When gasoline is employed universally to in

we may look for vastly increased production

PINS ARE SCARCE

From the New York Evening SUM
Pins, medium-sized pins, are scarce. A
downtown retail stationer, having an or
der for six pounds Of No. or NO. pms
tried without success to get them from
jobbers He was told that here were
none in the market. The No and NO.
pins are the medium sizes, such as are
used for fastening papers together. They
come generally in half pound boxes
Vt is only about a century since the
manufacture of pins by machinery be-
gan. Before that time they were ham
mered out by hand, and. of course, were
much more costly than now. The earliest
pin undoubtedly was thorn. but bone
and bronze pins have been found in pre-
historic ruins
In 1917 the first patent for the making
of pins by machinery was granted, and
SINCE then there have been many i'm
provements. The first machine made pins
had heads separate from the shanks. the
head being fastened on with a wire.
BY the newer methods the solid head
pin Is made in one piece Wire of a suit
able gauge is run off a reel and is nipped
between Jaws. The piece of wire Is head
ed by a die and pointed by revolving
cutter, The pins so made are cleaned
by boiling and are laid In copper pan
with alternate layers of grained tin. The
contents of the pan are sprnkled with
argol (bitartrate of potash) and boiled
for six hours. the pins thus becoming
coated with tin. They are then washed
dried and polished in abarrel containing
bran.

BUSY DAY IN COURT
Variety of Cases Disposed Of by Judge
IRdd

Thursday was another very busy day
in City Court. and from morning until
late in the afternoon the time was
occupied with a variety of cases.
The cases which attracted the most
attention We're those resulting from the
arrest of Charles Mahr. a taxicab driver,
and his wife, along with some others VINO
were found to be responsible for depior-
able condition of affairs in the northern
part OF the city. The prosecution of Mahr
was the first under new law, which
provides for the punishment of anyone
who is responsible for the encouragement
Of prostitution. Mahr was sentenced to
not less than 10 nor more than II months
in the House of Correction. Mahr pleaded
not guilty but was found guilty on trial.
Mrs. Esther Mahr. wife of Charles. was
sentenced to not less than II nor more
than u months in the House Of Correc-
ton, following her conviction Of aiding
and abettng prostitution. She also
pleaded not guilty, but was found guilty.
Nellie Coburn, girl who was transported
by Mahr, was sentenced to not less than
six months nor more than two years fol-
lowing her plea of guilty to adultery.
The Coburn girl is less than 20 years Of
age, but Is married and her arrest on
charge of adultery led to the investiga-
authorities TO clean up the conditions
which were found to exist.
Josephine Blair. 81 years OF age and the
mother of five children. pleaded guilty
to the charge OF knowingly allowing her
dwelling to be used as a place of prosti-
tuition She was sentenced to not less
than 10 nor more than IL months in the
House of Correction, but was placed In
the hands of Probation Officer George
Agel and sentence was suspended. One
of the conditions of her parole is that
she move out of her present residence on
First street within a reasonable time,
when che can procure quarters. States
Attorney Martin had charge of the prose-
cution of all these cases.
Other cases which We're disposed of in
court were those of Patrick MCGOWAN.
Henry Sanderson and Joseph Austin. The
three men were arrested following a row
over a crap game. MCGOWAN and San
derson pleaded guilty to breach of the
peace and Austin to lntoxcation. All
three were fined s. 90 and costs. and made
| arrangements to pay.
| Ruth Peters, a l5-year-old girl, was
/ found guilty of being an incorrigihle
child, and was sentenced to spend the re-
mainder of her minority at the Industrial
School In Vergennes. The evidence tended
! to show that the girl. whose home was
| in Bristol before she came to Burling-
| ton, was unmanageable and persisted In
staying out nights.
| James Ancoco was sentenced to not
| less than five nor more than IL months

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
July Figures Show Increase in Bushes,
Done by burlington Concerns


The Increase in the business being done
py the manufacturers and jobbers of
Burlington is shown by the fact that
from the terminal station during the
month of July. $40 freight cars were
loaded from the railroad warehouse alone.
these shipments of hundreds of tons were
all made up of what is known as pack
ago freight. In addition to this, there
were handled by the local staff Of rail-
road men an average of rs cars a day,
which were taken from the sidings. where
they mad been loaded by the shipping con-
Germs. This amount Of business Is big
increase on what Burlington has done in
the past at this season Of the year.
Within the past two years Burlington
has developed into a considerable fruit
jobbing center. and because this city has
been extremity fortunate In tho manage
ment of its railroad facilities, the fruit
jobbing men have been enable to enlarge
their field OF operations so that. whereas
n few years ago Boston did a large part
of the fruit jobbing business in Vermont.
1t Is now to a very large extent handled
by Burlington companies. Tho Burlington
people have also secured big hold on
northern New York, which was formerly
taken care of by the big city companies.
A boom in the wholesale grocery and
fruit business followed closely the in
auguration of the warm car service in
the winter months. Then another thing
which helped this city is that no freight
stays on a track In Burlington for "a
hours unless held there by a blizzard or
wreck. While almost every other
terminal in the country has had trouble
In handling freight, this city doesn't know
what trouble from that source is, and
during the rush period recently between
IS and 35 wagons and automobiles have
been unloaded at one time in the freight
yard, or have at the worst been unloaded
with IL delay Of less than Is minutes to
any one truck.
