DRESDEN CHINA WORKS
USE SEVERAL SECRETS
Bicentenary Anniversary -Cele-
brated in Saxony

During the last week a noteworthy
anniversary has been celebrated, but
informally. 1t was the bicentenary of
the foundation of the Royal porcelain
works of Saxony at Meissen, which is
near Dresden.
By order of Augustus II of Saxony
the works of Boetiger were transferred
to Albrechtburg from Meissin in ITO.
Augustus was a man of action and the
potter was a reticent person, says the
London Globe. The potter held his Sc
cret and Augustus held the potter a
prisoner for four years, so as to guard
the process. In 1719 the potter died at
the early age of 35 The secret was
vigorously kept. according to Les Nou-
velles, until 1910. when Brongniart. the
chemist, was admitted as a special
favor to Napoleon L to study the fabri-
cation. Napoleon having expressed the
wish, it was difficult to treat it other
than as command
The materials used for the fabrica-
tion of Dresden china are rose fields

'eThem's putty fair axes" said Bill.
after half a dozen different kinds of
axes had been unwrapped and sub

The best there is said Smith and
Jones in concert
A dozen men sitting on soap and
cracker boxes around the stove halted
a debate on the financial question to
watch the bargain.
What's the price," asked Bill.

together.

thing. and Smith and Jones nodded to

Supervisor Thomas O'Dowd was the
fun maker of the day, keeping things

and courtesy.
COMPETENT FLOOR COMMITTEE
The floor committee handled the crowd
in the pavilion in a creditable manner,
while the music was such that the
dancers could hardly be induced to stop
for a breathing space. The members of
the reception committee made all the
members and guests of the organization
feel at home the moment they entered
the grounds. The transportation COM
mittee was highly eonlplimented on the
facilities afforded the pleasure seekers
on the trip from San Francisco.
Aside from the regular program much
enjoyment was found in the high spirits
that pervaded the entire crowd Jokes,
good humored banter, compliments TO
the fair sex and a general good time
were unofficial features of the day. The
law and order committee was not called
upon to exercise its powers. All those
present were like members of one big
family When the time came to depart
murmurs- of regret that the day had
ended so soon were heard upon all
sides. The outing was voted the most
enjoyable in the history Of the organi-
Zation.

The pet cat was in the kitchen of a
New York restaurant when the cook 5
helper placed on the floor a basket of
Holsters he had just taken from the
storeroom. A lobster crawled out of
the basket and the cat jumped for it,.
Poor Tom! he knows better now. The
lobster was Indignant when a paw
struck the shell. The big claw fastened
on the cats tail Emitting ear split

restaurant. He was tied to her chair
When the terrier saw the cat and the
lobster he got busy. So did the lob

lobster grabbed him by the hind leg.
Howling. the dog made a jump and
pulled the chair from under Miss Le-
land. She screamed as she fell; then
she tainted.
William Mollin, the head waiter, ran
up when he heard the scream. Cat,
dog and lobster got tangled up with
Mollin's feet and threw him. Then the

hung on.
The restaurant was in an uproar.
