Where Pins Go.
For many years the world has been
baffled by the problem OF where the
pins go that are turned out in mil
lions and millions OF the pin factor
les.
But the problem seems to have
been solved at last A paris scientist.
DR.. Xavier. has been experimenting on
pins hairpins and needles by the sim
pie process OF watching a few. He
states that they practically disappear
into thin air by changing into ferrous
oxide, a brownish rust that soon
blows away in dust
An ordinary hairpin took only 154
days 10 blow away. A steel rib lasted
just under fifteen months. A COM
mon pin took eighteen months TO van
ish. A polished steel needle defied
the ravages OF the atmosphere long
est. taking two and q half years to
disappear.
So the reason why the world Is no;
a foot deep in the pins II buys IS. it
seems. exactly the same which makes

phere without the protection Of paint

cross purposes in the very beginning
of the adjustment of the schoolbook
question there is hardly a doubt that
by the time the Legislature meets
next summer a hot time will have
been mapped out for that body's con-
sideration and attention
Conflict With Legislature.
Those who opposed the action of
the State board-Governor Slaton and
Superintendent Brittain-did so upon
the grounds that it would be unwise
and unseemly to take any action that
might be construed as a slap at the
Legislature, and that the wise thing
to do would be to extend the present
contracts until after the Legislature
had concluded its nvestigation-at
which time the contracts, If the Leg
islature thought fit. might be abro-
gated. and new contracts made
This, so they argued, would work to
best interests of the people, in that it
would save them money by warding
off possible unnecessary changes OF
books not to be made permanent, and
thus avoid confusion in many direc-
items.
Those who voted for the motion
that prevailed, however-Dr. Glenn,
Professors Moon and Woofter and Mr..
Steed-did so upon the theory that
there are some textbooks that should
be Immediately changed, and that 1t
would be unwise and unpatriotic to
put off such change. They declined,
moreover. to see anything like a slap
at the General Assembly in the ac-
ton taken.
The State Board has set October 25
as the day upon which new bids will
be. received, contemplating a five
year contract. subject to the cancel
lation right of the State. as stated.
High School Books.
The matter of high school books
and the boards right to provide a
uniform use of the same, was put up
to the Attorney General, to be acted
upon later as also was the question
of the boards right to make selec-
tions without submitting the same to
subcommittee of educators for APP
prevail
Representative McCrory, Of the
legislative committee, appeared be-
fore the State Board to talk about
State publication of books, his pet
hobby, but he did not speak at length,
the board desiring him to reduce his
arguments to writing.
There are those who see in the
present book muddla evidences Of
some big politics and political maneu-
vering. The relation of the State
School Board to the State admins
tration long has been a subject of
comment and criticism in Georgia,
there being two. sharply differentiat-
ed schools of thought with respect to
the same.
So far, the arguments have been
confined rather cleverly to apparent
patriotic purposes entirely, but the
politics of the row likely viii break
out from under the lid sooner or
later, and the entire schoolbook mess
may be dumped upon the Legislature
eventually for a thorough ventila-
ton.
