WINDOW GLASS AN ADHESIVE
slight Change in Manner OF Pro
duction Makes Excellent Glue

Take an ordinary piece Of window
glass and it doesn't look like mucilage
nor like an egg preservative.
And yet james G. Vail, speaking be
fore members of the American Chem
icsl Society. said that window glass
and the finest kind of minera adhesive
and egg preservative are just about as
close TO each other as cheek is to jowl
Ordinary window glass" he said
sis made from sand, soda aud lime
melted together in a furnace. If we
leave out the lime and increase the
quantity of soda the furnace Yields a
product, silicate of soda. which looks
exactly like glass. but which dissolyes
in water and produces water glass. It
has long been used for preserving eggs,
but lately it has been found to be Il
strong adhesive. 1t sets rapidly and is
much cheaper than glue.

AUSTRIA WANTS
TERMS MODIFIED
Karl Renner Urges Protest
Against Rigor of Terri
torial Clauses
BY the Associated Press

Paris. Sept 4.-Before leaving for
Vienna Tuesday night after receiving
the final draft of the Austrian peace
treaty. DIR. Karl Renner, head OF the
Austrian delegation, said in an inter =
view that the communications made II
the Austrians by the peace conference
showed that the Allies understood per-
fectly we'll the economic situation of
Austria and had adopted a benevolent
attitude in this connection.
He thought, however, that Austria in
her reply should again protest against
the rigor Of the territorial clauses In
the treaty.
The Supreme Council of the Peace
Conference has decided to grant. the re-
quest of the Austrian peace delegation
for two days delay in the time for pre-
senting the Austrian answer.
The answer, according to the covering
letter, was to be in the hands of the
conference on Sept. z, but now the
answer will not be required before
Tuesday of next week.
Satisfaction is expressed in Italian
circles at the outcome Of Signor Tit
toni's trip to Dcauville, from which
place he returned after a conference
with the British prime minister, Mr..
Lloyd George. .u.- .. ....
While no official communication has
been given out, it is learned from re
liable authority that an agreement has
been reached from which solution of
the Italian problem is expected. Ac-
cording to this information the three
governments who are parties TO the
pact of London have decided to send a
collective note to President Wilson,
asking him to give his assent to com =
promise which the signatories consider
adeouatp

Obstructionists Now TO Hurry
There is apparent disposition 10
rush the treaty through to adoption
during the Presidents absence. The
Republican obstructionists have heard
from tho country and arc in a mild
panic. 1t is now regarded as good poll
ties to hurry. An carly passage of the
treaty, without amendments and with
mild reservations. is indicated. The
leadership Of Senators kellogg and Nc
Cumbcr ana in general the moderate
group Of Middle Western Republicans
has been justified. The Old Guard here
has again done its utmost to discrodit
and wcnkcu tho Republican party.
There is now no question what the sen
timent of the country is. 1t has been
unmistahably heard.
The Republican obstructionists here
by their mancuvcring hav" given the
President all the appearance of vic
tory. although he was forced TO amend
his covenant at Paris and will soon be
forced to accept reservations to it here.
The operations are ending in such
rout that the President, serene and
confident going to the country sure of
his reception. looks like a tremendous
victory.
