HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE Metal Is Rolled Into a Ribbon and Pen Shapes Are Cut Out by Machinery. The tiny tip of white metal seen on the under side of the point of a gold pen may be of platinum, but it is more likely to be iridium. Iridium is a very bard metal and it is expensive; it costs about four times as much as gold. The purpose of the fridium tip 1s, of course, to give the pen a more durable tip. The gold pen maker buys his gold at the assay office in bars of pure 24 karat gold, which he melts and alloys with his silver and copper to the de- gree of fineness required. Gold of 14 karats {s used in the manufacture of the best American gold penus, that be- ‘ing the degree of fineness deemed most sultable for pen use; but good pens made in this country for sale in: France are made of 18 karats, the French government requiring that all articles exposed for sale in that coun- try as gold shall be of not less than 18 karats. The gold from which the pens are to be made is rolled and rerolled until what was originally a thick, heavy bar of gold has been rolled into a thin gold ribbon about three feet in length by four inches wide. Then this gold ribbon is put into a machine which stamps out of it pen shapes, all still flat. Then on the tip of each of these pens is fused the iridium point, and then the shapes go to a slitting ma- chine, which cut the slit in the pen. Prom this slitting machine the pens g0 through another, which gives them their rounded, familiar pen form, and | then the pens are ground and polish- ed and finished ready for use. American gold pens in fountain pens | or as dip pens are sold in every coun- ! try in Europe in competition with pens of British or of German manufacture, | and under the same competition they | are sold throughout the ~world, in | South America, Africa, Japan, Chlnu.‘ wherever pens are used.

They are usually of a willful fair- ness, with flesh kept firm by the mas- seuse; their brows are lowering, and there is the perpetual hint of hard- ness in their faces; their apparel is exceedingly good, but their manners are ungentle, their voices harsh and discontented; there is no light in their eyes, no charm or softness in their presence. They are fitting mates, per- haps, for the able-bodied pagans who &re overrunning the earth, but hard- ly suitable nurses for a generation which must redeem us from materiale ism, if indeed we are to be redeemed. Facing them, cne wonders if race sul- cide is not one of nature's mgrcitul de- vices. How should they or their off- spring ever replace our old-fashioned lady? Yet they are the natural prod- uct of much of our modern wealth, s she was the natural product of the comfortable life of a generation of twa @go.—The Atlantie, The Pioneer Wan_t Ads CASH WITH GOPY Vz cent per word per Issue 15 cents.

As the little man walked absent mindedly along the sidewalk he sud- | denly stopped in front of a bookstore. | It recalled to him the meaning of that | plece of string on his finger, and with | & brightened face he entered. | “Just a minute,” he said to the clerk. ““My wife wanted me to get & book for her—a certain novel she’s heard a good deal about. I must find | the memorandum she gave me. She l‘wrate the name on a slip of paper, and I put it in my pocket.” After considerable fumbling he pro- duced a small bit of paper, and laying it on the counter, took out his speo- tacles and adjusted them on his nose. “Here’s the name—Cobb’s Corna- tine. Yes, that's it.” ! “F—I'm afraid I don’t know the book, sir,” said the clerk apologetical- ly, “but T'll look through the list of new ones.” And he ran his eye over the list on the wall. “No, I'm sorry to say I can’t find it here. You are sure of the name?” “Yes, it's right here_on this plece of paper.” “Well, I'm afrald we haven't got it then.” “But—but I don’t dare to go home |to my wife without it. I promised to | get it for ier.” | The clerk called to another in the | back of the store, who came forward. { To the other he said: “Say, Bill, do | you know of a book called Cornatine, by a fellow named Cobb?” | “What's that?” he asked in sur- | prise. [ “Cobb’ | =William James, The old gentleman brok Cornatine, He: Bee for yourself.” “I'm afraid you've made a mistake,” sald the new arrival with' a twinkle. “Cobb’s Cornatine is a new breaklast food.” i “Ah, now I seo why -the grocer didn’t ‘understand me when I asked bim for a package of Queed,” remark- od the customer in manifest relief. —G.

It is that of an old woman of Genoa, who made a living by selling strings of nuts in the streets. By fru gality and industry she succeeded fn | amassing a small fortune in-this way, and then commissioned a well known sculptor of Genoa, Lulgi Orengo, to make a life size portrait of her in| marble just as she appeared at her pitch in the street. This statue she ordered to be placed in the famous Straglieno cemetery, probably the | largest in the world—Wecrld Wide | Magazine. | Ready to Meet Emergencies. “Be systematically herolc in littl unnecessary points.
