able in distance flights to navigate IN
adverse conditions more effectively than
those who have not had this experience
At the present time Germany has 5000
glider pilots of all classes. The number
in this country is much smaller, but Is
increasing. The present title holder Is
not naturalized American and so ne
may not be able to claim the American
distance record which he has just made
with his 65-mile flight. However, close
behind him in q gliding score made OIL
the same day is Jack OMcara, who
made 55 miles, or ten less than
Schempp. O'Meara claims the altitude
record as well, having climbed to some
$500 feet according to his altimeter.
Conditions in this country are ex-
ceptionally favorable to gliding. There
are many wide areas bounded by heights
from which the machines can be sent
into the air, with almost free choice OF
direction. Landing fields are numerous
and open spaces are readily to be found
for landing. With these new records
as a stimulus, it may be expected that
greater numbers will take up gliding as
sport If not means of practical
training for air service.

Third Degree Dangers.

Mineola, Long Island, has a case of
police third-degree brutality under con-
sideration which may bring about some
drastic punishments and perhaps the
opening up of inquiries in other parts
of the metropolitan area where police
practices are from time to time under
suspicion. A man who was charged
with having beaten and robbed a
woman was so savagely maltreated by
policemen that he died 1t so happened
that the woman was the mother of
one Of the detectives of the Mineola
police department, a fact which un-
doubtedly caused the application Of
more than ordinary force in his treat
ment." He was put to the question
for eight hours at police headquarters
last Friday and died soon afterward
After an inquiry in court, in which testi-
mony was given to indicate clearly that
the prisoner had been brutally handled,
thirteen policemen we're suspended. The
police deny the use of extraordinary
methods, but specific testimony has been
given by three fellow suspects Of the
dead man, who bore evident marks Of
their treatment. No definite finding
has been made to fix the responsibility.
Washington had an experience Of this
kind some months ego, when q number
of members of the police department
were accused of having maltreated pris-
oners. Some of these cases failed on
prosecution. Some of the accused men
were dropped from the department.

New American Gliding Records

While the new American glider rec
ord of IS miles made on Saturday by
Martin Schempp is far short of the
world record held by Gunter Groenhof
of Germany, a fraction less than 137
miles, it is nevertheless an encourage
ment to those who look upon motorless
flying as an important phase Of heavier
than-air development. This form OF
aviation is still sport. but it is never
theless a valuable training for pilots.
Gliding was started in Germany after
the war as serious means OF training
pilots. The Versailles treaty had re-
duced Germany's aviation service to
a negligible point, with prohibitions
greatly narrowing the scope OF expert
ment and practice. Soon great num-
bers Of motorless planes were being
flown, and from time to time astonish-
ing results were recorded. 1t then be-
came evident that Germany. despite
the handicaps imposed by the treaty,
was developing a new generation of
skilled aviators. The use Of the glider,
indeed, taught even more effectively
than the powered plane the manage
ment of the machine by the use Of the
air currents themselves.
In this country gliding has come
more slowly to the point where it is re-
sulting in preparatory aviation skill.
Now It Is found that flyers VINO have

posed in the cases where brutality was
established, the general result was
wholesome. 1t was clearly established
that torture to extort confession would
not be tolerated. Other cities have had
the same experience.
Apart from the factor Of personal
grievance, as in the case Of this Nine
ola affair, where the mother Of one Of
the policemen had been injured by the
prisoner, there Is q feeling on the part
Of policemen that the crooks, the foot
pads, the robbers-in fact, all Of the
criminal class-have the advantage in
court, however strong the circumstan-
tial evidence against them may be.
Assured themselves OF the guilt of the
prisoner. they proceed to obtain a con-
fession from him II possible. But this
confession may be worthless. Indeed,
there are many cases where 1t has been
ignored by the court on the ground OF
having been obtained by dureSs and
torment. The courts have come to look
with suspicion upon ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OF guilt secured by the police without
witnesses Who are not members of the
organization.
In some cases the third degree Is i'm
posed without the striking of blow.
There are many instances on record
beyond the chance Of falsity where &C
cused persons have been put to mental
torture, leaving no mark. A notable
case occurred here some years ago
where a Chinese accused of murder was
subjected to a psychological torment
which was ended only when he con-
fessed. He was convicted, but after
ward the conviction was set aside on
the ground that the confession was
forced. The question of the guilt was
never satisfactorily settled in that case.
There will probably never be COM
plete cure for this evil. But it must be
resisted, for there is great danger that
the processes of law, already weakened
by the numerous advantages given TO
accused and indicted persons in the
form Of delays and appeals and tech
nical tricks, will be further undermined
by the application of barbarous meth
DDS of handling prisoners.

Boys week is the most important. The
