THE GLASS AGE is

On more than 80. years eXpe-
riercc he stakes the assertion that
10 years will bring "undrcamed
of" advances in glass. BY far the
greatest DEVELOPMENT in the indus
tly's history-believed to stretch
back $500 yearS--has come in the
last FIVE years.
He explained that glass thread
is made by pouring melted glass
through tiny holes. some as small
as .OO0O5 inch in diameter. Little
streams Of glass stretch downward
and become 'threads" when they
are cooled bv thin oil spray. A
single filament may be thousands
of yards long.
Thread thus produced can be
processed on ordinary textile ma
chinery; woven into various grades
Of cloth: colored, and sewn on the
old family sewing machine.
Tough, pliablc and fireproot,
the cloth may be heavy enough
for a stage curtain or thin enough
for a lady's dress. The professor
said large curtains and other heavy
glass cloth products are in such
great demand that little more than
experimentation has been accom-
plished in the more-complicated
production of dress-type goods.

Yesterday Joseph Gedeon, es-

tails of his daughters past. She
had her first date at ii, he said,
and always was interested in par
ties. ....-.
Married at 1G to Robert Flower,
Veronica obtained an annulment
because she was under age. Ged-
con said his daughter went to a
school for beauty parlor operators
for a while and then drifted into
modelling. Her figure was her big
gest asset, photographers said.
She was a beautiful ash-blonde,
but for some technical reason her
face did not photograph well. Be-
cause of that she began posing in
the nude and semi-nude-some-
times to illustrate magazine
stories: other times in advertise
ments for such things as towels
and bathroom scales. .
The one fact that still puzzled
detectives was how the murderer
worked so quietly and why the
Gedeon's frisky Pekinesc dog
made no sound during the COM
mission of the crimes. That led to
two theories. neither of which had
much support in fact or evidence,
One was that the murderer was a
friend of the family, who was rec
ognized by the dog. The other was
that two men committed the crime
and that one, of them stood guard
over the dog. ...
