CLASS CLOTHES NExT2

Among the new things under the sun
lately coming to public attention is fiber
glas," which as its name implies is fiber
made from glass, and it is now beginning
to be used in the manufacture of cloth on
a commercial scale.
Some five years ago, research expert
mentors working with blow torches and
powdered glass almost accidentally pro-
duced some small strands which were
found to have great strength. Continuing
their Investigations and experiments. a pro-
cess of weaving these strands or threads
into various fabnics was developed.
To produce fiberglas. the molten glass
is drawn from furnace through many tiny
openings, in strands as small as ene-ten
thOusandths of an inch in diameter, and
twisted into threads. which in turn are
woven on textile looms into shiny. plfable
fabric. This fabric has great strength and
has the added advantage of being fireproof
A new factory in Ohio recently began
the manufacture of fiberglas cloth, gloves.
and neckties. 1t is believed that before long
we may have fiberglas tablecloths. draper
les, wallpaper, rugs. and even clothing.
OF all the many new uses for glass
products which have been developed in re-
cert years this appears to be one Of the
most remarkable.

GUARD THE cHILD's EYES

Many persons become blind, or go
through life with impaired vision because
of neglect to the most ordinary precautions,
according to leading oculist, who gives
some good advice in recent article.
He declares that the putting of drop
or two of silver solution into the eyes of
an infant at birth is most important mat
tiers, as five or six different kinds of germs
may cause partial or complete blindness
are liable to gain access to the infants
eyes at that time.
1t is also important to keep sharp or
pointed instruments, such as scissors, pen
ellis and dangerously sharped toys, away
from very young children, and any foreign
body which happens to get into the eyes
should be given immediate attention. No
inflammation of the eyes, however slight,
should ever be neglected.
With respect to cross-eyes, Dr. Steel
smith advises that steps be taken to correct
this condition very early, and he declares
that child no more than year old may
be taught to wear glasses for straighten-
ing the squirt, which will in most cases ef-
feet a permanent correction He warns
against the use of ten-cent store glasses or
any glasses not prescribed after expert ex-
animation of the eyes.
Reading in poor light or in a bad
position, strains the eyes. unduly, while
glare is also harmful and should be avoid

Considering what handicap poor
eyesight places on the individual, it is
really strange that the simple precautions
recommended by health authorities are so
frequently neglected

'Awee1. Sandiei It now appears that
millions Of those precious ultimate
consumers have not had their incomes
increased and, consequently, cannot

Wherefore, more or less gently and
firmly, they pass the buck back to the
retailer, the wholesaler, the manafac-
tlrer, the wage-earner, the farmer,
with more or less annoyance and re-
sistance all along the line.
Finally, to cap the climax or anti
climax, we are told that the golden
flow Of borrowed money is to be re-
duced, that budgets must be balanced,
debts liquidated. taxes increased. and
that business must presently stand on
its own feet and &C forward by itsown
steam. Is it any wonder, then, that the
stock market has had an attack of the
filters? And does it not look as though
the self-same market were a sort of

Although there are signs that the

modify Service. The movement was
again general in character, as out of
IA individual groups declined. re-
main unchanged, while advanced.
Industrial prices sagged in a mod
crate manner, which was in align
ment with further moderate con-
traction in industrial activity and signs
of keener competition. 1t is of in
terest to note, however. that despite
the declining trend since last April
the price level for the industrial group
remains higher than at the first of
the year.
Agricultural prices during the week
showed definite resistance to down.
ward trend, in fact, recovered. A
check-up reveals price strength in
wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, eggs. po-
tatoes and rice. Only two important
items declined, namely, cotton and
naxseed.
