ammunition and hls are belnjf produced the mother of them all however u the dominion arsenal situated in the heart of old can ada a fin otd fctone building dat ing back to the eighteenth century the walls are five feet thick and from thu building the defender of new france took their itand against the enemy for the paat thirty year or more this same building has been used in the defense of canada but instead oi being the shelter from which guns are fired it has become one center in which ammunition for the canadian army is made during the last war this arsenal employed five to six hundred men and women today it is producing in 24 hours more ammunition than in a whole month during the last war more than a score of large buildings comprise the three main plants one of these is situated in the country fifteen miles from the city and a special train makes n round trip three times a day enrry- ing 1500 rncn and women to work on their respective shift the dominion arsenal is considered the finest plant of its type on tho north american continent not only is it equipped with the very latest in machines and tools but the safety devices and working conditions arc the best possible cartridge cases and bullets are produced from the raw material the men attending the great crucibeb have to wear shoes with wooden soles an inch thick to protect their feat from heat the metal for shell cases is poured into moulds and when cool ed is drawn out until it is just the fraction of an inch in thickness and nearly forty feet in length the long kpringhke coll of brass is then fed into a punching machine from which thlmblellke cups are punched out these are the beginning of cartridge cases they pass through forty op erations until the complete cases are produced after the cartridge case are com pleted they are passed on to another plant where the propellant hi put in the cap fitted and the metal bullets clamped into place this plant where the high explosives are handled is one of extraordinary quietness and cleanliness there is no hustle or bustle here everybody wears special rubber shoos and when walking about the building every now nnd again one touches a metal plate set- in the wall to ground himself so thnt there may he no static generated situated close to this plant is the proving ground here it is thnt guns made in canada using shells the size of a half inch and over arc proved not only are canadlanmndo guns proved here but guns from the american arsenals as well the prov ing ground is operated jointly by the united kingdom and canadian gov ernments a certain number of shells from each batch made are also tested during the proving of the guns shells are fired from a plntform i into n sand bank the shell passes through frames strung with fine copper u ire

antiaircraft gun now being made in this country can fire shells at the rate of 160 per minute wo begin to realize the tremendous num ber of shells necessary to feed all of the guns used by our army lr- force and navy a lot op work goes into the making of a shell exacting work it is for every shell hns to be perfect out of every lot of 500 shells produced four are sent to the proving grounds the record of one factor which is typical of prnctlcnlly nil those producing shelk it that there hne been no rejects from the proving grounds every shell is checked by govern ment inspectors for inaccuracies of any sort and this factory has a re cord for the past year of less than 01 per cent rejected by those in spectors shell manufacture usunlk follows whnt k called straight line produc

bership fee was 1000 for less than n week nnd one requires pull be sides to become initiated into this society officially the term is not pull but priorities perhaps there is some truth to that but it

the carpet wan sure to be draughty if ono moved too near tho edge there was alwayt a danger of falling off and after nil the indy of the arabian nights and tfie other ancient story tcllerd knew nothing of tho actual loveliness of the world far above the clouds and particularly at sunset or the ap proach of n thunder storm or when a rainbow spread itself into a full circle in front of the plane nothing they ever imagined could equal the beauty of that world nnd it is almost impossible to describe it to enrth- bound readers meeting the other kdlurs at new york i met five of tho other

irhcowmbtsnindoceirns7 dinner consisted of consomme chicken salad ice cream and coffee ah these things were mere mnn- made attempts at comfort the real magic was outside the windows every time i looked out the long slender pointed wing was still thero with its two whirring propel lors far down below us were the clouds for wo low nt 6000 to 8000 feet where the air is still nnd there are few bumps it was fortunate that we had clouds all the way across the at lantic seen from that height grown desperately monotonous when the nlr is clear but clouds are always chang ing shape and color the sun set behind a distant row of thick clouds which looked like a faroff mountain range a long path of yellow light stretched over tho whiteness of the nearby clouds they looked like masses of spun sugar candy as the sun dropped awaythe sky flamed with color in three quarters of the dome of heaven 11 was already night but out irt the west the full range of the spectrum stretched across the sky brilliant red at tho horizon going up through the yellows and the blues to the deep indigo of night overhead with n few stars already brightly shining lighting around the wings nearlng portugal we met a high thunderstorm tills time the clip per seemed unable tor rise above it the clouds were close around and often we were in them like a thick fog the lightning was around us too sometimes just beyond the wings but there was no sound of thunder above the roar of the motors it was bumpy too and for the first time two ladies felt sick and strap ped themselves to thoir scats for some others men nnd women alike it was just a new and onjoynbl sensation at night the steward made up the berths that was after we hnd left bermuda there were 23 passengers then nnd room for them nil to sleep i hnd one of the worst positions up close to the wing and number throe nnd four engines but the bed was comfortable and there was a rhythm to the noise thnt was soothing so i slept well outside the window there was a tiny silver of new moon and the very bright stars magic doesnt always work xgvl is magic but sometimes in the hands of hord- hended americans the magic goes wrong we should hnve loft new york on tuesday morning and have been in lisbon on wednesday night but number four engine wasnt be- hnvlng too won even before wo left new york out of bermuda six hours the clipper turned back because of bad weather ahead on the second try we reached the azores but after landing there for more gasoline the mllng engine died ns we were op- 1 poslte the last islands of the group nnd we turned back to
