on the top OF the nat desk, at
the side where Iswas sitting. was a
strip OF glass. as zone often sees 1t
on desks and tables Picking up
/ a paper cutter, Mr.. Owens struck
this glass hard bloI: with the
heavy metal handle. Instead OF
the glass breaking into pieces, as
anyone would have expected,
nothing happened except that a lot
OF fine lines appeared. radiating

from the point he had struck. He
hit It half a dozen times with the

glass had been broken of. The
strip was still solid
Suppose you we're in closed
automobile during an accident"
said Mr. Owens. Or suppose you
were sitting in the front seat OF
any motor car with the glass wind
shield IN front of you. Scores of
persons have beer terribly cut by
broken glass under such circum-
stances Il is not an uncom non
thing for a, person to be thrown
against one of the windows with
force enough to break it, and to
receive dangerous cuts around the
face and head. Sometimes a
persons hand and arm go through
a. window and are badly cut. But
this glass does not shatter in
pieces. II you strike it hard
enough it shows these minute
cracks; but that's all. Yet lanain-
ated glass could not be made of
sheet glass manufactured by the
old methods. Sheet glass used to
be made in cylindrical form; one
side OF the cylinder then cut
and the glass rolled fat. But it
was neye rabsolutely fiat. In
heap window glass you can detect
quite a curve.
Sat our West Virginia plant,
one Of the largest in the world,
we make this sheet glass in a con-
tinuous strip, like a huge ribbon,
or like long strip OF paper. And
this glass is perfectly fat. There
fore it can be putsstogetheri in this
laminated form, because the sur
faces are absolutely even and

NO DECISION ON ALLEY GRADE.
City Officials to Make an Inspection
Trip Wednesday.

The tale of the half block of alley
between Kansas avenue and Quincy
street from Eleventh street ato the
cross alley between Tenth avenue and
Eleventh street, is again to be CON
tinued in our next"
The fixing of a grade for the alley
has involved the city in two or three
lawsuits and has afforded an elegant

bers of the city commission, the city
attorney. and a city hall reporter miss
the K. L. parade this morning when
it came up
The difficulty remained unsolved.
1t is apparent to the commissioners
that no matter what grade they select
and start to work on, the disgruntled
property owners somewhere along the
line will crack down on them with a
lawsuit
Taking that for granted. the mem
bers of the commission themselves are
unable to agree on what is really the
best grade for the paving of the alley.
So, in company with the city at
torney and the city engineer, the COM
mission, as a committee of the whole
will again inspect the turbulent
byway at 9 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing in time to be back before the cir

jungle of difficulties. the commission

HE'S FRIENDLY TO "HANDS"
Larned Pastor Started Making Town
Recommendations Aided Him.

Larned. Kan, May 16.-The gospel
of friendliness to harvesters is
preached by the Rev. p. L. Mawdsley
of Larned. His text is: Treat the
harvest hand like man rather than
a hobo"
AS state organizer-direct for the
Harvest Welfare Service, the Rever-
end Mr.. Mawdsley is sounding the call
for the 1922 season. He is working
under the auspices of the Kansas
State Agricultural college and of the
board of home missions of the MethO-
dist Episcopal church, Philadelphia.
About $4,000 harvesters are expect
ed from other states to help harvest
this years Kansas wheat crop, now
forecast at more than loo, 100000
bushels. The problem of harvest help
has always been acute in this state,
because a large force of workers must
be brought in at just the right time
each year for a limited season. Often
the hands arrive too early and are
without funds or employment.
This is where the harvest welfare
service comes in. The plan is to pro-
vide a community house where the
harvester may spend their spare time.
Writing tables and stationery are pro-
vided and the men are advised to
write home to mother. Games and
music help while away the time.
Mr.. Mawdsley believes two-thirds
of the men who drift to the wheat
fields each year are good, honest men.
althO there are also some Crooks and
ne er-do-Wells. The welfare service IS
designed as an insurance against agi-
tation, discomfort and crime.
The idea was first put INTO prac-
tice at Larned in 1920 In co-opera-
ton with r. p. Schnacke. county
agent. the Reverend Mr.. Mawdsley
fitted up a room in the basement of
the court house. Merchants AMI
other townspeople assisted by lending
piano, organ and talking machine
and by furnishing games ana maya
zines.

STEEL PLAN over.
Bethlehem and Lackawanna
Combine Is Completed Today.
Government Intervention Does
Not Seem to Worry Directors.

New York, May 16.-The Bethle-
hem-Lackawanna steel merger was
ratified today by directors of both
companies.
Government intervention into the
proposed merger has caused no out
ward change in the plans of the in
terests involved.
Directors of the Bethlehem Steel
corporation and the Laekawanna Steel
company were called into separate
session TO, confirm the purchase of
Lackawanna by Bethlehem, which
will be arranged by a stock transac-
ton, details of which were to be ar
ranged probably late today.
Except for a brief statement by
President Eugene G. Grace of Beth
lehem, when the merger was an
nounced that it involved no violation
of the Sherman or Clayton acts, in
terested persons have made no COM
ment on the action of the federal
trade commission in requesting in
formation concerning the same before
the deal was completed.
Presidents and chairmen of the six
Independent companies conferred to-
day with representatives of Kuhn
Loeb & Company, bankers, to work
out a plan of financing the combina-
ton.
The companies involved are:
The Brier Hill Steel Company, In
land Steel company; Steel and Tube
company of America, Youngstown
Sheet and Tube company, Republic
Iron and Steel company. and the
Midvale Steel and Ordnance company.

SEE

It's been many a day since I've seen
anything so absolutely different as is
this Connecticut Yankee in King
Arthur's Court" Since 1 read the
book by Mark Twain a dozen years
ago I've not had so much fun, as /
had last night when 1 saw the picture.
AS a. story it has all the elements of
romance, humor and satire one could
ask for. As a production it is the
last word The director who put it in
screen form is crowding one fellow by
the name of Griffith.
Have always kicked about there
being too many sub-titles in the pic
lures but here is one where the sub
titles make laughs. The fellow who
wrote them is a George Ade-and a
Mark Twain rolled into one. The only
kick I have about the sub-titles in
this picture on the screen at the
Grand, is that there are too few of
them.

RADIO CONCERTS NOW ARE @OLD STUFF"
TO ONE OF CHICAGO1S YOUNG WIZARDS

Before the present radio "craze"
swept the country. John Pringle,
fourteen. Chicago school boy, was
doing a rushing business giving his
friends wireless concerts. Pringle
charged admission fees of five and
ten cents and didn't worry about
war taxes. Uncle Sam did that.
Pringle has one of the best
equipped radio, plants in the coun-
try. And what is mora he con-
structed it himself. The lad is :.
radio wizard" In addition to
building a tower in his back yard
from which to suspend Lis aerial,
Pringle went so far as to construct
the batteries which he uses in his
set.
The spread of the radio "craze"
has reduced 1ringle's income to
some extent. but nevertheless he
continues to experiment and i'm
prove his apparatus now consider
ed one of the best sets in Chicago.

BEREA Y. NJ. c. A.

The third Sunday evening meeting
of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation for this school year was held
in Upper Chapel last Sunday from
6:15 to 7:l5. The room was practi-
cally full and those who were there
not only received worth while infor-
nation, but inspiration as well. The
leader was Professor Baird, of the
Vocational School. His talk was
practical and to the point. This was
manifested when he gave the last ten
or fifteen minutes over TO the audi
ence for a verbal reaction. A num-
Der responded promptly with n few
words which were worth while. The
good one can receive from such n
meeting. especially if he attends reg
ularly, can scarcely be estimated.
The topic discussed by the leader
was taken from the Acts Of the Apos-
ties, namely. THE Lame Man Made
Whole" This man. we are told, was
so happy after it happened that he
leaped for joy. But what about the
people of the present day-are they
lame? Yes, goodly number are,
that is, they have their short COM
ings. Probably a few Of them arc
in not being truthful or honest to
man or God, or perhaps in not using
clean speech. All three of these arc
very important and each individual
should attain them. He will IL he is
true to himself and his school.
The Rev. Mr.. Baxter, who was In
Berea over Sunday, gave us a short
but interesting talk. He emphasiz
ed the danger Of getting lost at the
beginning of a school course. II Is
done by forgetting and not doing the
things which we know We should do
Another thought he left with us was
that our friends away from Berea
