Safe Safety Pin Reverses Normal
Habits lis Open When Closed

OGDEN, Utah, Feb. %. up
The first marketable improvement
in safety pins since they were first
manufactured"-a boon to babies
was announced today by S. C. Car
ter. Ogden railway mail clerk and
part-time inventor. It's a pin that's
closed when it's opened
Porter explained the ordinary
safety pin exposes a sharp point
when open. The Porter safe safety
pin" works just the opposite. The
spring coil at the closed end of the
pin is inverted, causing the point
to duck into a pocket at the top
of the pin when it is open.
The clerk-inventor has patented
his device. A Los Angeles, Cal, con-
Germ will start mass production soon'
The pocket that the catch catches
in on the super safe safety pin is
located at the top of the head, which
Porter explained is the teachnical

TO recruit Russians in vast masses
for the German army.
The British, as Trotsky's invita-
ton. Sent a small force TO Muir
mansk 10 hole it against possible
German seizure. By creating a
front in north Russia. it was
also hoped to prevent any Russian
help for Germany.
The allies kept pestering the
United States to send men to help
Pershing was dubious of it; Baker
didn't IKE it. but the British sold
the idea to President Wilson.
VANS TOWN
STILL is TERRIBLE
So in September the 339th In
fantry, a battalion of engineers
field hospital unit and an am
tulance company under Lieut.. Col
George Z. Stewart piled off British
transports at Archangel. That
town haa been founded by Ivan
the Terrible, and TO the American
hoyS it still looked terrible.
They were installed in ratty old

When news comes from Finland OF
battles above the Arctic circle al
90 below, there are several thous-
and Americans who know all about
that-veteranS of an unfinished
war"
They are veterans of the Ameri-
can expeditionary force which ar
rived at Archangel in September,
1918. There were 1900 of them
then, mostly Wisconsin and Michi-
gan boys.
This strange adventure is little
known. But the Americans who
were there, fighting near the same
territory where Russian and Finn
now clash, are not likely to forget
it. They had joined the army to
fight Germans in France. They
wound up fighting Russians in
Arctic Siberia. Many of them have
never found out why.
For 10 months, through the
whole of the winter of l9l8-19l9.
these American boys huddled in
luts. marched over the frozen
tundra, fought and died in the dim
violet light of Arctic winter.
REASONS FOR ARCTIC
CAMPAIGN ARE OBSCURE
For what? 1t is hard today to
understand the causes behind the
adventure.
In the early spring of 1918 it
looked bad for the allies. The
Germans were advancing in France.
partly because Russia had dropped
out of the war, releasing German
divisions for the western front.
Nobody knew what was going on in
Russia, but it was widely believed
that amid internal chaos the Ger
mans were getting control of the
whole country.
It was feared that they would
seize Murmansk and Archangel on
the Arctic sea, and use them as
submarine bases. From those ports
railroads run southwark to Petro-
grad and to the main line of the
Trans-Siberiar Railway. 1t was
even feared that they would be able

AMERICANS, LIKE FINNS,
USED RUSSIAN RIFLES

The Americans, armed with a
tricky Russian rifle, and backed
10y only two batteries of Canadian
artillery, found it heavy going,
They were frittered away on little
dabbling expeditions, down the Vol
ogda railroad, up the Dvina river
The blttereSt winter weather and
Russian re-enforcements came on
then together. Ironside soon saw
that advance was hopeless, and
merely tried to hold the ground
already won, some 100 miles south
of Archangel
The Armistce came in France
on Nov. II, but as the guns died
on the Western Front, they blazed
at Toulgas where part of the 339th,
with a few Royal Scots and Ca
madam artillerymen, were repelling
desperate attacks by the gray-clad
Red Army. A dozen little fronts )
with detachments of American
troops stood off Red attacks, then
dug in for the winter, building log
blockhouseS to repulse frequent at
tackS.
BY spring, the Americans were
fed up with the whole thing.
Then somebody back home re-
membered. Gradually the Amer
leans were withdrawn, leaving the
British and White Russians in the
lines until that autumn, when they
l,n nv
leans sailed for home. That is,
all but the hundreds who were buried
in the same frozen snowfields that
are now spattered anew with the
blood OF Russian and Finn.

term for that end of the pin that
the point catches in.
The pocket is an indcntation ON
top of the U-Shaped head.
To give verbal picture of the
pin, Porter said one should visual
ize an ordinary safety pin on IA
desk, the point side up. At the coil
end is the inverted sprin2 that in
stead of forcing the point upward,
makes it go down.
When the point goes down. it stops
! in the indentation. To put the pin
into a garment, the operator has
to force the point upward,
Porter got his idea from the air
brakes of railway cars. which close
automatically. The clerk, who is the
father of two children, aged and

if swallowed by a child, would go
through the intestinal tract without
sticking.
