1--WE thousand years is long time for
growing up: even the California red
woods cut their wisdom teethinless time
y than that But more than five millennia
measure the slow maturing of glass as an in
finitely adaptable material. from the glass
beads found in early Egyptian tombs to the
glass houses of today.
And when we say glass houses we mean
just that: no proverbial figure of speech about
it. Perhaps the long history of glass is partly
responsible for its enormous repertoire today
"a few thousand years seem none too many
to teach it all its tricks. Today we not only
can have glass houses. we can fill those houses
with shimmering glass furniture: we not only
eat our meals from glass but cook them in
glass; we not only build our walls with glass
bricks but we can curtain our glass windows
with textiles woven of glass; our ladies' not
only wear glass bracelets, but they can wear
glass dresses.
Yes, we've added several new acts to the
old repertoire. A lady writer of best sellers

in ancient Egypt may have had just as good
glass jewelry as Miss Fannie Hurst s. but she
couldn' have had Miss Hurst glass hat and
she couldn't have gone to ball in a glass
gown with no fear of the police, as certain
lovely ladies went to the last Beaux Arts Ball
1t is only in recent years that the research
chemists have succeeded in producing tiny
glass fbers one and one half ten-thou-
sandths of an inch in diameter - which can
be spun into yarn, which in turn can be woven
into cloth of great fineness and beauty. i'm
perishable color and almost endless durability.
Besides this textile is absolutely fire proof -
it might melt. but it will not burn - and this
opens up attractive possibilities in such fields
as stage settings and drop curtains, apartment
house awnings and coverlets for people who
smoke in bed.
We've even developed a glass through
which you can see some things but not Others:
polarized glass transmits light rays that
vibrate in one direction but not those that vi
brate at right angles; thus making it possible
to light road at night with your own auto
mobile lights while you dim the lights of on
coming cars This might even be developed to
the point where school rooms which are
being walled more completely with glass for
sake of the students eyes - are brilliantly
lighted while the pupils aren't distracted by
what's going on outside.
Our glass house can have one advantage the
goldfish never enjoyed - privacy. A wall of
glass bricks transmits high percentage of
light and gives it striking silvery quality.
but foils the neighbors as effectually as wall
of ordinary brick. Quick to see the oppor-
tunities in this translucent material, modern
designers haven't stopped at exterior walls,
or interior walls where light transmission from
one room to another is desired.
Bath rooms are being built with softly
illuminated walls, mirrored ceilings and crys-
tai fittings. You can 60 up stairways of light.
You can have - if you can pay for them -
illuminated glass fountains and swimming
pools, balustrades and door frames.
In doing the rooms of our glass house we'll
use plate glass, mirrors. and that beautiful
Opaque colored glass known as Carrara to
create a setting that satisfies our modern
taste for simplicity of areas with richness of

textures, spaciousness, variety with repose.
With plate glass we'll marry the indoors and
the outdoors. where view is particularly fine
or where our garden blooms.
The first windows were chinks in walls, and
windows remained essentially that until it
dawned on our outdoor loving age that the
whole wall might be window OF course it
is only this age that has produced plate glass
in sizes big enough to fill wall. In Pittsburgh
I've seen wide ribbon of glass rapidly flowing
out of furnace between rollers - endlessly
flowing, day in. day out, year in. year out.
1t haunts me at night sometimes - the
knowledge that no matter when think of it,
that ribbon is steadily flowing in Pittsburgh.
Yet it takes this machine and several like it to
supply the need of this country for plate glass.
When we all build our dwellings, with plate
glass walls, a lot more ribbons will have to be
started on their careers.
When Mansard designed the palace of Yer
sailles he knew the decorative value of large
areas of mirrors. and so provided a splendid
setting for the signing of modern peace trea-
ties. Only Sun King could afford to use
mirrors so lavishly then, and even his big
mirrors were made up of many little ones.
Today we can have mirrors almost as big as
we can get in our rooms, and we can have
them of water white, gold. flesh tint. rose,
blue or any one of score of other shades.
Thus we can multiply the apparent size of our
rooms at will, and give them life and color.
while we indulge our propensity for stealthily
watching our own reflections.
Bath rooms and kitchens - as well as shop
fronts - are being walled with lovely Carrara
glass, but one of the most charming living
rooms ever built will be done by brave de-
signer who will make its walls of gray Carrara
and flesh-tinted mirrors, and fill it with mir
rored furniture. So far this brilliant mrrored
furniture has been in the expensive
custom made class. but there is no reason
why it should not be produced in quantity ate
medium price. and it probably will be.
Our mrrored-top dining table will be set
with crystal as elegant as our purse can buy

CROP OUTLOOK
MUCH BRIGHTER


Crop outlook for 81 has brighter
spots than the last few years have
held, said r. j. Borgmann this
week, as several days Of sunshine
poured growing strength on to rain
drenched fields and small grains
poked green heads through the
damp earth.
Much OF the small grain is al
ready shooting, the Herald learn
ed, and Mr. Borgmann stated that
Tuesday simply popped" seeding
out Of the ground. In fact even
much of the late seeding Is already
protruding. Fear Of rot by some
late seeders who professed "sour
grapes" was dispelled as grains get
deeply rooted and break out Of the
earth.
One desperate problem that has
assailed farmers during the past
several years-a shortage of feed
and hay-appears to be heading to
downfall. Indications point to the
fact that the hay crop Is nearly

he was interested in other COM
mercial ventures and also became
interested in farming. He operated
several farms successfully in this
community for a time.
AS country doctor he made long
trips throughout the community,
while travelling to and from his
patients, and during that time he
wrote much of his poetry. His sue
cessful practice brought him a wide
acquaintance and he numbered his
friends among the men, women and
children Of the city and the entire
countryside. Many OF the older
residents recall his work of earlier
days, and they had faith in his
ability and knowledge Of medical
science. Through these contacts he
became acquainted with the joys
and sorrows Of most Of the people,
and the ties Of the community life
became solidly imbedded with his
life. He belonged to the commun-
ity which he loved and extolled.

partment since 1922. Most Of 1t is
needed for the purpose of making
the tie UP Of dead end" water
mains as was recommended by the
insurance man who recently made
recommendations for fire protec-
ton in the City. Closing all dead
ends" will require s blocks Of new
water main at cost of roughly
$1,000 per block. The Commission
contemplated doing this work be-
fore it was suggested by the insur-
ance inspectors and had already
applied for a WPA project for this
purpose.
The Light plant has, as already
stated, purchased $4,000 of the wa
ter bonds and has also carried a
considerable part of the operating
expense of the plant. Only $1,000 in
labor has been charged to the wat
er department and, prior to this
year, no office or administration
expense.
Aside from repairs to meters, wa
ter mains, cutting off and turning
on water, flushing MIGRANTS, and
mains, inspecting new work, etc., 1t
is necessary that a man be in close
proximity to the water plant at all
times. A surge in the electric cur
rent, stops the water pumps and 1t
is necessary to see that the stor-
age tanks are kept filled. Jim Ro-
gers works all night and is paid
entirely from light funds although
he is kept on duty for the purpose
of seeing that the tanks are filled
and that the pumps operate proper
ly, as we'll as that the light cur
rent is not cut off.
The light department is turning
over SIS, 900 per year to the City
Council to reduce taxes; it is nee.
essary to build up it's public utility
fund so the amount which it can
give to the water department, al
the present time, is limited.
1t will be seen from the foregoing
figures that any reduction in the
water rate must be carefully plan.
ned as the revenues can not be
very materially reduced and still
keep the department paying the
cost of its operation.
The electric current for pumping
1000 gallons of water costs the
City 40 cents. Adding bond interest
and payments and other expenses
such cost is 1877 cents.

Not Sympathetic
To Tax Dodgers,
Morgan Declares

NEW YORK, June 10. (UP)-
J. P. Morgan, head of the interna-
tional banking house. said in a
formal statement last night that
he chad no sympathy with tax
lodging or tax evasion
His statement was issued after
considerable discussion in con-
grcss of an interview he gave
earlier in the week when he re-
turned from England.
Morgan's interview, given on
shipboard, said the matter of
taxes was "a legal not a moral
problem, and that a citizen had
di, 'harged his obligation when he
paid the taxes that congress re-
quired in it's revenue laws. He
added that if there were legal
loopholes in the tax laws, that
was a problem for congress.
Late yesterday an official of
the Houes of Morgan called the
United Press and two other news
services on a conference switch
board and dictated this state
ment:
"The following statement is
transmitted from Mr.. Morgan
who is at his home resting on
Long Island. For release in the
morning newspapers of Thursday,
June 10.
Statement by Mr.. J. P. Nor
gam. g.,

Tending such practices.
