Cherry Trees Gift of

In November, 1909, the municipal
ity of Tokyo, Japan, presented to the
city Of Washington 1000 Japanese
cherry trees as a token of the high
esteem which was held by the people
of Tokyo for the people of the United
States. The trees arrived in Wash
ington in January, 1910, but upon
careful inspection by experts in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture were found to be infected
with the rootgall worms and other
insect pests and with certain fungus
diseases; this necessitated their be-

Pupils In Flying Must
Learn Full-Flight First

It may seem rather like putting
the cart before the horse that the
pupil In flying is taught thoroughly
how to handle a machine in full
flight before he even knows how to
take Off or to land, writes Alan War
wick, In PearsOn's Magazine. The
point Is, of course, that at several
thousand feet in the air errors of
control can be made more or less
with impunity. There Is ample
time for the pupil to correct them
or, If he gets himself tied up into
knots. the instructor can straighten
things out.

latitude. The machine Is very near

both these phases of flying an air

possess until he has become thor
oughly familiar with the controls. a
familiarity he only acquires In mid
air.
To the beginner 1t may well seem
that the delicate work of landing a

as his lessons proceed he soon mod

dence and self-reliance he acquires
that, when at last he comes to mas
tering the take-off and landing. the
contrOl-column has become almost
part of himself, and he finds they
are problems well within his com
pass.
Before taking the tests for his
"a" license, the new pilot must have
flown at least three hours solo. The
tests themselves. in addition to
showing flying skill, include a
simple medical examination. The
additional questions put by the med
ical examiner are searching enough.
The qualifying pilot must also dis.
play knowledge of the elementary
rules relating to air traffic. For in
stance, he must know the correct
method of approaching a landing
ground, and what he has to do
when meeting another machine in
midair.
