The Navy Department announced

who lived in Hyattsville, Md.
The Air Medal went to Albert M.

needed to combat them with new
implements of war or with improve
ments on equipment already in use
Not all of the testing is with new
Implements There are constant
tests going on to determine whether
materials and explosives made by
private manufacturers are up to
specifications. Nothing goes to the
surface or air forces until it is the
best.
Guns Fired Constantly.
Anti-aircraft guns in groups of
fours and twos, and tremendous guns
which only battleships can support,
are constantly firing projectiles
down the Potomac River in the di-
rection of Blackstone Island. So
constant is this firing that one gets
the idea that he might be in the
center of a naval engagement.
Some idea of the tremendous VOL
ume of material being manufac-
tured and tested may be gained from
knowledge of the fact that each time
a gun goes off, it is merely single
test.
In the middle of vast expanse of
cleared land stands a two-story
structure. resembling steel skeleton
of a building. This represents two
decks of a battleship, and planes
drop bombs on it. both to determine
the power of the missiles and the
extent of destruction. It is con-
tinuous problem; on the one hand
how to stop the projectiles before
they can do damage and on the
other to find something that will do
greater damage-to the enemy.
When the great guns we're send
ing projectiles into thick armor
plate, all hands were sent into
bombproof shelters from which they
could observe the firing through a
series of mirrors. The need for
this became apparent, for at least
two minutes after firing great frag-
ments of armor cast into the sky
would fall on the roof OF the
shelter, and for a distance of 2
miles in the surrounding territory.
When these great guns are fired
every one on the station, no matter
how far away, must take shelter on
a signal of 10 blasts on a siren.
Many minutes after coming out OF
the shelter, great pieces of smoking
metal as large as the palms of two
hands could be seen on the ground.
Women Aid in Work.
The shortage of manpower has
brought into the station from the
surrounding farms women of all
ages, who have been trained for
particular tasks, even to the point
of supplying the anti-aircraft guns
with ammunition. They are called
"WOWS" by the ordnancemen, the
initials standing for women ord
nance workers, and they are doing
a good job, too, according to the
officers. But they perform many
other tasks. including placing pow
der in ammunition.
The ordnancemen must know
what ammunition and equipment
will do under all kinds of condi-
tions, and one of the new buildings
provides facilities for temperatures
from 81 degrees below zero to 167
above. This particular one is for
tests of aircraft ammunition and
guns which might be taken from
a tropical airf1eld and Immediately
into high attitudes and subfreezing
temperature. The ammunition and
guns must be able to stand. these
sudden changes and at the same
time perform the death dealing
tasks for which they are being de-
veloped and manufactured.
