PLYING AND FEAR
Tests Imposed on Pilots by the R.A,F. •
Medical Board.
It might be thought that any young
man who was a good sportsman, and
• who had no idea what fear was, could
be, a pilot; but this is not the case.
One of the most remarkable things
• the Air Force doctors have discover-
, ed is that the best pilots are those
who know what fear is, though they
; may not show it.
: Fear effects the blood pressure and
circulation, two most important things
in a pilot, who must have a first-clase
circulation to withstand the sudden
• changes of temperature and to be
I able to breathe at the great heights
to which his aeroplane rises.
The prospective pilot must be an
extremely rapid thinker, and must be
able to du the right thing almoat
in a flash, as it were.
The It.A.F. medical board has a
• speeial test to find out whether 34 man
training for a pilot is suitable or not.
He has in front of him an eleett•ie
en
key d an electric lamp. The cleave
examining him switches on the light,
and the flying tandidate must press
the key in front of hini as soon as
he sees the light. A special appar-
atus rimed:nee, to a thousandth of a
second the interval between the light-
ing of the lamp and the pressing uf
the key, showing bow fast the pvoe-
pective Call think and act.

THE BRITIF.11 SHORES
Ileve Played a Big Part in Winning
the War—A. Iterord of Splendid
Patriotism.
"The Grand Fleet could not exist
without th.o. truwlers," revently de-
classed Lord Jellicoe epeaking at llull.
-Certainly Britain could not hems
existed without the Grand Fleet, so it
follows that the nation was named and
the War Won by the trewhe 1 sava a

Splendid Patriotism. 7
Take the record of the mom It 1,,
jest as wonderful: Defer° the wet,
1,100,000 miners worked our coanpite.
; elf these 400,000 jollied up, • or
Per tent. This is a great record, ye,.
' does not equal that of the liehermen.
, In 1913, 37,420 men were empluysee
m fishing in England and 1,1 ams.
these almost exactly half joined th• e
Navy or Reserve, while ef the rest all
of military age were enrolled in a
, special Navy iteeerve, and a cement
number called up monthly.
Scotland has done equally well.
The casualties among fishurroon
have been very heavy indeed. They
; have averaged 2,7a0 a year since Aug-
ust, 1914. As Mr. Civics said recent.
ly, in the annals of war nothing will
• he found finer than this record.
The wonderful thing is the way in
which the remnant of the fishing fleet
i has carried oil. Even in 1017, in
; meet respects outs worst year at eea,
no less than 400,000 tons of fish were
landed in British ports. This is about
• one-third of the Average taken in the
live years preceding the war. Bel-
gians helped in the work, and in lel 7
the Belgian trawlers exiled from
Ostend caught 80,000 tons of fish,
Government helped by fitting a num-
her of old-fashioned sailing -craft with
motore. This simple change enables
• a convereed boat to just about treble
• her former catch
• Witittn ),o to b s Caught.
Dater days are dawning, At the
Board of Fisheries all is bustle. Such
fishermen as can be spared from the
}teatime task of mine -trawling are he -
jag sen,,t. back to their old calling with
itil sitoed.-
What is most encouraging for the
future is tho fact that the North5oa
has had the rest which it. has long
needed, The Belgian coasts and the
! Dogger Bank are swarming with fiat
fish of a size not seen for a generation.
, pest. Fish before the war brought
• fishermen only ono nd one-third of a
