Toys with Military
Suggestion Returning
to Favor In Europe
LONDON, Miay 13.—(/P)—Medieval
knights in shining armor have tak
en the place of the little tin soldiers
which were popular here prior to
1914. After tlhe war, toy soldiers all
but disappeared from the shops, not
only in England, but in many coun
tries on the continent, particularly
Germany and Austria, and in their
stead came little farmer boys and
other leaded figures of agriculture.
Models of cows and horses, ducks
and chickens and farm houses to
scale have been displayed quite gen
erally. Hunting scenes, with the
huntsmen in bright colors on horses,
foxes, hedges, ditches and other sug
gestions of the country have also
been on display this spring on a
larger scale than heretofore, but
the demand of the public for the
knights suggestive of Jthe trouble
some days of the twelfth centure
indicate, say the toy dealers, that
war playthings are again coming in
to favor.

CONDITIONS OF NAVAL
AVIATORS TESTED BY
.. USE OF PSYCHOLOGY
SAN PEDRO, Cal., May 13.—(ff)—
Flight psychoanalysis, practiced to
prevent aerial accidents, rather than
mend broken bones or patch up luck
less pilots and observers after a
crash, if they survive, has increased
the efficiency of United States nav
al aviators to a large degree, sta
tistics aboard the U. S. S. Aroostook,
naval aircraft tender, indicate.
Medical officers aboard the tender
declare that 90 per cent of aerial
accidents during the World War were
due to physical and psychological de
fects of the flying personnel. Act
ing upon this precentage compiled
from fatalities, the medical staff of
the Aroostook has established a care
ful examination, scientific in every
detail, over the 150 pilots and ob
servers, who take-off in heavy bomb
ers or light scout planes from the
long, flat deck of the tender.
The flight surgeons observe the
fliers each time before a flight is
begun. “I can tell by talk with a
pilot in the morning,” declared Dr.
Robert G. Davis, senior flight sur
geon, “whether he is able to go aloft
that day. If his psychological con
dition seems shaky he has to stay
aboard.
“We will not permit a man to fly
who has domestic difficulties, or if
his family objects to his going aloft.
At the critical moment a pilot’s
mind may wander to what his wife
said at breakfast and he ends in a
fatal crash.”
When an ensign is assigned to the
Aroostook for flight duty, he first
must be in 100 per cent physical
condition; then he is subjected to a
most searching psychological examin
ation, Dr. Davis explained. Visual
balance, visual muscle balance and
tests of depth perception form the
basis of the applicant’s examina
tion trial before he is awarded wings.
•Then there is the low pressure
chamber to climax the examination.
The applicant is placed in the cham
ber and subjected to atmospheric
changes that he would encounter
above the clouds.
The air in the chamber is rarified
until the aspirant to wings is near
collapse. A chart then shows ex
actly what altitudes the man could
operate in most effectively.
Many men, Dr. Davis said, are ex
cellent fliers below 12,000 feet, while
others are competent at 20,000 feet.
Thus one pilot may be capable in a
bombing squadron while another may
be at his greatest efficiency in a
fighting or scouting squadron.
The fleet’s flight surgeon has ab
solute control over all pilots in the
aircraft squadrons. He declares them
off duty if he thinks their physi
cal condition demands. Constant
flying, the surgeons say, produces a
condition of staleness requiring fre
quent rests. Without these short
vacations breaks would occur in the
efficiency and men and machines
would be lost. -
The flyer’s quarters aboard the
Aroostook are kept well ventilated.
The food is carefully prepared and
served; even as the college athletes’
training table is spread, so it is with
the navy’s athletes of the air.
To sum up their ceaseless efforts
for the pilot’s welfare, the flight sur
geon says, “It is easier to build
planes than to keep men alive.”
Britons Growing Shorter
According to Scientist
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, May 13.—Europeans of
the present day have smaller brains
than formerly, according to Sir Ar
thur Keith, conservator of the Roy
al College of Surgeons’ Museum, and
England’s best known anthropologist.
In a lecture on man’s evolution at
the Royal Institution recently Sir
Arthur said that from the limited
lata at the disposal of scientists* it
nay be inferred that the people who
accupied western Europe at the close
>f the Ice Age stood distinctly above
heir successors of today in the mat
er of the size of their brains*
Referring to the height of man,
he speaker said it was evident that
he mean height of the modern Eng
ishman was five feet six inches, not
ive feet eight inches, as has been
supposed for many years.

Story of Pilgrim’s Progress
Found Translation Psalms
SEATTLE, May 13.—An Old Tes
tament Pilgrim’s Progress has been
found in four of the psalms by Dr.
Herbert H. Gowen, professor of Ori
ental languages and literature at the
University of Washington.
Dr. Gowen’s translation differs
from the standard one. He says he
has preserved as nearly as possible
the original meter of the Old Tes
tament songs and has diligently con
nected the four chants into a con
tinuous story of the pilgrim’s return
to the Promised Land. •
“The conception behind the four
psalms, which begin with the 120th
was the return of the Jewish exiles
from Babylonian capitivity,” Dr.
Gowen said. “The joy of the return
ing captives as they noticed the
hills of their native land and the
towers of Jerusalem is reflected iu
the songs.’’
