HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE
Mstal 10 Rolled Into a Ribbon and
Pen Shapes Are Cut Out ~
Machinery.

The tiny tip Of white metal seen on
the under side Of the point Of gold
pen may be Of platinum, but It is more
likely to BE- iridium. Iridium Is very
hard metal and 1t is expensive; It
costs about four times as much as
gold. The purpose Of the iridium tip
is, Of course, to give the pen a more
durable tip.
The gold pen maker buys his gold
at the assay once in bars Of pure "a
karat gold, which he melts and alloys
with his silver and copper to the do
gree OF fneness required. Gold Of IA
karats Is used in the manufacture Of
the best American gold pens. that be-
ing the degree Of fneness deemed
most suitable for pen use; but good
pens made in this country for sale in
France are made of IS karats, the
French government requiring that all
articles exposed for sale in that coun-
try as gold shall be Of not less than
IS karats.
The gold from which the pens are
to be made is rolled and rerolled until
what was originally thick. heavy bar
of gold has been rolled into thin
gold ribbon about three feet In length
by four inches wide. Then this gold
ribbon Is put into machine which
stamps out of 1t pen shapes, all still
fiat. Then on the tip Of each Of these
pens is fused the iridium point, and
then the shapes go to a Sitting ma
chine, which cut the slit in the pen.
From this Sitting machine the pens
60 through another, which gives them
their rounded, familiar pen form, and
then the pens are ground and polish
ed and finished ready for use.
American gold pens in fountain pens
or as dip pens are sold In every coun'
try in Europe in competition with pens
Of British or of German manufacture,
and under the same competition they
are sold throughout the world. In
South America. Africa, Japan, China,
wherever pens are used.

STAGE MARRIAGES

In war material alone are stupendous.
The path Of the retreating Turkish
troops has been marked by murder.
mutilation, pillage, devastation, and
arson. The Bashi Bazouks burned 2v
villages in the Janina district. Ar
nauts have assassinated the peaceful
Greek inhabitants-men, women ana
children-at Janina, and the arch
priest is among the slain. Arta is
full OF refugees in pitiable condition.
Similar atrocities are reported in the
western districts of Epirus.
Servian officers from kratovo ana
Egri Palanka also report incredible
cruelties committed by Turks on tho
Christian population. They related
with the greatest emotion horrible de-
tails OF the scenes they Witnessed.
Wherever the Turks had passed the
Servian troops found corpses lying
acknowledgement bodies OF women
and men and children, with their
eyes gouged out.
Women, il is alleged by the Ser
VANS, were violated and shamefully
mutilated while they were still alive.
Corpses Of men who had been burned
alive were found tied to trees, and Ia
one case body bore traces OF hay-
ing been roasted on gridle.

prisoners. The Servians lost i,00v
killed and 500 wounded.
A large proportion OF the Turkish
loss was due to the splendid work OIL
the Servian artillery, which had de-
cisive effect on the result of the battle
by its deadly and accurate fire. Ser
Wan gunners already had high repu-
tation. but the manner In which they
were handled In this battle places
them amongst the best artillery In
Europe.
The devotion of an old peasant
woman saved the troops from q dan.
gerous ambuscade at Kumanovo.
When the Servians approached the
town 1t was apparently deserted, bur
houses were filled with Basht Bazouks,
bitter enemies OF the Servians. These
irregulars intended to wait till the
Servians entered the street, and then
fire on them from the houses. The
old peasant woman escaped, and made
her way to the Servian advanced
guard, and told the commandant.
The troops halted, and guns were
brought up and shelled the place.
Taken completely by surprise, the
enemy fed across the plain, pursued
by the artillery fire, which cut them
down by scores. The enmity of the
Albanians against the Servians Is In
conceivable, and the Turks brought
thousands Of them to Kumanoyo for
this reason. e@sa s1a
In thursdays fight there were
many Instances Of hand-to-hand en-
counters between Servian soldiers
and Bashi Bazouks The latter Meth
er give nor take quarter. but always
fight to the death. AS an instance or
this deadly feeling may me1Htion a
case where Servian and Bashi-
Bazouk were found dead together,
with their knives in each others
hearts and their hands gripping their
throats.
The Servian cavalry division. COM
mandcd by Prince Arsene, made fine
flank march on Thursday. They came
up on the right rear of the Turkish
force, who thought they were part OF
the second Servian army. The Turk
ish right wing broke and fed. pur-
sued by Prince .Arsene's cavalry. The
Turks threw away their arms ana
everything, and the Servian horsemen
rode through them again and again,
till the troopers were weary with
slaughter.
Terrible stories are told by the In
habitants Of a neighboring city OF
Ushub about the scenes there after
the battle OF Kumanovo. The Turkish
soldiers rushed to one railway sta
ton and fought like flends for places
in the trains going down the Adrian
ople railway, bayonetting and shoot
Ing each other to secure places In the
carriages. Large numbers unable to
find room In the trains crossed the
river Vardar and fed through the
mountains towards Monastir without
officers, cohesion, or the semblance or
an army.
Everywhere along the roads Ser
Wan cavalry patrols are finding guns,

Democracy and Prosperity

One Of the most hopeful signs Of

patch, developed in the late political
campaign. Heretofore = presidential
campaign has had the effect Of check-
ing the progress Of business and hold
Ing the industries to some extent st .
standstill. The presidential camp
aign just closed has been notable
exception to this rule. 1t seems that
the American people have At last
made up their minds that ''business's
can thrive and prosper during . presi-
DENTAL contest ~ well as At any other
time, ~ the past year has been one
Of very unusual prosperity.
1t was very evident ever since Gov
ernor Wilson WAS nominated that he
would be Overwhelmingly elected,
and during all the months from June
to election day, with steadfast A.
surance that Wilson would be the
next president, the business OF tho
country hos made most substantial
progress and confidence has reigned
everywhere. This is due to the fact
that the business men Of the country
realize that while Mr.. Wilson 10 .
determined reformer and progressive.
he is above all eminently safe and
sane" and the country may look for
ward to an era Of splendidid prosper
ity under his administration. :.
