Plastics For Defense By CLARENCE A. HOLDEN, Staff Writer, Waterbury Democrat Washington Service Bureau.

substances. These types are furth. CT divided into two groups, one cal- led thermoplastic and the other thermosetting, based upon their be- havior toward heat. Thermoplastic materials are permanently fusible; they alternately melt or soften when heated and harden when cooled. The cellulose derivatives, some of the synthetic resins, and most of the natural resins, are thermoplas- tic. Thermosetting plastics, on the other hand, may be made perma- nently infusible. Most of the mold ed synthetic resins are tllermoset- ting.
 The synthetic resins are perhaps the most important of the four types. Some of the cheap raw ma terials used In their production in- clude phenol, urea, formaldehyde, glycerol, phthalic anhydride, ace- tylene, petroleum. These materials can be derived from Q few natural substances, such as air, water, coal, oil, salt, sulphur and limestone. The synthetic resins themselves may be divided into several chemical types: q phenolic-aldehye --. of which BAKELITE is probably the best known trade name; (2) anino-al- dehye - BEETLEWARE being 6 well-known trade name of this type; (3) vinyl, of which V1NYL1TE, LU. CITE, and PLExIGLAS are some of the trade names; (4 hydroxy-car- boxylic; (5) indene; e organic polysulphides - rubber-like plaS- tic with the trade name T'HIOKOL.
 The natural resins used in plastics include those of animal, vegetables and mineral origin. Shellac is one of animal origin, resin vegetable, and asphalt mineral.
 Cource Of CelIulose
 The chief source of cellulose for the cellulose- -derivative plastic are cotton and wood. Cellulose plastics excel in toughness and are especial ly useful in thin sheets which have remarkable flexihility, "safety-glass" being an important product of this type. CELLULOID is perhaps the best-known plastic derived from cel- lulose.
 The best known protein plastics are made from casein, obtained from skinned milk. Other types that are sometimes used include the blood albumins obtained as by-pro- ducts of slaughterhouse operations, and the soy bean proteins which re- main in the pressed cakes after re- moval of the oil for other uses.
 Air, animal blood, coal, cotton, limestone, milk, petroleum, salt, sul- phur, water, wood - no need to de- pend upon any other country for these materials. Yet 1t is from such stuff that "plastlcs" are made. Hard and tough-or flexible and strong transparent or opaque, "plastics" bid fair to become one of the fore- most materials with which our de- fense industry has to work.

 It Is a mystery no longer as far as some experts are concerned. At considerable personal risk, pr. Charles M. Bogert of the American Museum of Natural History discov- cred a trick behind the ceremonial.
 In Natural History, the museums monthly magazine, he tells all. pr. Bogert attended one of the nine day ceremonials in Hopi village last August. He sat with the Indians and watched priests dance with wriggling reptiles in their mouths. He counted 10 prairie rattlers, three Great Basin racers, nine Arizona bull snakes, and one glossy snake.
 At the close of the ceremony, the priests seized as many snakes as they could carry, dashed into the desert, and released the Serpents among the rocks.
 Dr. Bogert and companion, try ing to make their actions as unob- trusive as possible, slipped into the desert themselves, found 34-inch rattler, rolled it in a length or sack, and hid the bundle in Dr. Bogerts hat.
 If the Indians had seen them manhandling one of their sacred messengers" there's no telling what might have happened.
 But they didn't, and, in the shell ter of a convenient gully, Dr. Bogert examined the snake.
 "A nasty examination" he reports, proved no fangs to be present.
 Back at their camp, they made 8 more thorough examination and found that the snakes embryo fangs had been removed, making it permanently and completely safe to handle" The venom glands were intact, but without the fangs, the snake was harmless.
 What surprised Dr. Bogert vas not SO much the fact that the pri- mary fangs had been removed but that the embyro fanss had been

Invisible Nazi airplanes with wings and fuselages made of trans parent plastics, rendering the craft hardly discernible ct attitudes above 2,500 feet, have been predicted in London dispatches. It has been re- ported that the Henschel works at Wiener Neustadt, Austria, are &C., tually making such planes, with an eventual output of between 200 and 250 machines @ month.
 Whether or not the Germans &C., tually have developed a transparent plastic material that is suitable for molding airplanes, 1t Is significant that here is another instance in which the term plastic" is used In connection with war equipment.
 Various "plastics" can be pro- duced from raw materials which abound within the continental Unit ed States. This fact has centered attention of our defense experts on the question of substituting "plas- tics" for other materials, particular ly metals, that must be imported. A special committee has been form ed by manufacturers of plastics to cooperate with the government to develop products to replace certain materials in airplane production, and manufacturers are already using plastics in every possible way as substitutes for metals in so- called "nonessential" commodities, thus releasing metals for manufac- ture of war equipment.
 The term "plastics" brings to mind a picture of soft, thick ma terial, like bread dough, clay or mud. But the "plastics" with which manufacturers are concerned are substances that can be nodded at will into objects of any shape hav- ing the hardness of stone, transpar- ency of glass, the flexibility of rub- Der, strength, light weight or re- sistance to deterioration. Which of these properties the finished pro- duct incorporates depends upon the chemical nature of the raw mater ials from which 1t Is made.
 Modern Plastlcs Industry
 The modern plastics industry deals chiefly with moldable materials manufactured from organic com- pounds, 1. e., combinations Of car- bon with hydrogen, oxygen, nitro- gen and other chemical clements This differentiates them from in- organic molding materials, such as the concretes, cements and cera- mics. There arc four principal types of organic plastics: CD syn- thetic resins; (0 natural resins; @ ceD lulose derivatives; (4 protein

skillfully excised out.
 Tt remains an astonishing fact" he writes, that the Hopi Indians are sufficiently well acquainted with the anatomy of the rattlesnake to remove 50 skillfully the reserve fangs.
 Few people, even among those who habitually handle rattlesnakes in circuses or in carnival shows, are aware of the fact that all venomous snakes periodically shed their fangs and that merely breaking of the functional fangs does not render the serpents permanently harmless"
 Dr. Bogert thinks that Hindu fa- kirs also are fakers, and that their power to charm the deadly cobra" rests on the secure knowledge that its fangs have been removed.
