BY ALICE ROGERS HAGER,

In all parts of the country testi-
mony is available of the rapid ap-
proach of the time when substrat-
osphere flying with passengers will
be an everyday matter.
Maj. r. w. Schroeder, new assist
ant director of the Bureau of Air
Commerce and one Of the pioneers
of substratosphere flying. with an ad-
venturous record Of 38,10O feet in
1920, offers the following viewpoint:
In 1888 We introduced a bureau
regulation that airline flight at an
altitude of $4,000 feet would be per-
mitted only under certain conditions.
No passenger planes of that time
could go that high-we deliberately
sowed seed for the future. I also
went to more than half a dozen
manufacturers, Douglas, Boeing,
Lockheed, Vultee and Northrup
among them, to discuss what could
be done. They all felt the use of
pressure cabins would come.
Mail Must Go Through.
"a year ago we asked Harlee
Branch of the Post Office Depart
ment to request bids on nonstop
and one-stop airmail service, the OPP
orators being allowed to use any type
of ship they wished. With one-mo-
tored planes, supercharged engines
and cabins and parachute-eq equipped
pilots, they could pioneer the way
fNr inh IiI iy,
the early airmail days They could
fly three or four hundred miles an
hour at high attitudes for long dis
tances. Now we subject passengers
to the inconvenience of mail sched-
ules and a considerable amount of
rough weather because the mail must
go through
ut is already possible to eliminate
much passenger discomfort by flying
at a somewhat higher altitude and
introducing small amount of oxy-
gen into the cabin through the air
conditioning system. The great step
forward will be when real pressure
cabins come, however, and they will
provide a major safety factor Planes
so built can fly in bad weather di-
rectly over an airport cone of silence
and make dive landing almost
straight down. Several of our recent
accidents would have been avoided
had such landings been possible now
ships in deep water don't drag their
bottoms"
Seek Human Aspects.
J. c. Edgerton chief of the STRAIT
osphere section of the bureau, added
information about the intensive and
valuable study being made under his
direction as to the little known ele-
ment of human reaction to oxygen
deprivation and changes of pressure.
I'VE are trying to learn the human
aspects" he said, land build the en-
cheering projects around them. The
bureau Is aware of conditions sur
rounding fight personnel and is plan
ming thorough program of study.
At present, for example, our ruling
is that no plane may let down faster
than 400 feet per minute. because we
know the eustachian tubes don't
equalize faster than that. In the
case of persons suffering from any
Inflammation of the head passages
they are greatly troubled even by so
gentle descent.
With pressure cabins all manner

making at Columbia and Harvard are
trying to reproduce all types of all
ments and their reactions. So far
we have found that people who are
neurasthenic suffer the greatest alti-
tude distress. Illness reduces the
capacity to conduct oxygen to the
tissues, and by finding the average
level at which altitude effects shift
out OF comfort into the physiological
zone we can tell at what point it is
necessary to seal off'-that is, what
internal pressure to establish in the
cabins. Sea-level sealing would re-
suit in pressure too great for our
present stress skin strength. About
4,8 pounds per square inch seems
feasible now"
Many Problems to Be Solved.
Add the testimony of w. C. Rookie
teller, to whom I talked the other
day at the California institute Of
Technology in Pasadena. "One thing
OF outstanding value" he stated, lis
the exhaust turbo-supercharger de-
veloped by the Army in cooperation
with General Electric. The super
charged engine problem for high alti-
tudes is solved to the point where
it is only matter Of adaptation to
the particular units involved. Per-
sonally, I do not believe that we can
fly passengers at substratosphere alti-
tudes short of three or four years
there are still problems to be solved
which are different from those Of ex-
perimental flight. AS for actual fly
ing of the stratosphere itself, such
tremendous difficulties exist there
that we have not anything like .
solution in sight"
In Chicago two major airline OPP

orators discussed the economic fac
tor. Said Harold Crary, vice presi-
dent OF United Airlines: "Of all trans
portation mediums aviation Is the
only one that has made a scientific
study OF passenger comfort. Part of
Uniteds contribution has been the
experiments conducted in our flying
laboratory with flight surgeon test
ing subjects at attitudes up to $4,000
feet for effects of oxygen depriva-
ton. We took them up where they
would be met with actual changes
OF pressure and oxygen shortage and
then studied their slowed and quick
ened reactions when they received
or were denied an artificial supply.
There Is no question but that high
altitude flying is ahead for all of

us-to my mind 1t Is only a question
OF how soon the traffic will justify
the expense of these supercharged
ships, which will probably cost in
the neighborhood of $275,000 each, at
least in the beginning"
C. r. Smith, president of American
Airlines, capped this. These ships
are important for the future, but they
will have to be used on long flights
to make them pay. For each mile
of distance flown it Is economical to
climb so feet. You could go up Is, 900
feet on the New York-Chicago hop,
but no shorter distance would he
practical. For the passengers it will
mean more comfort in every way,
but the flexible, smaller planes will
still have to take the short runs at
