 @. what is the best way to temper dies and thin pieces of steel to kekt them from cracking in water? s
 A. The recommended practice foE ouenching small tools in water is aa remove them from the bath while the tools are still warm (that is, be- low about 300 degree F. or where water will boil on them) and then reheat (temper) immediately to re- lieve stress (300-375 degree F.-sttaW color) or to higher temperature for the desired hardness. Do not allow, the tools to become cold in the quenching bath, and they should not become cold before tempering. Cracking due to quenching usually takes place in a relatively low tenn pertaure range.

HEY used to say that if you want

efficacious method would be to train
your camera on it.
To most people camera is toy:
a means of recording the weekend
visitors, the family picnics, the dolngs
of the youngsters - all of which pro-
vide ample justification for owning a
camera. But amateur snapshooting
can be more than this. Absorbing as
it is as a hobby, it can be even more
fascinating and constructive as the
tool for some other hobby.
My wife. for example, has passion
for flower arrangements and when a
flower show comes around we need a
truck to transport her entries. Con-
ceding her genius in this field, her
most helpful tool is our camera and
the snaps we make of tentative ar
rangements Reduced in size and con-
fined within the borders of print,

come ten times more apparent than
they are in the original. Furthermore,
the pictures constitute a really in

1867 Holland gave New Netherland

colonies were more valued at that time
than those in colder climates - and
South America seemed more promis-
