AMERICA MAKES
BIG DISKS NOW
Lens Manufacturers Solve Diff

Aid of Scientists.
CATCHING UP WITH GERMANY
All Mechanical Difficulties In Making
OF Large Teleseopic Disks Have
Been Overcome-Process
Is Delicate One.

New 1ork.-Large telescope disks
are being made in the United States.
All mechanical difficulties have been
overcome, according to an announce
ment made by DIR. George w. Morey,
member of the American Chemical
society.
This remarkable achievement is due
to preparation and handling of the in
gradients required for pure and flaw
less glass and is the result of expert
ments begun at the outbreak of the
world war, under the auspices of the
geophysical laboratory of the Carne-
gle Institution in Washington.
Catching Up With Germany.
Before 1914 practically all the op-
tical glass in the United States was
imported from Germany. When the
United States entered the war the
field glasses, range finders. telescopes
and other instruments of precision
used by her army and navy were
equipped with lenses fashioned be-
yond the Rhine. Private citizens even
loaned or contributed opera glasses
and binoculars to the fighting forces.
Optical glass of fine quality. howev-
er, is now to be had on this side of
the water. The climax of this achieve
ment Of industrial chemistry has been
reached by American makers in the
manufacture of lenses for telescopes.

view were made three or four inches

are no interwing struts to offer wind

five gallons of gasoline to fly 100
miles. Present aeronautical motors
require from ten to fifteen gallons for
that distance. The motor is almost
silent. compared to the deafening roar
of the Liberty. A conversation can be
carried on in the cabin with the motor

According to Mr.. Larsen. the JIG
represents the greatest step forward
In flying in all time. He has pur.

A PERSON unfamiliar with dream
n lore might wake up after dream
ing of n shroud with feeling that he
had seen an evil omen and be, con-
sequently, depressed in spirits. He
would be quite wrong. A shroud may
not be altogether pleasant thing to
see in ones dreams, but it is accounted
by nearly all the soothsayers to be a
favorable omen to dream of that grue-
some object. For one thing such a
dream signifies that you are to inherit
some money. 1t is true, though. say
the wise ones, that seeing shroud in
a dream is warning to the dreamer
to take better care of his health or he
will have fit of illness which will in
terfere with his business. But 1t is
merely tendency to illness which is
predicted and not illness itself. If
you are careful of your health your
business will prosper and your fortune
increase.
If you dream that you see a shroud
removed from dead person you might
wake up with alright at the CHASTITY
sight. But really there would be no
evil omen in the dream which would
call for any worrying. The worst that
it could mean. would be that you are

of glass, so that they might be free
from the strain SO likely to destroy
them. Experiments by scientists of
the geophysical laboratory showed ex-
actly how slowly their temperatures
must be lowered, and the cooling
schedule outlined was closely fol-
lowed. Owing. however, to the ex-
treme cold weather of last March and
the shortage of gas, this schedule could
not be followed. One splendid disk
strained and broke just when nearly
ready to be taken from the oven.
Equipment hitherto used was then
scrapped and an electric furnace was
specially designed to meet the needs of
the problem by experts of an electric
company. This device is thoroughly
insulated and provided with an auto
matte appliance which will hold the
temperature absolutely constant to
fraction of degree while this glass Is
being treated to remove strain. The
temperature can be dropped few de-
grees n week.
With the aid of this furnace now in
process of construction 1t is believed
that the last difficulty in the way OF
the American manufacture of the
largest disks will be overcome. Or
Gers have already been accepted for
the production of several large guar.
anteed disks. including one pair of the
1S-inch size for refracting telescopes,
and n 36inch disk for a rejecting tel
escOpe. The furnace will receive the
40-inch size. When that goal has been
reached, the company will continue
the development, SO that eventually
the largest and finest disks In the
world will be American made.

New York.-The presence in Amer

monoplane will completely revolution
lie aircraft design and construction,
according to statements made here by
leading airplane manufacturers.
The frail spruce and linen ship that
did Its bit in the war and that has
been used successfully, though pre-
cariOusly, in commerce will soon be
displaced by the sturdy all metal type
brought out after the war by the
Germans, almost every aeronautical
expert who has witnessed the per-
formance of the JL-6 agrees. One
American manufacturing company has
already announced Its intention of
dlscontinuing operations.
The War Plane Passes.
There is little comparison between
the JIG and the old type plane.
The only type of airplane that was
successful prior to the JL-6's appear
ance was the wood and linen biplane.
The wing beams, the long fuselage,
the engine bearers, the struts, the
spruce or ash and the wings were
covered with Irish linen. The fuse
lage between the wings gave support
to the panels. 1t was strong ship

Just Folks
WHEN NELLIE's ON THE JOB.
By EDGAR A. GUEST

The bright spots in my life are when
the servant quits the place,
Although that grim disturbance brings
frown on Nellie's face;
The week between the old girls reign
and entry of the new
Is one that's filled with happiness and
comfort through and through.
The charm Of living's back again-a
charm that servants rob
1 like the home, like the meals. when
Nellie's on the job.
There's something in a servants ways,
however fine they be,
That has cold and distant touch and
frets the soul of me.
The old home never looks SO well. as
in that week OF two
That we are servantless and Nell has
all the work to do.
There is a sense of comfort then that
makes my pulses throb
And home is as 1t ought to be when
Nellie's on the Job.
Think not that I'd deny her help or
grudge the servants pay.
When one departs we try to get an
other right away.
l merely state the simple fact that no
such Joys I've known
AS In those few brief days at home
when we've been left alone.
There is a gentleness that seems to
soothe this selfish elf
And oh, like to eat those meals that
Nellie gets herself!
i Ou cannot buy the gentle touch that
mother gives the place.
No servant girl can do the work with
Just the proper grace.
And though you hired the queen of
cooks to fashion your croQuettes
Her meals would not compare with
those your loving comrade gets,
So, though the maid has quit again
and she Is moved to sob,
'rhe old homes at its finest now, for
Nellie's on the job.

and in addition there are several hun
