Reports from field men on

this season is the wartime decline
in the number of trappers. evident
IN the fall trapping period now
ending,
In 1871. beaver trappers took
107l pelts worth S1S5,OOO. Last
March, when the entire Upper

they took only 2,266 pelts.

Did Not Thrive

Whether from confinement. in
adequate food. poaching, or a COM
bination OF causes, the animals did
not thrive and in 1913 the rem
nants Of the herd was trapped and
released in the Turtle Lake coun-
try located in Alpena County.
1t was generally assumed that
poaChing was the chief factor. In
1918 herd Of 1S elk were estab-
lShed in the Crawford State Game
Refuge. Later when this was
broken Up they were placed in the
Pigeon River State Forest in Of
.sego County, where Michigans
resent herd has developed from
'this beginning. A few people
maintain that some of the Turtle
Lake herd migrated 10 the Pigeon
River but reliable information 10
substantiate this Is lacking.
The apparent success OF this
particular herd may be accounted
for by the suitable range feed and
cover. protection, law enforcement
and law observance

Checks on Strength

The stress department checks on
the strength, and. consequently,
the safety of all parts. This divi-
sion must remain in close touch
with the project from start to
finish, including actual construc-
ton and fight testing. Each
component part is investigated TO
make certain that safe margins Of
strength have been allowed.
Once the first model is built, the
flight test department makes GER
tain that flight requirements are
met and endeavors to improve
them when possible. 1t also de-
cideS whether the proposed new
equipment is acceptable for pro-
ducuon airplanes.

Newman characterized the pres
ent consumer goods market, now
being squeezed by the needs OF
war production, as going through
a period in which the American
public is being taught to do with
cut items of merchandise formerly
considered essential, TO make all
kinds of merchandise last longer.

Use Cotton on Planes

Although a navy patrol bomber
is made chiefly of metal, il actu-
ally uses more cotton fabric than
a completely cotton-covered small
plane. The fabric is used on sur
faces where stress is slight, such
as rear spar, control wing, ailerons
rudder and elevator.

Out Designs. Plus
Speed in Manufacture

From its beginning as a mere
confidential design proposal to the
day when it roars out over some
{ a r-fung battlefront hurting
destruction on the enemy, the
American combat plane represents
a triumph of engineering genius.
Each step of its construction IS
worked out and carefully watched
by one or more of a dozen major
divisions Of the plants engineering
staff.
Primarily. these technical men
are concerned with designing and
building the best airplanes pos
sible, but ease and speed in manu-
featuring are important factors IN
determining such designs.
The project engineer takes
charge Of any particular project
or contract and il is his duty TO
coordinate the work of all en-
cheering groups involved. He
must supervise and synchronize
the work of craftsmen. the

Concepts to Change

When victory frees war-born
synthetic, plastic and other SUBJ
stitute m terials and the new
p n is manufacturing them for
postwar use, Newman points out,
the country's w hole concept Of
many raw materials and of quality
in merchandise might change.
For generations" he said,
eve have considered the sheep,
the silkwOrm and the cotton
plant as the primary sources OF
fibers for almost all the fabrics
we have. Yet these three are
today being supplanted and sup
plemented by several hundred
synthetic fibers and made from
such unOrthodox commodities as
milk, lime, coal, air and water.
Statesmen will no longer be
able to define quality In the old
standby terms such as stating
that an article Is all wool, or
pure silk, or crude rubber. More
likely, the salesman will place a
microscope or spectroscope be-
fore the prospective buyer and
say, Just look Mt that crystal
structure-this dress IL 100 per
cent pure petroleum or that
suit Of clothes Is 100 per cent
pure limestone and COKE"

In aSsaying the postwar sales
implications of this development,
j. J. Newman, vice president Of
the B. +. Goodrich Company, said
the most important single factor
is that vast quantities of available

the return of natural rubber TO

rubber surplus creating lone Of

Maintain Superiority

New designs are ordinarily
created TO fit the desires of the
army or navy so that American
aerial superiority may be main
tanned. They may be merely a
set of roughly-drawn outlines or
they may include the design and
construction of wind tunnel models
and mock-ups TO permit the be-
ginning Of acutal design work.
A mock-up is a full-Scale model
of the proposed ship, usually
fashioned from wood, sheet metal
and fabric. a majority of the
larger plane building firms have
their own experimental depart
.ments 10 build such models.
The aerodynamics section, which
is concerned with such items as
areas, shapes and sections of COM
ponent parts of the plane, is
charged with responsibility for the
flying characteristics. Theory and
wind tunnel tests are correlated

Seek New Uses

''The problem will concern not
only those of us In rubber" he
said, "but will have an effect on
many either industries as well. -
ut will become a combined
problem of science and sales
management to find, create and
fill new practical uses for the
additional quantity of rubber
that will be available. Products
that have never been made Of
rubber may then very well be-
come an important part of your
INDUSTRY, no matter what it
may be-"
Newman pointed out to the sales
executives that consumers will
benefit from this situation. since
synthetic rubber will in time be
competitive in price with natural
rubber 1t is already competitive
in quality. This very likely will
mean that we can price our pro-
ducts lower, eventually making
them available to a greater num-
Der of people"
