Something that heretofore has
been called impossible has Just been
aceoDplished at the factory of the
Frank H. Lee Hat Co., In Danbury.
where an "air washing" machine, the
first to be used in any hat factory In
the country, has been Installed for
the purpose of removing from the air
of the forming mill the invisible par
ticles of quicksilver that form a con
stant and dreaded meance to the
health of workers in that branch of
the hat industry.
The apparatus has been in opera
tion a little more than a week and it
appears to have been demonstrated
conclusively that it is possible to frea i
the atmosphere of quicksilver and to
provide an abundance of fresh, pure
air at a constantly even temperature,
at the same time avoiding air cur-

lytfIES, DAY FRIDAY
SOLVE THE MYSTERY
Wonders can be performed says
the National War Garden Commis
sion of Washington, which will send
you a jfirden book for a two-cent
stamp for posts g.
rents that interfere with the hand
ling of the fur while it is being con
verted into hat bodies.
For years a means of banishing
the quicksilver menace has been
sought by hat manufacturers and
the successful application of the "air
washing" process to the forming mill
of the Lee factory has apparanotly
solved one of the most serious and
perplexing problems in the hat in
dustry. The danger to health, and
even to life, that results from the
jrosence of quicksilver in the close
a.r of the forming mill has not only
been recognized and made the sub
ject of serious study and countless
experiments by men in tlie hat in
dustry, but has been the subject of
a state investigation in (New Jersey
ir. the hope that some way could
be found to banish the evil and erad
icate, so far as hat factories are
concerned, tha cause of a most bane
ful "occupational'' disease. Until
now no solution of the problem has
been found.
Quicksilver is used in the carrot
ing process through which the fur
passes In the fur cutting shop, be
fore it reaches the hat factory, and
considerable of it remains in the fur.
"The shakes," hatters call the dis
tressing effects of inhaling quicksil
ver. Men and women contracting
the disease shake like persons with
the palsy, their teeth become discol
ored and decay, and they gradually
become unfitted for work. Sometimes
a loir-g rojt, away rom the poison
ous atmosphere of the forming mill,
will restore the health of the work
er seriously affected, so that ha may
return to his employment ag;:!n, but
some are permanently incapacitated
by the disease. From a humanitarian
standpoint th discovery of a means
of ridding tho air of the forming
mill of its menace of quicksilver
marks an important step forward,
and that Danbury is able to point the
way in this direction is a source of
gratification.
W. E. Heibel, chief engineer of
the American Blower Co., of Detroit,
who installed the apparatus and
worked out with Mr. Lee the many
perplexing problems that it was
found necessary to overcome in ac
commodating the "washing" system
to the requirements of a hat factory,
explained to a representative of The
Times recently what had been accom
plished and how.
- The temperature in the forming
room, where seven machines were
in operation, stood at the time at
seventy-ifive degrees and Mr. Heibe!
said it had remained at that point
all dav. The usual temperature in
the rocm before the "washing" ap
parau? was in operation stood from
eighty to one kundred degrees. The
air was clear and sweet and free of
particles of fur and was even purer.
Mr. Heibel said, f1 an the air out
side. The apparatus for "washing'-' the
air entering the factory is located
in a specially constructed annex out
side tho forming mill, and includes
a specially installed engine to operate
the mechanism by which the air ;s
drawn from the building, purified,
heated or cooled, and sent into the
factory again. To heat fresh cold
air constantly entering the building
from the outside atmosphere would
entail great expense, so warm air is
drawn from the factory, cleansed and
sent back again. It is necessary to
maintain a certain degree of hu
midity in a forming room to facili
tate the manipulation of tho fur, so
the aid is humified to the right de
gree before it is sent in. It is so nec
cessary to avoid drafts of air during
the process of forming hats that or
dinarily the entrance to a forming
room is by way of an ante-room, the
door of which is closed before that
leading into the forming room is
opened, and to maintain a constant
and even circulation of air without
causing troublesome drafts was one
of the problems that required wee!"'
of study and experimenting to worn
out.
In the "washing" apparatus the air
passes through two thick banks of
miet on its way Into the factory. The
air intake, through which the air
enters the apparatus, is the first
step in the process. From the intake
the air is filtered through a bank
of heavy mist four feet in thickness,
created by sprayers through which
water is forced. This mist bank both
"washes" and humidifies the air. Be
yond this mist the air encounters
what are termed "wet scrubber
plates." which catch and hold par
ticles of dust and other, impurities
that succeed in passing through tha
mist. Beyond these scrubber plates
is another bank of mist, three fee
thick. w::"re ths air receives its sec
ond bath. Then comes another set
of fscruber plates to pick up any
thing that chances to have survived
up to that point. ""
The air next passes through the
heating apparatus. In the banks of
mist it has become one hundred per
cent, humidified, but th heater, rais
ing the temperature cf the air to that
of the forming room, at the same
time reduces the humidity to the
right proportion. This accomplish
ed, a huge fan -sends the air into
the factory through ducts that run
s'ong the side of the building.
It is stated that tha results at
tained thus tnr are entirely satisfac
tory and there seems to be every rea
son to believe that the problem of
l:i '.ting quick - silver and the
"shades" from the forming mill of
a hat factory has at least been solved.

THE SILGE OF BATTLEFORD
It was on the first of April. 1885,
that Battleford, Baks.. was besieged
by the Indians who had been urged
by Louis Kiel, the rebel, to make war
on the paleface settlers. Battleford
was an early fort and station of the
fludsons Bay Company, at the junc
tion of Battle Creek with the Sas
katchewan river, and at the time of
the second Iiel rebellion it was the
enter of a larza Indian population.
When Rtel raised the flag of lnsur-
ectlon, late in March, 1S8B. a -large
id hostile band of redskins gathered
'Out Battleford, Several settler
.ear the village wero killed, and there
? was considerable plundering and de
! struction of property, but the cunning
chief, Poundmaker. did not permit
his braves to bring the issue to the
point of open warfare. He wns a wise
old Cre-, and he wanted to know
"which way the cat was going to
Jump" before definitely declaring
himself. The paopls of Batfleford
wait wildly alarmed by the presence
of the menacing braves around the
village, and sent out urgent appeals for
aid. A little army of 540 men, ram
paid principally of the "B" battery
of Kingston, the Queen's own and
Governor-General's Footguarda, un
der command of Usut-OoL W. P 'Ot
ter, was dispatched to tha rellsf of
Battleford. The column left SwiftcHy.
