China Pots Cook Glass

The first step in making fine pol
ished plate glass is to melt sand,
soda-ash, lime and other ingredients
in huge clay pots holding more than
a ton of the molten glass. These
pots, about five feet in diameter,
are made of clays as fine as that
in high-grade table china.

NO CENSORSHIP

(From Editor and Publisher)
President Roosevelt was we'll ad-
vised in disregarding son Elliott's plea
for a rule against broadcasting Of for
eign propaganda. That is now a mat
ter for the individual judgment of
radio operators and they should soon
learn from the audiences whether the
re-broadcast of the short-wave hand
outs is a popular service.
At this writing, we think it is we'll
that Americans be informed on all
national attempts to influence our
opinions. To date, we have not been
impressed by their efficiency. The
German, Polish, and Italian broad
casts, which are out-and-out propa-
ganda, discount the ability of Ameri-
cans either to hear other stations or
to read newspapers. The German, es-
pecially, has tried clumsily to under
mine American confidence in our press
even to the extent of quoting from a
non existent American newspaper.
Let's assume the basic intelligence of
our citizenry, its belief in our own in
stitutions and news service-and let's
have no censorship Of any kind on this
side of the water.

DAD RECOMMENDS A SYSTEM

"You don't have any SYSTEM" my 9th
er half said
When I'd worked hard all day, and
was pretty near dead.
For the work that had taken twelve
hours before,
Had stretched itself into fourteen or
more.
At the usual bedtime there were two
or three chores
That had to be done, or leave eye sores
On the face of a house freshly scrub
bed, waxed and polished,
The doing Of which had my strength
quite demolished.
"a SYSTEM" snorted, "rd like you to
do it
with babies to care for, you'd GER
tainly rue it
"1f once you tried" My temper no
doubt
Caused him to reply with a pretty
loud shout.
| suppose system would put ban
dages on,
Or get gum out of hair, or hundred
and one
Things that go wrong at the wrong
minute;
A system for housewives! There amt
nothing in it!
For instance, you're in the midst Of a
feat
When daddy comes in and yells,
"When do we eat? Will you patch
these pants?
Or, can't that work wait
Till you go to the store and get shrimp
for fish bait?
This system, he spoke of, l tried out
one day,
Starting in bright and early, fresh
from the hay.
got so bum fuddled | almost went
crazy,
Certainly not as he predicted I'd be,
fresh as a daisy.
1t just don't work out, this system
caper
In actual work as it does down on
paper.
Now daddy has often been right be-
fore
But this time his advice has proven
a bore.
Now Pll start in the morning and
work until night,
If he offers advice we won't have a
fight,
I'll just offer him some, Ill start in
insisting,
I'll do the housework while you tend
to your fishing.

TELEGRAPHERS REJECT
CLIO. MERGER PLAN

Chicago, ILL.,, (AFLWNS).-Frank
B. Powers, president of the CONNER
cial Photographers Union, an affiliate
of the American Federation of Labor,
emphatically rejected a merger with
the C. |. o. American Communications
Association proposed by Mervyn Rath-
borne of New York, president of the
A. C. A. The proposal was made on
the opening day of the convention of
the Commercial Telegraphers Union
here.
"This C. l. o. outfit spent two years
and 100000 trying to destroy our un-
ion," Mr.. Powers declared, adding:
"Now that they have failed, they
ask us to unite with them. Such tao
tics are sample Of the communistic
methods employed by the group spon-
sored by John l.. Lewis"
Mr.. Powers said that the communi-
cation from Mr.. Rathborne would not
even be officially received by the con-
vention. He added that the C. l. o.
union had won most of it's members
by closed shop agreements obtained
by sit-down strikes, a method which,
he declared, the Commercial Teleg-
raphers Union has spurned.
A large number of the delegates to
the convention represented members
employed by press wire services,
brokerage firms, leased wire opera
tors and radio telegraph companies.

Bigelow Notified
More Signatures
Must Be Secured
Forty Statewide Organize
tons Fight Proposed
Amendments

Columbus, Ohio (OLNS) Herbert
S. Bigelow, Cincinnati minister, spon-
sor of proposed constitutional amend
ment providing for payment of pen
sions of $50 a month to needy aged
over 60 and $50 month for married
couples over that age, was notified by
Secretary of State Earl Griffith on
September 18th that petitions to place
the proposal on the November ballot
were 67,795 signatures short Of the
required number.
The Secretary of State notified Rev.
erend Bigelow that he had until Sep
tember 22nd in which to file additional
signatures to cover the shortage, Gre
ated by invalidations made by county
boards of education, to whom they had
been sent for checking against elector
registration records.
At the time he filed original petit
tions with the Secretary of State over
month ago, Reverend Bigelow an
nounced that he was holding petitions
bearing approximately 100000 sigma
lures in reserve for such an emer-
gency.
Supplementary petitions were sent
to all Local Unions affiliated with the
Ohio State Federation of Labor several
weeks ago. The pension plan and
amendments to the constitutional pro-
vision for initiative petitions were ap-
proved by the 1889 convention of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor at
Akron.
Forty statewide organizations have
banded together in opposition to the
Bigelow-proposed amendments to the
constitution.

Many Ohio Firms
Not Poying Into
Unemployed Fund
Report Shows More Than %
Thousand Employers Not
Contributing

Columbus, O.--After thirty-three
months of operation of the Ohio law,
52,752 Ohio employers are contribu-
tors to the State Unemployment Com
pensation fund, Administrator H. C..
Atkinson announced today.
The Ohio Unemployment Compen-
sation Bureau officials estimate that
there are $4,000 Ohio employers liable
under the State law, and that 22,248
are not as yet making contributions.
An intensive effort is being made by
the Bureau, Mr.. Atkinson said, to con-
tact these liable employers and in
form them of the necessity of paying
their contributions.
Every Ohio employer, except those
in few exempted classes, who has
three or more employees at any one
time, must under the Ohio law con-
tribute to the job insurance system,
he said.
One Of the surest channels for dis
covering non-paying employers is the
process that starts when a worker
formerly employed applies for bene-
fits, the Administrator explained. 1t
then becomes necessary for the en-
ployer who has failed to pay his con-
tributions to make up his delinquent
cies.
Hundreds of employers of three or
more workers have failed to make
contributions because of misunder-
standing or lack of information, it
was asserted. Often employers have
been confused because the Ohio unem-
ployment compensation law requires
payment where three or more are en-
ployed, while the federal social Sc
curity act exempts from the excise
tax, under Title TX, employers of
seven or less.
employers of three or more are
liable to the Ohio fund, Mr.. Atkinson
added, because Ohio law is more in
elusive than the federal statute"

ECHOES

II think yours is one of the happiest
families l have ever known" I said
to Blanche Varian one evening when
| had been dining at her home.
"Do you really mean that, Lucia ?"
The eagerness in my friends voice
surprised me.
Indeed do mean it," / answered
honestly. "I've seen your children
under all sorts of circumstances and
they are consistently goodnatured. I've
never seen one Of them cross or sullen.
"When Helen missed winning
prize in the Good Reading Poster Con-
test by the narrow margin of three
points, she looked almost as pleased
as if the judges had given her first
place. Tll do better next time,' she
told me. And, as you will remember,
a few weeks later, she did win a prize,
at school, for her essay on the history
of our city,"
"You don't know how glad l am to

piled. "There was a time when Tom

but / didn't know how much l was

Zone morning Helen came in from

lugubriously, and exclaimed, I'm dust
too tired to do anyfingn The words
and tone were such a good echo of
my own that l could not fail to recog-

"The situation was amusing at first,
but little introspection showed me
what complainer l had become and
what miserably poor example was

echoed my complaining tones so faith
fully.
when / was trying to mend my
ways noticed that Tom wasn't giving
Junior any better example that I'd
been giving Helen. He'd come home

ing it in fairly successful manner,

 The subject of the Lesson Sermon will be 'sMORTALS AND MINOR TALS".
 The Golden Text is from II Corin- thians 5:4: We that are in this tabernacle do groan, being bur- dened: not for that would be un- clothed, buteclothed upon, that mor- tality n41gnt be swallowed up of life"
 Readings from the Bible include the following passages from Ezekiel 18: 31, 32: Cast away from you all your transgresions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For l have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, said the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye."
 Selections from the Christian sci- ence textbook, "6cience and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. include the following citation: ITO be immortal, we must forsake the mortal sense of things turn from the lie of false belief to Truth. and gather the facts of being from the divine Mind" tpage 370: |2-s).
