fastened the drill which did the Dor
ing. while the upper part of the spool
was fitted into a hole in a horizontal
piece of wood three feet long and two
inches square. This piece of wood
was clamped at one end to another
upright and stationary piece of wood,
while the other end was held by the
left hand Of the person drilling and
pressed against his chest. With his
right hand he worked the bow in such
fashion as to cause the spool to rotate
back and forth, few turns at a time,
thus working the drill and eventually
making a hole through the piece of
agate. Only through long practice
could a perfect hole be drilled in this
manner, and the process, as may be
imagined. was very tedious and in
volved much labor.
Agate is an exceedingly hard min
eral and the hardest variety comes
from certain volcanic regions in
Uruguay. 1t is imported to this coun-
try by the Chicago lapidary through
the American consul, who has 1t boxed
and shipped to Chicago, the raw stone
travelling some 5000 miles before they
reach the end of their journey. One
box will contain ten thousand dollars
worth of agate.
When shipment arrives the guide
maker examines each piece of stone
through a magnifying glass to locate
any flaws and determine the best and
most economical way Of cutting it into
slabs. A revolving circular steel knife
is then used to cut the piece of agate
into slabs about one-fourth of an inch
in thickness These slabs are then
cut up into smaller pieces about an
inch square. The small pieces are
then fitted into the machine for drill
ing the size of the drill used depend
ing upon the size of the guide to be
made.
When a hole is finally bored through
a piece of agate it is next ground into
a circular shape on grindstone by
hand. This grinding takes but few
seconds and the circular ring is then
given a more exact shape on another
grinding machine. The next step is to
bevel the sharp inner and outer edges
of the agate ring. Finally the rings
are polished and mounted in metal
holders, either as guides or tips, ready
to be fitted to fishing rods. The fin
lshed product is a delight to the an
gler's eye.
The guides on a rod, as all bait
casters know, are an important part
of its makeup. Fishing. as bait-cast-
ers fish, Is in no small part matter
G. mechanics. Rod. reel, line. leader
lure and hook are all essential parts
of a delicate machine which the angler
handles according to his skill-and
luck. This delicate machine is no
more efficient than its poorest part.
And rough, untrue, understood guides
can play the mischief with the eff
cheney and durability of this intricate
machine.

STELLA MARS" IS
 FEATURE TOMORROW

Playing a dual role, popular Mary Pickford will be seen in new Art craft feature tomorrow night at the Coliseum theater. Miss Pickford plays the title role of Stella Mar is" in film version of William J. Locke's celebrated novel, and also interprets the part of Unity Blake, an uncouth character who is in- troduced as an inmate of an orphan asylum.
 As Stella Maris, parlytic heir ess, surrounded by every luxury wealth can command, and protected from even the slightest knowledge of worldly things, the comparison with Unity Blake presents a start ling contrast. Later, when Stella Maris has her health restored and learns of the poverty, misery and crime existing in the world which ,her imagination has pictured as idyllic, it proves so strong shock that her life is threatened. Through an amazing chain of cir cumstances, the two girls--the Ugly Duckling and the beautiful Stella Maris--love the same man, and then comes supreme sacrifice, the giv. ing of Unity Blake's life for the man she loves and for Stella Maris 1 The portrayal of two characters so vastly different by Mary Pick ford stands as a wonderful achieve ment in screen art.
 Both story and acting are of tn; highest order and the feature come, to the Coliseum very highly recon Imended

MARRIAGE THREATENED.

Everything points to the near approach of general, deliberate and sustained attack on the Chris tian conception of marriage" de- clared the Bishop of Hereford in a recent address at Manchester ca thedral on New Ideas of Mar riage."
 "Thc war has lowered the pres tige of marriage in the thought of many people and visibly endangered it's character" said the bishop. "This has been accomplished partly by en- dowing women and girls with un- precedented independence and fore ing them into public prominence for which nothing in their previous careers had prepared them; most of all by shaking the whole fabric of civilized society and bringing into open question the accepted principle of social order, discrediting church es, breaking down authority, and forcing under ruthless criticism the most intimate and fundamental as sumptions of human conduct.

BEATING DOWN COSTS.

A number of important manufac- turing concerns in Pittsburgh are selling food and clothing at cost to their employees, in an effort to meet the advancing price of commodities.
 One company buys for it's work men every two weeks carload of hams and bacon This is shipped direct from the packer to the mill, and there sold to the men at cost, plus the transportation charge. The president of the company endorses it as one of the best things he has ever done for his men.
 Another concern has been supply ing many of it's mill and office em- ployes with canned goods, wearing apparel, including oycrcoats and shoes, and even chi!dren's shoes. The saving was such as to make the wage earners enthusiastic.
 Employees of another big manu facturing plant rented a store, stocked it with groceries, bought through use of the company's credit, and in few weeks were doing q business of $2,0O0 day. Only employees of the company can buy in the store. The priY to the buyer is first cost plus rent, tight, clerK hire. and freight.
 "We started with groceries" cx- plained the manager to core spondent of the Associated Press, but lately we have added such clothing as the men wear while at work. Soon we will have tailor shop for men's clothes. and next we are going to put in line of women's wear and such things as women must have around the house. I don't know how many of the company's 10000 workmen buy here, but I am sure we have among our customers at least one repre- sentative of every family"
 There is still one item, however in the living cost, from which many workers in the district can find nc relef-that of high rents. Work mems houses are scarce in every section of the district.
