ADDITION TO
CLASS PLANT
At GRAFTON
Is to Be Made by the Tygarts
Valley Glass Company
Whose Business Grows.

GRAFTON, March 25.-Improve-
ments to Its plant that will represent
an outlay of several thousand dollars
have been made or will be made in the
near future by the Tygarts Valley
Glass Company at It's plant in the
Beaumont addition. The company Is
having good business with a weekly
output of about fourteen cars OF ware.
Last month. however, extra orders
enabled the company to ship eighty
four cars, and use up practically all
the surplus +ware in stock Every
thing points to continuance OF pros
pertty for this plant.
Recently it was found that the pow
err was not what 1t should be and a
new and larger engine has been pur-
chased and delivered on the ground.
1t is to be used with the old dynamo
and will considerably increase the
power for the plant.
The main building was recently
widened the width OF the loading plat
form and cover shed placed over the
space between the ware room and the
main factory. A high fence Is being
built around part OF the property, also.
Some other improvements are c0ntem-
plated but have not been decided upon
definitely by the company. The ques-
tion OF the proposed increased gas rate
is serious matter to the glass fac
tory and the results of the action OF
the gas company is being watched
CLOSELY by the company.

rotary Pearson says If the alleged

Audubon authorities certainly are
against It's use in millinery.

'"The feathers Of wild birds cannot

said Mr.. Pearson, "and therefore

hand, ostrich feathers arc legitimate
as well as beautiful decorations and
are approved by tk Audubon no

This matter of big gums has been

made II such factor that a now

Registry Branch
A visit to the registry branch OF
tho war office gave an Idea OF the I'M
menBlty Of the work going on, for this
branch receives everything coming In
and distributes the business to all
branches. Over 100000 letters are
received every week, and Of these an
average of 10000 go through the
Formally of registering. Once reg
lstered, communication IL an OF
fIclal record Of the government. event
ually under the control Of the master

OF this vast influx OF 10000 pieces OF
separate war business Is prOdigiouS
work. Ten youths were NJ

A war communication addressed per-

other official. Is delivered direct. but
unless personally addressed 1t Is part
of the war office business. and goes
to one OF the 100 branches, accord
Ing to the subject treated. There is
no time for high-soundtng titles. and
so every branch and every official Is
known by group OF letters. and
every officer In the service has q
number. This registery branch
under the direction OF one or the
veteran members Of Sir Reginald
Brade's staff, Mr.. Pedley, Is model
OF efficiency In the handling OF the
avalanche OF documents which the
war turns loose OH every branch OF
the war office. Going down In the
sub-bascment, below the level Of the
Thames, ono could see the bewilder-
Ing viatas of documents, stretching
for long distances but arranged with
mathematical percIsion for instant
reference us government record
One OF the curious requirements
growing out OF the rush Of war work
Is the need OF 4 starr or seaTcheTs
to look up lost documents. The
"searchers" make their rounds every
morning. Very often In the pressure
OF many kinds of work. an important
war record will get laid aside or
covered up on some desk. and 1t is
the business '"searchers"
ferret out every lost=record and get
II bacIt nEafn in the regular channels.
Although this glimpse of the war
office and the passing exchanges with
the many officials along the miles of
offices, gave the impression of per-
fectly regulated machine with the
steam uage wide open and working
under full pressure; and from end to
end of this vast establishment, along
with the sure and steady mOyem
was the spirit everywhere manifest
and expressed among these war work
ers: Let us do our part to win
the war"

The main divisions are the general

RauF Bigod was the first master of
ordnance. That was the time the
Germans were using these strange
engines called artillery. throwing
enormous stones. So the English
appointed master of ordnance. and
soon after Ferdinand of Spain also
got some of these new engines of
warfare and with them succeeded at
last in battering down the walls of
Grenada and driving the Moors out
OF Spain. From that time on artill-
cry was main factor in settling
wars. and in England such men as the
Duke of Marlborough, Lord Corn

came the master general OF ordnance.

War on tho "peace hat" a late
creation in spring millinery, is an i'm
minent possibility. Women friends
of the birds declare the dove with
which the hat is trimmed must go
before they will set the hat on their
fair heads. They are for peace. they
declnre, but they say they will not
advertise their principles at the
price of IN innocent birds life.
Privately. those who are advocat-
ing the wearing of the "peace hat"
have confessed that the alleged
"dove" Is not "real-for-sure" dove
at all. They say 1t Ia made Of chicken
feathers. Nevertheless the bird
champions declare It looks like a
real dove and they will not wear 1t.
