4 rESTS ARE RIGID FOR WOOD USED IN U.S. AIRPLANES dust Stand t 7 p Under Thou sands of Pounds of Pressure Washington. D. C.—To be trust worthy, an airplane propeller must >c one of the strongest things in the "orld. Not only are they subjected o gunflre, but their normal action ■lakes heavy demands on their strength. Tho very speed of their 'evolutions tends to disrupt them, n a test run with propellers made if wood which had been dried to the bwest possible moisture content, or •one-dry, as they say at the Forest "roducts Laboratory, the ends of the lades actually exuded sap which was • reed out by centrifugal action. Tn ests, at least, it lias been possible o speed the propellers up to such a iiteh that the outer end of the blade in an eight-foot propeller travels at he rate of four hundred miles an lour, says the American Forestry ilagazine of Washington. Some air-machine eng>—run at 700 revolutions a minute, and can le geared up to 2,000. An engine of his power would use a nine-foot-six nch propeller, and the speed of the ilade ends would be in the neigh '(M-iiood of 600 miles an hour. A food many thousands of pounds ot •ressure per square inch are go-m --ated by this action alone, and pro filers have been known to split at he center and lly apart. Even the mallest lack of balance between the ilades is very serious, since the pull if one must counterbalance that of he other. In addition there is tho gyroscopic orce which tends to keep the blades otating in the same plane.

MONDAY EVENING, warfare, when an aviator has to "loop the loop" or plunge, or ascend sharply in maneuvering- to bring down, or escape from, an enemy, the machine has to meet and withstand these unusual tests. Wood for airplane manufacture must be 100 per cent, perfect. In c*er articles there may be a slight #*irgin of Imperfection, and this Is recognized in lumber grading rules. In airplanes, however, the safety of aviator and army demands entire freedom from flaws, according to the Forestry Magazine. Even with Sitka spruce, the favor ite wood for airplane construction, there is difficulty'in obtaining the very highest grades. The United States Forest Service estimates that only 13 per certt., approximately, is available for plane construction. Uf Port Orford cedar, 10 per cent, is about all that can be counted on as good enough for planes; about 8 per -ent. can be used from the spruce of Virginia and West Virginia, and only about r> per cent, from the smaller trees of Maine. A member of the) Curtiss firm is reported to have said that only 167 board feet, on an aver age. goes Into planes from each 1,000 board feet. Tile quantity of food needed for each plane varies, of course, with tiie size of the machine; few of the pres ent types contain less ihan 250 feet, and it may take 2,000 feet in the rough to furnish this amount. One Washington lumberman is making sure of getting only the straighteal of straight-grained stuff by splitting it out of the log instead of sawing it. He gets quality at the expense of considerable waste in riving out choice white cooperage stock, or hickory for spokes. But the resultant product is sure to have straightness of grain. There is no place where this is more important than in planes. There has been an actual dearth ot the kind of Sitka spruce that must be had, but the northwestern loggers and millmen, in spite of labor trou bles, said to have been fomented by our enemies, have begun to catch up with the demand; before long they should be able to keep up a sufficient and constant supply. For propeller blades ash and white oak are used in considerable quanti ties, while some are made of mahog any and spruce or mahogany and ash. Black walnut has been used in place of mahogany, because this wood does not splinter when hit by a pro jectile. Maple, birch and cherry have found some place in propeller manu fracture. Douglass fir has been use? in making frames. SKILLED LABOR BECOMES SCARCE Vocational Schools in Shops and Factories as Means of Trfaining Employes War's demands have brought Am erican industry face to face with a serious situation— the shortage in skilled labor, and every effort is be ing made to meet this fully so that the nation's war preparations may not be held back and the war pro longed. Apart from the emergency measures which often consist of one industry "loaning" men to help out another, the most interesting and constructive work is being done by the vocational schools which have been installed in the various shopa and factories. Probably the model' school of New York State and the! Castern district, is that of the Croek cr-Wheeler Company, electrical ma chinemy manufacturers of Ampere, N. J., which was started by Dr. Schuyler S. Wheeler, president of that company. A number of other companies have modeled their schools after this one. In the Crocker-Wheeler school the students combine practical shop work with class-room theory. One day of the week is spent in the Essex; County Vocational School at VV'et>t ( - > V anfr ®' where they learn ihe scientific side of their practical work. They are taught the draughting, mathematics, designing, chemistry of metals and everything that the finished skilled workman should know. In the shops they are under the direct supervision of a highly trained technical master whoso sole work is to teach them. The course lasts four years and when completed the student is capable of taking full charge of any la-ge machine shop or factory making electrical mach inery. These students must be at least 16 years old when starting the course although they may be any age above that, several of them being 30 years old. They are paid regular wages while learning, thus making the course very attractive. In addition to their regular wages, which afford them a living, they are allowed to work on piece-work. Payment on this is made after an original plan; the students receive half of the piece work money at the end of each week and the other half is allowed to ac cumulate until the end of the course when they receive the whole amount. In addition each student is loaned a full kit of tools at the beginning of the course and this becomes his own when he is graduated. By this plan he faces the world with a sum of money and the training necessary to earn his living in the electrical in dustry, one of the fastest growing in the world. Many Accidents in the Machine Building Industry During the past few years there has been widespread interest in the subject of industrial accidents and their prevention, and important safe ty campaigns have been carried on by many employers and by many private and public organizations. No doubt these efforts have been suc cessful in reducing the huge toll of death and suffering which modern industry levies upon Its workers. But the effectiveness of all such efforts has been seriously handicapped by the general lack of information re garding the prevalence, causes, and effects of accidents in the industries of the country, A recent report of the Bureau of Labor and Statistics of the U. S. De partment of Labor entitled "Acci dents and accident prevention in machine building" supplies this de tailed information for a large group of plants engaged in the building of different kinds of machines. The character of the machines built by these plants varied greatly, from mammoth locomotives and ships to delicate electrical apparatus, but it is of interest to note that they are all of a type for which the war has made enormous demands. Therefore although the present study was made prior to the war, the information re garding accident hazards in the in dustry is now of particular perti nence. A notable feature of the report Is the measurement of accidents ac cording to their severity. Previous studies have been chiefly concerned with the frequency of accident oc currences, and Jiave coiinted all ac cidents as of the same value. A broken finger and a broken back have been counted alike in comput ing accident rates, although clearly the latter is immeasurably more ser ious. The method offered in this report is to measure each accident according to the resulting amount of time lost. To do this it is necessary of course, to express fatal and per manent injuries as well as temporary disabilities, in terms of workdays lost. This is done by valuing a fatal in jury, on tho basis of life insurance experience, as equivalent to the loss of 30 years of a man's working life, while total permanent disability was rated at 35 years. Other injuries are credited with lower time losses in proportion to their probable effect upon earning capacity. Applying this method to the ac cident data for the machine building industry, some very interesting re sults are obtained. Thus, in the 154 plants covered by the investigation the number of accidents occurring in 3 912 was 13,647, resulting in 37 deaths, 411 permanent injuries, and 13,199 of 118 per 1,000 full-time (300 day) workers and a severity rate of 5.6 days lost per worker. These rates may be contrasted with the experience of a representative steel plant during tho same year, for which the frequency rate was 154 and the severity rate 14 days lost. Accidents in the steel plant were thus only ahout one- third more frequent than in machine building but their severity was two and one-half times as great.

The service was probably one of the most impressive ever held in this city. Relatives of the four deceased members of Capital City Nest, for whom the service was held, occupied special seats in the front of the audi torium, their somber garb proving a striking contrast to the electrical effects in the front of the auditorium, the floral decorations and the vacant chairs on the platform. musicians and soloists assist cd'the joint committee of the order in carrying out the details of the program. Eugene Cohen, a local at torney. made the memorial address and paid a splendid tribue to the de ceased members. He said m part: '•The Order of Owls is a truly American order based upon the same foundation stones as the constitution of our nation, liberty. Equality and Justice. We believe that every man is created free and cciual and we practice this theory in our nest chambers. We know no sect, creed or social distinction, the rich and the poor mingle together and work shoulder to shoulder to forward the labor of love. We teach true demo cracy, the kind that we now have thirty brothers fighting for some where 'over there' and in this lodge of memory to-day we mutter one mute prayer that those brave broth ers who have answered the call of their country shall return to us to help partake in the next lodge of memory. Their memories are kept green but their chairs are not vacant and we hold them decked with jewels of glory when they return to our midst. We need no monuments to mark the graves of our absent brothers, for they live on in our memory and will live on after all the monuments shall have crumbled into dust from whence they came." Participating in the program were: William W. It. Webster, so prano soloist of old St. Paul's Epis copal Church, of Baltimore, who sang "The Vacant Chair" and "Face to Face;" A. W. Hartman, bass solo ist of the Messiah Lutheran Church, "Crossing the Bar;" Mrs. Sue Dugan Fager, contralto soloist of the Grace Methodist Church, who sang "A Prayer For Faith," with violin obli gato; reading, "Thanatopsis." Mrs. Roberta Swartz Harling: duet, "Far O'er the Stars Is Thy Rest," Mrs. Fager and Mr. Hartman: selections t>y the Updegrove orchestra: accom panist, J. Stewart Black, organist of Westminster Presbyterian Church; roll call, T. P. Carey; opening pray er, the Rev. Edwin S.
