PINS MADE BY THE MILLION

In England every day there il an
output OF over 54.000.000 pins. Biz.
mingham. the greatest center OF the
industry. alone produces 37.000.o0o
pins per day. The output of other pin
manufacturers In England is only
about half that of Birmingham. In
France the daily production is 10000
900, while Germany and Holland pro-
duce 10000. 900 per day. The total out
put for Europe each day is. therefore.
81. .000, 900.
1t is seldom that pin gets broken
or worn. and the question is. there
fore, Where do all the pins go tot"
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 a pin
on every third day the daily loss would
represent over 5000.
In former days the number of men
required to make pin was one of the
marvels of the manufacturing world.
but as with most othHf manufacturing
products. machinery has taken tho
place OF men. and pins are now pro-
duced very 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 10000 to 100000 per
hour.
In the fourteenth century pins were
pins! They were not carelessly lost
as nowadays. or given as a substitute
for farthing change. The law per-
mitted that they should only be sold
on the first two days of January each
year. in order that they might not be-
come too common. 1t therefore became
the custom for ladies' OF all classes
to buy their years stock of pins on
these days. and the money given them
for this purpose by their husbands or
fathers was known as pin money
a phrase that has survived to the pres
ent day.

Despondent Lover Uses Dynamite
Cap In an Attempt to End His

Colville. Wash.-John Bechler, a
blacksmith and homesteader of Crys-

trail near the home of David Steel,
farmer. living In White Lake. six
miles east OF Colville. An examina-
ton disclosed the fact he had appar-
emily exploded a dynamite cap with
suicidal intent.
Last fall he went to Pennsylvania to
visit his sweetheart, whom he discov-
cred through correspondence agen-
cy. He said he had received assur-
ance as soon as he accumulated
enough money they would be married
He has been sending her money, it
said, at the rate of s25 month, and
more as his means would permit. from
his earnings as blacksmith, but for
several weeks he has not heard from
her and the silence worried him. APP
parently he lay down. placed the dyna-
mite cap attached to a fuse under his
head, applied the match and awaited
results.
Almost the whole side Of his head
was blown off. He was unconscious
when found.
He has no relatives here. but came
from the east about six years ago and
took up homestead. He was taken
to the Colville sanatorium.

REASONS, SHE SAYS
Actress Wife Gives Is ReaS-
ons Why She Should Be
Divorced.
National News Association

NEW YORK, March 27.-A bakers
dozen of reasons were given by Mrs.
May Silver in explaining why she
should be granted alimony and sepa-
ration decree from Lester Silver.
Through her attorney, Norman P. S.
Schloss. she applied to Justice Hen
drick for an allowance.
She says she gave up a career on
the stage for matrimony, but that Mr.
Silver has never appreciated her sacri-
fee. Here are her reasons for desiring
the separation:
Her husband said he was an idiot
for marrying her.
He emptied box of oatmeal over
her head.
He delighted in jerking pillows from
under her head in bed.
He told her the meals were not
good.
He laughed as he dumped her cocoa
in the sink.
He took her to only three places
during their three years of married
life. viz, Coney Island, a confirmation
party and to Pabst's.
He would not let her relatives visit
her.
He threatened to commit suicide if
she left him.
He showed her large roll of mo-
ney, but gave her only s. a week.
He occasionally chastised her.
He didn't want her sisters in his
home.
He made such a row at home that
the neighbors were attracted.
He told her he didn't care for her.
Mrs. Silver says she was always ia
dy-like." She also says her husband is
very wealthy" having an express bus
mess with offices at % Eldridge street
and Walker street.
Mr.. Silver denies he is wealthy. He
says he owns two horses worth about
5000 and wagon that wouldn't bring
more than SIS at auction.
