The wood knob on the holder for my irons became charred from the heat and finally broke away from the pin. The pin would get so hot in continued use that it could not be moved without burning my fingers. I remedied the difficulty by attaching a short string to the handle and the pin. A pull on the string with the forefinger readily released the iron. I have found this better than the knob, as it is handier to use. - Contributed by Mrs. H. C. Dixon, Johnstown, Pa.
