AVIATORS MUST BE bit
ALMOST PERFECT th<
oiv
The reason there are many vacan- ed
cies in the aviation section is that ly
only a small percentage of those who ou
apply can pass the physical test, fir
Here's what one must do after filling by
out a series of application forms. foi
"Have you ever been seasick?" is ?
the first question popped. Aviators mt
must be immune to mal de mer. Tests Be
for near-sightedness and far-sighted- to
ness, color perception graded to finest blc
tones and vision follow. Vision must
be normal. Heart, lungs and blood
pressure must be perfect. Feet must
be well shaped and the nervous system
normal. Chest expansion must ^
be three or more inches inflated. . 1
Equilibry tests are next. The appli- lts
cant shuts his eyes and balances him- wa
self on his toes with heels and toes eri
together. It sounds simple?but try
it. Then with eyes still shut he bal- , a

up until the heel touches the knee- an
cap. Eyes are then examined more j0'
minutely by the use of belladonna and ,*a
the iris is "x-rayed" to make doubly
sure there is no infection. Large ton- ca
sils and adenoids must be removed.
Teeth must be good and sound. Nasal
passages must be clear. Hearing must
be perfect. The tick of a watch must
be heard at five feet. Across a 25- ?a
foot space the applicant must differ- gT0
entiate between "glass" and "grass" ^a
and "brass" spoken in a barely audi- *
ble whisper.
Equilibrium, the seventh sense, an
must be developed. The other ^
senses must be perfect for one im- *
paired sense injures the "balance
sheet." The applicant is seated in
a revolving chair much the same as a
barber's or dentist's chair. He is ni(
whirled ten times in each direction as eri
fast as the chair will revolve with m<
eyes shut. Suddenly stopped he is to ei?
look in the opposite direction from
which he has bee? whirled. The reg- j
ular jumping of the eyeball as the
brain seeks to regain its equilibrium
shows how quickly the applicant is tt*
finding his balance.

and with head dropped at an angle
of 45 degrees with the torso. He is .
told to sit straight when * suddenly xT'

in f?ont of him. If normal he will Pa
throw his neight far to the opposite J1?'
si<fe from which he has been whirled.
He is then stood on his feet and m'
with eyes closed is told to walk in a ?
straight line to the opposite side of tw

Many applicants are compelled to do
have minor operations before they are fu
eligible. Examining officers report m<
that if possible to pass by an opera- or
tion the applicants in every instance ;ftf

THE LIBERTY LOAN CYCLE.
Through the sale of Liberty Loan
nds the United States is borrowing
pe sums of money from its citizens,
business men, farmers, bankers,
ipe earners, merchants, manufacturi.
The povernment collects this
>ney and disburses it in two ways,
rt it expends itself and part it
ins our allies. The United States
d these other povernments spend it
r American products and American
jor una it goes DacK airectiy into
b hands of the people, the Amerin
business man, farmer, banker,
ige earner, merchant and manufacrer.
This is the cycle. John Smith the
rmer and Thomas Brown the wage
rner each has purchased a Liberty
an Bond paying down the initial
yment of 2 per cent. On June 28th
ey made the 18 per cent payment,
positing the amount in their banks
d sending checks to the Federal Rerve
Bank of their district. The
:deral Reserve Bank collects the
eck and redeposits the money with
e local banks. Later the Treasury
spartment draws against it and the
)ney is again lodged with the Fedal
Reserve Bank. It is almost imjdiately
withdrawn from the Fedal
Reserve Bank either by the Unit
States or by some foreign govern?nt
engnged in war with Germany
which the United States has adnced
money and is paid out for
nerican products or labor. Some of
is spent for farm products and raw
iterial, and some of it for manufacred
products, thus going back into
e hands of American citizens.
Therefore the money paid in by
e above mentioned John Smith and
lomas Brown on June 28th in part
yment of their Liberty lean Bonds
ly have gotten into their hands in
ne to make up part of their paysnts
made July 30th.
