The loss of life is not the only price that we pay for our negligence while traveling. Three or four times the number actually killed are injured, many of them seriously and some left helpless for life. Muny homes are broken up or left in want when the bread-winner is removed by death or injury. With these facts in mind I earnestly solicit the co operation of all the citizens of North Wiikesboro to make this a real SAVE-A-LIFE program. Signed: R. I.

Nichols, North Wilkes boro newspaperman, has Iieen granted a prtent on a new type metal feeder for linotype, inter type and other type setting ma chines.

It is so accurate that the met- feotly in a few shops already, is located directly over the metal pot on the machine and is at tached by two bolts nlready in the machine. It takes up a mini mum of space and actually adds to the good appearance of the machine instead of looking like something bunglesome. The natur.ll motion of the ma- As with many other inventions, this new feature was born of ne cessity. Nichols W1.1S1 working in the newspaper composing room of The .Tournal-Patriot where two linotypes are used. Hls mrchlne had no feeder and the other had one of the old and complex type. Nichols had tj put small pigs into the metal nots at frequents intervals. He decided to do some thing about the situution so he could u.-e the long bars of metal like were used in the other ma chine. One of the long bprs would last for almost an hour , while with using small pigs he had to get up '..0 put more in every few minutes. He first rigged up a cord witji which he could sit in his chair and let the long bar of metal down into the pot as needed and by that crude method got his Idea for a very simple automatic feeder which does everything pos sible. Hi* sew feeder, working mod- eU of which are performing per- ai level will not vary over eighth of on inch. Not only does the feeder work entirely automatically in keeping a constant level in the pot, but there is a distinct l.ell signi’l- when the large bar is used up. Simplicity of a workln.g model make a linotype operator won der why they were not made many yen's ago. There appears to be no reason why a feeder like Nichols hrs invented should not operate many years without the slightest trouble and without re placement of any part. He received his patent several days ago but so fir has not made definite plans for mrnufacture and sale, although he is inclined to tackle the job himself rather than sell ^patent rights if capital can be obtained. Production cost will be such that the feeder can he sold at much lower price than any practical feeder for typeset, ting machines now on the mar. ket.
