Glazing Windows Without Putty.


Glass panes can be held in place
without the use of putty by the use Of
flexible metal or rubber strip like
a partly open tube laid upon the pane
and held down by a set of clamps
spaced along the pane, says the Scien-
tho American. First apply the pane
OF glass so as to fit it into the usual
recess, then lay the prepared metal
spring strip along one side and screw
on plate at the corners of the pane
ana, say one at the middle, these be-
ing flat plates with a somewhat in
curved edge where they take hold CT
the spring strip, and are screwed on
the woodwork at the side of the pane
with the curved edge projecting out
and over the pane so as to inclose the,
strip. The latter are of course put
on at all four sides of the pane.
A double pane with air space be-
tween can be applied by using deep
recess and just laying the pane, then
the strip, next a second pane and
nnally strip that now comes flush
with the woodwork and can be fas-
tened down by the metal plate as be-
fore.

Persons who CHANGED to be in the

The new federal law forbidding the
sale of Intoxicating liquors to any Of
ficer or member of the military forces
OF the United States while in uniform
went into effect on the day it received
the signature of the president. 1t is
officially construed as applying to ev-
cry man in uniform, whether a sol
der or a sailor. It affects every sa-
loon, cafe restaurant or place where
liquor is sold, without exception
Assistant United States District At
-torney John c.. Knox of New York
questioned concerning the spirit in
which the law is likely to be en-
forced, said: ut will be enforced rig
orously. If a waiter or bartender OBJ
serves that civilians persist in buying
drinks for uniformed men, then, it
seems to me, that waiter or bartender
would be liable to prosecution for per-
hitting violation of the spirit of the
law in his place. And it seems to me
there might be action against the
civilians" 1t is important that wide
publicity should be given to this in
formation in order that everybody
may realize the situation, fer it is an
old legal maxim that no man may es-
cape punishment by pleading ignor-
ance of the law.
