He was a little unsettled for a

that it was cheaper to stay drunk

Today ordinary pins can be
found ranging in size from stout
blanket pins, three and a half
inches in length, to those very
fine gilt pins used by scientists in
their laboratories, $500 Of which
weigh barely an ounce.
These pins, which familiarity
has made commonplace to us,
were once the cherished posses
sions of queens. In 1910 Queen
Catherine Of England received a
gift Of some pins from France.
She valued them so highly that
when one was lost she sent all
the great ladies of her court to
hunt for it. She kept them In a
cushion and amused herself by
making fancy patterns with them.
This seemingly insignificant
commodity early made its ap-
pearance in the history of the
American colonies. A prize was
offered in 1775 to the enterpristng
member of Carolina who would
produce the first native made
pin. But pins continued to be
imported from England until the
war of 1912 made their price
exorbitant. 1t then became APP
narent to the citizens Of the new
Nv rounded United States that they
would have to manufacture their
own pins.

and guarded possession. In that
year an American, Lemuel w.
Wright, secured in England a
patent for the first machine,
which is essentially the same one
used today, which Is responsible
for the establishment Of the whole
pin-making industry.
Before the invention of
Wright's machine it required the
services of no less than fourteen
men to make one pin. The old
form of PIN consisted of

twisted wire that was made
separately and then fastened to
the pin. All the operations of
