Astor Baby Arrives;
Heir to Three Millions

New York, Aug. IA. Mrs.
Madeline Force Astor, survivor
of the Titantic disaster in which
her husband, Col. John Jacob
Aston lost his life, gave birth to
a son at S:15 o'clock this morn
ing.
The new arrival has been nam
ed John Jacob Astor after his
father. The boy becomes direct
heir to So 100000 Of the Astor
fortune.
News of the arrival of the As
tor baby was made known in a
bulletin issued by DR.. Edwin B.
Craigin, the attending physician.
The bulletin reads:
Mrs. 4 stor has son, born at
8:15 o'clock. His name is John
Jacob Astor. Mother and son in
good condition.
The fact that his father proved
himself a hero in the Titantic
disaster and that his wife from
whom he then parted was his
bride of only a few months, coupl-
ed with the large fortune which
was provided for a posthumous
child, have lent unusual interest
to the J oungster Astor.
The new Aston baby will be
one of the few children ever born
with a fortune as large as So. OOO,-
coo in it's own right.
Colonel Astor had provided
whether the child was a boy or
girl, it should receive So, 900, 900.
Even if the stork had brought
more than one child, Col. Astor's
will covered that contingency,
because it reads as follows:
81 bequeath such number OF
separate sums of So, 900. 900 each
as Shall be equal to the number
of nv children who shall survive
me other than my son VIM. Vim
cent Astor and my daughter, Ava
Muriel Aston.
The latter children are by Col.
Astor's first wife, Mrs. Avon
Willing Aston.

is what the Glassworker says in part
about window glass factory opera
tons:
According to the best advices OBJ
tainable both hand machine plants
are well supplied with orders and
the general trade outlook is favor
able Tor good seasons business.
The political landslide which resulted
in the election OF Wilson and Mar
shall has n& had detrimental eff
feet on this industry as yet, although
there are some manufacturers who
express concern with reference to
action that may be taken when the
new administration is in power.
However, the general trend of the
trade is buoyant and the factories in
all sections OF the country are busily
engaged turning out glass.
Business has been fairly brisk
during the week and very few
complaints have been registered on
this score. Taken all in all there
has probably never before been a
presidential election in which the
business OF the country has been re-
tarded to such a light extent as dur
ing the campaign which has just
been brought 10 close. The gem
eral tone in the trade is optimistic
and 1t is to be fervently hoped that
nothing will occur to put a crimp in
the present era Of prosperity.
