France had been practising scientific
forestry for many years and on this
account had the wood when the call
came for It. This is an example by
which the United States may well
profit.
Through its memorial tree planting

Bull Ring
The finest bull ring in Mexico. eX-
cept the one in Mexico City, is located
in JuareZ and every Sunday there is
a bull fight which is witnessed mostly
by Americans who go from Ell Paso
for that purpose. 1t IS given with all
the tawdry effects in costumes and
with all the brutality shown at the

Fine Race Track
The great race track at Juarez Is
known throughout the world and with
its massive grandstand and wonderful
track it is really a splendid setting Tor
this king of sports" 1t is conducted
solely by American money and during
the racing season street cars run direct
from Ell Paso to the track thus dong
away with the customs formalitles.
Some of the most famous horses IN
the world have made records there
and the sporting fraternity and the
men who really own good horses have
rubbed shoulders there. OF course,
the race track people stay in Ell Paso,
for there is no fit place to stay IN
Juarez, and go to and fro each day
during the season.
As might be expected Juarez has
many gambling houses, frequented by
Americans and the shooting up seems
TO have found it's way into their blood

uncommon in which the American
sport plays part.

and the beams running lengthwise de-
mand wood with straight grain whlch
must continue the whole length OF the
piece without going across from one
side to the other or running out.
Parts Arc Built Up"
Most of the parts of an aeroplane
are of built-up or laminated wood IN
which thin layers are glued tosether
to form the part needed. Thls mas
many advantages. In the first place
the smaller the pieces of wood that
are employed the more likely they are
20 be free from defects. Further, the
lamination divides the stresses and pre-
vents them from coming in full force
on any one grain. 1t is. on the whole.
another exemplification of the OLD
adage that in union there is strength.
Another advantage is that laminated
stock can be built to form curves, or
can be bent to a curve without split
ting or weakening the piece.
The main reason for such large use
of spruce in aeroplane building is Its
Uniformity of structure and freedom
from defects. 1t has the quality or De-
ing what it appears to be on the sur
face. If one picks out a piece OF
spruce that looks good and is clear
and straight, he may be sure that 1t
is good. other woods which may look
as straight and clear will occasionally
deceive. Propellers, like the other
parts. are made of built-up pieces.
Some propellers are made entirely OF
black walnut, laminated. of course

carrying mails and for a hundred
other purposes. They will be used for
patrol duty over the country's forests
on the lookout for fires. Map-makng
by acroplane has been found by the
United State Geological Survey to be
practical, and photographs taken from
the air it has been found can be made
as accurate and accomplish as much
as would have required weeks or
months of observations from the
ground. These are among a few of
the uses to which aeroplanes will be
put.
incst Grade Only
Only the best quality of wood can
go into the construction of an airship
or a seaplane. Therefore it is neces-
sary to cut Gown many trees to pro-
vide the material needed for a single
plane. OF course, the pieces which
are cast aside as worthless for aero
plane stock can be used for furniture
and other purposes: but it shows some
thing of the extra drain which is
going to be made on the forests of
the country. The American Forestry
Association which is urging a national
forest policy points out some of the
various kinds OF wood which are call
ed for in the building of aeroplane
parts and why this or that variety is
preferred for propellers. posts or ribs
For ordinary commercial uses a
piece of wood which has some slight
defect may be employed with safety
and no lives are endangered. In fact

this is recognized in regular lumber
grading rules. A small knot or some
other slight imperfection in grain or
texture is passed. Not SO with aero
planes. There can be no margin OF
safety" there. Every bit of wood that
enters into its makeup must be per-
feet. A thousand feet of lumber may
have to be taken out of the forest 10

will measure up tc the standard re-
ouired. or the whole lot sometimes
NAV be rejected. This shows the need
of more tree planting and of proper
forest conservation and a national for
est policy which will provide for the
future.
Principal Woods Used
Walnut, mahogany, spruce, ash,
white oak. maple. birch, cherry ana
Douglas fir are among the principal
woods which have been most ex-
tensively used in the manufacture OF
aeroplanes. Walnut is the best wood
that grows for propellers, as also for
gunstocks. This is because or lis

o, sir. they just can't make aero
\ planes bone dry. They have tried
to make the propellers bone dry
i Il with terrific tests. but a propeller
has to make 100 or more revolutions
a minute to make good and even at
that it will drip" sap after a test.
This Is true of wood even when It has
been dried to the lowest possible
moisture content.
If a trip across the Atlantic Ocean
axes "a hours and the propeller makes
100 revolutions a minute 1t will be
seen that the propeller will make two
million, four hundred and forty-eight
thousand revolutions in negotiating
the distance. This strain seems al
most beyond human comprehension.
There is no substitute for wood in
the manufacture of aeroplanes. No
other material has been found which
so combines strength and lightness. or
which resists the tension upon rapidly
revolving propellers so as to stand the
strain. More and more wood will be
in demand for this purpose. The bust
ness of flying is going to take its place
alongside the other great industries of
the world.
With transatlantic flight now a
