Jolly old Kris Kringle punched a man on the jaw and knocked some teeth: out.

The new “he a veloped by Dr. E of the General de- laboratories N. Y., promises to many a pilot’s life as soon as{ put in use in the dangerous airmail courses over the Pennsyl- ia mountains and the Rock { With the radio beacon, radio-phone | and numerous protective devices in their planes pilots now are able to fly safely through fog and storm, except for one thing. No one yet has been able to devise an altimeter—which shows a pilot his altitude above the ground under all conditions. Airmail pilots are hopeful that Dr. Alexanderson’s new device will meet this need. “The present altimeters we are using are nothing but barometers, so adjusted as to show us our al- titude above the point at which we take off,” ac jing to Wesley L. Smith, one of the original airmail pilots. Smith is now superintendent. of the eastern division of National air Transport. If Weather Unchanged “They are all right,” Smith con- tinued, “if the weather conditions do! not change during the progress of a flight. But if there is a change the altimeter isn’t much good. They simply measure altitude by record- ing changes in baromteric pressures. “Theoretically, when air pressure lessens altitude has been increased. But practically, this may also mean the plane has plunged into an areca of lower pressure. “Several of our pilots have been dashed to their deaths against mountain sides because of this, when they thought they were flying at safe altitudes. “One of them was Charles H, Ames. He was killed in 1925 when his plane crashed against a moun- tainside near Bellenfonte, Pa. Ames had run into a low pressure area as he flew west from New York. His altimeter apparently showed he was flying at a safe altitude, because it was adjusted for weather conditions when he left New York. “William C. Hopson, another fine pilot, apparently was killed in the same way when his plane ripped into Ice, Feared as Foe But there’ are other dangers which instruments and other modern dev- ices have thus far failed to combat. One of them is ice, the most feared foe of airmen. From late fall until spring ice clouds are an ever present source of danger. Sometimes pilots can plow through them up into clear air and fly over them. But at other times their motors are unable to surmount the ice clouds. Then the pilots are forced to find air strata where ice does not form or else turn back defeated. Sometimes the ice loads become so heavy they force | k planes down. One pilot, Jack Milat- zo, of Chicago, was killed in that way two years ago. On one occasion Smith fought for He wanted to twine his little fingers in the snowy mane and pull. He did.

Jungman DEVELOPED DURING WAR) Removal of Decayed Teeth and Rinsing After Meals Among ' Chief Preventive Means | | Seventy cases of “trench mouth” | have been reported to the United | States Public Health Service for North Dakota during 1928, according | to Dr. J. D. Jungman, director of | the bureau of communicable diseases in the state health department. | Trench mouth is a communicable and infectious disease that causes the mucous membrane of the gums, | cheeks, tongue and tonsils to become | inflamed with ulcerated areas ap- peu in the mouth and throat, Dr. ungman said. Although the disease was discov- | ered in 1897, it became known as | trench mouth during the World war and was more common at that time than was typhoid or malaria during the Spanish-American war, the doc- tor said. Since the war it has spread to this country. | In describing the symptoms, causes si care of the disease Dr. Jungman | said: “A grayish membrane is formed | in the mouth and throat at the site | of the ulcerated area. When this | grayish membrane is removed, there | is much bleeding. ‘The teeth be-| come loose and are sore. In severe cases the patient has a temperature, swelling of the glands, a peculiar} unpleasant swe¢tish odor of the was no trouble at all to get into New York.” Still another danger which con- fronts pilots and sometimes takes their lives comes when they find themselves at the end of their run or with their gas supply low and forced to come down in weathe: so thick they are unable to find a safe landing field. Cost Pilot's Life “That cost the life of Pilot Law- rence H. Garrison recently near Warren, Q.,” Smith explained. “He had been forced down in a field. He failed to see a ditch, his plane rolled into it, and turned over. Garrison was knocked out but not otherwise injured. But a stump of brush ripped open the gas tanks, spurting gas over the wreck and it burned up. Inability to sce clearly an emer- gency landing field during a storm also cost the life of Pilot Edwin Bassett, his wife and a passenger, near Chicago recently. Foreed down, Bassett made a perfect land- ing. But his plane rolled into two trees his eyes had missed. One of them wrecked the plane and killed three. NEXT: Making the airmail safer.
