DEMANDS ON FLYERS
Hazard

Hazards of flying, like hazards in many other
fields, are not to be measured merely IN terms OF
flirting with sudden death. There must be consid-
cred the strain which continued flying exerts the
human body especially the eyes, ears lungs, heart
and nervous system.
When bodily resources become exhausted the in
dividual is likely to lose confidence and judgment.
Long flights may bring eye strain and headaches,
while the is subjected to stresses due to
cold winds, sudden changes of speed and direction,
rapid variations in atmospheric and the ter
rifle of the engine Other parts of the body are
heavily taxed, especially under unfavorabe condi-
tons.
Therefore men and women of the air must live
a careful life, eat moderately and with meticulous
regard for proper diet. They must have proper rest
sleep and exercise, and in other ways keep in the
pink of condition if they would withstand the siren
uous demands of air navigation.
The most successful aviators, both men and wo-
men, have been those who gave most careful heed
to the physical requirements of their profession.

SENTENCES FOR CRIME

There is much in the theory of indeterminate
prison sentences for criminals to commend its wider
adoption, at least experimental measure for
the protection of society The idea is that when
convicted of serious crime the offender should be
restrained until he gives evidence of genuine in
tention to be good.
AS we understand it. under this plan the crimi-
nal is treated somewhat insane person is treat
ed. An insane person is not sent to asylum for
a definite period but is supposed to be kept there
until his condition improves sufficiently to make his
release safe. If his condition not be improved
he stays for life.
There is q similarity between the lunatic and
the criminal in that both sick One is mentally
sick, the other is morally sick Both can often be
cured by proper treatment. The condition of each
should be determined by experts before turning him
loose At least that is the theory of the ndeterm-
nate sentence-and it seems sensible

WOodlOt Should Be Handled

Farm timber tracts are being
drawn upon more heavily this
winter than for the last few years,
to meet local building and fuel re-
quirements, says Parker o. Ander-
son, forestry specialist of the ex-
tension division, University Farm,
st. Paul.
Local demands for fuel wood
have been met with homegrown
fuels. The consumer has met his
needs at a low cost and the timber
owner has found an additional
source of farm income.
But care in cutting must be ex-
ercised, says Mr.. Anderson, in or
der that present demands may not
have a lasting ill-effect on the re-
naming timber. Owners should be

less valuable trees, leaving the bet
ter varieties and those that will be
of more commercial Importance, to
grow into lumber for better uses.
Care should also be taken to fell
trees so as not to injure the more
valuable species and younger trees
which will make the future stands.
After the trees are cut down,
close utilization should follow in or
der that the greatest amount Of
cordwood may be produced.
Trees over 10 inches in diameter
are usually more valuable for 9TH

None Of these people had dentists
