THE VVHITE METAL IN WAR.
Aluminum Will Take Place of wood
In the Days to Come.
Aluminum bas found an immense
»umber of uses in the great war. For
the sake of lightness, it is largely em-
ployed. In flying naitehines, to re -en-
force the framework of the wings as
well aie for the bodies, and most par-
ticularly In the construotion of the en-
gines.
All sorts of camp equipments are
sriade of this metal, from soup kettles
to tent pins. The list Is too long to
recite. Each fighting man's mess kit
is of aluminum --his meat can, his
spoon, etc.. His canteen is of the
same material.
When he goes into the light, his
most important and effective weapon
Is commonly his hand grenade. It is
loaded, very likely, with a powdered
