SEWING WITH NEEDLES


We have spoken of the way sew
ing was done at the beginning ok the
Stone Age. There were no needles.
Holes were PUNCHED in skins by means
J of pointed stones. Animal tendons
were then pushed through and the
pieces we're tied together. ;
In later times bones were sharp
ened at one end and used for punching.
! the holes. d
Let us Now try to tell, the rest Of
the story as il may have HAPPENED,
In the latter part Of the Stones Age,.
there was q woman sitting sewing
in front of q large cave. She sllved
in this cave with her children, }hus-
band, brothers, sisters, uncles, cunts
and cousins. vi
This &emaR rwaSse nlote .tnoAghsIuI
| than the other women of her tribe.
On the day are speaking of, she
was sewing together skins whichwerc
to serve as clothes for her children,
Winter was drawing near, and she had
! decided to get them ready to with,
stand the cold. She punched the sharp
bone into the edges Of the skins, drew
it out again, then pushed the tendon
thread through the holes She said
70 herself:
"Well, well, 1t is u great bother
to have to do all this WORK to get these
pieces of skin together, L wish 4
knew an easier way"
Then the beginning Of an idea came
to her. She buried her head in her
hands. and for time was lost in
thought. Suddenly she sprang to her
feet, eXclaiming:
II have the idea. know what 10
do"
She ran into the cave and got her
husbands sharpest dagger from GER
tain hiding place.
Going where there was good light,
she punched a hole with the dagger
point, right in the center of the piece
of pointed bone she had been using
while sewing.
Next she put a piece Of cord-likc
/ thread in the hole she had made and
stuck the bone into one Of the skins.
The thread was carried right
through with the bone! A needle
had been invented,
Of course the needles were very
crude 1T first, but soon they were I'M
proved. Hundreds Of bone needles
have been found in caves Some of
these show the finest kind of work
manship. -Four Stone Age needles are
| pictured. FL.
Below are photographs Of needles
then used.

FORD BUILDS OWN
WINDSHIELD GLASS

The Ford Motor Company, Detroit,
has begun to manufacture its own
plate glass, and already has in oper-
alton the first modern glass house
ever equipped especially to make
glass for automobiles.
AS is customary when taking over
the manufacture of a new product,
Ford has applied his own principles
of production, and, as a consequence,
the methods and machinery used IN
making Ford glass are a radical de-
parture from established practice.
The Ford continuous conveyor system
features the operations so that from
the time the glass leaves the fur-
mace until it becomes polished wind
shield, it is always moving.
Glass making, when viewed IN the
+ ord plant, looks 10 be very simple.
The raw materials are introduced IN
to the furnace where they become a
molten mass. Drawn from the furnace
IN a Semi-liquid state, the glass pass
es under a roller, which gives 1t
width and thickness, and on to a NOV
ing conveyor. This carries it for 46l
feet thru a gradually cooling furnace
At the end, it is cut and placed ON
another conveyor which carries 1t
thrus the grinding and polishing, al
ter which 1t is ready for use.
This adds a new link to the fast
growing chain of Ford industries,
which are being established and eX-
banded from time to time in line with
the Ford policy to achieve complete
independence of outside material
sources in manufacturing Ford pro
ducts, and at the same time are the
means by which Ford is enabled to use
in the production Of motor cars
/ trucks and tractors material OF un-
usually high quality and sell them at
the famous Ford prices.

CARVINGS OLE THE STONE AG

y u ~ NfsN VI II l. - L O@N l. 4ANIi-
Designs were often carved on the
handles of daggerS Stone Age hunters
used Sometimes it was the image
OF q deer. sometimes of bear or
even a mammoth.
This was q handy thing to do be-
cause II prevented miXups. BY means
OF the handles, men could tell which
daggcrS We're theirs. After they came
IN from hunt, they could toss them
IN heap and not worry about confu-
sion.
Hundreds of carved daggers have
been found inside Europe's caves. The
handles were often made from the
antlerS of reindeer. One such handle
was cut in the shape of mammoth.
Ot course, the bigness of the mammoth
could not be shown well: but the tusks,
head and legs were plainly made. Most
OF the blade Of this dagger is missing,
but what there is of it seems to show
that the blade extended straight out
in place of the trunk.
1t seems that carving was quite Of
ten done jus, for tie fun of it. For

we chose one of the easy chairs
and, as YOU will see in the first
sketch. il stands parallel to the
window wall. II made the room APP
pear more restful placed 50 than
if it had followed the line Of the
hearth. which was in juXtaposition
to the walls.
On the left side wall, near the
hearth. another of the chairs was
utilized TO make our center OF in
tereSt group complete.
The gate legged table came next,
and as an isolated reading corner
was desired for the master Of the
house it acts as a small barrier be-
tween the rest of the room and the
lounging chair placed near to the
bookcases on the wall opposite the
windows.

instance, the image of horses head
has come down to US through the ages.
1t never formed dagger handle, but
was made because someone enjoyed
the work. '.'.'.
We have before US picture Of this
head. 1t was cut from ivory. No
tice that the horse is whinnying.
From another piece Of ivory, a
whole horse was carved. The animal
was made about three inches long.
When found, part of the legs had been
broken or worn away, but the head,
name, body and tail we're still plainly
to be seen.
Now | am going to tell you some
thing you may be surprised to hear
iq u certain caYe, an animals tooth
was found. but it no longer looked
like Il tooth. 1t. was carved in the
shape of the upper half Of a woman's
body!
Those artists Of the Stone Age cer>
tdinly made a mess of il when they
tried to represent human beings. The
other day you saw some of their paint
'ings, OF women. You remember their
wasp-like waists. 1t was just the
other way around with almost all cary
.ngs. The women were made to look
as if they were as fat as balloons.
In one case, however, very good
piece OF work was done in shaping Il
woman's head. This bit Of sculpture
was FOUND in a French cave, and two
views of il are given.

horses head made during the Stone
age; % and O a side view and a

UNITED STATES SAYINGS

OF late years, with the improve
ment and increase OF publicity
methods, many OF the conspicuous
successes in the business world
have given to their less fortunate
fellow-citizens the rules of lie to
which they attribute their pros
perity. 1t is to be carefully noted
and stored in the memory, that
without a single exception, the
savings habit, begun in youth is
one of the main factors OF their
career. Rockefeller, Ford, Wan
namaker, Carnegie, the elder
Morgan. and a hundred OF lesser
fame, have noticeably accentuated
this habit.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-07-24

The South is awakening to this
fact, however, and we look for an
entirely different set OF statistics
in the next decade.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-07-24

The total savings deposits IN
banks in the United States is eSti-
mated at about fourteen billions;
certificates OF deposit for thirty
days and oyer, two-ud-one-halt
billions; and postal savings, about
sixty-four millions; making 4
grand total, as stated, OF $lO,OlS,-
100000.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-07-24

The total savings deposits in the
United States amount to slightly
more than sixteen-aud-a-half bill
lion dollars, according to the hg-
ures recently compiled by the Say
ings Bank Division of the Amer
ican Bankers ? Association This
differs with the estimate OF the
United States Government, which
places the figure at twenty-seven
billions. But this latter sum prob
ably is based ON the mutual say
ings bank deposits and outstand-
ing United States bonds.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-07-24

An interesting feature is the
geographical distribution OF say
ings. The New England group
of states has per capita savings
deposit of SSH; the Middle At
lantic group, of $247; the South
ern of SIS; the Fast Central, OF
Sl45; the West Central, OF $50
and the Pacific group, Of SIP.
The average per capita savings
for the whole United States, is

 Cooperation Assured
 At the close of MT. Filley's re = marks many questions were asked and answered regarding the cost of eradication and the reforestation of local land. At the conclusion the necessary cooperation on the part of the town was assured and work ot cleaning up in Salisbury will be started next spring under state su- pervision.
 State Forester Hawes
 State Forester Hawes gave a very interesting though short address on the state forests of the future. He stated that forests would be far more productive and profitable under state ownership than under private owner ship. This was because the farmer usually cut his timber indiscrimin- ately as his needs required, while the state would sort out only timber best suited for market purposes. MT. HaWes then showed in a clear. con- clse manner how all our state indus- tries were allied with and dependent on our timber production.
 It we are to get the legislature to make appropriations for forestry purposes, we must show the voters how 1t IS to be used, said MT. Hawes
