ENEMY DROPPED BOMBS
 ON FRANCO-AMERlCAN LINE

With the American Army on the Vesle, Aug. 14-(By A. P.1-From one end to the other of the F'ranco-Am- erican line between Soiss0ns and Rheitls and far into the back areas the Germans dropped bombs from the air before daylight today The re- nlainder of the day was confined to a sluggish reciprocal artillery duel.
 Not since the German retreat halt ed have there been aerial raids of the magnitude of the one today. The Am ericans stood up well under the bom- bardment. The front line was pound- ed and almost every village and the roads between were subjected to the b0mbaTdment, but the great number Of fombs fell on unoccupied ground This was taken to indicate that the German oirmen were striking more or less blind1y Allied anti aircraft guns hampered the enemy somewhat
 The preg!nt German lire, which is still regarded as only a temporary one depends upon a defence of machine guns and airplanes. The enemy has concentrated machine guns at about one every fifty yards, a density rarely effected. Their aerial defence relative ly is far superior to any established hitherto on this front.

WHO MAKES NEEDLES?

Not the United States. We make thousands of things and we have added the manufacture of great many others since the war began, but. al though we make sewing machine needles and alarming needles, the little sharp sewing needle come to us from over the seas.
 England has always led the world in needlemaking, and Japan and Ger many began to make needles not more than ters years ago. Scotland fur nishes the steel wire from which they are made and English needle factories cut the wire into pieces that are twice the length of the needle to be made. Bundles of these lengths, 10000 to the bundle, are put into a furnace which takes the temper out of the steel. Then the lengths are rolled till they are straight, when they go to a machine which grinds each end to point, After that the eyeing machine punches two holes in the center of the piece of
