CLOTHESPIN MACHINES.
What Happens When a Log of Wood Starts Through Them.

StdTts tHTVuSU buoH'
 Making clothespins is an industry that nets handsome returns to many American factories. At Martinsville, Ind. there is q factory which has a capacity of more than 100000 clothes pins day.
 A rough log started through the mill comes out as hundreds of the shapely little wooden pins familiar to the back yard. The logs are cut into blocks about sixteen inches long. which d headlong saw cuts into boards about five-cighths of an inch thick. A gang of saws cuts these boards into strips five -eighths of an inch square and each long enough to make four pins. These strips are placed on an automatic trimmer and cut to the required length They are then conveyed to the auto- matic lathes, seven in number. each with capacity of four dozen q min ute. From the lathes the pins drop to the slotting machines and from these to the dEyroom. where all mois- ture is removed. Next they go to the polishing cylinders, which are filed about half full of pins, chips and saw dust. The cylinders revolve slowly for four hours, after which the pins drop into chutes to be conveyed to the pack ing room. Each lathe has a capacity of 2.4OO dozen pins day.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Assistant Professor Charles T. Cope land had reproved his students for coming late to class. "This is q class ill English composition" he remarked. and added with sarcasm. "I'm not con ducting an afternoon tea"
 At the next meeting of the class one of the girls was twenty minutes late. Professor Copeland waited until she had traversed the room and found her seat. Then he remarked bitingly, "How will you have your tea, Miss BrOwn?"
 "Without the lemon, please" Miss Brown answered gently.-Lippincott's

STEEL PRODUCING
RECORDS BROKEN
Never Has Trade Seen Demand
So Overwhelming AS at
Present

Records for steel production that
have stood for years, fell during octo-
ber-and the increasing activity in
the iron and steel trades still con-
tinues, according to the weekly review
of the situation by the Iron Age. That
journal says:
Never has the steel trade seen de-
mand so overwhelming as at present
and at the same time output expand
ing on such q scale, under steadily ad-
vancing prices. The tide has risen
rapidly this week with increasing
signs of excitement.
In pig iron history October goes
down as the month in which the coun-
try,s yield first reached 5000, 900 tons
and the daily output crossed the 1O0,-
OOO-ton mark. When war order ton
nages of six figures are banded about
SO commonly, it is hard to believe that
the year opened with a daily pig iron
production of only $1,000 tons or half
what 1t is now.

pressure. The Pennsylvania has set

pany.
/ In recent weeks the railroads have
bought upward of 27,50O cars and as
many more will shortly be closed, the
latest inquiry being for 5000 for the
