neck is then thrust into small fur
mace where it again becomes red
hot. Removing the hot bottle from
the furnace he takes up another
tool. from which he gets his name
. gaffer." This is made in two
pieces, one of which fits into the
neck, the other on the outside; the
bottle is then rolled to and fro in a
rapid manner thus forming perfect
neck.
Now the carry-in" boy comes
with paddle fixed to long handle
on which about a dozen bottles are
placed and taken to the transferring
oven, for as yet the glass is very
brittle. The tempering oven is
probably one hundred feet long and
eight or ten feet wide, the bottom
is formed Of light steel plates fast
ened to an endless chain on sprock-
cts. with large crank wheel at
certain distances. Gas Jets burn to
give the heat for tempering. The
bottles are placed in the front end
of the oven and taken out of the
back after passing through the heat
caused by the jets. This heat is
greatest in the center and as the
movement of the bottles is very
slow they are cold when taken out
at the back. when they are then
packed ready for shipment. This
description also covers the lamp
and lantern globe industry.
We will now visit a window glass
factory. The shape and construc-
tion of the factory is much the same
as the bottle factory, with the ex-
ception that the blowing room is in
what could really be called second
story, as it is raised above the
ground level twelve or fourteen
feet. In some houses this blowing
space is made by the construction of
cellar; but it is usually cheaper to
build the extra height than it is to
dig the necessary depth. The melt
ing pot, OF furnace also is different,
in that it is round and placed in the
center of the room. The "gatherers'
in window houses usually wear face
masks of wood with two square
holes covered with colored glass to
protect the face and eyes from the
intense heat. Adam is also closely
copied in the matter of clothes; a
thin undershirt and overalls being
about all that is worn.
The gathering" is done on blow
pipes the same as in bottle manufac-
turing; the pipe or tube being some
what longer and heavier. The
amount of hot glass gathered de-
pends on what blower the gatherer
is working with; if for the man
blowing what is called the big
hole" or big ring" it is the size of
your two fists; it for one of the less
er lights, Gas the man who blows
the big hole'' is the king pin of
the factory, the amount is less.
The roller is started in the same
way as for a bottle by slight blow
ing and turning.
Now to go back and describe the
of the blowing room

The Glass Industry
Slivers
Slivers

Did you ever stop and wonder
how glass was made, when you
looked out of window or held a
bottle in your hand? Few do, yet
1t takes many men and operations
before the perfect product reaches
the consumer.
The industry is divided into sew
eral distinct branches, namely:
window, bottle, cut glass, lamp and
lantern chimneys and plate, or
pressed glass. Not being acquaint-
ed with the plate glass industry,
shall deal only with the others
named. All bottles. lamp chin
neys, etc., are hand blown, moulds
being used only to give the correct
shape and size, while window glass
is blown in large rollers without the
use of moulds. Cut glass is blown
by the use of moulds.
First: the bottle industry. In most
factories three eight hour shifts are
worked, with a fifteen minute
temple" or rest every two and one
half hours, and if this rest is not
given promptly when it is due, the
carry.in" boys will call your at
tention to the fact by their loud AMI
repeated calls. we want tenn
ple!'-they always get it. The
glass factory, or house." as it is
usually called, is not unlike other
factories, only that it is rarely more
than one story in height. Its floors
are of brick, it's roof series of Gu
polas; the melting pot is usually
placed at one end of the blowing
room. 1t has a series of small
openings-like stove doors-at reg
ular spaced intervals from which
the melted glass is taken up by the
"gatherer' on the blow pipes. The
blow pipes, with the small ball of
red hot glass, are passed to the
blower" who starts the bottle by
blowing and turning the pipe.
When the bottle is started the hot
glass is placed in the mould which
is then closed by the mould hold
err" and the blower finishes the
bottle. AS soon as the bottle is
finished the blower gives the mould
holder sign and he opens the
mould, snaps the blow-pipe off, and
lifts the hot bottle out with a pair
of pincers that fits the neck Of the
bottle, placing it on the gaffer's"
rack.
Now take any bottle you may
have at hand, examine the neck and
mouth of it and observe how
smooth and perfect it is in shape.
To make it so has been the gaff-
er's" work. When it came to him
it was rough and imperfect, when it
left him it was as you now see it.
How is it made so? Watch closely
and you will see that the gaffero
has holder that fits the body Of the
bottle, into which 1t is placed. The

ing of the men from class to class
with the idea of properly placing
them, has been finished. The even
ing has been divided into 3 periods
of 80 minutes each. Bell is tapped
at the end of each period.
We notice there is bill pending
before the Kansas legislature max
ing it misdemeanor to have in
ones possession intoxicating liquors
in any quantity. Doesn't even stand
for half-pi Our opinion is that
altho prohibition state, the bill
will not be passed. What in the
world would some of these so-called
"prohibs" do?
Casting about and observing a
few things, especially in the east,
we, as inmates are glad or ought to
be that politics play no part in the
operation of our state institutions.
1t takes long time to build up an
efficient organization, and when
builders of such organizations real
ize that every year or two they are
in danger of losing their positions,
can you blame them for letting mat
ters drift? Who are the sufferers?
The taxpayer and the unfortunates
who are confined in the institutions.
The Deputy Warden, after exper-
with the formation of in
mates into squads prior to leaving
dollhouse in the morning, with the
end in view of clearing galleries
promptly, avoiding confusion and
quickest possible dispatch of the
various crews, has the idea now
working so that from the time of the
first tap of the gong until the last
man marches out of cell room, only
about five minutes elapse. Check
Ing up each morning last week the
average was A minutes. This rep
resents the handling of approximate
ly 800 men on 4 galleries, divided in

ing as choir master and takes an in
terest in the work. A half hearted
spirit will not bring results, espec-
tally where music is concerned. Co.
operate, put your heart and soul in
to the work and notice the improve
ment. All this of course, provided you
have some talent. All the rest of
the inmates enjoy a good choir,
which increases the value of our var
ious services and puts more fervor
and feeling into them. Make your
self known to the Deputy Warden
if you think you can help the good
work along.
