MACHINE THAT BLOWS GLASS
American Engineer Said to Have In
vented Really Practical Labor
Saving Device.

Common, ordinary window glass is
one of the few Industrial products of
which the method of making has prac-
tically remained stationary.
From time to time attempts have
been made to use mechanical appara.
tus for blowing the glass. but the re-
suits have been unsatisfactory and the
old method has persisted.
The workman blows a cylinder of
glass, which is then split open length
wise and carried to furnace, where
1t opens out under the influence of the
heat A slow process. consequently
expensive. and above all injurious to
the health of the blowers.
Now an American engineer has Just
invented a simple machine for which,
when certain difficulties are overcome.
great success is hoped. The glass Is
made like paper, then a sheet of the
paste is drawn vertically from the tub,
and this a horizontal cylinder carries
over an endless table, then into an an
healing furnace, from which comes
forth an uninterrupted band of glass.
that can be cut off in desired lengths.
One of the greatest difficulties in
this method is to prevent the glass
paste from growing thinner by its own
weight as 1t is drawn from the tub.
This problem has been solved by plac-
ing in the tub two balls that rotate
rapidly from the bottom to the top.
which has the effect of continually
drawing masses of glass towards the
top, thus counteracting the tendency
to string down and contract.
With this new method single fur.
mace can produce ~ tons of glass
every "a hours. and all its service re-
quires is Waterman. a cutter and two
boys to take away the panes.
BY the present method of blowing,
1t would take "a men to produce the
same result.

The New York state legislature has
passed the measure appropriating $lO,-
900 for the erection of a suitable mon
ument in Undertook in memory OF
Martin Van Buren,, eighth president or
the United States, and the first presl-
dent of the nation chosen from New
York state. He was also the first OF
the presidents born after the United
States became an independent nation.
If the bill becomes a law, as seems
probable, the governor will appoint
commission of five residents of Column
bia county to select site in the VII
lage of Undertook, probably In the
village park, choose the design and
superintend the erection of the memo
rial.
President Van Buren, was born In
Undertook December 8, 1882. made
his home there during a major part
of his life. being Familiarity denoted
in his later years as the Sage of Kin
derhook," and died there July "a. 1862
almost an octogenarian. His grave In
the village cemetery is marked only
by a small monument.
Many evidences of his life in the
Sldlu Olu SNib
At the side of the village street stands
remodeled dwelling pointed out as
the birthplace of Van Buren,. although
what remains OF the original building
is an addition to the present main
structure the old hand -hewn timbers
and the walls bearing every evidence
of their antiquity. "Lindenwald," the
estate Just south of the village, where
Van Buren, lived in dignified retire
ment during the declining years of his
life, is more closely associated. per
haps, with the man whose memory the
state now seeks to honor The hos
pitable residence, fronted by great
trees, and surrounded by a fertile
farm, remains to-day very much as it
was when Van Buren, died there. The
property is now occupied by Adam
Wagner, the present owner.
The life history of Martin Van Buren,
is one of rapid progress to place OF
prominence in his state and in the
nation. The son of farmer, he at
tended the academy at Undertook in
his youth, and at IA years of age be-
gan the study of law, finishing in the
Office of William p. Van Ness in New
York, and being admitted to the bar in
1903. Before reaching his majority he
was active in political affairs. and in
1903 was made surrogate of Columbia
county, the youngest surrogate that
county has ever had. He was elected
to the state senate in 1872. from 1915
to 1919 served as attorney-general. and
was again sent to the senate. The re-
organization of the Democratic party
in 1918 was directed by him, and he
was a leading member of the Albany
regency In 1921 he was chosen
United States senator from New York.
and in the same year was member
of the convention for revision of the
state constitution. In 1927 he was re-
elected as United States senator, but
resigned in 1928 on being elected gov
ernor of New York state. In March,

state in President Jackson's cabinet,

PRIcE-PAYABLe N ADVANCE

This issue of the Democrat marks
eur Both anniversary as publisher.
The proper thing for us to have done
would have been to celebrate this
event, but we have really been too
busy to think about details of such an
affair. People generally recognize
that the Gloucester County Democrat
is better newspaper now than at
any other period of its history. Its
news service is better organized, and
more efficient than ever before; its
equipment is the best possible for a
weekly newspaper to possess; its cir
culation is at high water mark, 1000
copies, of 10000 readers each week.
That our efforts have been thus ap-
preciated is source of great salts
faction. 1t is the result of steady and
answering fidelity to this press OF
old friends, and the general prosperity
that has come to this favored section
of our fair land.
This press is one of the institutions
of the county; it shall be our contin-
ued effort to make it an agency for
good-for sustaining, up-building and
expanding the forces that make for
prosperity and happiness, and enure
to the greatest good of the people.
