A Few Words About Pins.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


The pin referred to by your cores
pendent IN Saturdays Star is simply the
old-style pin that was in common use down
to about 1895. and even later. 1 remember
we'll when youth residing in central New
York, how in trying to push the pins with
the coiled wire heads through thick or
starched cloth the head would not infre-
Quently slip down on the pin, causing the
thumo to be punctured by the blunt end.
In the time of Henry VIII, A. d. l543 an
act was passed in England providing that:
mo person shall put to sale any pin1ies,
but only such as shall be double headed.
and have the heads soldered fast to the
shank Of the pinne, well smoothed, the
shank we'll shaver, the point we'll and
rounded filed. canted and sharpened"
time brass pins were mentioned, prohibited
their introduction into England, these acts
evidently being for the protection of En-
glish manufacturers, the policy of England
at that time and for many years thereafter
being to protect, encourage and build up
her domestic manufactures policy which
she now so strongly condemns in other
nations, since she has hers SO established
that with their cheap labor they can pro-
duce cheaper than her competitors can.
A patent was granted to w. F. Hill of
New York for making pins and needles in
L. Morse Of Boston the same year, and to
J. 1. Howe of Connecticut in ISL besides
others at different times.
The solid-headed pin, or the machine for
making 1t, was invented by Wright in 1924.
In this machine the wire was drawn from
reel by a pair Of pincers, a hinged Jaw

to the pointing apparatus, where it is held
by a rotary carrier that holds it on a file
