for the Empress Eugene Of France,
wife Of Napoleon III. There was
also the Victoria pattern named for
Queen Victoria of England and made
in 1860 or earlier. Two types were
produced in 1860 to commemorate
the laying Of the Atlantic cable.
Following the assassination of
Lincoln in 1865, two designs ap-
peared with so-called Lincoln
Drapes. The Westward Ho. or Pho
neer pattern of the late 70s is an
elaborate frosted design, in relief,
depicting the log cabin of the pio-
neer, with bison and deer. The GOV.
cred pieces of this type have the fig-
ure Of an Indian as q knob. The
glass company of Gillinder &
Sons, Philadelphia. who made the
Pioneer, also produced q Liberty
Bell for the centennial In 1876. And
50 1t goes. The glass makers of
the 10Th century were, like Currier
and Ives, truly print makers to the
American people" and captured In
their glass molds the spirit Of the
times.
Origin Of Booze.
Mrs. Zook has all Of these pat
terms, principally in goblets. and
many more historical designs be-
sides. She also has a large number
with flower Of fruit patterns. and
many with conventional designs Of
all sorts.
Among her pieces is one Of the
bottles responsible for the use Of the
term booze" meaning whisky. It is
a liquor bottle with the owners
name nodded on it. Edmund Booz,
Phila." In the early days Of the
American glass industry. glass was
not produced and sold In quantities
as it Is today. Instead, the pros.
pective purchaser would often visit
the glass plant. look over the SAM
Piles and order the number and kind
of pieces to fit his needs. The man
ufacturer would then make them for
him. And often the well-to-do GUS
toner would have articles made
with his own design, name or crest
on them. Mr.. Booz had his liquor
bottles made in that manner.
According to Mrs. Zook. American
pressed glass was first made by the
Sandwich Glass Co., Mass, in 1927.
The Sandwich pressed glass is very
well known and widely initiated. In
fact, many of the early patterns are
copied today, and often the imita-
tions are sold as the real thing. 1t
is quite a feat to be able to distin-
guish the original from the counter
felt, although once the distinctive
characteristic are clearly under.
stood the difference becomes appar-
ent, particularly if the true and the
false are present together and can
be compared.
Cryolite Used.
The accompanying picture shows
some of Mrs. looks large collection
of milk white" or opaque white.
Sandwich glass. She has about los
pieces of this glass, and sometime
when entertaining fellow glass col
lectors she sets her table with 1t, as
shown.
The milk white occurs in all de-
grees of opacity, varying from a
genuine opaque to almost an opal,
and in many lacy patterns. The
milkyness is due to the addition of
cryolite (sodium aluminium f1uoride)
to the metal.

NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest in

standard schnauzer, the neighboring
folk in Southern Bavaria developed
from this type the giant variety, q
dog fitted by his size and strength to
act as a drover's dog, and later to
make a mark as an army and police
dog.
One of the greatest standard
schnauzers ever shown in this country
is Oh. Winalesby volsung, home
bred dog owned and bred by the
Winaiesby Kennels Of Sharon. Pa.
In addition to a long list of best of
breed awards, Volsung has numerous
group placements, including fourth
in the group at Morris and Essex,
the worlds largest show. Even
more unusual for a dog for this
breed, he attained best-dog-in
show, all breeds, at last springs big
Indianapolis fixture.
AS an exemplar of the standard,
Volsung has the correct type Of
head. 1t is long but strong looking,
although not too wide. The eyes
are dark, of medium size and set
under projecting eyebrows. The
ears are small and set on high. The
jaw is square cut and strong. A
slightly arched neck, flowing
smoothly into strongly muscled
shoulders, adds style to his general
appearance. The chest is moderate
ly broad and deep. Strong muscles
are apparent in both fore and hind
legs. The feet are very compact and
cat-nke. The coat is wiry, strong
and close, neither long nor short,
but rough. In color, schnauzers may
be pepper and salt, black or black
and tan. In height they stand ap-
proximately 18 inches.

Show Notes

Danville and Newport News, Va,
are agog over their first licensed all
breed shows, to take place Friday
and Saturday. These are both f1rsts,
important steps in the lives of their
respective kennel clubs, and on their
success or lack of success hangs the
welfare of pure-bred dogs in their
sections Of the State. Just a little
cooperation from the townspeople
and breeders within driving distance
will be enough to assure the future
of the sport. Edgar A. Moss Of 808
Summit avenue, Greensboro, N. c.,
is experimenting both shows.
The bench show enthusiast often
forgets there is another branch of
the sport which claims almost as
many followers as does the bench
show. Field trials are certainly on
the upgrade. Licenses have been
granted for 96 sanction and cham
pionship trials this fall. Ten years
ago, at this time of the year, 28
such licenses had been granted.
Beagles, retrievers, settlers, spaniels,
dachshunds, poodles and few mis-
cellaneous breeds all engage in field
trials of one sort or another these
days. Pennsylvania is most active
in this sport. with a total of IL trials
scheduled; Ohio is second with II,
and New York is third with q total
of 8. Beagles lead in the number
of trials and spaniels are second.
Approximately 1900 judges are IL
censed by the American Kennel
Club to Judge pure-bred dogs. OF
this number, by far the majority
are licensed for only one or two
breeds. A much smaller number
are licensed to do a number of
breeds, generally related, often in
the same group classification. A
very small percentage are licensed
to Judge all breeds. The recent
deaths of Fred Ford and Vinton
Breese have further reduced this
number and added to the problems
of show-giving clubs in finding q
weu-balanced roster Of judges.
Toy dog owners find the show of
the Progressive Dog Club, held every
fall on the roof of the Hotel Penn
sylvania, New York, the most
exciting show of the year. The
seventh annual fixture of this Or
ganization is scheduled for Novem-
ber 10 this year. William Kendrick
will pick best in show and Alva
Rosenberg will conduct the parade
of champions. Each toy breed has
a specially Judge well versed in
that breed. The prize money is
indeed, outstanding, even one dog
in a class drawing back q 50 first
prize. And for the first time in this
country there will be obedience test
trials for toy dogs only.
Among members of the Bench
Show Committee of this club are
Mrs. Myra Habicht, well-known
local toy Manchester breeder, and
Frank Downing, long active in Capt.
tai dog circles and well.known
breeder Of Pekingess and pugs.

Hobbies and H0bbvists
By Edm mond Henderer.

Collecting glass may seem a par
ticularly uninteresting and unexcit-
ing hobby. but not the way Mrs.
George r. Zook does It, History. art,
human interest and American Folk
lore, all are bound up in the large
collection of American pressed glass
in Mrs. looks home at $500 Klingle
street NV. Even the industrial and
chemical advances of a nation for
the last 100 years are reflected in
the cleaning surfaces Of goblets,
plates, pitchers and bottles.
Mrs. Zook achieved her present in
terest in early American glass by
progressing through art, designing,
china and pottery. BY this almost
natural succession of hobbies, she
reached this one which is practically
a combination of them all. A little
story at this point will serve to illus
trate just one OF the many things
about glass which intrigued her.
There is practically no waste in a
glass factory. A china and pottery
plant throws away tons Of discarded
material annually, but a glass works
simply drops the excess metal" as
the molten glass Is called, back into
the next batch. In fact, in some
types Of glass, it was formerly land
may still be- customary to use q
definite proportion OF scrap in every
new batch made up. Thus there Is
a definite economy Of operation,
which is lacking in most industries.
Mrs. Zook is probably even more
Of a glass student than a collector.
Practically her entire collection has
been assembled with an eye to secur-
ing pieces which will fill out and
complete q history of the early
American glass industry. 1t Is now
possible in her collection to trace de.
velopment and trends In certain de-
signs. Also the current events Of
the time in which the glass was pro-
duced may be read in the patterns.
For example, the Eugene pattern
was produced at Pittsburgh, Pa,
sometime after 1858, and was named
