Chicago.-While the entire country
has been clamOring for quicker action
in furnishing mun1ions for war pur-
poses, Chicagoans have been quietly
solving the problem of how to produce
the maximum number of big guns and
shells in the shortest possible time.
AS a result, Chicago has become an
active center for the manufacture OF
machinery for smashing Won linden
burg's defenses.
The first of the newly invented
machines being made here Is q lathe
which turns and bores shells with ex'
IRENE speed. The second is machine
for boring big guns Of any size or
length, and the third is planer OF
record-breaking size. The planer Is
built Of concrete and iron and is the
| first Woodworking machine that has
ever been built of that combination
It is the biggest machine Of its kind In
the world.
| These machines are so unusual IL

such speed that the methods Of manu-

among experts.
