A Perfect Sandwich In
Glass

When Edouard Benedictus. tht
French chemist. was sputtering 'mor
dieu" back in 1903. because of an ac
cident in his laboratory that smash
ed up some glass he had no idea thai
his misfortune would play an i'm.
portant part in today's development
of high test safety plate glass thai
is used in the 1910 cars having Fish
er bodies
During the &c years that have pass
ed since the above instance it is con-
| Servatively estimated that s million
dollars have been invested in chemi-
cal and scientific research in bring
ing sandwich glass" to a state OF
perfection.
They call this a glass sandwich
but it has no reference to the glass
that once made Cape Cod famous,
when the best glass made in America
was named after the village of Sand
wich. where it was manufactured.
The hundreds of village workers
found year-round employment in the
glass works. and it became a pros
ferrous. happy community, but hu-
man-nature must have been about
the same then as now. because a few
radicals planned to strike. Sandwich
village and glass works cracked-up
and never looked the same That was
the end of the glass industry on the
Cape.
Charles F. Kettering. the wizard
of the research division of General
Motors. and John d. Biggers. presi-
dent of the Libbey- y-Owens-Ford Com
pany are agreed that new process of
high-test laminated safety plate glass
has been developed scientifically to
a point where clarity of vision is
combined with greater safety for the
passengers. The new glass can take
it. Tests show that a 16-pound bowl
ing ball dropped from a height of
six feet hits with a terrific impact
but the high-test safety plate glass
cushions" the blow-the glass holds
the ball-and he inner layer of the
sandwich" holds the layers of
crushed glass together.
This high-test safety plate glass is
used in all cars with Body by Fisher
for example. every five passenger
sedan model in the General Motors
line for 1910 has the new high-test
safety plate glass not only in the
windshield but in all door windows
and ventipanes too.
And in all cars with Body by Fish
er you will find genuine safety plate
glass all around thus eliminating car
sickness resulting from eye-strain
caused by looking through safety
sheet glass-the trade name for Or
dinary laminateG window" glass.
Practically every motorIst has had
headaches at some time or another |
Eye-strain symptoms including
heaviness, haziness. burn |
ing. aching. twitching and blurred |
vision are squite common when the
passing scene" is viewed through |
wavy sheet glass found in many mo-
Tor cars. Now we are assured that |
h e accessO-ies-before
aches have been licked to a frazzle
and that the triumphs in genuine
safety plate glass in Fisher Bodies
nave eliminated the ill-effects on
'ision due to cheap glass and the
consequent headaches and other dis
comforts.

In loving memory of my dear hus-
band and father. James E. Boone. who
passed away November S. 1926.
Sweet to remember him who once was
here
And although gone. is ever near;
For long he struggled against diseas ase
which haffled skull and care.
And long he fingered racked with pain
and suffered hard to bear.
And yet. through all. at times he smiled
smile of heavenly birth.
And when the angels called him home
he smiled farewell to earth.
For God saw the weary hillside was
getting hard to climb.
So He closed his weary eyelid9 and
whispered. Peace be thine g
Always missed

Seniority gravitates them into such

If lawmaEer is beaten at the
polls, he may be reelected later, but
he's lost his seniority status.
For example, the late Senator
James Couzens of Michigan, elected
as a Republican, was invited to run
again as a Democrat. AS a Demo-
crat, he thought he might win, but
if he did, he said, he'd come in as a
junior Democrat, rather than as

WAKE FOREST MEN
APPEAL SENTENCES
Trio Convicted In County
Court Of Drunken Driv-

Three Wake Forest men were con-
victed in county court today before
Recorder r. E. Clements of drunken
driving and hit and run, and each
was given II months on the roads.
Each appealed, and bond was set at
$500.
The men, j. H. Baker, Bland Will
son and Jack Wright were said to
have struck a wagon near Kittrell
on the night of April 2, and con-
tinued, later striking and overturn-
ing another automobile south of
Kittrell.
Charles F. Crews, Route S, Ok
ford, was charged with reckless
driving. It was shown to the court
that he had satisfied the prosecut-
ing witness as to damages, and
prayer of judgment was continued
upon payment of the costs and a
fine Of $40.
Giles benson, charged with pos
session of illegal whisky for the
purpose Of sale, was guilty of pos
session, and was given 80 days on
the roads commitment not to issue
upon payment of the costs and not
be convicted of violating any Grim
iral law in Vance county for the
next two years
Elmo Cults faced a drunk, disord-
erly and trespassing charge, but was
guilty of being drunk, and prayer
for judgment was continued upon
payment of the costs of court.

who ever heard of the committee

committee on printing! I'm speaking
Of the vital committees.
The hum-dinger of the entire out
fit is the representatives. rules COM
mittee The Senate has a rules COM
mittee, too, but the Senate's rules are
not as strict as those in the lower
chamber The senatorial body can
override it's rules committee quite
easily. Consequently it isn't so die
tatorial 1t can't be. The House COM
mittee, however, decides whether or
not proposed pieces of legislation can
be considered at all. By refusing to
give a bill right-of- way it usually
can prevent it from being so much as
discussed, let alone being voted on.
This committee likewise can be over
ruled by enough members of the
whole house, but it's mighty diff
ficult, long-draWn-out process.
In short, it's recognized that the
representatives virtually are bossed
by triumvirate consisting Of the
speaker, the majority leader and the
rules committee chairman.

Idle Acres Hold
Key In State For
Balanced Farming

College Station, Raleigh, April11
Nearly a million and a quarter
acres of the 8,243,711 acres of land
in North Carolina available for crops
is lying idle, and this acreage holds
the key to a better balanced farm
program in the State, in the opinion
of E. B. Garrett and w. D. Lee Of
State college, ~
Mr.. Garrett, the state coordinator
of the Soil Conservation Service, and
Mr. Lee, soil conservationist of the
Extension Service, offered solution
to the recovery of this ISL per cent
of the potential crop land, most Of
which is seriously eroded.
The solution is: Plant such land
to perennial legume crops like kud-
zu and lespedeZa sericea, to serve the
twin purpose of controlling erosion
and providing hay and forage for
farm livestock.
Farmers have found that where
the land is properly prepared and
where liberal applications of phOs-
plate fertilizers or manure is used,
kudzu and lespedeza sericea can be
established in two or three years and

quality hay" the soil conservation
lists stated.
'These idle and falloW areas which
have. been contributing nothing to
the farm income present an excel
lent opportunity for a beginning in
the attempt to provide a better bal
anced farm program. BY producing
their hay, needs on this 1871 per cent
of the crop land which has hereto
fore been allowed to remain idle,
farmers can. greatly improve their
farming program on their remain
