Plane Production Scars,
Reaches 96,369 in IA

WASHINGTON. - American fac
tories delivered 96,369 planes of all
types in 1914, bringing production
since July l, 1910, to an AXis-stag-
gering total of 253 1886.
The 1914 output represented an in
crease of 11,423 planes, but by using
weight as the yardstick the increase
exceeded so per cent. Weight now is
regarded as a more accurate gauge.
The trend toward greater average
weight will continue in 1915, with in
creasing numbers of BIG Superfort-
resses and other giants.
Present planning calls for 1927
planes in 1915, but Chairman j. A..
Krug, WPB chairman, said recently
that the indications are that this will
be increased.
December deliveries totaled 6,697
planes, a slight decrease from No
vember's 6,747, but there was no de-
cline on a weight basis.

u. S. Navy Plans to Step
Up Training for Filters

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The navy
announced recently that it would re-
institute part of its pilot training
program, which was cut back last
summer.
The increase in pilot training will
give former aviation cadets and
student aviation pilots who were
separated from the preliminary
stages of the program an op-
portunity to reenter the program.
The navy said the accelerated
tempo of the Pacific var was n
reason for the increase in the train
ing program. Another, the navy
said, is the plan to speed up rota-
ton of navy 1iers, giving aviators
more frequent periods in the United
States for rehabilitation and refresh
er training.
At the same time the navy an
nounced that 1000 carefully Sc
lected" enlisted men would begin

Ball Powder Is
New Yank Feat
Explosive Produced Faster
Than Smokeless Variety
By Novel Process.

EAST ALTON, ILL.-Ball powder,
a smokeless powder made by a revo-
lutionary new process, is produced
like a Panama hat-under water.
But powder-makers don't wear
swimming suits to manufacture
these tiny spherical balls of explo-
sive that look like miniature BIB
shot. They don't even have to touch
the powder.
Ball powder is made by a chem
ical process and is untouched by hui
man hands from the moment raw
materials are fed into stills until the
completed ball powder globules are
pumped out of huge water-flled sort
ing watts to be dried under infra-red
lights.
Regarded by ammunition makers
as n of the few major scientific
achievements in the field of explo-
sives since the Chinese invented gun
powder, ball powder was invented
here on the banks of the Mississippi
river in the laboratories of the West
ern Cartridge company.
Safe and Fast.
Ball powder is not only safe to
make, but is being made ten times
faster than smokeless powder made
by conventional processes. The
average manufacturing time for ball
powder has been cut down from 376
hours to 40 hours. Recently a batch
of raw cotton was nitrated for ball
powder at nine o'clock in the morn
ing, and at three o'clock that after
noon cartridges loaded with the pow
der were fired on the testing range of
Western Cartridge company. 1t was
the fastest production of smokeless
powder in history, Western workers
believe.
Where ordinary smokeless powder
is made by pressing n~itrocellulose
through dies and chopping the slen-
der spaghetti-like rods into the prop
er sizes, ball powder is manufac-
tured chemically under water. The
nitrocellulose is first reduced to a
liquid by the addition of ethyl ace
tate, a chemical used in the making
of women's nail polish.
Method Is Simple.
Because it is lighter than water,
the liquid nitrocellulose rises to the
top of the still. By whipping the
mixture, it breaks into a multitude
of tiny globules-the pellets of ball
powder. The greater the speed of
stirring, the smaller the balls be-
come. A chemical is added to pre-
vent the balls from reuniting. After
the balls are dried they are ready
for loading into ammunition.
Although 40 chemists are kept
busy checking every stage of pro-
d%uction, actual manufacture is so
that few critical materials
nave been used in building the ball
oowder-making equipment. Local
ooilermakers constructed the stills
and steamfitters put together the
pipe used to convey the product from
me tank to another.

Traditions and Customs of
Ancient and Modern Easter

FASTER dawn services were first
held, because it was believed,
many centuries ago, that the sun, in
celestial joy over the day of resur-
%rection, danced in the sky. People
used to assemble in the darkness
and make the long procession to the
nearest mountain top, there to wait
the dawn and the Easter service
which celebrated this phenomenon of
the heavens.
A Saxon goddess, Eostre, gave
Easter its name and its early mean
ing, for she was the goddess of
spring. But about SO A. D., it be-
came a Christian holy day, and al
though the name of Easter was re-
tanned, the meaning of the day be-
came sacred to the death and resur-
rection of the Savior.
Persia, Egypt, Greece and Rome
all regarded the humble egg as the
symbol of the universe. From that
bit of symbolism it was natural that
the egg should next be regarded as
a token of life itself and its perpetu-
alton from generation to genera
ton. II is in that role that the g
has survived to become part of the
Christian Easter, for Easter was a
rebirth of life.
Ancient Easter Bunny.
The rabbit is the sole survivor of
a group of several kinds of animals
associated with Easter. Even
the lion, for instance, was a symbol
of resurrection because it was once
believed that young lion cubs we're
born dead and were restored to life.
The Phoenix. the Egyptian bird
lives and dies and lives again,
was also such a symbol of new life.
The bunny is associated with
Easter because it is a symbol of the
moon and Easter, the date of which
is governed by the moon. is in a
sense a lunar holiday. The young
Of the hare are born with eyes open
and there was a superstition that
the animal which has nocturnal
habits always keeps its eyes I'M
closed; hence the Identification with
the full moon.
