observation to the jail attendant who
brought him the news:

Where Do All the Hair Pins Go To?


Has the housewife ever asked herself
the question, How much do I spend on
pins in year, and how many pins have
l wasted during that time?"
In England every day there is ap out
put of over 100000 pins Birmingham,
the greatest center of the industry in this
country, alone produces $4,000 900 pins per
day. The output of other pin manufac-
turers in this country is only about half
that of Birmingham In France the daily
production is 20,0o0,0o0, while Germany and
Holland produce 100000 per day. The
total output for Europe each day is, there
fore, S4000,000.
1t is seldom that a pin gets broken or
worn, and the question is, therefore,
Where do all the pins go tor" The
greater number of them get lost, and
there is no other domestic article where
there is so much waste by loss. If every
person in Europe lost pin on every
third day the daily loss would represent
over $1,000.
In former days the number of men re-
quired to make a pin was one of the
marvels of the manufacturing world, but
as with most other manufacturing prod
ucts, machinery has taken the place of
men, and pins are now produced yery
much faster.
The machines are so perfect that they
cut the wire of which the pins are made
into pieces of the right length, head, point.
polish and sort them. They are then put
into another machine, which affixes them
to paper at the rate of 5000 to 100000 per
hour
In the fourteenth century pins were
pins! They were not carelessly lost as
nowadays. or given as a substitute for a
farthing change. The law permitted that
they should only be sold on the first two
days of January each year, in order that
they might not become too common. 1t
therefore became the custom for ladies'
off all classes to buy their years stock
of pins on these days. and the money
given them for this purpose by their hus-
bands or fathers was known as pin
money"-a phrase that has survived to
the present day.

MOVING PICTURE CENSORS
HAVE THEIR TROUBLES

panied by their teacher, every other
morning during the school week. He
went over the curriculum with the teach
er. paying especial attention to history
and geography. Then he went to New
York. and after a struggle with represen-
tatives of the various exchanges. returned
with a quantity of films illustrating
reading about and introducing great per-
sonages that the history class had been
trying to get acquainted with through the
medium of text books.
Everybody was pleased. The moving
picture man was happy because he was
securing bit of free advertising and at
the same time was helping the children
along; the teacher was happy because it
was much easier to tell the children
about George Washington and the other
great men of history. or about the rivers
of Siam, when the actual George, or the
actual rivers. were there before their
eyes in living guise: and the children
were happiest of all to find that going
to school and going to the movies" cou-a
so easily be combined.
That was the first forward. It remained
for the national board to spread broad
cast the idea and to exercise gentle
pressure on the hard hearted exchange
men, so that schools and colleges every
where could find it easier to secure educa-
tional films of the kind they wanted. And
after a while the exchange men began to
see the advantages of the new idea. Films
that had gone the regular round and had
been slowed away to be seen no more
could be resurrected and put before new
audiences for new lease of life; that 49,
provided they possessed educational value.
Then 1t became clear that of two films,
almost alike in cost. one Of which was
aimed to amuse and the other to amuse
and instruct as well, the latter was con-
siderably more valuable, because 1t would
have a longer life. And so the per-
centage of films of the second class is
steadily increasing, but it has not been
encouraging.

canvas tent at East End park on the
subject of socialism. In spite of the rain,
there were several hundred people who
heard the two argue and debate on one
or the most important questions today
before the American people.
There appeared little doubt among the
non-partisan members of the audience,
but that Mr.. Bede carried off the honors
of the evening. Mr.. Seidel is a very earn
est and sincere man, but he is not gifted
as public speaker. The cause for which
ne appeared came off the battlefield
rather the worse for wear for the recep-
ton given it by the able ex-congress-
man from Minnesota.
The entertainment was launched last
night by several numbers from the
Weatherwax male quartet, both vocal and

from the audience and they displayed

Lease for Thousand Years

From Case and Comment.
Probably the longest lease in recorded
legal history, and the only one OF its
kind, certainly. in this country, is that
held on the property at 60 Court street,
corner of Cornhill. Boston. This lease
has just been compromised In order to
clear title to the property. According to
the terms of this extraordinary lease. ex-
ecuted in 1917 the rent must be paid in
Russia old sables iron." to be delivered
on the premises 'in four quarterly yearly
payments" The first was due March l.
1877. The lease was given originally by
David Sears to Uriah Cotting. and one
of Its provisions stipulated that in case
he fell in arrears the Lessee should pay
the pounds of Russia old sables iron for
every day of delinquency. Once there was
a dispute over the price of the iron ,e-
tween the lessor and lessee, and Cotting
dumped the whole 10 tons In front of the
Beacon street house." in which Sears
lived. The two men were brothers-in-law,
but they became involved In much trouble
on account of the stipulation of this
lease.
