Medical Examination
For United States
Army Severe
BY Loean Ciendening. NJ D
THE medical examination OF
L any candidate for the United
States Army is severe-for Of
ficers more severe than for pri-
Yates. And the most severe Of all
is for military pilots Of airplanes.
Besides the ordinary examinations
the pilot has to pass certain spe-
cial tests. The eyes and ears are
given most careful scrutiny-the
ability of the ears TO keep clear
in changing atmospheres, and the

Blackout Bugaboo

The blackout is by no means so
easily controlled, although Com
mander John r. Paffen, of the
Navy. is confident that he and his
associates are on the track of
solution. Both the British and
the Germans have used a pneu-
matte belt for pilots. By contract
ing the belt during dives, it tends
to forestall the accumulation of
blood in the lower parts of the
body, and keeps the blood supply
to the brain more nearly normal.
A crouching position during the
dive also helps to maintain Cir
culation in the brain by pressing
the brain nearer the heart. The
pilots are not allowed TO eat beans
or other food which causes gas. If
the blackout problem is solved, it
will be as important as the dis
covery of the bomb sight. The
strength of American planes al
lows them to dive at great speeds.
No examination, or psychomet-
ric test, has yet been devised,
which is able TO distinguish
whether a pilots nerves will
stand the gait Of air fighting or
not.

Oxygen Tests

Oxygen lack in high attitudes
causes an attack on the judgment
Of the pilot. 1t can be initiated ex-
perimentally and it is remarkable
to see candidates tested under con-
ditions of low oxygen pressure.
They are asked questions to which
they either reply in writing or by
the spoken voice. and they are
given tests with instruments.
When the oxygen pressure gets
low they think they are replying
perfectly sensibly. but what they
say makes no sense.
Oxygen starvation in high alti-.
tudes has been studied for many
years. In high attitudes, the pres
sure of the oxygen falls, although
the percentage Of oxygen is the
same. The force for pushing the
oxygen into the blood" decreases.
If it were a simple matter Of
rarefed atmosphere we could
make up for it by taking more
breaths, but the pressure must be
increased also. The problem is,
of course, solved by the use Of
oxygen masks-more or less per-
fectly. The masks and apparatus
are constantly being improved.

IF FIRE STRIKES

Do you know how your life, and the lives OF
Others when fire strikes? Or would succumb to panic
or ignorantly make wrong and possibly fatal moves?
The National Board of Fire Underwriters offers few
simple vital rules of action the event OF fire Above
all keep calm
If clothing becomes gned drop at once to the floor
and roll in rug blanket, keeping ii tight about the
neck protect head, face and lungs from the flames
clothing fire must be smothered by cutting Oft air.
If you in public building when an alarm sounds
remember the old yet dsregarded rule Walk-do
NOT runto the ex Running is almost certain
way mob panic. If you the discoverer of
fire in building the fire department first, then the
buildings occupants.
If you awaken at night and smell smoke don't open
your bedroom door, That may let in deadly superheaed
al and fumes Place your hand the door and if it is
hot keep closed If isn't hot place your foot against
your face and open it slightly. If you feel pres
sure, slam shut and seek another means of exit Every
occupied should have such secondary exit as a
basic protection.
Do these rules seem obvious? Perhaps they are-but

who knows fire dangers and knows how to best avoid
them has far better chance of escaping alive from
