Madison, VISA method Of making
ANIMATED gunstocks was developed at
the forest products laboratory here,
which would, without reducing the
strength, permit the use of the small
pieces Of walnut not suitable for sim

cable saving in costs and material.
The application of laminated con.

development Of plans and assembly of
material and personnel for the pro-

Commander Towers has been in

corps and is considered an expert of
the service in this branch.
Much attention has been given to
the project by the navy and recent
reports of similar plans by the British
naval aviation service have lent great
impetus to the work on this side.
The navy department during the. war
developed monster seaplane equipped
with three Liberty motors, giving it
about 1900 horsepower. This machine
has as its body a substantially built
boat and has carried as high as fifty
one persons in flights of considerable
length. It has been tested out along
the Atlantic coast with great success

Land to Land Trip in 20 Hours.
When the project of transatlantic
flight was urged here by Major-Gen.
Brancker Of the British air service
last year it was brought out that the
shortest distance would be from New
foundland to the Irish coast. This
is approximately 1000 miles. and given
a plane capable of a sustained speed
Of 100 miles an hour it could be made
in twenty hours. So far as known,
however, no plane has yet been built
which could make the trip without
stopping for refueling.
The route most generally favored in
naval circles, however, is by way of
che Azores, with stop at these
islands for fuel and oil. This would
make the first leg 1900 miles and the
final lap 700. Some officers favor a
halfway stop at sea to refuel from a
destroyer If it is considered impossible
to make the trip in single fight.
In a general way it has been said
heretofore that the crew ANY plane
attempting to cross the Atlantic would
be composed Of at least five men, two
pilots to provide relief at the levers,
two mechanics to care for the engines
and navigating officer to chart the
course.
Conditions Ripe About June.
AS to the weather it was said that
probably not before June would condi-
tons become stable enough to warrant
an attempt. Another quiet period oc-
ours in early fall. It is regarded as
doubtful that all preparations could be
made by the summer period, although
this is one Of the things Commander

It is evident that the Immigration process which is administered to the mails is not only bad for the infu enza microbes or germs but 1t Is also bad for the eyes of those who read the papers and letters that come thru that process.
 Charley Jones. the genial clerk on the w. P dock is wearing a pretty pink patch over one of his eyes these days as the cause of the fumigation of the mails. SO he states. Shortly after opening up a paper a few days back he noticed a slight irritation in his right eye. The optic continuel to offend him and within a day or so slight granulation appeared on the lid. This continued to grow until 1t became necessary to seek medical attention. The eye has been of no use to him for several days and he thinks that he was deprived of the use of the member by some small particle lodging in his eye that was loaded with the fumigating substance.
