NEW GLASS, IN TEST,
RESISTS REVOLVER
Invention, Tried Out Here,
Will Make Banks Safe
Against Bandits.

A bullet proof glass, which may be
used as protection against gunner by
bank teilers, was successfully tested in
the basement Of the sixty-ninth Regi-
mont Armory yesterday afternoon.
The first shot from q Colt As auto
matio at piece OF four thickness one
quarter inch plate fell short Of the mark
by six inches. but nevertheless there fol-
lowed a shower of glass. The shattered
glass proceeded from an overhead cleo
trio light bulb which did not boast of
bullet proof properties and which was
In the path OF the bounding bullet. How
ever, when the narksman acquired his
shooting eye the new glass presented
conclusive evidence that II could weather
a fairly continuous barrage from a Colt
As or as at a distance of fifteen feet.
A piece of ordinary plate glass was fred
at and the result was q pile OF shat
tered fragments. but in no case was a
bullet found to penetrate the burglar
proof variety.
A question was raised by n sceptical
insurance man as to whether the glass
would Withstand as successfully close
hand. point blank shot; that in his ex-
perienoe he had observed II was not the
custom Of robbers to stand some fifteen
feet from teller window while practLs-
ing their profession. Considerable dis
cussion took place as to how this could
be tested without injuring the witnesses
with detected bullets. temporary
shield was devised at last and the glass
withstood two shots from the Colt AS
at a distance OF two inches.
This glass, which is modelled after a
variety which has had extensive use In
France and England on aviator wind
shields. port lights, tank periscopes, &c.

tically certain that unless some legisla-
tive action was taken Immediately sugar
prices would increase after January 1,
the Senate committee investigating the

ton, to formulate legislation designed
to alleviate the situation and TO make
possible negotiations for purchasing the
1920 Cuban sugar crop.
The committee made It's request after
Mr.. Zabrisiie had testified that despite
urging by the Sugar Equalization Board
purchase of the Cuban crop and after
he, at Chairman McNary's insistence.
had presented his correspondence with
the President. The Cuban Government
withdrew its offer of the sugar crop
September 90, Mr.. Zabriskie said He
added. however, that means might be
found yet to obtain the Cuban sugar IL
legislation could be had Immediately.
1t would be necessary also, he said, to
make provision for continuation of the
Sugar Equalization Board, which auto
matically goes out of existence Decem-
Der 81.
The present sugar shortage, the board
president said. was due to some extent
to the recent marine strike but more
largely to the unusual demand, the
American people having consumed
900 tons more sugar up to October l
than normally.

with resolution condemning the police
for leaving their posts and for their
effort to enforce by strike the rights
OF policemen to Join the American Fed

The resolution which was adopted
at meeting this afternoon follows:
Resolved. that the policemen of Bos-
ton were unjustihed in leaving their
posts that It Is vital for the preserva-
ton OF law that officers OF the law should
not be permitted, by organization OF
otherwise, TO become affiliated with any

which might conflict with such duty, and
that the committee fully supports the
acts of the authorities In preserving
law and order and toward defeating
finally and conclusively the effort to
enforce by strike the right of policemen
to join the American Federation Of
Labor"
The report, which was signed by the
executive committee, dealt chiefly with
events before the strike, as the COM
mittee practically ceased It's efforts when
the police went out on strike because
the preponderance of opinion against the
policemen joining the American Fedora
ton of Labor or exercising the right
