sense Of balance. a. cat held
upside down and dropped will
nip over Immediately to land
on its paws. Capt. Setback tried
it in space. The kitten stayed
upside down. its reflex ability
gone.
Man. like cats. depends for
balance on fluid in a curled
little tube inside his ears. When
he stands, the fluid is at the
bottom. When he lies down.
the fluid moves. and tells him
the position of his head.
Gravity keeps the fluid down,
so man knows even when he's
upside down.
But in zero-G, there is no
force to do the job. What is the
answer? Capt. Shack thinks it
lies in instruments.
In instrument flying during
bad weather, pilots must learn
to trust the instruments COM
pletely. They are told to forget

seconds. That's not long
enough. says another captain
who won a Phi. b. at the Uni
verSity Of Illinois this year a
thesis on wdghtlessness.
Capt. Grover ], D. Setback of
the missile center space biology
branch says: Long term ex-
posure is something we knew
very little about"
Capt. Setback has made many
flights with Capt. Kittinger. He
has found that man can't eat
or drink in the usual way while
he is in zero-G.
Open containers Just don't
work. Squeeze bottles or tubes
will.f Water won't flow. It will
roll out Of an ordinary glass
and be suspended in globules.
To get a drink. you splash it
into your mouth.
Put a peanut in your mouth
and it's apt to float back out.
IAN ordinary meal would be
all over the cockpit" he says.
Cats have an exceptional

about flying "by the seat Of the
pants" A planes instruments
may show an aircraft turning
to the right. but mans complex
nervous system may make him
feel it's level.
Pilots have learned to trust
instruments. and he believes
mans adjustment to space will
come in the same way. How
soon?
In the near future. he hopes
to stretch his experiments by
a few seconds and:
"In high performance planes
we may be able to 60 something
over a minute in zero-G. In
rockets. some day. we viii be
able to go longer, and sometime
there Will be manned satellites"
And then. eventually. there
will be rockets to the moon and
possibly beyond. carrying hui
man beings. But there is a
great deal to be learned between
now and then.

other side. your body rises for
an instant of the car seat. Roll
er coaster riders know the same
feeling.
Capt. Joe Kittinger is an Air
Force pilot who has done consi-
derable experimenting in
wenghlessness. He also has
taken a balloon up 5000 feet to
test human reaction to high
altitude.
Capt. Kittinger will climb to
10000 feet. level of. fly at, top
speed, then put the plane into
q climbing angle Of about 70
degrees. push the stick ahead

would.

Col. Stapp first won fame In
1854. Then he travelled 632
miles an hour on a rocket sled
designed to see whether a hui
man could survive the jarring

says:
This may turn out to be as

Mr.. Abel's level for a mini

Mr.. Dale refused to cross the

To cross partners level you
need a good opening bid in
your own hand. with a near
solid suit of your own or a
reasonable At in partners suit.

The bidding:
North East South West
- IA All pass
Opening lead: Trey of clubs.
BY crossing his level" I
mean making a bid of two in a
suit which is higher in rank
than partners suit. If partner
has opened a minimum hand,
and has planned simply to re-
bid his original suit at the two
level, he is now forced to come
in at the three range.
This may be disaStrous-un-
less, of course. he has a really
fine hand. But in that case he
will rebid anyway-even though
you pass on the first round.
Take today's hand, for ex-
ample. Mr.. Dale's pass after
the spade overcall might ap-
pear somewhat sensational to
many players. But 1t was a
sound and correct call never
theless, and was based on the
following reasoning: If Mr..
Abel had a minimum or near
minimum opening he probably
planned to rebid two clubs or

Confederate Money
Eighth OF a SerieS)

Almost as soon as the War
Between the States began.
the quality of Confederate
currency began to deterio-
rate. The heavy demands
for paper money made it
necessary to set up volume
production using such facili-
ties and materials as were
available in the South. The
employment Of inexperi-
enced printing firms. the use
Of inferior processes, and
poor quality paper made
counterfeiting easy. AS re-
suit, a large quantity OF
counterfeit notes appeared
and easily passed as legiti-
mate.
Recognizing the serious
ness of the problem. the
Confederate Congress passed
legislation which provided
heavy fines, imprisonment, or
even death for convicted
oounterfeiters; rewards we're
provided for information. a
detective bureau was set up.
These efforts were not too
successful, however. Detec-
tive w. H. Gilbert wrote his
superior, Col. @, w. Lee:
