The aviation section of the Signal Officers' Reserve Corps is the corp d'elite of our army, all right. It advertises for "men of daring, men of ability, men with clear heads, men with keen eyes," between the ages of 19 and 30, "preferably under 25," who "must be able to pass a stringent examination covering eyes, ears, heart, lungs and sense of balance," and who possess a college education or its equivalent. Note that last word. You are passed at once on a college diploma if the physical tests are met, but, lacking a college record, you must have a thorough knowledge of internal combustion engines, the difference between tractor and pusher types of airplanes, between four-cycle and two-cycle motors--all this, notwithstanding the fact that the collegian gets by regardless of whether he knows a motor from a wheel barrow.
