Ronnie loved her and she loved him.
But she needed proof of her own

had to look after her so much, you
see"
Then she forgot about the girl
whose picture was in Rob's wallet,
for they were at the yacht club
and attendants were hurrying to
gather their luggage and take them
to the wharf where a small boat
would convey them to the yacht
that, waited for them.
Sounds of laughter and music
came from it as the ferry chugged
across the water. More White-coat-
ed attendants were on hand to re-
ceive the newcomers and escort
them to their cabins. Linda sat
down and drew a deep breath when
she reached hers. It's ivory and blue
satin furnishings were finer than
those of any cabin on any ocean
liner she had seen. Pale pink roses
nodded in crystal vases and a small
radio was sending gentle stream
of music into the room. Before she
had finished dressing Linda heard
the motors turning and caught the
rhythmic vibration of a ship in mo-
ton. They were going, which must
mean that everyone, including
Ronald. was on board.
She glanced out of a portfolio
ard saw the lighted clubhouse, the
boats that waited at anchor drift
ing past. She dressed quickly in a
pale green frock, stepped into sill
Yer sandals, and fastened a wide
silver girdle at her waist. She did
not think she would need a wrap,
but she picked up the gray-green
cape whose color was as varied as
sea in storm and carried it with
her.
The boat was going fast. Much
faster than a boat usually went
when it had nothing more impor-
tant to do than cruise around on
home waters for a weekend, she
thought as she moved toward the
lounge. Apparently the party was
in full swing. Voices and laughter
rose and fell with the waves.
Sarah came to meet her. For a
brief moment Linda acknowledged
Sarah's beauty. There were yards,
even miles, of threaded chif-
fon in the gown she wore. Linda
became aware that her green frock
had been reduced drastically and
even at that she had been COM
PEELED to have it dry cleaned before
she could wear it. Still, it had been
beautiful and expensive once and it
could join the party bravely to-
night.

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERlLL-

Raleigh. July l7.-Some days ago
this corner adverted to the fact that
three separate agencies give out three
different sets Of figures on North
Carolina automobile fatalities each
month.
Here's proof of the assertion
June fatality reports were: Highway
Patrol SO. Safety Division 81, Board
OF Health IS (plus + Automobile
railroad collision victimS.)
And so it seems that, officially,
there were somewhere between Sc
and 70 highway fatalities in June,
which is very wide margin.
You can take your pick which to,
beIieve-there they are for the choos-
ing.
It does seem that a bit OF coordina-
ton and cooperation might help the
situation no little.
Your reporter can't vouch Tor the
absolute accuracy of this; but it
comes on good authority that when
they started to take pictures OF the
Typical North Carolina Family as
it started for The New York Worlds
Fair. great CONSERVATION relgned
when it was discovered that the
Typical Tar Heels were travelling

ing tools.
while silica sand is found in
practically all parts of the world,
the pure sand. required for making
good glassware, is not so generous
ly distributed. The best in the Uni
ted States is found in Pennsylva-
mia, West Virginia and in eastern
Ohio.
You can see the necessity for
this purity when you consider that
only .06 of one per cent of iron in
the sand inevitably produces an
off-color and unsatisfactory glass.
But it is not enough for the sand
to be pure. It must go through
an exacting preparation process IN
which it is thoroughly washed and
calcined so as to remove all impur-
tiles and vegetable matter and then
ground up into a fine, white pow
der.
"LIME-Lime is used to furnish
alkaline content, necessary to
give the glass strength and work
ability. The form mostly i muse
is granulated quick lime; how
ever, either quick lime or hydrat-
ed lime may be used. Lime glass,
commonly used by makers of
cheaper grades of glass, locks the
addition of those other materials,
notably lead, which produce those
qualities wanted by makers of
finer glass.
'GITHARGE-This material acts
in much the same manner as red
lead oxide but is not as valuable
for the reason that it does not con-
tain as much oxygen.
"SODA ASH-Soda ash or sodium
carbonate is used principally as a
iux to start the batch melting. 1t
also furnishes part of the alkali
necessary for making glass.
"POTASH-In the making of fine
glass, potash is used in place of
soda ash. 1t not only acts as a flux,
but also imparts the resonance or
ring which is characteristic of fine
glassware.
'BORAX-Another iux, some
times used, is borax. 1t also forms
part of the alkaline content and
gives to the glassware certain heat
resisting qualities"

Story Of Development Of Glass Industry
Continued By Flower And Gift Shop Here
THE first glass works in the

THE first glass works in the
-~sacLusetts colony appeared
about 1889 to 1914. Little came of
it, however, because the sand on
the New England coast was not
particularly adaptable to good
glasswar the clay did not make
good pots, and the number of
skilled workmen was few. Wealthy
colonists still preferred the sump-
tuous product imported from Eng
land.
"a little more than a hundred
years later, about the middle of
the eighteenth century, glassware
was made in Pennsylvania by Bar
on Stiegel. Expressive of the charm
of the Colonial period, these pieces
arc much sought by collectors to-
day, bot for their delightful shape
and their color, mostly dark blues
and greens.
I'm 1927, a carpenter by the
name of Denning Jarves at Sand
wich, Mass, discovered a n e W
met ID for pressing glass in a
mold. This discovery served to put
Sandwich far ahead in the manu-
facture of glassware and brought
the S of glass within the reach of
every purse. Constant improve
ments during the past century have
further improved the methods until
we have the delightful shapes in
use by American manufacturers to-
day.
ITO give a complete history of
the making of glassware in this
country would take far more
space than we have at our disposal.
The first glass furnaces were es-
tablished close to forests where a
continuous supply of wood for fuel
could be obtained. Later, when
natural gas was discovered, these
glass factories were moved farther
west into Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, even in
to Oklahoma. Probably equally
important as a reason for the glass
and pottery industries c~entering in
western Pennsylvania and eastern
Ohio r the numerous clay de-
posts for making suitable melting
pots and the discovery of a beauti-
full white silica or sand ideally suit
ed for glass. This sand is equal, if
not superior, to the sand in the
famed beds at Fontainebleau in
France.
A Gift from the Gods
"1n one of the tales of the ancient
Greeks there is the story of Prom.
etheus who stole fire from Mount
Olympus, the home of the gods,
and carried it to earth in a hollow
staff. That deed was to make him
the founder of civilization. For il
is fire that makes our modern
world possible fire that savors
our cooking, warns our homes,
moves u machinery, makes oul
iron and steel. 1t is fire, too, tina
performs the miracle of melting
sand, alkali, and other materials
INTO glass.
And a miracle it is that such
diverse materials, SO opaque, in
~congruous, should, under the infu
ence of temperatures as high a:
2700 degrees F., become the beauti
full, scintillating glassware tn a

sential elements of glass are many

Qualities Of Barber
Genasco Roofing Are
Outlined By Hanoue,

IF you live in a tent-don't both
er to read this:
"Tent-dwellers are lucky, as far
as roofs are concerned" said the
operators of the Hanover l ron
Works, expert roofers. Most of
tEelr roof troubles Can be cured
with a needle and thread. A d
their ears are spared the tumult
OF claims and counterclaims about
what's what in roofing.
This little story il for people
who live in homes that have roofs
on them, Its purpose is to tell the
simple, Straightforward, story about
asphalt roofing. After you read it,
you will know a eood roof when
you e it. Most of all, you'll be in
a position to debunk the debunkers
who make roof-buying a night
mare.
What is roofing quality
That's easy! Like anything else
that's manufactured, it's a COM
bination of good materials a n d
good workmanship.
How is an asphalt single
made?
"Th, basic principle of manu-
featuring an asphalt single is vir-
tually the same throughout the in
dustry. Just as all automobiles
have wheels, an engine and a body.
asphalt shingles have a felt base
saturated with asphalt, outer coat
ings of asphalt on both sides of
the felt, and an exposed surface
OF mineral granules.
THE opportunity for making bet
ter roofing lies in the manner in
which these elements are assem-
bled, and in the quality of mate
rails used.
why is Barber Genasco roof
ing different?
Since asphalt is the main in
gredient in asphalt roofing, h S
is BARRIERS first consideration.
Barber is the only roofing manu-
facturer that uses genuine Trini-
dad Native Lake asphalt the
superb native asphalt that is min
ed from the famous asphalt lake
on the southern Caribbean island
of Trinidad.
How about the felts?
Barber is just as particular
about the felts that form the base
of Barber Genasco roofings as il
is about the asphalt that goes int
them. These felts are made accord.
ing to BARRIERS own specifications
They must consist chiefly of select
ed rags, the fbres of which are
liberated by a beaten and h e r
formed into a continuous sheet Of
the required weight, thickness,
strength and pliability. If t h e y
don't meet BARRIERS requirements,
back they 60.
How are the felts saturated?
"Only asphalts produced f r m
selected aspha
are used for s%aturating roofing
felts. Barber uses two distinct
types:
For roll roofings there is a sat
urant that leaves the finished roof
ing flexible and, at the same time,
contributes strength and toughness.
For shingles, a harder saturant is
used, in order to produce a more
rigid product.
During %saturation, these as.
phalts are kept at a temperature
Of about 375 degrees, in order to
make them sufficiently liquid to
insure saturation of the highest
degree. The Barber method OF sat
uration assures complete distribu'
