AUSTRALIAN WOOL SALES RESUMED
RACK FOR HOLDING PIANO ENDS
Greater Part of Wool Offered in London and
Australia Sold Above the Minimum Price
Plan for a Rack That Will Save Time and
Trouble in Piano Plants
Public sales of wool in Australia, which had
been suspended during March, were resumed in
Melbourne and other centers early in May.
Prices realized were above the minimum fixed
by the British-Australian Wool Realization As-
sociation, according to the July 11 issue of Com-
merce Reports.
One hundred thousand bales were offered dur-
ing May, and of this amount 90,000 bales were
disposed of at an average price somewhat above
8d. per pound. In London 100,000 bales were
offered and mostly sold, while some 30,000 bales
of new wool, which had arrived there before the
fixing of the minimum price, were disposed of.
In the two countries the amount of Australian
wool unsold was reduced during May by about
220,000 bales. The bulk of the wool sold in both
countries was of the 1920-21 Australian clip, re-
ducing the amount, unsold to about 580,000 bales
and leaving the carry-over wool at approxi-
mately 1,700,000 bales, or a total of unsold Aus-
tralian wool of 2,280,000. The best of the new
wools have now been disposed of and the un-
sold wool is mainly of inferior merino, medium
crossbred and inferior to low-grade wool of all
kinds.
When piano ends have been assembled—that
is, when the arms and toe blocks have been
attached and the final sanding and inspection
given to these parts—they are rather awkward
things to handle.
The usual plan of storing them before they
go to the finishing room is to stand them in

GERMAN PIANOSJ.EAD IN AFRICA
SIDE ELEVATION
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 18.—The principal im-
ports from Germany into South Africa in 1920
were pianos and other musical instruments, ac-*
cording to statistics published in the Commerce
Keports issued by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. Pianos led all other Ger-
man exports to this territory, with a total value
of $622,000. Miscellaneous musical instruments
were second on the list, with a value of $399,000.

This can be avoided to some extent by se-
curing a handscrew to the tops of each end
pair, but the accident is liable to happen just
the same when these handscrews have been
removed to transfer the stock to the finishing
room.
In a plant visited a few days ago they take
no chances on accidents of this kind, writes
Browning in Veneers. They use a number of
trucks like that illustrated in the accompany-
ing sketch. When the workman finishes the
ends they are placed in pairs on one of these
trucks. Heavy dowel stock (A in the sketch),
driven through holes bored in a cross-piece,
keeps the ends in an upright position. When the
job is finished the trucks are placed out of the
way in the cabinet room or taken to the finish-
ing room, where the stock is transferred to suit-
able racks. It is an application of the "safety-
first" idea and it undoubtedly pays.

Write for a sample can of Behlen's
Varnish Crack Eradicator and try it.
Once you learn how much it means to
you in the saving of time on your refin-
ishing jobs by eliminating the necessity
of scraping off old varnish and shellac,
and how much more satisfactory are
the results, because of the better sur-
face it gives to work on, you, like others
will continue to use it.
