Latest Thlng~ in Training Aviators. TEACHES ART OF FLYING WHILE ON TERRA FIRMA Novel Machine Puts Novice Through Stunts With- out Peril. TESTS FITNESS FOR AVIATION Ruggles Orientator Will Enable Civil- ians as Well as Soldiers to Deter- mine Whether They Are Fit for Flying—Does for Beginning Aviator About What Walking Chair Does for an Infant Learning to Toddle. A machine that enables you to expe- rience all the physical sensations of flying and to test your fitness for avia- tion without once losing your hold upon the earth has just beon adopted by the war department for use in training its pilots, writes Frederic J. Haskin in Chlcago Daily News. It is probable that this device, known as the Ruggles orientator, will be a feature of all flying schools and will enable civillans as well as soldiers to determine without risking their lives whether they are fit for flying. The Ruggles machine does for the beginning aviator about what a walk- ing chair does for an infant learning to toddle—it enables him to go through the motions without: risking a tumble, One of these orientators was offi- clially demonstrated in Washington, D. C., the other day. The machine con sists of two sets of steel rings, the largest one of which i3 12 feet in diameter. One ring revolves in the | perpendicular plane. The rings are driven by small motors so that they revolve within each other. The “boat” in which the pupil sits is suspended from the inner ring and its move-! ments may be controlled by elther set of rings. The motors which control' the boat may be operated from with-| in by the pupil or from the outside by the instructor. ! “Dips, Glides and Volplanes.” The prospective pilot seats himself in the boat while the instructor sits, with his hand on the control, along-! side the machine. The instructor can put his pupil through all the motions of a machiné in the alr by operating the controls, which are connected to ' the machine by means of wire bat-| terles. After several demonstrations of looping -the loop, dipping, gilding and volplaning, the pupil is permit-; ted to operate the machine by the controls in the hoat. The test Is even more severe than that of actual flying. 1If the neophyte has anything the matter with his heart, nerves or stomach which will disqualify him for flying the orientator will bring the fact out at once. This new mechanical device is to be introduced into the course of training at the various flying fields and will completely revolutionize the wartime system of training aviators. The Rug- gles machine fills the gap between the ground school and actual flying, thus giving the cadet the “feel of the ship” on the ground before golng into the air. Army officers say that the num- ber of casualties among cadets in train- ing is certain to be greatly reduced by the use of the machine, as will the sub- sequent - destruction of equipment. The orientator will not teach a man actually to fly, but it will undoubtedly be of great assistance to the embryo fiyer by developing his senses for fly- ing. It will also make the task of his {nstructor easier and less dangerous. “Freezing” of the Controls. Records show that some of the best pllots in thé air service have been killed while instructing. In most cases the crashes were not due to defects in" the planes. The most plausible ‘heory in most cases is that the cadet "froze the controls,” as they say in the army—that Is, lost his head and falled to manipulate the controls ‘as his in- structor told him, thus sacrificing the lives of both of them. When a pros- pective flyer has gone through all the motions of controlling a few hun- dred times In the ground machine any tendency be may have to freeze the controls is pretty sure to have been eliminated. The old method of testing the adapt- ability of a man to flying by whirling him in a revolving chair ten or more times is entirely obviated by this scientific method of finding out whether or not a man is fitted to be- come a pilot, Owing to the urgent demand for pi- lots during the war it was then al most impossible to give much atten- tion to the improvement of the method of training aviators. But now that peace has come the aeronautic divi- sion of the war department is concen- trating on the development of better methods In this.all important mili- tary branch. The adoption of the Rug- gles machine is the first step in that direction. “The training of the aviator is in ite infancy,” declared Maj. F. J. Martel, one of the enthusiastic supporters of the new method and a former flyer in the British royal air force. “We have not been training enough pilots to evolve a scientifically correct way of putting a man in the alr and know- ing that he will conduct himself as he should under all emergencies. What pilots we have trained—more than 8,000—were trained durlng an urgent demand and our perspective of train- ing was kept out of focus. There has heen practically no concentration on the problem and what practical sys- tems were evolved were the work of instructors on the field, whose one concern vas the turning out of pilots in numbers. Can’t Turn "Em Loose in Air. “Now that the demand for the pilots has bheen reduced to the minimum, it is time to survey the subject of train- ing with the idea of launching a sys- tem by which an aviator may be train- ed, not only safely from a prac- tical standpoint, but scientifically as well. The time has passed when we can allow a cadet to take a few hours’ ground instructions, a few hours’ dual instruction, and then turn him loose in the air, “The pupil under the old system at no time during his ground school in- struction actually used airplane con- trols, nor did he experience the effect flying had on his natural upright po- sition. Experience is not transferable. A pupll could be told a thousand times how to handle the controls in a plane, and yet be completely confused the minute he was seated in one and act- ually controlling. The pupil is taken from the ground school and suddenly placed in an airplane and asked to fly. He is asked to apply himself in a most attentive manner at a time when his mind and senses are practi- cally paralyzed with apprehension and the mental effort to adjust himself to an absolutely -foreign environment. “Nature did not intend that a man should fly, nor that man in his, pres- ent development should have to think and act with perfect co-ordination when suddenly suspended head down. Tt takes time to learn perfect self- control under extraordinary conditions, and a cadet cannot be expected to be- come adjusted to these things.on his first ‘hop,’ if he has never had the sensations before going up. This is where the Ruggles orientator helps the pupil and prepares him for his ‘stunt- ing’ work. One hour ‘stunting’ in the orientator gives the pupil as much practice as he would probably get in 20 hours’ flying. This is a great sav- ing of time and a tremendous saving of equipment. This new device seems to be the logical progressive step from theory to actual flying.” Found Permanent Quarters. Stanley Hurst and Stanley Hunter appropriated the office of the Brand Stove and Range company at Milwau- kee for sleeping purposes. When they left so did $25 worth of brass. The court secured permanent quarters for the two, i NEW QUEEN AT BELTSVILLE Calamity Wayne Pauline 11 Completee Year Test, Producing Eleven Tons of Milk. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) ¢ A new queen reigns in the herd of Holstelns on the government experl- ment farm at Beltsville, Md.. She is as unassuming and peace loving as any of her subjects, although she bears the name Calamity Wayne Pauline II, and has just completed a test in which she produced in a year more than 11 tons of milk. In 385 days she pro- duced 22,547.8 pounds of milk which averaged 3.805 per cent butter fat, the ‘total fat being 855.4 pounds. This animal was selected By dairy specialists of the United States de- partment of agriculture from a Michi- gan herd in July, 1917. She was brought to the Beltsville farm, where she produced a heifer calf, and was started on her test December 7, 1917, at the age of eight years. The test was run through the coldest' winter that section had experienced in 40 Calamity Wayne Pauline 11. years, and a summer that was extreme- ly hot. The test for advanced regis- try was conducted under the rules of the Holstein-Friesian assoctation, During the year the animal was handled by two different herdsmen. A son of Calamity Wayne Pauline IT has been placed at one of the govern- ment substations, and one of her’ half- sisters is making a fine record ‘at the Michigan Agricultural college. * (jnlam- ity's 805-day record was 19,256.6 pounds of milk, averaging 3.7 per cent butter fat, making a total of 71813 pounds of fat. IS All the dalry cattle on the Beltsville farm are used for experimental pur- poses, and will be gitven at least two advanced registry tests to determine their capacity for production. ' DRIVING THEM OUT Returned Soldiers Have Constituted Themselves Into Courts. Returned soldiers in the Lemmon, S, D., territory have constituted them- selves judges, jurors and executioners In all cases in which the United States army or the United States is slgndered, and will drive from the community all men guilty of ‘such slanders. . As a starter in their campaign to rid the country of these men they already have driven one undesirable from Lem- mon. The soldiers waited on the indi- vidual, who is a Russian, and gave him 30 minutes to leave town, threatening that if- he was found in town.at the expiration of the half hour period he would be treated to the roughest han- dling he ever received. It is announced that the soldliers are about to take action in another case, it being intimated that this is a much more flagrant case and that accord- ingly the treatment will be much more severe. Others are expected to be given the “move-along” order, the intention be- ing to purge the community and vicini- ty of all persons of known pro-German and anti-American sentiments. Cool heads among the soldiers are caution- ing them to be careful and not do a® injustice to any person. ’ IMPROVEMENT BEING MADE.
