Here's how it's done. This business of closing up

However, the ol- ficials go through with it as per the constitution Both Senate and House gather in the House chamber there being more room, and committee rom Doth eral Assembly ready to receive any message he may have prior to adjournment.

idea for the experiment, their suc- cess will have far-reaching conse- QuenceS.
 It means for instance, that high grade dinnerware will become avail able in this country at allow price possibly low enough so it can be sold in the lowest-priced stores.
 It means a new, major industry in the United States. Now you have only to look at the back of your plates, cups and saucers to see that they come from Japan, England, France, Poland and Czecho-Slo- vakia. Hereafter, in times of war, we no longer will have to depend on other countries for the kaolin vitally essential to make spark plugs and electric insulation needed in military transport.
 The fact that North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama have rich de- posits of kaolin is not news. Up to now small quantities of it have been used in mixture with imported kaolin. The real news is that porce- lain can be made from the native clay. Also that, in such a refined state, it can take the place of inn ported kaolin.
 MT. Henry and IVA administra- tors picked one Robert E. Gould, an American ceramics engineer, to head the experimental laboratories. MT. Gould, then chief engineer of g ceramics plant in Poland, picked his staff and set to work. After months of experimenting with a washing and settling process that had not been used before, they found ways and means to remove all impurities from the native kaolin.
 Electric Oven Invented
 Next was tackled job No. ?, firing by electricity. Up to now electricity had been used in a small way in firing decorations on porcelain ware, but this called for a temperature Of only around 900 degrees fahrenheit, whereas the IVA researchers re- quired a temperature of 2500 or more degrees for fusing the kaolin, fespar and quartz into porcelain.
 The use of heat units made of metal was out of the picture. Metal would not stand up under such heat. Experiments were made with other materials. Finally carborun- dunn bars were decided on. They worked.
 See Waste Reduced
 MT. Gould and his electrical eX- perts want to find a material that will last even longer than carborun- dunn. They think that they have found it. It is graphite in a vac

It will be the only one in the coun- try and high degree of efficiency is expected of 1t.
 Up to now ceramic plants have fired with oil, gas or coke. Elec- tricity is believed to have several big advantages, provided it can be bought cheaply. MT. Henry said electric firing will greatly reduce the waste because the heat can be con- trolled and is more uniform. Uni- form heating is important because if, for instance, more heat hits one side of cup than the other, it will warp or break it.
