Another aspect of the colossal or
ganism is the checking and testing
aspect. If you examine this long
enough you will become obsessed by
| it, so that you will arrive at the stage
of thinking that the manufacture of
shells consists chiefly in checking and
testing. Every shell, as soon as it has
cooled from the redhot condition, is
provided with its biography, which it
bears on card in its cavity. Every
where on the walls are tabular state
ments which are continually being add
ed to. At every corner stand girls
and men writing down figures in note
books.
Every shell is gagged for all it's d.
mansions. 1t is also weighed, for a
shell may be right in dimensions and
yet wrong in weight, in which case
it won't do. Every gauge is periodi-
cally tested by experts in the gauge
testing room. And a certain percent
age of shells, when they are almost
finished, are deliberately sawed to
pieces again, and samples of their steel
turned into bars of a given diameter,
and these bars are fractured-or rath-
er pulled in two-by machines of a
given power, and the quality of the
steel thus laid bare for inspection. In
the fracturing room on shelves are
thousands of fractured bars with their
jagged ends exposed, and in them you
can see how steel differs. Under the
terrific influences of the pulling ma
chimes the finest steel behaves rather
like stale bread.
Finally, in addition to the factory
tests and the government tests within
the factory, there is the government
outside test, for which some shells go
into the sacred bondroOm, where no
unhallowed person may enter and
whence the chosen shells are removed
for realistic trials in distant spots.
When that is over all has been done
that can be done to furnish the ar
with an utterly reliable

tails can be counted in thousands.
Then consider the architectural plan
ming Of the factory, a matter of abso-
lutely Internal compleXity; the mere
placing of the machinery, the inter-
working of the cranes. A hiatus or an
overlapping of one foot over all the
eXpanse of these IL acres would put
a young woman out of her stride and
bring wasteful friction and perhaps
stoppage into the organism. And
consider also the affair of linking up
the shifts, where the women work
In three shifts, but the men in two!
1t might well have taken 20 years to
perfect the N. P. f. How long did it
take?
The proposal for the factory was
made on July s, 1915, and sanctioned
on August II. The land on which the
factory now stands was then chiefly
a dumping ground. Part of it being
subject to foundations, part of the con-
struction had to be founded on piles.
The ironwork was started on Septem-
Der 25. By March &c, 1916 the power
was installed, and much of the ma
chinery had been manufactured in Brit
ain. In the first week of June 127
shells were made Within year of
the sanctioning of the proposal $3.50
shells had been delivered. The output
is now over 10000 a week, and they
are big shells.
How was it done? 1t was done in
principle by putting a big armament
firm in charge, but this firm supplied
only two men direct, though it gave
foremen a fortnight's course of train
ing in its own shops. The manager

weigh three and one-half hundred
weight apiece-and put into the FORCES,
and when they are white hot they are
dropped into a hydraulic machine
which both pierces and shapes them
and from which they emerge, after a
pressure of $50 tons, in the shape of
| nine-inch shells.
That is the first operation out Of
more than a score of quite separate
operations. Then the rough carcass is
"centered," it's nose is bored, it's cav
lty is bored, and the screw-thread is
milled in the cavity, the beautiful
"sink-and-wave" channels are cut in
to go, the base plug is fitted (and no
mortal power could unscrew that base
plug once it is screwed in), the inside
is polished and vanished and the var
nish dried, the base is faced
Then comes the copper-band bust
ness which resembles in its finish the
jewelers. craft. The copper band is
damned on by incredible main force, but
after it is on it is treated with the
most astounding fnesse, and the shell

ing with it's cut and carved bangle.

where everything and everybody is of
yellowish-brown color and where
there is not such a thing as brush ex-
cept the floor sweeper. The paint is
sprayed on to the shells as they hang
in rows and thus the painting is ac-
complished with an evenness, a pre-
cision, and CELEBRITY which would ia
tally shock house-painters. A few
yards further, and the shells are dried
in gas-heated cupboards and out of
these cupboards they are waited into
an ordinary railway wagon and they
disappear from the factory forever.
They are not yet truly shells. They
are only shell-cases. They travel every
where to be filed. Therefore you do
not witness either the beginning of the
work (the steelmaking) or the end of
it. The metal, as far as you are con-
cerned, springs from one mystery and
away into another.

ASKS COMMISSION
 TO FORCE SERVICE

Benjamin Ferguson, engineer for the corporation commission, will re- turn this morning from Yuma, where he went to inspect the plant of the Yuma Power & Light company, against whose rates for service com. plaint had been lodged with the com mission. On the report of MT. Fergu- son the commission will determine whether or not the complaints are well founded.
 Chairman Jones of the commission is now in Williams on an errand a little out of the ordinary, for the pur- pose of affording the citizens of Will Hams temporary relief. An arrange ment had been entered into by them for the purchase of the light and power plant of that city, owned by Chicago parties. A valuation had been made of the plant, but last Fri day night, before transfer had been effected, the plant was destroyed by fire, leaving the town in darkness.
 The lumber company at Williams has small plant by which service a part of the light could be given the town, but citizens have so far been unable to secure the permission of the Chicago owners of the plant to attach the wires of the company to the plant. An appeal was made to the commits sion for an order, as no authority can be secured from any other source.
 An early interesting hearing will come before the commission, the com plaint of the Arizona Life Under writers association against the Southern Pacific Railroad company, charging it with illegally writing in- suranme, though the insurance is for it's own employes.-Williams Times.

 The purchasers were highly pleased with the exceptionally fine class of dairy cattle in the Salt River valley and they expect to return in the near future for the purpose of purchasing several additional carloads of the same breed cattle.
 It is understood that Salt River valley dairy and cattle men will be exporters as well as importers of high class live stock of all kinds.-Hol- brook Herald.

WHY IS AN AMERICAN?

The Indians, being wards of the government as well as of Boston, should not be required to register. We hope the government will fit up specially we'll upholstered cars and send the Indians who refuse to reg ister-except for government grub to Boston and allow the high brow Indian worshipers of the effete east care for these poor abused people, and then advise the Molokans, a cheap labor settlement of fanatical Rus sians, that they may go right back to their beloved Russia or take up a part of the White Mans burden in Amer ica. America is burdened with people who come here to reap harvest of wealth, but have religious scruples against helping in any way protecting the country. They are perfectly will ing that other may do all the fighting for them and protect them and their families at the risk of other lives, and are willing to make it law of the others that they may peacefully par ticipate in the profits thus accrued. The politicians of America are so afraid of their elective jobs, that they are willin gto make it law of the Nation-practically that your son may offer up his life that specia of practical scum of canctimoniousness may save blood and dollars. There is coming a day when the true American regardless of the incident of his na- tionality, is going to defend equal suffrage under equitable laws which will make the "grafter" and the reli- gious impersonator, do his bit, re- gardless of the fact that his code of ethics only require him to get the benefit of the country and let the poor Americanized sucker protect him in his "beliefs"-and profits.

HORSE BEATS THE MACHINE

Colonel Henry J. Reilly, regular army officer, noted correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, has just re- turned fro mthe battlefield of France. He addresses the following to the Percheron Breeders of America: I know of no more vital message to send to Americas horse breeders than this:
 Horses Are Indispensable in War
 There seems to be rapidly increas- ing opinion that the day of the horse in war has passed. The nearly three years of warfare in Europe has shown this to be an entirely erroneous idea. On the Eastern or RussianR Roumanian front where there are few good roads, in other words where the road condi- tions are somewhat similar to those which ordinarily obtain in the United States the horse has not only held his own for the mounted servnces such as the cavalry and artillery, but also supply purposes. Again and again the armies operating on this front have found the arrival of supplies and ammunition dependent upon the use of horse transport. Even on the west ern front phere the road system is probably the best in the world, me- chanical traction has not been able to displace the horse. In general, it might be said that the line between mechanical and horse traction on the battlefield is the extreme limit of the enemies artillery fire when any heavy action is going on. The horse is used on the battlefield and the mechanical tractor in rear of it. Of course dur | ing calm periods, mechanical traction is used along the rear part of the bat l.tlefeld. There are various reasons for this division. Probably the main one is that batteries frequently must be placed and supplied in positions some distance from a road. Often the country to be traversed is so rough that tractor cannot get over it. If the army is operating on conquered ground this ground generally is 50 cut up with old trenches and shell holes that horse traction and only horse traction is practicable. Ere quently the mud is so deep that me chanical traction is helpless. In many cases the situation is such that no wheeled carriages of any kind can move. In such cases pack animals have to be used.
 So we'll are these conditions recogn- ized that in spite of the tremendous weights of heavy artillery material and the slowness and difficulty of moving them by horse traction, it is considered that only half the heavy batteries should have mechanical traction. The remainder are horsed and thus the means are always avail able to move the batteries no matter what the difficulties. Therefore, in general it may be said that an army must still have animals for all its cal airy, the usefulness of which is far from disappearing; it must have horses for all its light field artillery, half its heavy field artillery, and all its regimental and divisional supply trains. Incidentally every regiment of infantry must have several hundred horses and mules. The more the quest is examined, the more two facts stand out. The first is that certain work in modern warfare can only be done by horses. The second is that the number of horses needed for armies which are counted by the mil lions, must be counted by the hundred thousands.
