YORK, Editor CHICAGO, ILL., FEBRUARY 14,1907 Vol. XLVII—No. 7 .XJ7:".'»-'-'-,-^>'t-. editorial Motes and Comments ,x' Cleaning Sections—Answering Ques- tions We have received the following from a California subscriber; Editor York :—Kindly read " Colorado's "' question No. 2, on page 7S6 (1906), and you will see that it says, verbatim: '* How many cases of 24 sections does your best hand clean in a day?
