Substitute for Glass

From the Indianapolis News.
 The glass used as windows in auto mobile bodies, particularly in the sedan and limousine types, has been source of danger, due to the spintering in acci- dents, and manufacturers have long sought an efficient substitute Cellu- Ibid and mica. while used to a large eX- tent in touring car tops, have not been entirely satisfactory. A new mate rial called cellon is according to the Scientific American, now being made by one of the largest manufacturers of explosives. It is said to be practically nnbreakable. Sheets of it can be bent backward and forward many times without breaking and blocks of 1t can be subjected to heavy blows without fl acture It can be produced ln any desired thickness up to half an inch and in plates of large size. A sheet of cellon may be ignited by an open flame, 'hut the burning portion will melt and a few drops fall to the ground. It will not continue to burn. 1t can be fas- tened down by mailing, or, in case of the thin sheets, by sewing. or 1t can be glued It can be put to any-of the uses. of celluloid. as, in toilet articles, switchboards, etc. It can be cut and trimmed with an ordinary knife, warmed in hot water and moded to any de- sired shape. No figures regarding it's cost of production, which will deter mine it's ultimate usefulness, are avail able.

Good Industrial News Pre- dominates, Says Dun's
 Trade Review

New York, June 25.-Dun's tomorrow will say:
 Cross currents continue in business channels, but the tide of returning pros- perity is gradually rising Good news still predominates and further progress is man. ifest, notwithstanding the unreasonable weather at many points, and especially in the west. This retards the retail dis trbution of merchandise and tends to ad- versely affect the jobbing trade as well, while the agricultural outlook has been somewhat impaired by excessive rain. Harvesting of winter wheat is delayed and corn has received a setback yet crop failures from too much moisture are com paratively rare, the other extreme hav- ing furnished the great records of loss. The depressing influences are the less keenly felt because they are believed to be temporary, and confidence in the future remains unshaken. Although July dividend payments will not equal last years by ap- proximately s47O0,O00, it is a hopeful sign that of late several corporate interests have announced increased disbursements, two railroads operating in the middle west

France has arranged for a large loan at this center. The proceeds of this will be used to finance part of the heavy purchases of wan supplies in this country, and so urgent have the for eign demands become that the iron and steel plants are steadily adding to pro- ductive capacity. While some disturbances are apparent, no serious labor controyer- sies threaten and the growing shortage of skilled wor<men is about the only cloud in the industrial sky.

sions of the ordinance Of a fine not ex
ceeding 500 or Imprisonment for no
more than six months or both.

British March on Washington.

One hundred years ago saw the
first practical step in advance Of the
British naval and military expedition
against the city of Washington. There
were two rivers by which Washington
might be approached-the Potomac,
on which 1t is situated, and the Patux'
emit, flowing in the rear. The British
commander chose the latter, both on
account of the facility Of access and
for the purpose of destroying the feet
Of American gunboats which had Ia
ken refuge In it's creeks. This object
was successfully accomplished on Au
gust 20--fifteen of the gunboats being
destroyed and one captured, together
with fourteen merchant vessels. The
next day the British army effected {
landing.
