cow fighting i how fast and how far can humans fly is popular sport in switzerland queen of alps crowned annually in combats ar ranged by herdsmen each nation has its sport spain has its bullfishts china its cricket duels haytl it cockfights likewise ow fights are favoriio sport among the peasants of the alpine cantons t switzerland says the pathfind er our future airplane speeds will be almost unlimited- but man must train his body and his senses to withstand the strain says noted army aviator by lieutenant lester j maitland n the xew york heraldtribune man will be able to fly great dis tances at tremendous altitudes and with unheardof speed as soon as ha can train bis body bis nerves and his eyes to take advantage of the ma chinery engineering genius will put at his disposal this is my answer to the three ques a long series of elimination fights tions ct tow fast how lghhow ore held to determine which cow soon that are continually being ask- ohall be the champion of each can- ed uv ever person remotely interest- ton and finally to decide which one f ig aviation hall became queen o the alps for the season only the canton champions are permitted to partici pate in the final bouts the center of this interesting sport js the canton of valis high in the alps in southern switzerland this region was the original home of swiss cheese and its inhabitants de pend largely on their dairy industry for a livelihood just as soon as the snow has melt ed on the slopes of the mountain in tho spring tho herds rf cows are re- iurneil to their pastures here and there among tho mountains are tiny pasture villages the cottages are opened when tho cowherds arrive with their cows and provide shelter until fall during the winter the huts are covered with snow candidate for the cow fighting championship are selected from the herds nt before they are started lor their summer pastures the owner of a herd usually selects sev eral likely cows for this purpose sunday is the favorite day for the bouts when the weather is nice hundreds and even thousands of peo ple from the towns go out to see these swiss cows contend tor the proud title queen of the alps it is libra than just a fight between i few cows the people make a gala occasion ot it they bring their lunch with them mid gathei on the hilltops for a glorious picnic as the cows battle in the forum the spectators cheer wildly of course there is some betting but generally on a small scale only tho swiss farmers insist that the cows are sensitive animals and take considerable pride ir winning the laurels ot the day like rnce horses they seem to understand the signi ficance of the occasion the cows selected for the contests have large horns and frequently the clash be tween two good fighters is terrific as a rule a bout does not last more than fifteen or twenty minutes in that time one of the other of the con testants routs its opponent there is a real purpose behind this odd eport the duke of wellington is credited with having said that the battle ot waterloo was won on the football field at oxford he spoke figuratively of course and meant that the superior training of the bnglish in sports enabled the british nrmy to defeat the french the swiss fanners long ago learned that certain cows were braver and strong er than others and took pride in pro tecting the herd from dogs or other ouenile the cow fights were organized to train cows for this purpose a de feated cow is said to feel humiliat ed but the victor is a real queen she carries her head high and there after is always ready to protect her herd on al occasions she be comes the mistress of the herd this lessens the burdens of the cow herds who finds it easy to control the rest of the herd by controlling the leader prague fair

can be trained along these lines still re mains to be seen in the light of the achievements of our presentday fly ers i would say that the day is not far off many records have been broken in recent year plants have climbed dis tances into the sky hitherto believed impossible over 40000 feet above the earth manmade machines piloted by human eagles have soared and come down safely a plane piloted by squadron leader orlebar of the royal air force has rushed through tho air at a speed of more than 330 mlits an hour and the feat of remaining in the air for weeks at a time has passed into the realm of the usual and to the public asking just how such records affect commercial avia tion my answer is the whole future of commercial flying is bound up in these experiments the machinery that has so lightened the work of the farmer was achieved through experimentation the auto mobiles that now travel at so swift a pace over our roads came from the first uncertain gasoline buggy after years of hard gruelling tests just so the airplane of the future will emerge from its present adoles cent stage into a thing of now un dreamed perfection nothing is impossible in connection with irplanes twentyfive years ago the thought of man flying in hcavier- thana craft was regarded as ridicu lous and yet iook what man has ac complished he has not only learned to keep him self aloft but has been able to fly oceans conquer all sorts of hazards and even carry on successful warfare from the clouds what then can we not accomplish in the same amount of time in the fuj ture we can only judge the possibility of future accomplishments in the light of past ones aud taking the last twenty- live years of progress as a standard tho vista that opens out before stu dents of aviation is practically un limited in its scope of possibilities and probabilities think of arising at n fairly early hour in mew york having breakfast land due to the difference in time ar riving on the west coast in time to

ordinary person that air lanes may be found over which the planes of the future will fly at light ning speed it is already known that in these up per regions there are winds that blow at hundreds of miles an hour it re quires no great stretch of the imagina tion to realize the desirability of a fast planes taking advantage of a wind blowing 300 miles an hour we know from lieutenant orlebars record that planes can be flown at more than 300 miles an hour we also know that there are swift trade winds in the upper regions knowing these two things the next step is to com bine the two and thus increase the speed of our flying these upper regions lure every flyer on they hold mysteries and at the sj time they hold the greatest pos sibilities here again the flyers physical abil ity is taxed

crossing and recross- ing each others paths too great speed endangers not only the life of the speeder but the rest of the world as well no such condition exists in the air the speed limits of the

tremendous speeds and great heights he will find waiting for him i am sure the plane that will make it possible to eat up distance at a pace beside which the present 350 miles an hour will be but childs play as the airplane industry grows old- er we are constantly finding out more and more about fuels it is amazing in the light of recent discoveries how little we really knew at first about this most important part of flying i our main struggle now is to get an ideal fuel one that will weigh less and furnish more power and to find a means of lubricating the motor ef- ficientiy under all weather conditions as for the motors that are being made today they are marvels of en- 1 gineering construction taey standi up under hours of flying at terrific speeds the motor of the future plane will undoubtedly be better however along with the rest of the machine xo matter to what degree of efli- ciency the plane itself is developed unless we find some way of success fully combating the lack of oxygen and the low temperature of the upper regions we cannot fly there the ordinary person cannot and will not travel by air unless it is made comfortable for him it is our business as pilots and explorers of the air to undergo hardships to prove that fast flying is feasible but we must offer comfort and safety before the world will fly with us every one can use his imagination as to what the
