THE MAKING OF
AN AIRPLANE
THOUSANDS OF OPERATIONS
ARE NECESSARY.
Sonie Details of the Intricate Factors
Entering Into the Manufacture
oL' Warplanes.
The time, labor and material -which
go into the making of a warplane are
thus set forth by Lieutenant Colonel
Hiram Bingham, Signal Corps, U.S.A.
Let me try to depict by a rough pic-
ture a plane in the making. Suppose,
for instance, you were set to driving
4326 nails and 3377 screws. Undoubt-
edly that would be quite a task—a to-
tal of 7703 separate operations, Well,
when you had reached the 5000 mark
you could truthfully be told that you
had done less than two-thirds of the
work of this sort required for a single
airplane. (These figures are for a
training plane; for a French battle -
plane 23,000 screws are said to a be
needed.) Somehow a plane looks so
simple and floats so gra"cefully
through the air that we 'lose all,
thought of the skill that goes into its
making.
Must Use Little Metal.
*rust recently we'liavereceived some.
figures of the material which is re-
quired for one of the„simpler training
planes. For instance, 921 steel
stampings must be cut out, 798 forg-
ings cast and 276 turn -buckles, all for
a single machine.
Think, then, of the hundreds of
thousands of such pieces• needed for
the thousands of planes in the Ameri-
can program and of how utterly hope-
less for us the situation would- • be if.
those parts were not standardized,.
turned out by machinery in tens oaE
thousands, and usable in scores of
different factories on any . Toind of
plane. The reduction of aircraft
manufacture to the simplest, stand-
ardized quantity production basis has
been one of America's great triumphs
in the air and an achievement which.
very soon will be making itself felt.`.
But metal must be used in an air-
plane as little as possible. It is alto-
gether too heavy, especially when a
few extra pounds make all the mar-
gin in speed between victory and de-
feat. An engine of 300 horsepower
is in itself enormously heavy to rise.
into the air; so that the rest of the
machine must attain the very acme of
lightness.
The Strain Exerted.
That very lightness, however, en-
tails enormous strength and perfect
adjustment. Think of the strain
which is exerted on every wire and
nut, every inch gf linen and every ,bit
of wood as this 300 -horsepower mech-
anism rushes through the air at 150
miles an hour! Cyclones often do not
go as fast, and we can easily picture
what happens to a strongly built.
house when the air strikes it at that
speed.
But if the strain is great simply be-
cause of high speed, what mutt it be
when a plane suddenly careens down-
ward, taking a tremendous pressure
oft' one part and hurling it upon an-
other. It is that kind of sharp, sud-
den, unevenly distributed shock which
allows the slightest tap of a knife to
crack an egg or the explosion of a
depth bomb to crush in the unpre-
pared side of a submarine. Obviously
a plane must be built so, skillfully and
of such perfect material as to with-
stand not only " the pressure of the
cyclone speed, but also the added
shocks of its sudden evolutions.
Airplane Spruce.
The one material which gives this
double characteristic of strengthwtth
lightness is spruce; not the ordinary
spruce, but a superselected'spruce
from the giant trees of the Pacific
coast. Few would believe that this
would present much of a problem with
America's vast resources, but when
one considers that only a small frac-
tion of the very best spruce is, usable
at all, and that the war has vastly
increased the demand for that, the dif-
ficulty, will begin to appear. Let me
explain this in detail:
The ideal trees for airplane spruce
aro the fine t_ old patriarchs, scarce,
enough at best, which havela girth of
about fourteen feet and run up 160
feet without a branch. Now, when
this splendid woodis ,cut,' 52 per cent
is thrown out at once -the part' in
the heart where the grain is too cir-
cular and the part at the circumfer-
ence where the grain is too coarse.
Another 10 per cent. is culled out foe
various reasons and another 73/2 per
cent.` lost to itiln shrinkage,, This
leaves us less titan one-third of our
original wood for further selection.
Of this third, however, only a small
oportion is fit for the more delicate
fG
Pr
:� work, Less tha11 1 per cent. of it has
the neeossary,length and :strengthfor
ailerons; 2,3 per cont. is fit for. the
wing beams; 4.6 per cent. for the long
struts' and the same for the landing
gear, The balence can only be used
for. 'Hie and the smaller fittings,
These figures show why America's
vast lumber resources are being
strained to the limit to build our air
fleet. They explain also why it has
been necessary for the United States
to take over the whole spruce output
as agent for the combined Allied pro-
gram and eliminate the ruinous com-
petition which had prevailed among
the English, French and Italian Gov-
ernments."
Yes, Who?
The wounded Tommy was sitting
up in bed when the nurse brought him
his tea. He stared at his plate, and
just as the nurse was leaving him, he
said:
"Oh, I say! Who ever put the but-
ter on this bread?"
"Why, I did," returned the nurse
indignantly. f•
Tommy went rather red, and stam-
mered:
"I-- Oh, pardon, nurse, but—
well, who scrapedit off again?"
LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SORT, CLEAR.
Make this beauty lotion for a few
cents and see for yourself.
What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring, out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? = But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should.. .be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine.cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about' three ounces
of orchard white, then shake well
and you have a whole quarter pint of
skin and complexion lotion at about
the cost one usually pays fir a small
jar of ordinary cold cream. Be etre
to strain the lemon juice so no pulp
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face, neck, arms and hands it should
help to bleach, clear, smoothen and
beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons. '

Italy Spends Five Millions Daily.
The war is costing Italy $149,000,-
000 a month or,in round numbers,
about $5,000,000 a` day, says a recent
despatch froth' Rome. r In estimating
the cost of the war the expenditure
incurred during the ten months of
Italy's neutrality for war prepara-
tions as well as the money spent dur-
ing the thirty-three months of war
up to the end of last February are
taken into account. - The estimate is
only approximate, because besides the
money actually spent for war expehd-
iture payments made by the War Of-
fice and the Admiralty for extraord-
inary expenditure due to the war, are
included in the calculation.

This will cost very little but wil

A few drops of this new ether com-

be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way .to rid one's feet of

corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.

Canada imports annually, canned
sardines valued at over $100,000. The
major portion of these imports are
from the United States, Norway, the
United. Kingdom and Portugal, in the
order named. ,Oddly enough, only 20
per cent. of the New Brunswick catch
is canned in this country. The re-
maining 80 per cent. is shipped to
Maine to be canned by American can-
ners. The Canada Food Board is at
present taking active steps to have
these fish canned do Canada. If'this
is done it will be, obviously, a distinct
advantage to Canadian consumers.
