MAKING
GLUE FOR
UNCLE SAM

Thenext time you lick stamp think
of it,
The Hammond Glue works is max
ing all of the glue that Uncle Sam uses
in it's bool<binding and printing de-
partments. This means that every post
age stamp which goes out, every
stamped envelope and every book that
is issued from the largest printing
establishment IN the world bears a
Hammond product.
Thomas Swanton, the manager of
the Hammond Glue works. said today.
Uncle Sam is the most particular Gus
toner we have. The glue must not
only be the best that is manufactured,
but it must be put up in the best of
barrels and must be shipped just So
1t is understood that the United
States government uses $4,000 pounds
of Hammond glue every month. This
makes the market for the Hammond
product steady it could possibly
be.
According to Swanton. the Hammond
Glue works is the busiest it has ever
been in its history and a large num-
Der of well paid men are employed.

BOSTON MOTHER cHUReA

Science circles that during the last
week a protest was sent to the
board of directors of the church
at Boston against the surveillance
Of guards at the tomb of Mrs. Eddy
in Cambridge, Mass. This protest
is reported to have been made by
adherents of Mrs. Augusta Stetson,
founder of the First Church of
Christ, Scientist, Of New York, who
was accommodated from the
church after trial by the Boston
directors.
The reason fo- the protest Is de-
clared to be the inherent belief
among the Stetson followers that
Mrs. Eddy will arise from the dead
and that the placing of guards
shows a lack of faith among the
Boston directors in her ability to
do 30. The directors, they main
tain, in keeping the guards at the
tomb are merely protecting a body
which, according to Mrs. Eddy's
teachings, did not exist in the ma
terialistic sense. They point out
that Mrs. Eddy taught that the
