ged caricature of the canine race that
it must have been born under bureau
hit the mark exactly. The nose smit-

Marbles sunport n state.

1t is said that the making of marbles,
SO dear to the heart of the small boy, Is
the main support Of the poor in the
state Of Thuringia, Germany. They
gather small square stones and grind
them in machines similar to coffee mills
until they are rounded. "Commies,"
agates and "bullseyes" are made in
that way.
Glass alleys with the varicolored
streaks in them are blown by the glass
blowers of Lanscha. They take bits Of
white, red and blue glass and blow
them together into twist.
