Manufacture of desk pencil sharp

which also forebade the making Of
copper engravings for calling cards,
greeting cards and business sta
tionery.
Manufacture of metallic file fas-
teners and production of metal re-
pair parts for ofiice supplies. with
the exception of parts for staplers
and punchers. were likewise pro-
hibited.
Manufacturers may assemble fab
ricated parts of metal pencil sharp
eners until January Is. and produc-
ton of file fasteners is ordered
stopped by January 81. After De-
cember 81, only staplers using eight
ounces or less of metal each can be
produced. Three-hole perforators
may contain as much as II ounces
OF metal each.
The prohibition on use of copper
for engraving plates for calling
car6s and stationery was made
effective December 81. Use of the
metal by the printing and publish
ing industry for other purposes
except for bronze powders, inks, and
the like which are otherwise con-
trolled-E restricted to so per cent
Of the total amount used in the
corresponding quarter of 1910. Pre-
viously the limitation was 70 per
cent.
The amended order also requires
the industry to use some scrap in
stead of new copper in electrotyping
and rotogravure. WPB said users of
copper engraved material would be
able to rely on regular printing
"plateless engraving" and in some
cases on steel dies. Steel dies US
ually are used for large quantities
OF engraved material. No new steel
has been available for dies for some
time, but the industry has been
using old ones to good advantage
by polishing and using both sides.

to the person having his blood
typed, it is a matter Of only a few
minutes.
BY having the record of his blood
type on file, an injured person may
be given perhaps life-saving

the necessity of waiting for the

Laboratory officials stress the fact
that any normal person over l8

Any person wishing to have his
