Machine.Made Glass.

EOR a long time it was thought i'm
Il possible that window glass could
be made by a mechanical process. but
the ingenuity of American manufac-
tlIrers overcame all obstacles, and this
kind of glass Is now made. in all sizes
and tl1icknesses, by an improved process.
Such glass cannot be manufactured
by pressure, because the surfaces thus
produced are irnperfectly transparent.
The method of allowing the molten
glass to fall through a narrow slit was
also tried without success. for the sur
faces became striated. The process OF
drawing. by lifting the molten glass tn
sheets. was finally adopted. But this
required many ingenious devices to pre-
vent the glass from contracting ms
columnar or cylindrical forms. All
these difficulties have now been over
come. 50 that it is no longer necessar
to produce transparent sheets of gl9~
solely by the old blowing methods.

THAT the Orient is stili the land o.
the romantic is shown by a story
that comes straight from everyday
modern life In India, but which might
have been invented by Scheherezade
herself for the entertainment Of the
Sultan. 1t is an account of how the
Gaekwar of Baroda won his throne.
It appears that about quarter Of
century ago, after the Maharajah
Maihar Rao was deposed, the council
sought a worthier member of the fam
lily as his successor Four sons Of the
house lived In the city. but the council
felt that they were all too old and in
competent to become efficient rulers.
In a distant village, in a mud hut,
the council found poverty-stricken
family of the royal race. In this fam
iIy we're three sons, each OF whom was
young enough to be nodded into q
capable ruler. After some deliberation
the council decided that one Of these
boys should have the throne, but left
the selection to the dowager maharanee.
Accordingly, the three brothers.
Gopal, Dada and Sampat, were sum
moned to the city Of Baroda. Shortly
after their arrival they were admitted
to the presence Of the maharanee. Her
Elighness asked each in turn why he
had come to Baroda.
The youngest was so awed by the
magnificence of the court that after
smiling foolishly for moment he
burst into a storm of tears. The next
In age, who was more stolid, did not
behave so Historically. He answered
the query as any well behaved Hindu
lad of his age would have done. He
had come to Baroda. he said. because
his relatives hal brought him there.
But when Gopal. the third boy. was
asked the same question, he airily re-
sponded:
IT have come to be the Maharajah
Of Baroda."
The maharanee and her councillors
with one accord decided that the youth
who gave this bold reply showed the

DENIAL OF BALLOT

E. F. CCIIaday Hopeful Sit
uation viii Be Corrected
by 1882 Election.

The humiliation felt by the people
! of Washington today at being denied
! the right to vote in the national cleo
ton was called to the attention of the
/ League of Republican Women by Ed
ward F. Colladay, Republican national
committeeman for the District, when
members Of the league we're entertained
at the Washington Club, Seventeenth
ana K streets, yesterday by Mrs. E. A.
Hartman league president.
Expressing confidence that Herbert
Hoover will be elected, Mr. Colladay
voiced a hope that as President Mr..
Hoover would take sympathetic view
toward the voteless National Capital.
Hoover Knows City's Needs.
''Mr Hoover's election is not only i'm
portant to the country at large, but al
most UNNECESSARILY important to US of
the District Of Columbia, Mr.. Collaoay
declared He has lived among us for
more than 10 years and is our friend
and neighbor. He knows cur problems,
our aspirations and our needs. He mas
favored and supported the project IN
which our greatest Secretary Of the
Treasury, Andrew Mellon, is SO deeply
nterested-planning and erection OF
the great public buildings in the trl-
angle between the Mall and Pennsyl-
vania avenue, the greatest building OF
the group being the one to house the
department which MIR. Hoover built to
it's present proportions.
Our people will make what should
not fail to be most impressive DEM
onstration of their feelings of hunilia-
ticn when they stand here at the heart
of the Nation, one-half million citizens
of the United States intensely interested
in the election and restrained from
casting their votes.
Hopes for Amendment.
LET us hope that Mr.. Hoover, our
next President will sympathize with us
in this deplorable condition and that
his influence may be cast in the balance
to turn it in our favor to bring about
the enactment of the twentieth amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States to give us the right to vote for
presidential electors and for Senator's
and Representatives in Congress.
Then, indeed, will the League of
Republican Women of the District of
Columbia have full and unrestricted
opportunity in the national election of
1882 to surpass the hitherto uneQualed
record which they have made in 1928"
In radio talk over Station WRHF
last night, Frank j. Coleman, one Of
the District Hoover minute men, as
serted that advantages would come to
labor from the election of Hoover. Mr..
Coleman, who is secretary of the Mary
land State and Di5trict of Columbia
Federation of Labor, declared Mr..
Hoover is for high wages, short hours
and every protection that can be built
around the American standard of liv-
ing.

Sing Sing.

Sing Sing is a famous New York
State prison located at Ossining, town
on the Hudson River about 80 miles
north Of New York City, says the Kan
saS City Times The town itself was
originally also called Sing Sing, sup
posedly from the Sing Sing or Sint-
sink tribe of Indians, who once lived in
that vicinity. In 1901 the name of the
town was officially changed to Ossin-
ing, the old name having become OBJ
lectionable to the inhabitants because
Of its popular association with the peni-
tentiary "Ossining" is merely a diff
ferent form of Sing Sing" both words
being corruptions of the Delaware In
dian word "assinesink," literally mean
ing 'at the small stone" There IS
nothing to the popular story that Sing
Sing was named after a friendly In
dian whom the whites called John
Sing Sing.
