Go Over the TOp fOr war work!

Go Over the Top for War Work!
1t ought not require urging for
every Washingtonian to put his
shoulder to the wheel that is NOV
ing here for the United War Work
Campaign beginning next Monday
and running one week. Whether the
war ends soon or not the fund will
be needed to carry on the great
work Of the Y. NJ. C. A, K. Of C.
and affiliated organizations. There
must be no neglect of an American
soldier abroad. They must all come
home happy that the folks here con-
tinued to think Of them and back
them up.
DAN CALLAHAN advises me
that it's getting to be quite the
popular thing for whole families to
subscribe to War Savings Stamps
to the maximum amount allowed by
law-S1 900 for each individual. E.
D. HATHAWAY, who is prominent
in fraternal circles, has enrolled
Mrs. Hathaway, the two Hathaway
youngsters and himself in "The
81, 900 Club" presided over by
CHARLES J. BELL. Another %W.

W. A. SCHLOBOHM, newspaper
man, with five memberships to his
credit.
A fat man signing himself "Ev-
erett True No. 2" commenting on
the fac-simile Of, the signature Of
Commissioner Gardiner, says he
would not like it to strike him.
"Looks too much like the quills Of

he says.
Commencing the Lady Traffic Cop.
Writing at 4 a. m, a well-nown
reader of Heard and Seen says he
thinks it's up to me to say some
thing encouraging about the work
Of Mrs. Leola King, the lady traffic
COD at Seventh and K streets. "In
spite of facetious remarks from
funny fellows" he observes, "she is
the traffic all right"
There is rather unanimous agree
ment on this point. Crowds of peo-
pie watch her each day and she
gets away with the job in business
like manner. Some Of her admirers
declare that she has all the men
traffic cops skinned a mile. Driv-
ers of machines and teams do not
try to put anything over on her,
either, according to the crowds Of
onlookers.
Readers Of this column. who are
constantly commenting on things
going on. might write their views
on this subject. Give your name,
though.

MAKING AIRPLANES
OF SELECTED WOOD
Spruce Is Being Supplemented with
Other Kinds by the United States
Builders of Machines.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July I0-A
policy now effective in American air
plane production is that of supplement-
ing spruce wood supply by using select
cd timber of other more widely distribut-
Ell commercial varieties 1t is said that
exhaustive tests made by the forest serv-
ice, followed by experiments in CON
struction have proved that requisite
qualifications of strength and llghtness
for airplane building are possessed i'll
varying degrees by other woods, notably
white pine, and that under orders of
John ID. Ryan, head of the aircraft
board, use OF them was Immediately
decided upon.
Ii is not intended, the technical men
say, to dispace the invaluable but some
what inaccessible spruce with the other
woods except in making the fuselage,
finishing the body. and building up sec
tions of the structure like the landing
struts, where the strains and stresses oil
progress against air resistance do not
| center Spruce win still constitute the
material for wing parts, struts, between
| planes and similar sections where these
stresses do center.
/ Airplane specifications have been thor
oughly overhaued in recent weeks, it i
also said, in an effort to eliminate re
quirements of extraordinary structure
strength and fineness of material in non
strain bearing sections, whether made O
wood or of metal which has hampers
production and raised problems of ray
material supply which have been more o
less unsoIvabe in view of the quantit
Of machines desired Much of this ha
only been possible because of the builC
ing during the past year, which has ful
nished an experience upon which to d.
vclop innovations A policy of officit
secrecy concerning all details of the ali
plane program is still in effect
