WHERE DO PINS Coz
The Story of Iron Rust-Its Value to tn
World.

Every year thousands of pins. weary
ing of their endless jobs of clutchins
madly at unsewed hems, or frantic eff
forts to join independent waists anC
skirts, decide to end it all, and take :;
final dive into oblivion. What become
of all the pins? What. indeed. become
of all the rails, the barbcd wire fences
discarded ships. and ears, and crumpIed
up machines for which the junk ma,
finds no uses? The end of all iron is
the same.
Since the days of Tubal-cain, man ha
been busily at work trying to solve the
problem. This instructor of workers il

whereby iron rust is held at bay.
Every year the blast furnaces of tn
world release 72000,000 tons of iror
from its oxides, and every year about 2
quarter of that amount returns to il

lungs to be expelled as carbonic aci6
gas, so chemical reaction takes place
whenever iron meets with moist air, and
though this union goes by various cog
nomens in the meteorological and cbemi
cal worlds, in plain language ii is called
iron rust, and to prevent that reaction
has been mans effort since he first dis
covered iron.
