m CORDS OF
WOOD 00 INTO
LEAD PENCILS
WASHINGTON. .Sept. 27-VWhero
do-all the lead pencils come from
end where -do thoy go? Although
.almost everybody has one, many
folks never biy ono, but oven so,
more than 7CO.00O.000 aro manu
factured for uso In tho United
States every year, using up many
thousands ot cords of wood.
But woods suitable for lead pen
cils aro becoming scarcer and many
manufacturers aro turning to pap
er. Red Cedar and Red Juniper,
says tho American Forestry Asso
elation aro the 'woods chiefly used
in making lead pencils. A hunt Is
on for other kinds ot wood that
will take tho placo ot these. In
East Africa a kind ot cedar lias
been found y(lth which experiments
are being moue,. Tna prouueuon in
th'eVUnltedX States Is about 80,000
cases of pencil slats per year. From
each case 100 gross of pencils Is
made. This results in about ono
billion pencils ot Amorlcan grown
cedar. Since ono fourth of this
number Is sent to foreign countries
that leavos 750,000,000 pencils for
the home market, which means an
nverago of seven pencils per person
figuring on tho last census.
As far back- as history goes manl
has tried to tnako things to mark
with and to set down his thoughts.
Tho (Aztecs and tho Pharaohs had
crude marking devices. Aa flnrly na
17C0 Kalm, a Swodlsh naturalist,
mado oxporlmonts with American
eadnr'In 1S12. William Monroe
mado G00 pencils nt Concord and
sold thorn In uoston but tho war
stopped his plans. In 18G1 Eber
hard Fabcr "began making pencils
on A largo scnlo In this country.
Tho graphite which makes tho
mark Is ct courso tho Important
part In tho manufacture ot the pen'
ell. 'Ceylon has furnished much ot
tho graphlto used In this country,
Grapblto is also found in Madagas
car and in Mexico. Czechoslovakia
contains deposits ot both tho am
pliorotis and crystallno graphite. In
the unltod States the chief doposlts
are in Alabama, New York and

Thoroforo wo feel thnt our records

No munitions concern can llvo by
war alone. During tho 130 years ot
tho exlstenco of tho United States
as a nation thoro woro four major
conflicts boforo tho world war.
They lasted about ton oars In all,
nr nhout 7 nor cent cf tho tlmo.

Thoro Is tho need for Immediate

steady, oven flow of poace-tlmo
buslnoss gives way to a fovorlsh
rush for matorlals and labor. This
oxpanslon must bo accomplished
when thero Is a domand for monoy

might assumo that our factories can
turn to tho making ot war materials
without changing their equipment,
As a matter of fact, our plants that
made powder for commercial pur
poses -could not turn out the ex
plosives used In modern warfare
Now plants, then, must bo erectod,
now organizations created when
labor is hard to find and not ovor-

Wars stop suddenly. The muni
tlons maker finds that bis market
has vanished overnight. Ho is left
with plants and organizations on hla
hands that are ot little value during
peace and these difficulties aro
enhanced by the depression that
follows conflict.

Tho groat factories of our com
pany that produced powder during
tho world war wore created for
their purpose, and wero abandoned
completely when tho war ceased. It
is truo that the United States gov
ornment at all times maintained ex
periments, requiring tho produc

pared to tho Industrial business ot
tho du Pont company tho quantities
