Perhaps the most novel use to
which bread is put may be seen in the
great watch factories at Elgin. ILL.,.
where more than 40 lOaves OF fresh
bread are required each day. Super
intendent George f. Hunter of the
watch factory IL quoted as saying:
From the earliest time in the his
tory OF matchmaking IL has been the
custom Of watchmakers to reduce
fresh bread to the form OF dough This
Is done by steaming and kneading.
They then use this dough for remov.
ing oil and chips that naturally ad-

pieces as small as the parts OF a
watch. There are many parts OF

as TO be barely visible to the naked
eye. The oil Is absorbed by this
dough and the chips stick TO it and
there is no other known substance
which can be used as a wiper without
leaving some Of its particles attached
