Ankles in China

T,HE Departments Of Commerce informs
J. our manufacturers of hosiery that the
women's stockings they make are not suit
able for the Chinese market, because the
ankles are too big. Chinese ladies have
more slender ankles than American women.
Nature does not build the Chinese woman
that way. 1t is the practice Of foot-bindins
that does it. The process interfercs with
the circulation of the blood in the W
part of the leg, and the result is a partial
atrophy. Hence the slimness of Chinese
ladies' ankles.
The Imperial Government of China, not
long before it was ousted from power, issued
an edict forbidding the binding Of the feet
of female children. This ukase was con.
frmed later on by the Government of the
Chinese Republic. But it has been wholly
Ineffective.
Fashion is stronger than law. If our
own Federal Government were to declare the
wearing of silk stockings unlawful, Ameri-
can women would pay no attention to the
prohibition. Not even a constitutional
amendment would deter them.
In China crippled and deformed feet
are the distinguishing mark of a lady, and
any woman of the so-called upper class
who had ''big feet' would be regarded as
socially impossible.

ally the buttons are conveyed in buckets or
boxes to. the sorting room, where they are
sorted according to qualities and grades and
sewed to suitable cards for packing in boxes,
ready to be sold.

THE supply of buttonholes in this country
= will never exceed the supply :of but

Government has never taken a census Of but

that the value of all buttons produced in

$4,000 900. This represents several Bill
lions of buttons. Y
The fresh water ,mussel, the lowly clam of
the old swimming hole, is the largest single
source of buttons in this country. Something
like Is 1000 tons of clam shells are. used
annually in the manufacture of more than
@,000;0W gross 81 pearl buttons, which, at

shells are also used in the manufacture Of

die or lever for gradually forcing the rough
shell against the rapidly rotating saw. The
shell is sheld in position either by prongs or
BY the hand protected with. a mitten. Sue
cessive blanks as they are cut are. crowded
through the tubular saw to fall into a recep-
tacle below. The sizes of the buttons are
determined by the inner diameter OF the cut
ting end of the saw, and they range from
about ,.one-third of an inch to- one inch IN
diameter +; In novelty works buttons up to
AN inch and a half OF. larger are made.
Before going to, the, finishing machines. the
blanks are usually. passed through four IN
termediate processes. First; they are passed
through. a blank classifer, where, by falling
between rollers, they are separated into DIFF
.ferent lots according to thickness. Next, they
are placed in tumblers, consisting of heavy
and slowly revolving barrels of iron or wood.
in which they are. churned with water and
rumice stone to clean them and remove any
possible rough. edges. The blanks are then
ready for the grinder, a machine fitted with.
an emery. wheel, which grinds away the
horny backs and reduces the blanks to a
uniform thickness. Finally the blanks are
g again soaked in to"be ssoftened for tire
q finishing machine. They are then ready for
the essential processes Of button making,
which are accomplished by an automatic
machine of comparatively recent invention
and of very ingenious design. ~
The blanks are fed by hand into depres-
sions in the tops of vertical chucks, which
are arranged in series constituting an endless
chain. AS the chueks in the endless chain
pass around the circumference of the ma
chine each blank is automatically operated
upon by various tools, and each tool is au-
i. tomatically sharpened and prepared for the
succeeding blank. The processes accom-
plished in the machine consist in rounding
the edges and carving out the center in the

ton reservoir in the world-an artificial
lake covering sixty--three, square miles and
averaging seventy feet in depth. The water
contained in this reservoir would cover
the whole State Of Connecticut to a depth
of ten inches.
Development of similar works on the
headwaters Of the Arkansas River would
not only prevent future floods, f,but. would
store water for irrigating hundreds of thou
