BALSA, LIGHTEST Y First Used for Airplanes in World War It Is Now Found Handy Material Composed Mainly of Air WASHINGTON, D. O. (Spl.) "Light as balsa" may supplant "light a a feather" as a popular simile If Industry keeps finding new uses for this relative newcomer among woods from tropical America. "Of all the woods used In com merce, balsa Is the lightest. Picture a man nonchalantly balancing a log of It, two feet In diameter and 12 feet long, on his shoulder, and you get some Idea of how little balsa weighs." says a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geo graphlo society. Balsa Mostly Air "A laborer might stagger under even a smalt log of walnut, each cubic foot of which weighs 67 pounds; but he could handle with one hand balsa logs 30 feet long. Al though Inferior balsa sometimes weighs as much aa 18 pounds per cubic foot, the best balsa averagee only about seven and a half pounds, or about half the weight of cork. "Approximately 92 per cent of balsa wood is air. Tne rest consists ol large, thin -walled cells containing the air. It has a spongy texture and Is so soft one can dent It with his fingernail. It feels velvety and looks rather silky, resembling pine or bass wood. It is white, or tinged with pale red or brown. "The wood weighs less than cork, and Is stronger and generally less brittle. Cut from the trunk and limbs of the tree, It can be had In large, thick pieces. "Much of the balsa that finds Its way to the United States factories Is Imported from Uosta Rica. There one sees the Ideal tree. Its smooth trunk of mottled gray and white rising tall and straight, Its few limbs bearing large leaves, often 14 inches across. From a distance the tree might be taken for a North American cotton- wood. Not Allowed to Mature "Balsa Is the 'child prodigy' of the forest, growing more rapidly than al most any other tree, often shooting up 30 feet In a single year. 'Easy come, easy go,' seems Its motto. For, untreated, It deteriorates quickly, crumbling away like a cotton fabric It decays so completely that one seldom comes aoross a balsa stump In tropical forests. The logs must be shipped immediately after felling, The lumberjack who fells a tree and returns a week later to remove It will probably find his tree dry and attacked by horers, or warped by moisture and exposure. "Because the wood absorbs water readily, lumbermen customarily give It a hot paraffin bath. This adds little to the weight, but waterproofs the cells. "Although occasional balsa trees are found in primeval forests, usually they spring up In the rich earth of lowlands and foothills only after the ground has been cleared. They are raised successfully In plantations that are kept well weeded. Weeding Is essential, as young balsa trees are so tender that vines easily strangle them. "Balsa trees are seldom allowed to reach their maximum size. After about four to six years of rapid growth, they are felled, cut Into logs, and hauled by oxen to railroads or mills. A few more years' growth might see them attain their full height, but, as they age, their wood becomes leas porous and less valu able commercially. Trees 0 or 10 years old are usually too heavy to find a sale. "For centuries South American na tives have made rafts of balsa logs. From their use, early Spanish colo nists gave to the wood the name 'balsa, meaning raft.

It is made Into everything from hat molds In New York to shoulder poles for carrying burdens In the West In dies, Designers of portable theatrical scenery hall It with delight. A tug on a rope hauls a balsa 'stone wall easily up Into the files, out of reach until tha next performance. A come dun doesn't even blink when hit with a 'brick' made of painted balsa.

It bobs on waves In life preservers; It la built Into llfeoats, where It serves in place or air tanks; It Is fashioned Into decoys and water chairs. Swimmers ride the surf on balsa aquaplanes, while children play with toy cruisers and airplanes made ef balsa. "Airplane passengers may thank kalaa fer qu4eter rides. In cabins lined with this sound-proofing wood, they talk undisturbed by excessive engine noise. Factory owners Isolate their heavy machinery with balsa to eliminate din and vibration. Radio manufacturers use It In loud speakers to bring out more clearly the low notes that are so difficult to repro duce. "Pianos and fine furniture arrive with fewer scratches because their shipping crates are lined with a buf fer of this spongy, resilient wood.
