London Housewives Used
To Bake in Public Ovens
TOndOn ChrOnicle)

What memories the suggestion Of
communal kitchens revives. For we
had to some extent its prototype in
London in the bakers oven, where all
and sundry could have their dinners
cooked at charge of 2 pence a dish.
The practice, which obtained to a
very large extent forty or fifty years
ago, was made necessary owing to the
fact that few working class houses
boosted of an oven or kitchen range.

Necktie Made of Glass
Is New Dress Prospect

In these days Of substitutes one
must be prepared for surprises. al
though it would be difficult not to be-
tray at least a passing interest in so
novel a departure as a necktie made
of glass.
Such a tie was recently shown to
the writer by member Of a firm of
glass makers.
Everyone has seen the curious null
ti-colored centers which the glass
marbles used by schoolboys often con-
tain. These centers are composed of
very fine glass threads, and it is the
latter that are employed in the manu-
facture of glass neckties.
These ties, in fact, are nothing more
than lengths of glass thread woven to-
gether; and as such they can be
twisted and knotted and generally
ill-treated. like the ordinary every
day necktie.
1t was recently announced that col
lars of paper would shortly be on the
market. They are said to be much
cooler and lighter than the perspira-
tion-provoking linen or soft" collar.
Paper can be put to various uses in
the matter of providing substitutes
for clothing. We are threatened with
paper shirts; and determined effort
is being made to produce from the
same source a suitable substitute for
cloth. One wonders what would be
the effect of heavy shower on these
garments.
Underclothing made from surplus
supplies of the fabric used in covering
the planes of flying machines has al
ready been put on the market; and the
experiment looks like aiming a serious
blow at the laundries, since it is
stated that the materials, being less
porous than that usualaly worn, re
