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. ' . To a Butterfly.

So powerfully did the great advo- cate depict the wrong -.that he con- tended had been done to his client and so vivid was his description of the ex.' tent to which the forge - had been stripped, that the blacksmith, who sat near by, was observed to burst into tears. w "Why, Tom," said ' a sympathetic. friend, "what's the matter with you? What are you crying about?" "Oh," replied the blacksmith be- tween his sobs, "until Mr. Choate spoke I had no idea I had been so abominably t -t -treated!"

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 positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness in- stantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers. This new way .to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling at his corns, but dip this out and make him try it. If your druggist hasn't any free - zone tell him to order a small bottle. from his wholesale drug house for you. Easy Enough.

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.
