we'll to read DR.. Isaac Jones little
book on aviation medicine called
Flying Vistas''. Dr. Jones has
had long experience as a flight
surgeon. At the outbreak Of the
war, with the late DR.. Theodore
Lyster, he drew up the aviation ex-
animation adopted by the army
and navy, and at the Versailles
treaty conference he was. one of
the committee which drew up the
international requirements for COM
mercial flying.
Never Intended to Fly
Nature never intended man to
fly, and in the air he is living un-
der totally unnatural conditions.
His body is tapped around in ways
that never could be accomplished
on land or sea, and he ascends to
heights where even the eagle dares
not soar, and where he is living in
an atmosphere lacking in oxygen,
which is the breath of life".
His body must be of kind that
is able to adjust under these diff
cult circumstances. Incidentally.
I believe that for those oldsters
who think of using the air as a
means Of transportation, it is well
to remember that an elderly body
does not adjust as well as a young
one, and there is very practical
test to see whether you are adapt
ed to flying as means Of trans
portation-go up for a few hours
to a pretty good altitude. II you
have trouble with your ears or
your stomach for the next few
hours or days, you had better give
it up. Automobiles and trains Will
get you there fast enougho
For the young man and young
woman, ambitious to be pilots,
however, there are better and more
accurate methods of determining
fitness. These 1 will discuss IN

South allowed this to hold and won
the third round with the K. South
was fortunate in finding the club
A in the East hand and therefore
lost only two spades and club.
East could have prevented South
from making his contract by play
ing the Q on the first round of
spades. South then would have
been in the position of deciding
whether to win with the king or
take the chance of not winning any
tricks at all in that suit if it de-
veloped that Vests lead had been
from the ALTO. The winning of
the first spade trick would have
defeated South, as when East then
won the club, he would have cashed
the spade A and led his last spade

A UTUMN is a favorable season
~ in this latitude for planting
4 \ ornamental and fruit trees,
shrubs and many perennial
garden plants. The generally mild
Winters permit the trees to become
established and even to make some
new root growth below the freezing
line. With Spring, the plants are
ready to grow without the slow period
Of recovery often noted in Spring set
plants. Many northern nurseries dig
much of the sslable stock in October
after the leaves have fallen from
deciduous species. The plants are
either sold or placed in big cellar
storages. Rather obviously the tree or
shrub would be better off in the soil
in its permanent home than in any
temporary storage
Then, too. there is the practical
viewpoint that the home gardener is
usually much buster in Spring than in
late Autumn He has more time to do
good Job of planting which means
large and deep hole refilled perhaps
with top soil. In Spring it is often
case of getting a lot of material
planted in very brief time.
Before planting tree or shrub,
some thought should be spent as to
how the plant will look when full
grown. In other words, there should
be some planting plan either in the
mind or, better yet, drawn out care
fully on paper For the larger place.
1t may pay well to secure the service
OF a landscape gardener Some of
the local nurseries render this service
to prospective customers at nominal
charge. One can save himself a lot
OF worry later on il planting is well
thought out in the beginning As an
example of what not to do, one oc-
casionally sees Norway spruce or other
forest-sized trees planted in small
front lawn.
As to details of planting. these are
simple. One should dig a hole wide
enough to accommodate the roots nat
urslly without bending them back
into the hole. The plant should be
set at just about the depth it was in
the nursery. One should not place
concentrated fertilizer in the hole. as
such may kill the roots Bone meal
or pulverized animal manure may be
placed under the plant or on the sur
lace after planting. Fertilizer will not
help the plant TO begin growth but will
help 1t once growth is re-esta blished

should be replaced with good top soil

Roses.
WITH the important Potomac Rose
Society Show coming in early
October, the 9th and 10th, local rose
growers should begin to consider ways
and means of having some fine flowers
for entry in this notable display.
Frequently the highest awards have
fallen to some home gardener with
only few plants. In the first place.
the foliage should be protected with
Massey dust or some other effective
agent against black spot A defoliated
bush cannot bear choice flowers and a
rose, no matter how beautiful, on a
defoliated stem would have no value
in an exhibit. 1t is difficult to de-
termine the number of DAYS from bud
to open bloom so that it is desirable
to have several buds on each bush. but
only one bud on each shoot. This
means that the strong terminal bud
should be saved and the lateral buds
pinched out while they are still small.
The single bud will be stronger with
out It's competitors and furthermore
the Judges would rule out a double
or triple 1overed stem at once
Although it is generally advised not
to fertillze or cultivate roses after
September /, those growers who are
planning to enter the Potomac Show
mad better be certain their plants are
well supplied with plant food and kept
growing thriftily by frequent culti-
vation. The bushes will still have most
OF October and November to slow
down for Winter.
