With the earnest words of a pleading

The German Glass Industry During
the War

the War
The Bremen Burger-Zeitung (Aug.
49, writes:
1.-THE German glass industry had de-
veloped before the war into an impor-
tant export business, and even in 1915
glass goods to the value of 100000
marks (about $50, OOO,0OO) were ex-
ported abroad. Since the outbreak of
the war, however, the glass industry
has been subject to continual upheav-
ais and has been in constant danger
In the first place, the cessation of ex-
port trade threw most of the workmen
out Of employment, and when the in
dustry slowly recovered, owing to the
increasing demands of the army and
orders from the preserving trade, it
suffered a heavy blow owing to large
numbers of glassworkers being called
up for military service, for each glass
worker has his particular part in the
work, and when one link in the chain
Of workers is removed the separated
links can only slowly be joined to-
gether again. The confscation Of
soda followed, but substitute was
found which enabled production to
continue. The confscation of straw
and the shortage of railway trucks re-
stricted consignments, and now the
glass industry, always very large
consumer, is to be deprived Of it. The
bottle industry will turn out only l s.
600 tons of goods per year instead of
81, 900 tons, it's former annual output
In order to save coal, glass factories
are to be amalgamated but as there
can scarcely be two such factories in
one place, this necessitates change
Of habitation for the workmen. Then,
too, a. comparatively large number of
glassworkers will be out of work for
longer or shorter period, and the
trade union, whose funds at the out
break of the war sustained the sever
est possible strain, finds itself therefore
faced by a catastrophe. The chief
committee Of the Glassworkers' Union
has accordingly addressed an urgent
petition to the government, praying
it not to deprive the glassworkers Of
their right to work and food and not
to add to their already great suffer-
ings and privations."

A CHRISTMAS LETTER.
Vestige of Ye Olden Days When little
Boys and Girls Always Wrote
Letters Carrying Resolutions.

IT is not too long after Christmas
to contemplate the subjoined letter
written by a ten-y ear-old boy to his
mother. In the olden days, in what
some folk love to call "the good old
days. letters of this fashion were the
style. Every little boy and every lit
tie girl, always wrote a letter to
mother at Christmas. Or, perchance,
to father. At any rate, there was a
letter written. Sometimes it was to a
guardian. Som etimes it was to grand
mother, Or to grandfather. Always
it carried the New Years resolution
to be a better boy or a better girl
That is the keynote of this charming
little epistle:
Dear Mother:
I hope this Christmas present will
mean a lot to you and a lot to me.
I wish God would take away my bad
tempter.
I think the voice IN my heart was
not working at all this year but I
hope it will next year and anything
you want me to do I will try my best
to do it for you.
And 7 don't want to be scolded all
the time I should think you could
not stand it any more.
I don't want to be fighting with
Louise or Granny or daddy or you.
And I want you to ask God to for
give me everything I have done to
hurt your feeling.
And 7 wish to mind you all the
time at home or any place.
And I hope to follow Gods COM
mands and yours all the days Of my
life. 7 wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
Your loving son,
JOHNNY.
