RF YOU FLY TO IRELAND, COME J HOMEQNBOAT Westbound Plane’s Best Chances l\lo Better Than East Craft’s Worst. White thr nation is acclaiming the German-Irish trio of aviators who made the first west-bound airplane passage across the Atlantic, this careful and interesting summary of the hazards of spanning the ocean is extremely timely. Carroll who has been called America's leading test pilot, writes understandable articles on the technical points in aviation exclusively for The Times and Science Service. By THOMAS CARROLL Chief Test l'ilot, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Now that t.ne Atlantic has been spanned by air in both directions it piay appear to those who think that luck plays any great part in such undertakings that fortune has smiled more consistently on the east-bound. So it is more remarkable to note some figures from the United States Navy hydrographic charts of the air conditions over the North Atlantic ocean. The adversity of the winds is common knowledge but is too frequently considered by the landsman as just a little wind more or less. But see what a difference just this wind condition can make. Take a course between a point near New York and one in Ireland which is just 3,000 miles long and use an airplane that cruises at a speed of just one hundred miles an. hour. Favor Eastbound Flier If a flat calm maintains and two pilots start in opposite directions at the same time and they are both equally capable of maintaining their course and have engines and instruments that never quit, it is easy to see that they will reach their destinations simultaneously in just thirty hours. The eastbound flier’s most optimistic prospect is for an average following wind of twenty-eight miles an hour and that it may maintain for 24 per cent of the time in any 100 hour period. It therefore is possible to expect that his average speed will be increased to 128 miles an hour and even possible that it may maintain for the whole trip. That would bring him to his destination in twenty-three and a half hours. The worst that the eastbound flier may expect is an unfavorable wind averaging eleven miles an hour. If maintained the whole trip, this would only decrease his speed to eighty-nine miles an hour and he still would arrive in thirty-three and one-half hours. But he need only expect that these adverse conditions will continue for but five percent of the time. New regard the poor westbound pilot. Fog Peril Is Factor You find that the best he can expect is to increase his speed to 111 miles an hour and reach his destination in twenty-seven hours. He hardly can expect that assistance for more than 5 per cent of the time. His worst speed may be reduced to seventy-two miles an hour for at least one quarter of the trip. If unfavorable conditions continue for the whole trip, which is more than a possibility, he will not arrive at his destination until forty-one and two-thirds hours have elapsed. While his best expectations are only five hours better than his eastbound competitor’s worst, his own worst conditions will require him to be in the air eighteen hours longer than the eastbound plane or very nearly twice as long. And there is the fog hazard to be negotiated. Os course with fog on the course and it can be expected from one-third to one-half of the time this month, both east and yyestbound will encounter it. But the eastbound plane can maintain land contact through most of it and expect to be out of in a couple of hours after leaving land. The worst of the fog is near the coast of Novia Scotia and Newfoundland. Come Home on Boat They then may expect to approach the Irish coast in clear weather, for log is expected only JO per cent of the time there. The unfortunate westbound plane must approach a fog bank 200 or 800 miles off the coast of America Into which he must fly and grope for his destination for twelve or more hours. Remember that landmarks must be good to be recognized in fog at 100 miles an hour. If you ever fly to Ireland it is to be recommended that you come home on a boat. ). u FACULTY MARCH ON FOUNDATION DAY Academic Procession Wednesday Morning Will Open Program. pn Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., May I.

TEST BLIND GENIUS Scientists to Examine Rare Powers of Helen Keller. WASHINGTON, May I.—Helen Keller, deaf and blind, who was shown the world how physical handicaps can be Surmounted, will be the center of a unique demonstration before the American Neurological Association here next week. Miss Keller’s remarkable sensory capacity measured by specially designed recording instruments will be compared at a session of the American Neurological Society, with that of the average normal adult. Her highly developed sense of touch on which she depends to tell her of the surroundings that normal people perceive through ears and eyes has been investigated with respect to vibration, temperature, pressure and compression. Motive sense, posture sense, as well as taste and smell have also been studied. The possibility of special brain development in the rare cases of this type has been suggested by Dr. Frederick Tilney, professor of neurology at. Columbia University who has been engaged in making the scientific observations on Miss Keller’s extraordinary abilities.

Old Folks Say Doctor Caldwell was Right

The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical College in 1875, nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice, known to druggists and public since 1892, as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Then, the treatment of constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions that result from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Per In, which is a combination of senna ..nd other mild laxative herbs, with pepsin. The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you, and the better for the general health of all. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs? A bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will last a family several months, and all can use it. It is good for the baby because pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotics. In the proper doses, given in the directions, it is equally effective at all ages. Elderly
