Lucy B. Moore Flower & Gift Shop Concludes
Story Of 5000 Years Of Glass Manufacturing

This is the last of the series of
three articles on the history and
manufacture of glassware publish
ed through the courtesy of the
Cambridge Glass Company by the
Lucy B. Moore Flower and Gift
Shop. This weeks article discusses
more ingredients and actual glass
manufacture by today's methods.
At the end will be found a partial
list of the many beautiful pieces
of Cambridge glassware on sale
at the Lucy B. Moore shop.
"LEAD-In the better, higher
priced crystal glass, lead is used,
usually in the form of red lead
oxide. It gives to glass many valu-
able properties, increasing the den
sity, resonance, and retroactive in
dex. Peddle, a well-known English
authority on glass, says that lead
is necessary to secure color, den
sity, brightness, durability, ca S y
melting, and easy working. Be
cause of the comparative softness
of lead glass, it has a lower melt
ing point and is easier to plane
and consequently, freer from COM
mon defects such as cord and
seed Beautiful designs can also
be cut into lead glass.
1.-THE oxygen in the lead oxide

is drawn off at the other end by
Workmen or machinery.
I'm the second method, used for
making fine glassware, pots a r e
used in the place of tanks. AS many
as fourteen of these pots, each
capable of holding a ton of molten
glass, r grouped in a furnace
and charged separately. During the
process of melting, these pots are
tightly covered SO that ~ SCOT or
dirt can enter and discolor h e
glass. So important is cleanliness,
that even the gas used in the fur
mace is filtered of al SCOT and dirt.
No precaution is too great to keep
the bitch clean.
"The pots or crucibles are made
of fire clay, thoroughly glazed on
the inside, and allowed to season
for several months before they are
placed in use. Expensive to make
and c problematical life, e S E
pots r warmed-in gradually to
eliminate any tendency toward
cracking. How long they last in
service depends upon this initial
care and the kind of glass made in
them. When they have served
their purpose, they are broken up
and reground to make other pots.
1t seems that he more his fire clay
is used an burnt, the better it be-
comes.
There are many other fascina-
ting phases of the making of fine
glassware which we could cover

and its decoration which includes
etching, cutting, etc, . b

Knowing how intricate glass
manufacture really you can now
better appreciate the array of beau
tiful and distinctive Cambridge
glassware the Lucy 7. Moore shop
has to Offer. Included in regular
shipments are lovely patterns in

instruction to be a better-than-av-

One of the nice features is the
fact that you don't have to buy any
paraphernalia. Just 60 and pick
up a ball and commence. It's as
simple as that. On the other hand,
you also can 60 in for bowling in a
big way, if you desire. You can
have your own ball in it's own leath-

for women bowlers. There are

The Weird Chemistry
OF CoIOring Glass

eff this exactness is necessary
in mixing the basic materials, it
is even more necessary when mea-
surfing the mineral salts and oxides
which give color to colored crystal.
Just a pinch of some salts and
oxides, for instance, will color an
entire batch.
This chemistry of color is one
of the most fascinating aspects Of
the making of glassware. The
choice of coloring materials is
seemingly so Illogical, SO contrary
to what you would expect in the
results each achieves.
For instance, cadmium sui
phide, a silvery white, metallic
gray crystal which is an element
of copper ore, produces a beauti-
full amber or a brilliant red, de-
pending upon the quantity used.
Black oxide of copper, black as its
mama implies, imparts a rich blue
green. And so it goes, practically
every mineral salt or oxide used
in coloring glass produces a color
totally different from it's own.
Melting the Glass
There are two distinct methods
of melting glass, depending upon
the quality of the glass to be made.
1.-The cheaper kinds of glass,
known as tank glass, r made by
feeding the materials to be melted
into a large rectangular tank. The
batch is fed into one end of this
tank through an opening known as
the dog house, The molten glass

Brooklyn Cafe Popular
For High Quality Food

1--WE are more than satisfied with
the large patronage our cafe has
attracted since our complete re-
building and mod%ernization pro-
gram conducted last year." Steve
George, operator of the New Brook
Ign Cafe, 1913 North Fourth street,
said last week. eve feel sure this
clientele has been built through the
good food we serve and the fine
service we render. 1t is certainly
true that where quality food is to
be had in a modern cafe patronage
is sure to increase.
Food is one of the most delicate
things to handle when one is serv-
ing the public" said Mr.. George.
''It has to be prepared with the ut
most of care and with the strictest
of sanitation. And each patron
must be served individually, as to
special seasoning and cooking to
please his or her exacting taste.
We are always on the lookout here
to be sure to serve our customers
with fresh, well-cooked delicacies."
Mr.. George personally supervises

oxide has the highest specific gra-
witty of any of the materials used,
it has a tendency to sink to the
bottom Of the pot, liberating bub-
les of oxygen which carry to the
surface any impurities or unmelted
portions of the batch.
"MANGANESE-This is used as
a decoloring agent to offset or over-
come the greenish tinge or low
color caused by impurities such
as iron in the batch. If too much
manganese is put into the batch,
however, the glass becomes pink
and is said to have high color.
Manganese is also used to pro-
duce a purple or pink glass, but il
allowed to get too hot, turns the
glass an unsatisfactory yellow or
brown and finally green.
Observation-Disclosures, which acts
as a clarifying agent, is used as
arsenious oxide or arsenate tri-
oxide. 1t is associated with copper
and is a ~by-product of the copper
industry.
"Other materials utilized in the
manufacture of crystal glass are
barium oxide, zinc oxide, alumina,
feldspar, etc.
Mixing the Batch
This whole mixture of silica
sand, cullet, potash, lead or lime,
etc., ready for charging into the
pot or tank, is called the batch.
Preparing this batch is a most
e~xacting process, not to be achiev-
ed by any hit-or-miss methods. In
the making of better glass, this
exactness begins with the setting
up of the original specifications for
a given kind of glass. 1t continues
in the chemical laboratory where
all incoming materials are tested
and analysed. 1t follows through to
the mixing room W h e r e
weighing machines measure out the
heavy materials and sensitive bal
ances parcel out the finer ones,
often in quantities as small as a
single ounce for a batch weighing
1000 pounds. The result is that a
given grade of good glass is al
ways the S e today, to-
morrow, or five years hence.
'"These materials having b e e n
most carefully proportional, r e
placed in a steel car which re-
mains in the mixing room until
