ONLY THREE MEN LEFT IN y.
&. TO MAKE GLASS EYES

Denver, Col.-Wanted: Skilled glass
blowers who can make glass eyes.
There are only three persons in the
United States who make glass eyes,
according to Aaron Kohler. one OF the
three, who has his shop in Denver. Al
the beginning Of the world war one
person out of every 200 in the world
wore a glass eye, Kohler declares.
Since the war the ratio has increased.
and Kohler doesn't attempt to say
what the proportion is today. But he
does say the demand is so far in ex-
cess of the supply that it will be
generation before "the trade" has
caught up with its orders. And, mas
much as the average life Of glass
eye is only one year, the situation is
really alarming. Glass eye making is
an art practiced mostly in Europe.
