Quito frequently it becomes ncccs sary to hnve a pipe wrench, especially for brass tubing, that will not mar tho work and yet at tho samo time will permit of using sufficient forco to pro duce tho required results without crushing the tubing. Hero Is described ono of the cheap est, simplest and yet most efficient of pipe wrenches. It consists of two parts: A piece of hard wood about l&xl '6xl8 Inches nnd n pleco of strong two-Inch leather bolting about thrco feet long The Btrap should bo riveted to the wood with rivet heads well sunk below the surface of the wood on tho side opposite tho strap 3 Wrench for Polished Brass. side of the lever. Tho loose end of tho strap should have holes punched at Intervals of ono Inch or bo, to made it adjustable to the work, with tho stud tho opposite sldo of tho bar. Tho strap should bo turned down over tho end of the lover, then up and around, the opposlto end, whore It Is fastened to the stud on the under aide. Tho object of throwing the strap around the end of the lever rather than to fasten 11 at the end Is to in suro n maximum amount of pull on tho strap with a minimum strain whero if is fastened to tho ntud. Use this device like any other pipe wrench. To release tho wrench for another pull, simply pull It away from tho pipe far enough to nllow it to loosen its grip, and begin for tho now pull hy simply repeating tho first op eration Th nd of (If Htrnp must not bo taken from tho stud after It la adjusted until tho operation of turning tho pipe ifl completed. With tho ubo of this wrench an oven strain is placed upon the tubing on Its entire surface without any possible danger of marring or crushing It. With a few trials tho work can bo done ns quickly as with an open pipe wrench. HANDY IN FARMER'S KITCHEN Ingenious Combination Gas Qenerator and Burner Takes Place of Ordinary Coal Range.

Valued at $788,925,046, The total production of all metals In tho United States In 1911 was 27. 878,282,om tons, valued at 7SS.l25. 016 In tho volume of "Mineral Re sources," published by tho United States .geological survey, Is a short chapter by II. D. McCaskoy that con tains a unique tablo In which, for tho ! sake of comparison, tho production of nil metals is reduced to short tons. Thus, pig Iron, with a production from both domestic and Imported ores of 26,048,1 C2 short tone, vnlued at $327, 324,621, Ib contrasted with platinum, tho production of which was less than a ton (0.999 ton), valuod at $1,308, 480, and gold, with a production of 190,704 tone, valued at $114,981,080. In tho ficvcral mining Industries various units aro commonly employed which do not admit of convenient comparison. For Instance, the pro duction of nnthraclto coal Is always Htatod by the producers In long tons, but that of bltumlnoys coal is given in Bhort tons. Again, the "flask" (75 pounds) is tho customary unit for tho measurement of quicksilver, excopt whero tho metric ton is used. The Troy ounco Is used for measuring tho predoiiB motals. As shown by the tables In this re port, however, tho value of the total production for 1911 was $80,732,580 less than that for 1910. Another tablo gives tho production of domestic crude metallic ores, and this, together with Imports of foreign supplies treated In domestic metal production, shows tho sources from which these metals aro derived. Tho total production of all ores In 1911 was 105,258.492 short tons. WATER GUARD ON GRINDSTONE Upshootlng Moisture Is Deflected Back and Down Into Basin Below Prevents Wet Floors.

ROCKEFELLER, JR. WAS FOUNDED TWO YEARS AGO Son of Retired Oil Magnate Describe the Origin, Work and Proposed Plans for the Investigation of Vis Conditions. Now York, Jan. 27. In order that the public might better understand the Bureau of Social Hygiene, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., on Monday gavo out a statement explaining the origin, work and plnns of that Institution. Tho bureau, he said, came Into oxlstenoe about two years ago as a result of the work of a special grand Jury ap pointed to Investigate the whlto slave traffic In New York city. This Jury recommended that a public commis sion be nppolnted to study the social ovll. Mr. Rockefeller waa foreman of that grand Jury and he thereafter gave the subject deep thought and conferred with a largo number of lead ing men and women. "These confer ences," Bay3 Mr. Rockefeller, "devel oped tho feeling that a public comrals slon would labor under- a numbor of disadvantages, such aa the fact that it would be short lived; that its work would, be done publicly; that at best it could hardly do moro than pre sent recommendations. So the con viction grow that In order to make a real and laBting improvement in con ditions, a permanent organization should be created, the continuation of which would not be dependent upon a temporary wave of reform, nor upon tho life of any man or group of men, but which would go on, generation after generation, continuously making warfare against the forces of evil. It also appeared that a private organiza tion would have, among other advan tages, a certain freedom from publlo lty and from political bias, which a publicly appointed commission could not bo easily avoid. "Therefore, ob the initial stop, In the winter- of 1911 tho Bureau of So cial Hygiene was formed. Its pres ent members are Miss Katharine Bora ent Davis, Hiiperlntendent of thu New York state Reformatory for Women at Bedford Hills, N. Y.; Paul M. War burg, of tho firm of Kuhn, Loeb &; Co.; Starr J. Murphy, of the New York bar, and John U. Rockefeller, Jr. As the work develops new members may bo added. "One of the first things undertaken by the bureau was the establishment at Bedford Hills, adjacent to the re formatory, of a laboratory of social hygiene, under Miss Dnvls direction. In this laboratory It is proposed to study from tho physical, mental, social and moral aide each person committed to the reformatory. This study will be carried on by experts and each case will be kept under observation for from threo weeks lo three months, as may be required. When the diag nosis is completed, It is hoped that the laboratory will be in position to rec ommend the treatment most likely to reform the Individual, or, It reforma tion Is Impossible, to recommend per manent custodial care. Furthermore, reaching out beyond the individuals involved, it Is believed that thus Im portant contributions may be mado to a fuller knowledge of the conditions ultimately responsible for vlco. If this experiment la successful tho prin ciple may prove applicable to all classes of criminals and the conditions precedent to crime, and lead to lines of action not only more scientific and humane but also less wasteful than those at present followed." That Its work might be done Intelli gently the bureau employed George J. Kneeland to make a comprehensive survey of vice conditions in New York, and Abraham Flexner to study the social evil In Europe, and their reports are now being prepared. These studies will be followed by others in various American cities, and it is the hope of the bureau that, based upon all of them, may be devised a prac tical plan for dealing with the social ovll. In conclusion Mr. Rockefeller's statement says: "It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the spirit which dominates the work of the bu reau Is not sensational or sentimen tal or hysterical; that it is not a spirit of criticism of public olilclals; but thai It Is essentially a spirit of con structive suggestion and of deep sci entific as well aa humane interest in a great world problem." Caihler Is Short $100,000. High tirldgo, N. J.. Jan. 24.Tho High Bridge National bank la tempo rarily closed as the result of a con fession by Abram L.
