MOVING PICTURE USED
IN TRAINING ANIATORS
American Pilots i'm England Partly
Taught Thus i'm Use of Air
plane Guns.

An American Aviation Training
moving picture is being widely used
in the training of American pilots in
this country. The young flying Of
hcers who are sent to the Armament
with the use of airplane guns and
gun-gears find their threc-weeks
course a most interesting one. owing
partly to the share which the NOV
struction.
The pupil is not required to sit
out a lengthy lecture read alond
from the notes of an instructor. In
stead, the various branches of gun
merry training, such as the stripping
and assembling of guns. and the va
rious points to be observed before,
during and after flight, are demon
strated by films. accompanied by
officers.
Frequently a film is run over the
screen several times at different
speeds so that the pupil gets very
intimate idea Of the process being IL
lustrated. Monotony and complexity
find no place in this method of
training.
The films standardize the correct
methods, and their nstructional
value is far reaching. The film
work is not confined to gunneryI
alone, but is continued in the other
technical courses, such as aerial tao
tics and bomb dropping. According
to British instructors. the use of the
film has shortened and improved the
course of training in these depart
ments very materially.

steady, low flying desirable for at
tacking camps and troops in forma-
tion.
Accidents have occurred in the
camps where the Americans are be-
ing trained and few meR have
been killed but the records show
that the percentage is far less in
England than in the United States.
Those in training here are inclined
to attribute the difference more to
luck than to anything else. although
there also is pointed out the proba
bility that the average airplane used
in England is better made machine
| than the average that has been usen
in the United States.
The bombing device being attacn-
ed to virtually every plane is not the
contrivance that was used in the ear

THE MANUFACTURE OF
AUTOMOBILES STOPPED
All Plants by January First Must
BE Converted to 100 Per Cent
Wark Work.

Washington, Aug. II -Manu.ac-
turers of passenger automobiles were
advised by the war industries board
board to convert their plants to 100
per cent war work as rapidly as pos
sible and 10 place them on that basis
not later than January l, 1919, in a
letter addressed to the national au-
tomobile chamber of commerce. In
no other way, the letter stated, could
they be assured of the continuance
of their industry or the preservation
o. their organizations.
The letter was in response to a pro-
posal made by Hugh Chalmers, on
the part of the manufacturers, vol
unfairly to curtail the passenger car
industry 80 per cent. The war in
dustries board declared that the
present situation regarding steel and
other materials needed for war work
gave little assurance OF material re-
qulred for the manufacture OF pas
senger automobiles, even after pro-
viding for war requirements.
Pending receipt by the board of
sworn inventories of materials on
hand, required last July 16, no ma
terials will ,be permitted passenger
car manufacturers, the letter states.
