand regular watches along with the
dirigibles regular crew. That took some Of the
rosy hue out of the job, but even so those who
will get 1t are pleased, because It win be some
thing different at least.
In this special aircraft squadron there win
be "a men-5 commissioned officers, al pilots;
10 enlisted men to handle the planes and do
the mechanical work, and ! mess boy to look
after the chow.
Only two Ofacers have so far been assigned.
The FIRST one was Lieut.. Daniel ward Harrigan,
and he has been I'm training ct LAkehurst for
several months now. strangely, he had never

HELDFALLACY

PITTSBURGH, May 5.-What

Between the time we trust our

Morpheus and the moment of
arising, refreshed, the next day,
what occurs?
A group of scientists at the

search was asked to answer this
question, and their investigation,
recently completed, revealed some
extraordinary facts.
20 Changes a Night
1t was disclosed that, among
all the "SleeperS" who submitted
to the experiment, every one ex-
perienced at least 20 gross
changes" of posture during a
given night.
Least active Sleepers were a
group of unmarried women of
college age.
Children shift more during
their sleep than adults.
Each change of pose one takes
is we'll chosen, when considered
with reference to the irritation
set up by previous poses.
Observed Closely
Twenty-one adults and eight
children submitted to the nightly
analysis of their sleeping lives"
No bed covering could be used in
the tests, naturally, since every
motion of the individual had to
be scrutinized, shot" and tabu-
lated. Temperature was kept
around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
