How Window Glass Is Made,

Window glass is blown in the shape
Of long cylinders, which are cut open
along one side and then placed on a
stone in a hot furnace, where they
gradually collapse and flatten out into
n big sheet of glass. Often the glass
breaks during this process, or even ex-
piodes, forming thousands of pieces.

There are many varieties of moths
and some are called moth millers be-
cause of the dusty appearance of their
wings. The term moth miller does not
indicate any particular variety. They
are all destructive. The ordinary

camphor.

the first step in the governments

ton will take the form of raids and

Pitcher Douglas of Cubs Trying Comeback
 Like "Hack" Spencer

It may be that Shufflin' Phil Doug las has learned a lesson from Hack Spencer, writes Ralph s. Davis in the Pittsburg Press. The latter finally discovered, after wasting years of his life, that it is impossible to mix booze and baseball. Therefore, Hack cut out the booze, instead of following the example of Larry Mclean, Bugs Ray mond and other well known charac- ters, and allowing booze to cut out baseball. Spencer is catching great ball for Detroit this spring, and seems to be sincere in his determination to lead a straight life Douglas had habits which caused him to be turned loose by a half doz- en major league clubs. He possessed ability in large measure, but would not buckle down to labor. He pre- ferred the night life. Finally Fred Mitchell manager of the Cubs grant ed him. another chance, warning him that 1t was probably his last.
 According to reports. Douglass has been doing great work, and keeping himself in fine condition. He prov ed long since that he has the ability and if he stays on the narrow path way, he. ought to make a grand rec ord.

 FOR TANKS THIS YEAR

New York, May 5.-Peckinpaugh of the Yankees is again hitting as he did the first year he came here. when for Ia while he was banging away around 200. At one time Chance had him hit ting in the cleanup position. He fin Iished that year with an average o4 .26S, only to fall off to .223 in 1914 and
 .220 in 1915. Last year Roger started to rise
 again and hit .255, a gain of 35 points
 over 1915. If Peck gets back to his 26S stride of 1913 he will be without

 At the close of the twenty-sixth 1 week the contest is just half over. |. During these first six months each hen has averaged to lay 73 eggs as compared with I'M eggs per hen in the first six months last year.
