this double characteristic OF strengt
with lightness is spruce; not the or
binary spruce, but unprecedented
spruce from the giant trees of the
Pacific coast. Few would believe that
this would present much of a prob
lem with Americas vast resources;
but when one considers that only a
small fraction Of the very best
spruce is disable at all, and that the
war has vastly increased the demand
for that, the difficulty will begin to
appear Let me explain this in de-
tail
THE ideal trees for airplane spruce
are the fine old patriarchs. scarce
enough at best, which have a girth
of about IA feet and run up 160 feet
without branch Now when this
splendid wood is cut So per cent is
thrown out at once--the part in the
heart where the gain is too circular
and the part at the circumference
where the grain is too coarse. An.
other 10 per cent is culled out for
various reasons and another 7 IL
per cent lost to kiln shrinkage. This
leaves us less than one-third of our
original wood for further selection.
'.Of this third, however, only a
small proportion is fit for the more
delicate work Less than / per cent

tions with the enemy. has caused a SEN
sation because of the important con-
nections of her alleged accomplices.

berg, who was prominent on the Paris
boursc and whose Paris bank is under
. sequestration, fed to Switzerland at
the opening of hostilities. He organ
tied a bank and information bureau at
Zurich in association with another Aus
TRAN named Bethlehem, according to

ger, member of the German reichs-
tag had a large account with the firm
and drew heavily on it to carry on d
propa gAnda in Switzerland.
