Then, warned Jeremiah, God had said: "I myself will fight .against you with an outstretched hand and a strong arm, even in anger and injury, and in great wrath.". Is it any wonder that such- concern nation brought upon him the ennr.ry of those he assailed T ; So, accusing him of being a trait or to his people and a blasphemer, just as Jesus was subsequently ac cused, the priests and prophets ar raigned him before the people. Jere miah's answer was that he uttered the message of God and he reiterated ibis call that they , repent and menp their ways so that Jehovah might relent. But realizing that he was in their power, he warned them that if they put him to death, they would bring innocent blood upon Wieir hands. , So earnest and impressive was his defense that the verdict of the princes and people was that "this; man is not worthy to die, for be has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.".

During the Battle of Britain a great deal was learned about the use of oxygen in flying. A curious fact is v that in? sufficient oxygen is first shown in the eye. ' Vision is affected as low as 6,000 feet. For this reason all pilots are required to use oxygen from ground level at night on all trips above 10, 000 feet. Modern advancements have made it necessary that each member of the . crew be protected against a lack of insufficient oxygen as he rises higher above the earth. In modern warfare high altitudes are necessary because the aircraft are thus freed from much of the danger of fire and of bad weather hazards. At 30,000 feet there are no clouds and the winds are usually easy to calculate. The great dangers are extreme cold and lack of oxygen, against which the airmen must be prepared in order to prevent death. Severe lessons were learned and men died before the ex treme dangers were fully realized. In 1776 there was wild and foolish speculation on high altitude flying. U was said that the "spirits are rais- ' ed by the purity of the air and rest in cheerful composure. All worries and disturbances disappear as if by magic." Disease cures were thought possible through balloon ascensions. These views were abandoned In 1875. A French balloonist named Tiaaand ier accompanied by two companions made a balloon ascension in France to great heights. On the advice of la ' scientist, he carried with him a supply of oxygen. They had no warning tymptons. The balloon went up 28, 000 feet and then dropped to earth. Tksandier escaped alive but the other men died from lack of oxygen. Death comes without awareness of its ap proach as in monoxide poisoning. . Aircrew members of the army are given most thorough training and con ditioning, especially for Ugh altitude! flying.
