Doubling up frame tubes seems 10 be
increasing in popularity in England.
Front forks are made double, the ends
being connected at crown and tip; rear
forks are doubled on the chain side. and
in some cases on both sides. and the
lower frame tube s(from crank hanger
to bottom ball race of head) is some
times made double part way and coca
sionally all the way. By such means
very great rigidity can be secured. ....
An odd method of determining the
amount TO be allowed for a machine
to be taken in trade is used by an Eng
lish concern. They figure that three
shiilings a week is a fair allowance for
the use person makes of a q wheel.
They then ascertain how long the ma
chine has been used. multiply the num-
Der of weeks by. three and deduct the
result, in shillings, from the original
cost of the wheel. Whatever is left is
the amount to be allowed for it.
Nine-tenths of all the sewing ma
chimes used throughout the world are
made in the United States.
In Maine there are II spool factories,
and The white birch trees Of that state
annually supply the material for 30O,-
C00,CO0 spools.
A patent has been obtained by a
st. Louis inventor for typesetting ma
chine to be operated by hand. 1t is in
tended for country newspapers and will
do the work Of two men.
An expert on tools says that the best
way to get the right temper for chisel
which is to be used on steel is O temper
IT first as you think about right. Then
lay il across the corner Of the anvil and
hammer the point, breaking it as often
as, II will break, and then, when YOU
can break IL no more, grind IL, and that
will be the best temper TO hold it's edge
and not break.

The Junior rlechanics,

1t is said that the state charter
suspension of the Junior Order
United American Mechanics, who are
strong in this county, will not affect
the subordinate Councils in any way
at present.
The national organization is bound
under the rules of the order to take
action in the matter within thirty
days, but before the expiration of
that time it is thought that a special
session of the Council will be held to
order the per capita tax paid under
protest.
According to a dispatch from
Scranton, the scene of the recent
rupture, it appears that had the
national officers deferred hasty action,
trouble might have been averted. 1t
is stated that one of the delegates
had a resolution in his pocket which
recommended the payment of the per
capita tax under protest, and it was
the intention of the 'antisn to defeat
the committees recomm endation, as
they did, but not to abandon it en-.
tirely.
1t is strongly maintained by many
delegates that the charge OF in.
subordination was premature, and
that when the matter is presented to
the national judiciary in the proper
light the decision is bound to be in
favor of the State Council.
This view, says the Lebanon Re
port, is strengthened by the fact that
the charges were not specified, and
unless the national officers can show
good cause for their action they will
not be sustained in suspending the
charter before the convention had
finally adjourned.
Charges have been made that the
State Council officers and the National
officers had an understanding and
that the present trouble was fore
seen. The outcome of the matter
is being watched with the greatest
interest all over the United s .ates, a,
Pennsylvania is the great Junior
Mechanic stronghold Of the country
Some of the more radical member
of the order point out that the Stat,
Council is an incorporated body, auC
can operate under the title Of the
Junior Order United American Me
chanics without consulting the
National Council, and as the Penn
sylvania membership comprises
nearly two-thirds Of the whole
National body it is a question in theil
minds whether it is not advisable tC
remain independent.

tinues to grow in October and No
yember as it has in the last thirty
days a car famine will exist on every
road in the country. This, they say,
means that earnings will continue to

years The famine will likely result
in a faster freight schedule all over
the country, which may be retained
after the supply of cars has been in
