In such cases il is "A simple matter
to keep only few sizes of long screws
and cut them down to the exact length
required. Considerable care, however
must be exercised in cutting screws to
size. because the ordinary methods of
cutting with pliers or hacksaw leave
a burr on the end of the screw thread
that makes it difficult to screw the
screw into a nut. This difficulty can
often be solved by fling the end of
the screw until the roughened portion
is removed and clean thread is OBJ
tained.
The screw can be held in the wise or
in the hand While the end is being
filed, but one of the best WAYS of do
ing this job is to hold il in the wise
shown in the Illustration.
This vice has been designed especiaI-
~ for such work. The laws are very

is an 8-32 thread and the last is a

this keen-visioned leader of France discusses The
meaning to his country and to the world of the
election to the German presidency of Marshal Won
Hindenburg.
Dramatically, Herriot declares, France wants
security only'-and then he proceeds to analyze
critically the German mind and purpose as ex-
pressed IN Hindenburgs victory at the polls.
Herrot says: Beyond doubt the reactionary
forces OF Germany have gained power. Will these
elements be satisfied with the compliment to their
vanty-or will they desire to go further?"
Herriot asks "Is Germany saying to herself she
mas decidedly had enough of war = = or is she
thinking she must first work on her economic
reconstruction + in order to impose her will
the day when she has regained her material force?
Such is the tragic dilemma with which the entire
world is faced"
Herriot declares: 81 believe that only on the day
when Germany commits herself on the question of
her admission to the League of Nations will we be
able to Judge the Importance of the election of
Marshal Hindenburg"
The Herriot article flashes with the spirit of a
who has attempted much to bring order out of
chaos-and sums up problematic situation with
force born of conviction.
No country is concerned than France-and
no Frenchman better able to review the effect of
the recent election in Germany than ex-Premier
