. Canadian forest industries January-June 1912. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. I Before Amb Afte-r Using. wash his hands he puts his foot on a treadle on one end of a lever about five feet long. Between his foot and the fulcrum of the lever is a rod extending to a projection about two inches long on the lid back of the hinge. When he presses his foot down the rod pulls down projection of the lid and lid is raised from a horizontal to a vertical position and the bucket is open for use. A stopper should prevent lid being pulled so far back that it will not close when the foot is taken off the treadle and a weight on the other end of the lever keeps the treadle up when it is not in use. This lid should be separate from the pail, since the pail has to be emptied at times and fresh naphtha placed in it. Any mill mechanic can adapt this same principle to the large dip tanks, so that while a workman stands on a platform in front of tank, the cover will be up, and when the workman leaves, the cover will close. It is suggested that if self-closing wash pails are not used that the naphtha be kept in the safety benzine cans and be used from them It is also suggested that the use of benzine for washing be prohibited and that kerosene be supplied for washing purposes. Where small articles are dipped they are hung upon sticks or hooks over the drain board. We find that these hooks and sticks when not in use, are kept in open pans of naphtha. These pans' should have automatic covers like the wash pails. Sticks had better be kept vertically in deep cans, say eight inches square, rather than horizontally m pans eight inches by forty inches or sixty inches since the surface of the naphtha exposed is less and a self-closing cover is more easily applied. Hooks can be kept in covered pails. Brushes which are cleaned and kept in naphtha should be kept m self-closing pails. The loss from evaporation due to open tanks of a napht
