The wrathful explosion at the news paper end of the Hue wus ptetUfOOqM and prolonged.

Miss Florence Caldwell, of Cleve land, Ohio, hua gained the distinction of being the only woman civil engineer In America. Miss Caldwell Is hii ex ceptionally well educated girl.

The device waa printed ou dlska of apeclal ly pr. pari d celluloid, which wen- tbtfl allghtly softened and pressed 00 im lal rings with a stud fastening. That part was done by a machine which was In vented by a woman In Iowa. She uiuile alsut fliVOOQ out of her pntent. The first buttons were nearly oil po litical, but the fad soon extended to other varieties, nnd at one time we made over WW different sets, eueh set having, sometime, as many as forty separate designs. Making the draw ings alone kept a corps of ten men busy. They were originally printed lib-lack, but after a while the demand for novelty forced u to put In color pressea and some of the w ork was real ly artistic. Kvciitually we used pho tography also, and prtutcd from the negtitlvee direct lo the celluloid. The process wus a secret one, and we had to pay a pretty stiff royalty. 'There wus a gn at difference In the quality of the buttons. Some of tin m mid for half a cent apiece whole-ule. and some brought ns high as a quarter. The latter were the large photographic buttons with (icrmnn sliver mounts. Of course a few are still sold, hut not a hundredth part as many as were for merly colled for.
