THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1933 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SIXTH SENSE IS POSSIBLE SAYS FLYING WOMAN Rome (LP) "There la no reason e'hy m-e should not develop a sixth sense," said Amelia Earhart, the American queen of aviation, who holds three trans-Atlantic records, Just after she landed In Rome. "At present, up In the air In clouds and fog, we seem to be blind and unable to orientate our selves, but the birds can, and there Is no reason why human beings should not develop that sense of fa miliarity which the birds have," she continued. "There are today 17,000 pilots In the United States and, as time goes on, that number will be Increased to millions, and by the time, when we are accustomed to the air as an organism, we can ex pect the beginning of the develop ment of the sixth sense. "We have only to conduct the old experiment of being blind-folded and whirled on a swlveled stool and then reversed with a different speed to realize that we Invariably make the wrong answer if we are asked In which direction we are going. This shows how poor we are at orienta tion if we have no eyes on the simple distinction of telling the di rection in which we are going. You can then Imagine what the aviator's task is way up at 10,000 feet sur rounded by clouds and fog. Only his Instruments can save him. "We are not accustomed as hu man beings to live in the air. We have been from the very beginning of the world living organisms who have been attached to the earth. Now that we have begun to fly, we will learn to know the air, and In time know how to live In the air." Her latest trans-atlantlc flight Is not going to be her last as she al ready has an Idea of trying an east to west crossing. There Is to be no let-up in her flying activities, and. If she is not carrying her husband, George Palmer Putnam, the pub lisher, across the continent from New York to San Francisco, she will probably be planning some oth er stunt. "Of course," she confessed. "I know my flight was a perfectly use less affair except for my own satis faction. I wanted to do it and now I am satisfied, at least for the time being." Then she smiled and continued: "We do not know where avia tion will take us. You may find us everywhere. Indeed, with the im provement of the present equipment there is no reason why we should NEW AIRSHIP NEARS COMPLETION If.

The Italian government had plac ed at the disposal of the American avlatrlx a brand new twelve -passenger trl -motored Breda plane. When she first got Into It she began at once to look over the gadgets and tricks which the constructors had put into It and which had made It different from any other plane she had ever seen. She Inquired of the pilots who were assigned her ail about the levers and clocks In the pilot's cockpit. Miss Earhart thought the idea of occasional meetings of trans-At lantic flyers was a great thing for long-distance aviation. She said that the Italians ought to be con gratulated for starting these meet ings and that the continuation of them was bound to be a great ad vantage, not alone to the pilots but to constructors and designers. "Of course," she added. "I think now that I know a little more about trans-Atlantic flying than I knew before I made these flights. I feel now as if I knew how to cross the ocean. Who knows but what I may acquire the habit?" With that she gave a little ges ture and a smile, as If further trans-Atlantic flights were going to be a kind of annual vacation for her. Bt.

Elevation of gum chewing to such comparative heights may seem out of line with past teachings of eti quette but there was a time when tomatoes were regarded as poison ous, pepper was a dessert, and spin ach was less highly valued than dandelion greens. Chewing gum owes Its rise In intellectual esteem to the fact that it was the Indirect cause of one of the most valuable archaeological dis coveries In recent months, deep In the Jungles of Guatemala.

HERE'S something to think about if you want the biggest money's worth of comfort, safety and trouble-free mileage when you buy tires. You don't have to buy low quality tires to get low price. You don't have to take second-choice tires to save money because FIRST-CHOICE costs no more. Here are prices that prove it. Read them and remember, they buy real Good years. Big, stout, husky, tough Supertwist balloons with the name Goodyear Speedway on the sidewall, and Goodyear materials through and through. For 17 years, motorists have voted Good year Tires the best on the market because they have bought more Goodyear Tires than any other kind. Because Goodyear makes millions more tires than any other rubber manufacturer, it stands to reason Goodyear can build them better and better. Take another look at the prices here, and ask yourself: Why buy any second-choice tire when FIRST-CHOICE costs no more!
