The Best Spring Medicine
It is as easy to prove that Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best 6pring medi
cine as it is to say it.
Spring Ailments are blood ailments that is, they arise from ah impure
impoverished, devitalized condition of the blood; and Hood's Sarsaparilla
purifies, enriches and revitalizes the blood as no other medicine does.
It is the most effective of all blood medicines.
There is Solid Foundation for this claim, in the more than 40,000 testi
monials of radical and permanent cures by this medicine, received in two
years, this record being unparalleled in medical history.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Cures all spring humors, all eruptions, clears the complexion, creates an
appetite, aids the digestion, relieves that tired feeling, gives vigor and vim.

RIGID LAWS TO GOVERN AERONAUTS.
A. Leo Stevens, Instructor of U. S.
Army Balloon Corps, Advocates
Government License and
Examinations.
Every day I am firmly convinced that
there should be government regulation
on ballooning. I have held this theory
for some time, but the experience of a
certain California aeronaut a few days
ago in the Sierra Madre mountains has
brought the need home to me more
strongly than ever. 1 he government
regulations should consist of licenses
for balloon pilots, and laws within
which the pilots should have to confine
themselves.
While I do not wish to reflect on this
aeronaut, I do wish to point out that
ha is only a case in point. Some peo
ple can never become successful balloon
men any more than all men can become
successes as arti.-ts or deep sea divers.
It's a part of a man's makeup. There
are some men who can make 20 ascen
sions and still be no better equipped as
pilots than if they were going up for
the Becond time. A person who is not
skilled in aeronautics, knowing that
great many reckless people to have
the experience of seeing the earth slip
out from under them. Here is where
the trouble comes. I will not say that
it is not right for a man to go up ia a
balloon by himself. I think that is

this man has made say nine ascensions
says, "Oh, I'll willingly go." If we
had government regulation, where
men skilled in aircraft should make the
examinations as to whether or not the
applicant was fitted to be a pilot, this
obvious danger would be dispensed
with.
The popular idea is that all one has
to do to make an ascension is to jump
into the balloon car, cut loose and when
one is ready to ascend throw overboard
the sand ballast. As a matter of fact
that much is not even the alphabet of
air riding. .
When I heard that this experimenter
was to make the trip with that number
of passengers and with so small an
amount of ballast in my old "Ameri
ca," I predicted failure. He should
be thankful that the escape was so suc
cessful. There are some requirements
and some theories controlling the as
cent and descent of balloons just as
fixed as those that govern temperature
or that of gravitation. A certain sized
air ship, with so many cubic feet of
gas naturally can carry only so many
passengers exclusive of its ballast.
There is a nicety in determining just
how many it can carry successfully.
To be specific, a balloon with 80,000
cubic feet of gas should start out with
35 bags of ballast and five passengers.
Equipped in that manner the pilot need
fear no storm, and have no worry. He
is just as safe as if he were sitting at
his own fireside. When a storm comes,
by throwing overboard some ballast he
can go above it. When the storm is
over, by letting out a little gas through
the escape valves he can descend safely
to the earth. When a balloon of this
size, that is 80,000 cubic feet, has
thrown over all its ballast for one rea
son or another, except five bags, it
should drop to earth at once- To do
otherwise is to run a dangerous risk.
A law t making this necesary would be
a great boon to the art anJ practice of
ballooning. A bag carrying between
35,000 a::d 40,000 cubic feet of gas
and two persons besides the pilot
should drop to earth when the pilot has
expended all the ballast save three
bags. If he docs not do so he is risk
ing lives that he should not be allowed
to jeopardize. '
I am in favor of government regula
tion. At the present time licenses can
be granted to pilots in this country by
the Aero club of America. There are
now 24 men holding these licenses. An
applicant must make 10 successful as
censions before he is granted the li
cense. These directions have to be
made before he is granted the license,
under the direction of other licensed
pilots, or after the applicant has made
four or five so that he can manage a
balloon, he must keep data of his trips.
This information has to be exact, and
be filed away. For instance, when the
applicant drops back to earth, say on a
man's farm, he has to give the man's
name and where he lives, and who
hauled him back to town. This is so
that at any future time the authorities
may satisfy themselves that the trip
was reiilly made and that it was a suc
cessful one in every way.
France has a very creditable method
of licensing its balloon men. The li
censes are not governmental, though.
Each pilot, who is going to make an
ascent, carries in his pocket a little
book with his number and his photo-
' graph in it. If any one questions his
identity or his ability as a navigator
he simply shows the book with his
photo behind the isenglass.
I am in favor of government licens
ing and government regulations, rather
than that of state jurisdiction. In this
way the laws would be uniform, and
all the air sailers of something near
equal ability. An applicant would not
have to go to Washington to make an
ascent by any means. He may make
the trip at any place under the guid
ance of an accredited pilot.

more popular. It is now more than a

more a matter of ethics. A person
may walk on a railroad where there is
a third rail. He does it knowing that
he is taking his life in his hands, but
when he persuades other people to go
along with him, he risks their lives
without enough experience to get them
out of danger should anything happen
When five people go up in a balloon in
addition to the pilot, the unskilled
pilot is risking five lives in addition to
his own.
Throwing overboard ballast is a sci
ence.. Ballast is to a balloon what
steam is to an engine. And just as
steam once gone can never be recover
ed, just so ballast thrown overboard is
lost. One man can get along, make a
whole trip without losing more than
five bags of ballast while another
spends twenty. The latter spends all
his time in traveling up and down,
making saw teeth, while the other sails
along in a comparatively straight line.
The pilot who is out with the beginner
makes careful notes and gives a full
report to the members of the Aero
club. He takes into consideration just
how much fluctuating the learner does.
He assists the new man, but watches
him carefully to find out how much grip
he has on the science.
The dilettante in search of new sen
sation is as dangerous as an automobil
ist with the speed mania. I hesitate
to make a trip with a beginner who
says the danger is nothing, with the
man who says "Oh, I'm not afraid.
I've got the nerve." As a matter of
fact when good sense is used, there is
no more danger than there is in an au
tomobile trip. Uut there is much po
tential danger. I am willing to make
the trip with a beginner who says :
"Now I'm new at this, and want you
to take the rudder. I don't know it
all."
Another thing, balloons and all air
crafts will soon be equipped with wire
less telephone. An air craft in dis
tress can send a C. Q. D. message to
earth just like a vessel at sea. It
should be compulsory that equipment
for communications with the earth or
airships be installed. A balloon in
trouble would simply telephone its lo
cation or general direction and rescue
balloons or automobiles could be sent
to the rescue.
The U. S. army corps with which I
have been connected has successfully
experimented with a DeForest instru
ment, weighing less than 100 pounds.
However, there is a new sparkless and
wireless telephone of the radio variety
which weighs only 10 pounds and which
any balloonist can safely carry. The
radio sparklss attachment does away
with the danger of setting the gas bag
on fire. The weight of the telephone
is so small that when the balloon lands
out in the country the operator can put
it under his arm and take it with him.
An old fashioned wireless telegraph is
impractical for the reason that it makes
a spark that may ignite the gas bag.
Ballooning has advanced so far now
that it is no longer experimental, but
is a science. The throwing out of bal
last is a science. It takes a long time
to learn to handle a balloon properly.

should be made reasonably hard to ob
tain. And further, the laws regulat
ing the ballooning should be severe.
Ballooning is a matter of public con
cern, and when licenses are first issued
I hope that they will not be given eo
promiscuously as licenses were given
at first to auto drivers.
Letting an outsider take up a bal
loon is exactly like running a railroad
engine. A railroad train is half way
between stations when its engineer
dies. The train is stopped. Some
body asks, "Can anybody here run an
engine?" A young man steps up and
says: "Yes, I can." He takes the
engine and may draw the train ten
miles without an accident and he may
get it safely into the station. But is
he a worthy engineer? No. On the
following day this same young man
might wreck the train before he got
out of the switch yards.
