production OF propellant powder.
Modern warfare requires FOR high
explosives, used as shell filler ton
mage equal TO about So per cent OF
that OF the propellants. Raw ma
terials for high explosives weigh
about 20 pounds TO one pound OF
finished product. While England
had some of these materials. France
and Italy had practically none.
Shipping conditions required that
America should take the burden Of
the manufacture. and she set about
to do H.
'The three principal high expio-
sives used as shell filler were trini-
trotoluol. ammonium nitrate. and
picric acid. Our production OF all
three was limited by our facilities
for producing the three coal-tar
products, toluol (for +. n. IT,, aqua
ammonia for ammonium nitrate),
and phenol (for picric acid).

THE United States had not used
+. y. r. for shell hller before the
war, but by the spring OF 1917 the
Allies had developed monthly ca
pacity OF 100000 pounds here
This was. however, still needed by
them. Our requirements. with theirs
would consume much more thar
J could be produced from the toluo
which 1t was possible to turn out In
this country. We had used ammo.
mum nitrate. but the Allies had dis.
covered that a mixture OF ammo.
mum nitrate and r. n. T. produced
a shell filler which was at ono,
cheaper and more easily procured
] than the pure r. n. T. In October
1917, this mixture. called 'amatoi.
] was adopted as the American shol
filler.
New toluol plants were stimu
lated all over the country. In man,
cities gas-stripping plants wer'
built. Beehive coke ovens were sup
planted by by-product ovens every
where. Various Il. n. T. plants werl
enlarged The dupont plant a
Barksdale, Wis. increased its ca
paoity by 100000 pounds pc
month. and the Hercules plant a
Giant. Calf, by 3.5OO.O00 pound
per month. Contracts were signel
for the erection Of three govern
ment-owned plants at Racine, Wis.
Giant. Calf; and Perryville. Nd
The Racine plant was under con

He wrote.
Gwen since the Frederick club

board, and home run. If ball goes
over the fence. beyond the score

"Your attention Is also called to

sec the rules require that when the
hall goes outside the grounds (mean.

less than 235 feet from home base,
the batsman shall be entitled to two
bases only. And that is the reason
that Golf vas allowed only two has

hence the Home Run Rulo would ap
