Before the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war Belgium was the largest
producing nation of window glass.
Ninety-hve per cent OF the production
was exported. and much OF it came to
the Pacific coast OF the United States
where it undersold the output OF this
country Prior to the war England
made sufficient window glass to care
for its own demands and surplus
which was exported to the colonies
and to South America. Since 1911
practically nothing has been manu-
featured by these two nations and the
resultant demand has kept the
American factories busy on 24hour
days. The situation Is responsible

which had been abandoned.

their scanty knowledge to make crude

to combine use with beauty.
Glass vessels and dishes appeared

workmen devised wonderful color
schemes to enhance the charm of the
new material. IN coarse form it was

in the early centuries Of the Christian
era. From appearance the glass used
for this purpose was cast on a stone,
and like most specimens OF the period
was full of bubbles and other defects.
Romans Were Artists.
The pure and crystalline glass,
which is known today was regarded
then as rare and valuable. Most o.
