Glass Made is Almost Like Steel.

The Century Dictionary, in its defini-
ton OF glass, enumera'es its valuable
characteristics-its cheapness, dur
ability, transparency and lustre-and
then continues, Almost. the only draw
back to these gold qualities of glass
is its brittleness.' But this objection
has now been overcome and an un-
breakable glass has been produced"
writes James Anderson in the No
vember ST. Nicholas.
"The safety glass, as it is called,
looks exactly like, and possesses all
the qualities of, the old-fashionej
glass, only it is not brittle. Quite the
contrary, it has more the qualities OF
a plate of steel than a pane of glass.
1t is OF two kinds, the 'bullet-proof'
and the 'unbreakable.' So serious did
the menace Of flying glass in cornec-
ton with automobile smash-ups be-
come that several years ago two New
York Policemen, Commissioner Joseph
A. Faurot and Officer Clinton l.. Wolfe
eat their wits 10 work to perfect a
glass that would reduce the chances OF
injury from this source.
After many experiments they final
~ brought out glass that stood the
test Of being fred at with an army re-
volver. The glass was cracked, but
It was not penetrated, and it did not
shatter and fly.
Thirty New York banks have adopt
ed the safety glass, while throughout
the country it is being used to an
even wider extent.
This glass was invented lust in
time to do its bit in the war. To.
ward the end of the conflict il was
so far perfected that it was adopted
by the United States Government for
gasmask lenses, and 100000 pieces
were supplied TO the Chemical Warfare
Service, Gas Defense Section. This
glass was OF the bullet proof variety

Disagree Over Famous Vine.

On Roanoke island. of the North
Carolina coast, stands an ancient
Scuppernong vine. 1t is near the
grave of Virginia Dare and the site Of
the Lost Colony" Nobody knows the
age of that vine, but many nearby
vines. which seem more youthful Ivy
comparisonr actually are known to Be
more than one hundred years old.
A regional contribution to Ameri.
can mythology credits Sir Walter
Raleigh with having planted the vine
where Ii now stands, and further
claims are that it is the original Soup
pernonS. Unimaginative Investigators,
however, say that the original Soup
pernong grew wild In Tyrrell county,
North Carolina, along the Scupper-
nong river. well before 1850, and that
from this county the species found Its
way to Roanoke island.

Shoe-ThroWina Old Custom.

Throwing old shoes was not always
confined to weddings. though the Gus
tom nowadays has come to be asso-
Gated entirely with the going away Of
bridal couples. Authorities differ as
to the origin of the practice and Its
exact significance 1t seems, however,
as If 1t had to do with the transfer
of property-women being regarded
As such among the nations in which
the custom began.

The Kiss in Ancient Folklore.

A story of Alexander the Great and
a kiss forms one Of the most thrilliug
bits Of history. An enemy of the kings
invented a novel plot to cause Alexan-
ders death. He discovered a beautiful
young girl, who. like Rappacinl's
daughter In HawthOrne's story, hid
been brought up on deadly poison, ard
every one who came near her was
killed Oy her deadly atmosphere. She
was sent to the kings palace with IN
structions to do what would be called
"yamping" today. Alexander saw and
admired her extravagantly, but the
shrewd Aristotle suspected treachery.
Before he allowed the girl TO approach
the throne he sent for q criminal who
had been sentenced to death, and in
structed him to kiss the girl In the
presence of the king. He fell dead
on the ground, like one struck by light
ming.
The same story appears in folklore
Of India, and the early Christian
monks made great use of Ii In their
sermons, personifying the Christian
as Alexander, conscience IS Aristotle.

Prohibition. Present and to Come.

The constant reports Of bootleg

prohibition has failed. Those who fav-

discouraged. Those who oppose il are
G al OF ever successful violation and
regard it as evidence that the Law
has failed.
Presen: conditions may easily mis-.
lead the thoughtless and the super
fetal. When the laws went into ef-
feet there were immense stocks of
liquor, beer and wine on hand. Those
who had any made haste TO hide IT,
and when they sold any demanded sew

not easy TO transfer il from the owner

law match their wits against the
shrewdness of the officers and often
win.
Another difficulty is that Illicit dis
filling and home-brewing cannot be
holly prevented, for the processes are
simple and require little equipment
but they cannot be undertaken on a
large scale without being discovered,
and il they could not be discovered the
products could not be sod openly, or
even secretly, except to very limited
extent.
Taking broad view of the situation
then, We may admit that prohibition
cannot be completely enforced; but no
more can the laws against theft or muir.

always be counterfei'ing; and wine
