Auto conversion to airplane engines. With normal operations of this automobile factory suspended for the duration, the gigantic task of converting the entire plant (floor space: 500' x 900') to war production was taken over by the National Defense Plant Corporation. This involved all degrees of remodelling, the removal of old and installation of new machinery, and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself. This hand milling machine, formerly used in manufacture of automobile motors, has been converted to production of airplane engines. In peacetime it was used to mill the pulley keyway on the front of crankshafts. It cost $150 to convert this $1,800 machine with installation of a special fixture to enable milling of staking nicks at each end of crankpin oil hobs. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York

It is on such simple machines as this that the rainbow wool is spun by the barefooted peasant women, whose industry and thrift are proverbial, and who, despite hardship and misery, never give up nor cease to believe in the rainbow of the future. It is because the war has worked some of its worst havoc in the large agricultural areas of Poland that the country is now undergoing such a strain of want and distress. The coming of the American Red Cross into these ruined country districts has been the only source of relief the people have known
