A stiff nin-wire is drawn into a machine from a large hank and the first operation takes all the kinks and twirls out of the thin wire, after which a head is struck on the end by a header which strikes a series of rapid blows. After the head is formed the wire is cut to the desired length and a series of files points the other end. After the pins come from the ma chine, they are placed in a revolving barro' filled with sawdust where all oil is absorbed and the pin emerges clean and bright. They arc next put in a blower where the remaining sawdust is removed, after which ] they go into a huge boiler. They are boiled for five or six hours in a copper boiler, containing layers of tin, in a solution of argol or bitar trate of potash. This leaves them with a covering of tin, and gives them a bright shiny appearance. Again they are cleaned, washed and dried and are ready for the sticking room where they are put in paper folders. 1 Much Sweets Produces Decay Sugar is a potent dietary factot.

Million Trees for Protection Land wasted either through ero sion or intensive cultivations will be rehabilitated in the Dust Bowl re gion, if plans of the government are successful.
