The convenient dressing table Is one

above a long flat surface and small

the delicate inlays and tapered legs
which marked his designs. The wood
is walnut with a peculiar waxed fin

Glass, nowadays, Is such q common
and indispensable building material
that the days when glass windows
were an unheard of luxury seem al.
most as far off as do the days of
Adam and Eve. Glass blowing is as
old as any other industry, and dates
back to the earliest periods of the
worlds history, but it is only in the
last few years that plate and window

Glass today is regarded rs quite

History Of Glass.
The layman has a difficult time in
deciding what type glass is required
for his particular building needs, be-
cause he is unusually ignorant con-
corning the essential facts of glass
manufacture. As far as most people
are concerned glass might be mined
from the earth for all they know or
care. But the history Of glass is
fascinating one to study, and it is in
teresting to know that natural sand
found on any beach forms the chief in
gredient of all kinds of glass.
Glass is a fused mixture Of silica,
obtained from natural sand, and two
or more alkaline bases such as soda,
lime, or potash. The principal meth
DDS Of manufacture are those employed
for window glass, bottle glass, and
plate glass. In any process. the first

Red Cross Needs Money.

Corpus Christi, Tex, March 49,
The Nueces county chapter of the
American Red Cross will be compelled
to suspend its activities unless adj
ditional financial help is obtained, ac-
cording to officers of the local unit.
The last Red Cross campaign fell far
short of the goal, it is said. At this
time there is no organized system et
charities in the county, all Of Nlis
work having been handled by the Red
Cross chapter. Miss Clara Mccormick
of San Antonio, a representative of
the Southwestern division Of the Red
Cross, has been here this week devel-
oping interest in the local work. A
mass meeting of citizens win be held
to consider the status of the local unit
and it is probable that campaign
for additional funds will be held.

as building material, the first step
is blowing the material into cylindri-
cal form. The material may be blown

Glass for various building purposes

Notwithstanding the tremendous in
vestment required for machinery and
materials used in manufacture, the
cost has been scientifically reduced so
that plate glass, which is far superior
in durability and qualities required
for clear vision is no longer considered
a luxury. Plate glass is every day
increasing In popularity for general
glazing of high class buildings, store
fronts, showcases, and as a protective
covering for desk, and table tops. Some
of the most popular types of glass
made for buildings are frosted glass,
which is used in doors and windows
where privacy and non-transparent
features are desired, wired glass which
is much in demand for sky-lights.
elevator shafts, stair-wells, and other
fixtures where great strength is re-

piece of glass imbedded in reinforced
concrete, which is used for the lighting
of dark cellars. easements and vaults.

Contrary to general belief, the

els supposed to be slow in adopting
new ideas and the foreigner quick,
but IL the truth were known the sit
nation is quite the reverse.
ut is true that the French and
italian motorists have used four
wheel brakes, straight-eight motors
and other modern developments prior
20 their use in America, but that is
due to the great difference in pro-
duction and not to any greater de-
sire on the part of the European to
see his motor car developed
The entire automobile industry
OF france does not turn out as many
automobiles as any one of several
or our leading manufacturers, ex-
Guiding Ford. This means that a new
feature can be conveniently added to
the average European car without
any great harm IL it does not turn

proves satisfactory.
Where a manufacturer turns out
one hundred to two hundred thou
sand motor cars a year he cannot
afford to experiment upon the public
that has placed its confidence in the
value Of his product. He must pro-
coed cautiously, yet he must work
like Trojan If he expects to change
his assembly line SO as to add q new,
desirable feature before a competitor
beats him to it.
The growing adoption of the four
wheel brake principle in America is
remarkably rapid, all things consid-
cred. When Duesenberg adopted this
principle three years ago it was rec
ognized by engineers to be an i'm
portant and desirable step, but de-
spite the difficulty of adding new fea-

IF the American people were not
naturally progressive and willing at
all times to try new things, such
rapid general adoption of hydraulic
four-wheel brakes would not have
been possible. The American people
do not have to buy certain features
with their cars unless they definitely
want them"
