"Of all the arts of man, there is
none SO fascinating to watch and
wonder as that of making fine
glassware. Picture, if you can, a
man dipping the end of a long, hol-
low rod into a seething pot of tat

What inspiration was it that led
man to perform this first miracle
of fusing sand and alkali with in

and how did he learn that. by add
ing certain chemicals, seemingly
illogical in their choice, he could
create artificially the rich, luscious
red of the ruby, the warm brown
of the topaz, the flaming L1ue of the
sapphire, the verdant green of the
emerald?

River BGlus was always an mex
haustible mine for ancient glass
workers, and modern travellers still
describe the white sands heaped
ON each side of the stream.
"Another narrator, with vivid i'm
agination, describes an intense for
est fire along the edge of a great
body of water. Under the terrific
heat, ashes from the crashing trees
fused with the sand to turn part
of the beach into a mass of crystal.
Factual History
How much of truth there is in
these legends no mi knows. The
fact remains, howev +. that some
place, somewhere, somehow, back
in prehistoric times, man did dis
cover the secret of making glass.
Historically, the first glass may
have been made by the Egyptians.
Knowing how to glaze pottery, they
may have applied this knowledge
to the making of glass as the two
processes are quite similar. Exca-
vations of the tombs of their kings
have uncovered small vases, brace
lets, imitation precious stones, and
even little bottles. However, their
glass was not the smooth and trans
parent glass we know today.

ut was in Rome that the great

Military conquests had brought her

a thriving glass trade rapidly de-

SO much so that Egyptian glass
workers were imported into Italy,
and about IA A. D. the first glass

Destruction, Starvation
Two Effective Means For
Preventing Moth Damages

"Only two ways r effective in
preventing the millions of dollars
worth of damage caused each year
by moth larvae destroy the
moth or starve it." the operators
of the Modern Cleaners, 118 South
18th street, said last week.
The starvation method is simple.
Do not put away a single article of
wool unless it is absolutely clean.
Cleaning and modern laundering
remove from moth larvae the
green pastures" they seek. It is
a fact that moths do not attack a
freshly dry-cleaned Cor properly
laundered) garment-first, because
it's barren land" SO to speak,
and secondly, because the clean
ing has left the fiber distastefu]
and unappetising.
But see that every wooden article
is clean. 1t is no use, for example,
to clean and mothproof a chester
field suite and leave the rugs in a
dirty condition. The moths will SIM
ply ignore the furniture upholstery
and make a feast of the rugs.
If garments are clean, take them
out and brush them thoroughly
once a month. Give them q good
airing in the sun, if possible.
Drycleaning or laundering kills
both the moth eggs and larvae. So,
it's cheaper to clean them than to
buy new clothing. If you put away
garments in the bag in which they
come from the drycleaner-or
blankets just as they are delivered
home-be sure to seal up bag or
parcel so that moths cannot creep
in and lay eggs.
Do not rely on your own amateur
efforts at "mothproofng." To be
effective, mo%thproofing must be
complete. The chemical must pene-
trate the fabric as thoroughly as
a dye-and reach every seam. Be-
ware, too, of fumigants. They r
safe (and efficiently only when used
with expert knowledge and skill.
Americas crusade against the gi-
gantic destruction done each year
by moths begins with the slogan
keep all wooden things clean" 4
