ing the other back. cut as long a thread
as may be required, tying another knot
to keep the needles from falling OF.
When one needleful of thread has been
used the empty needle may be stuck in
Il pincushion and another needle taken
from the spool. and so on. When all
the needles have been. used some one
should thread the whole lot again.

tho Manufacturer and Waste OF
Money to Town-GeneraI Appearance
Of the Community Suffers.
The smoke nuisance is beginning to
be recognized as n of the greatest
civic problems confronting the mod
ern industrial community. says DR.. r.
G. Benner in the American City.
Why this crime of our cities is not
remedied. when so doing would result
in profit to all concerned. is a question
that can be answered by" the two
words. ignorance and carelessness.
There is. of course. the xcu that
in this case the damage done is OBJ
scure and difficult to prove in a tangible
way. But as scientific studies of the
problem are made the injurious effects
Of smoke are gradually becoming more
clearly defined and publicly recognized.
There is Il crying need for the educa-
,tion of the public along smoke lines.
They need to know that soft coal can
be burned without smoke with profit
to the consumer, and they need like
wise to know the damage smoke does
in dollars and cents to the residents of
a smoky city.
1t has been proved by the best me
chanical engineers and government
bureaus that the emission Of black
smoke means waste of fuel. Many
men who have been compelled to make
installations of the proper kind for
the abatement Of smoke say that such
improvements have been big dividend
payers from the start. In fact. the
loss to the producer of the smoke nui-
sance forms the largest single item in
our budget. This in Pittsburgh amounts
to nearly 100000 per year.
One cannot reckon in figures the loss

who are called upon to travel about to
