We bought a large quantity. paid real good prices and went over to England to attend the auctions where they were disposed of. The effect of the stock market break in New York the previous fall did not seem to affect the pelt market in London that year. in fact 1931 pelts were fairly good in London but ' 1932 there was a very severe drop and the average we made up that year was somewhere between 335 and 840. The low prices continued for two or three years and then in 1935 there was a distinct improvement which con- tinued and was really strong in I936. The big drop did not occur

OTTAWA lCP) - Canada has inoculated about 750.000 children with the Salk polio vaccine so far -without a single report of a child becoming ill from it.

"The double safety check on pro- duction ls paying off." a federal health department spokes- nzan said. ”There has been only one report of a child becominr 'll with polio after receiving the :- clne and it was found to have been infected with the virus before getting its first injection."

The spokesman said about 750.- 000 children have received at least one injection. with the required two shots completed in half that number.

MILLIONI BY JULY

By July, when the polio season begins climbing towards its peak. Canada hopes to have at least 1.000.000 ehlldres , tected wl two shots. All provinces have agreed to abide by vaccine per- fecisr Dr. Jonas Salk's recom- mendation izo give the third shot seven months later.

With a population of 15,000,000, Canada's demands for the vaccine have been high and supplies scarce. There have been few re- ports of - t bslklng at the inoculation program. .

Mothers have camped for hours on the doorsteps of some clinics. demanding pl ” n for their children. one doctor who had sup- plies for a few persons said he made a number of nemies when he told patients he had the vac- cine. He couldn't fill the demands.

Three bandits. two of then arm- ed, held up Sam Brown of Bobby Brown Furs. Inc. at 307 - 1th Ave., New York, last week and escaped with an estimated 850,000 worth in mink stoles. Mr. Brown hnd his wife arrived at their show rooms at 9.10 a.m. to be greeted by the robbers. The premises had been opened shortly before by Sam Feldman, as employee of Mr. Brown, who was held at bay by the gunmen. Before helping them- selves to three cartons of mink garments the gunmen bound with rope Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Mr. Feldman and three other fur trade people who entered the showroom while the robbery was in process. Lt. Peter Devers of the 14th Pre- cinct said over 100 garl wnts worth about 350.000 had been taken. Mr. Brown said the loss was covered by insurance.

NEWSY

The origin of the word barrel is uncertain. It was common to the Romance languages and has been applied to many cylindrical vu- sets. The art of making barrels. known as coopernge. is of great antiquity. Pliny ascribed its in- vention to the inhabitants of the Alpine Valleys. The rolling ava- lanche may have supplied the idea that led to the making of a vessel that woud transport materials by rolling instead of lifting and carry- ing them. The Celtrlc form of the name barrel appears in the Gaelic "herein" and is derived from the English.

The ingenious Chinese people. who in ancient times made the mariner's compass and many out- standing devices that have great- ly benefited the human race. did not create the barrel nor any similar container.

The i t craft of bar- rels was practised in Britain by her Roman conquerors. as shown by the fact that barrels and casks similar to those now in use have been unearthed from sites of Ro- man settlements. The barrel was in common use by the Romans in the early Christian era. The manu- facture of barrels evidently died out in Britain following the Ro- man period. and was reintroduced by the Anglosaxons, since the name cooper and cooperage and other trade names are of Ger- manic origin.

The construction of the barrel is ingeniously adapted so that it com- bines great strength with light- ness. lt resists pressure from without by the arched arrange- ment of the staves; the hoops. which are seldom less than three in number between the middle and each end, secure it from the ex- pansive force of the gues within that are often generated by the contents of the barrel.

The barrel is a hollow. cylindrical vessel, usually slightly bulging in the middle. sometimes described as a double conold, as its dia- meter dimlnlshes toward each end. Most barrels were formerly made of wooden staves. bound together with hoo s, the ends were closed by clrcu ar heads. There is a bunghole in the centre of one of the slaves for filling, emptying and for the escape of gases that may generate from the contents.

The upper ends of the stavss were drawn together by means of a rope passed around them and lightened by a windlass until other truss hoops could be dropped over them. the stoves ,being steamed ,6 or heated to enable the bending of them freely into shape. The two ends were then finished to re- ceive the beads, by forming a chine or bevel on the extremities of the slaves and a grove into which the heads fit.

COOPERAGE

The making of barrels. casks and hogsheads was a specialized-can pentry trade known as cooperage. it required a great deal of skill to make tight barrels. and the trade had no connection with the making of coops to confine small animals. in Great Britain the Worshlpful Company of Coopers secu ' a charter from King Henry VIII. in 1501. which was renewed in 1661. An act of Parlia- ment of l53l-32 authorized the company to examine all barrels and casks made in London and its suburbs and mark those ap- proved. This duty continued until the 18th century. The company still exists. but its activities now are mainly confined to the admin- istratlon of charitable funds.

The making of barrels was divid- ed into two distinct classes de- pending upon the character of what they were to contain; The first class consisted of tight or what was called wet barrels, for liquids or substances that would waste or leak in transit. The sec- ond class, slack or dry barrels were made to contain fruit, vege- tables and non-perishable ma- terials. The demand was largely for tight barrels and oak stsves were preferred for these because of their strength and durability.

The staves were wider in the middle to give the barrel a bulge and they had their edges properly bevelled to make them fit closely
