This is the Jap airfield at Munda—on jangled New Georgia
Island in the Solomons—where American forces are bombing, shell-
ing and attacking by land. U. S. troops at newly -won Viru Harbor,
farther south on New Georgia, are advancing on this Jap position,
while artillery on nearby Rendova Island has Munda area under fire.
Have You Heard?
A nervous girl was chatting to
/ter vicar about fishing, on which
The was keen. "Did you manage
to get any fishing while you were
!away?" inquired the vicar.
"Oh, yes," replied the girl,
"quite a lot—mostly perch and
chub, though they're not partic-
idarly nice to eat. Which do you
prefer, vicar," he added, "cherch
or pub?"
The school master was ex-
plaining vulgar fractions. "If
I take a potato, cut it in
half, then in quarters, and
then inhalves again, what
'hall 1 have?" he asked.
"Chips, sir," was the im-
mediate response.
It was the first day of a new
term, and the teacher asked a
small girl in her class—a new
pupil — what her father's name
was.
"Daddy," replied the child.
"Yes, I know," said the teacher.
"But what does your mother call
lith?"
"She doesn't call him any-
thing," was the quick reply. "She
likes him"
Betty: "Did you hear about
the fellow who stayed up all
'light figuring out where the
elan went when it went
down?"
Oliver: "No, what hap-
Veaed?"
Betty: "It finally dawned
on him."
Ethel: "She's sorry enough that
she married him, I'll wager."
Mabel: "The idea! Jiow can
lieu say that? He thinks her a
serfect angel, and treats her—"
"As though she really were
(we. He doesn't buy her anything

WHAT SCIENCE
IS M>,.@!
WIRE WRAPPINGS
The big naval rifles such as
are used on battleships may be
wound with wire. The purpose of
such winding is to strengthen the
gun's resistance to the tremen-
dous pressure exerted by 'the'
charge that propels the projec-
tile.
In Great Britain, where wind-
ing guns with wire is a general
practice, the wire used is one-
fourth inch wide and .06 inch
thick and has a breaking strength
of over 100 tons per square inch.
This ribbon-like flattened wire is
applied in a continuous band,
]ayer on layer, with increasing
tension in each layer. In some
types of gun the wire wrapping
extends all the way from the
breech to the muzzle. In other
types only the breech the part
subjected to the first shock of
the propelling charge—is wrap-
ped with wire.
* e
The number of layers of wire
(in the case of a 15 -inch gun)
varies from 20 turns at the muz- '
zle to 79 turns at the breech. In
the making of a single gun the
use of some 22 tons of wire is
involved, and the total length of
the wire is in the neighborhood.
of 186 miles.
The blanket of wire is usually
applied outside the tube or lining
and the first layer of shrunk -on
metal hoops. These hoops are of
such size as to be barely large
enough to fit snugly when red
hot. On cooling and shrinking
they exert a strong pressure on
the tube. A casing is shrunk on
over the wire after the winding
is completed.
* * e
It has been estimated that the
wire wrappings provide more
than 'double the strength of the
steel in the hoops of an ordinary
built -pp:. gun.: However, wire
wound g'u'ns tend to lack longi-
tudinal strength and rigidity. As
to result of this lack the gun muz-
zle may droop and "whip" when
the gun is fired, somewhat de-
creasing the accuracy of the
weapon.
Other types of ' big guns in-
clude built-up guns consisting of
two or more concentric cylinders
shrunk one on the other, and
cold -worked guns, matte up from
a single cylinder with a bore
slightly less than the desired
calibre. The bore' is enlarged to
the correct size by enormous in-
terior hydraulic pressure, with
the result that the inner layers
of the nf'etal are put under com-
pression by the contracting force
of the outer layers just as though
a jacket had been shrunk on.
