Glass Brick
New Product Prevents
'Shut-In' Feeling

The development of transpar-
ent glass building block that af-
fords almost window-like vision
was announced Saturday by H
r. Haynes, manager of glass block
sales. Pittsburgh Corning Corpora
ton.
The new block, called the ''Vue"
glass block. was developed for
specific needs where some outside
vision is desired through panels
of non-transparent glass blocks.
The new "Vue" block permits
sufficient general vision of large
objects or movements beyond the
panel to prevent a "shut-in" feel
ing, although the visibility of
sharp detail is not possible under
most conditions.

Furniture
-
Gives
Atmosphere
BY ELEANOR ROSS

IT TAKES a great deal more
than furniture and appointments
to give, a home atmosphere. A
'1ived-in" living room is infinitely
more beautiful than a formal,
'decorator-done drawing room,
with all its fine furniture and
clever color scheme.
There isn't a woman who isn't
at heart a homemaker, or who
hasn't some ideas for identifying
a room or making it more inter-
esting. Don't be afraid to make
changes in the grouping and ar
arrangement OF your furniture.
Twist and re-arrange until you've
achieved something that is just
right for you, always considering
the activities that go on in the
room, of course.
+ Search the galleries or the stores
until you find a painting that APP
peals TO you, at a price you can
pay, and if it is a glowing, colorful
thing, make il the focal point of
your room. Pictures, TO a room,
are what jewels are to a woman's
costume, says one understanding
decorator.

Let Pictures Dominate

If you are placing a fine picture,
give it the whole wall to itself,
making the wall its outer frame
thus helping TO focus the eye on it.
If there is one striking or domi-
nant color in the picture. then
pick it up in the pattern of a drape
or chair fabric, and thus subtly
build you room about the picture.
This will give it atmosphere.
When browsing about an an
tique shop or one Of the many
thrift shops that appear in most
localities, keep your eye open for
things for the home. Should you
come across one of those ornate
Victorian bird cages, be sure to
grab it, even If there isn't a canary
in the family! For, filled with
plants, such a cage would add at
mosphere, charm and a touch OF
the unusual to any but a very
modern, slick interior.

Books Add Charm

Use odd pieces of wallpaper to
beautify corners, a niche or above
the mantel, IL the budget won't
permit mirror glass. Use wall
paper to cover old boxes and make
"a dado out of floral cut-outs or to
paste on large plain lamp shade.
Use your books to give color and
charm to your living room. No
need to place them in sedate rows.
Rearrange them, placing them in
stacks or in piles, with here and
there a book bound in a brilliant
jacket, placed with the covers
open. Use silver or gold papers
IL you can still find 'em and bal
ance with bright-hued Jacket
covers TO make a color compost

served continuously in that ca
pacity for % years until he retired
at the age of 40.
Mr.. Richards returned to Mil
ford when he retired and is now
devOting his time to making maps
of various sections, and doing re-
search in the history of various
communities.
Map Discoveries
During his research on the map
of the Milford section, Mr.. Rich
ards discovered that maps Of 1927
show that Dover was the sole
town in Kent County at that time,
and that Lewes, Dagsboro, and
st. Johnstown were the only towns
in Sussex County.
st. Johnstown is mentioned in
the notes on the margin of the
map as once having been bust
ling stage-stop on the Kings
Highway, and a trade center of
Importance. With the advent of
the railroad into Greenwood, St
JOhnstown practically ceased TO
exist.
Other fOotnotes OF interest on
the map include the story of how
the soldiers of Delaware came TO
be known as the BLUE Hens
Chickens" He also mentions the
fact that Ocean View and the ad-
jacent territory have become cele-
brated for the raising of broiler
chickens since 1925. In 1897, it is
noted, II million broilers were
raised in Baltimore Hundred, the
extreme southeast corner of Della
ware.
Barratt's Chapel, built in 1850,
is shown by Mr.. Richards as the
Cradle of Methodism." On Nov.
IA, 1884, the sacrament of the
Lords Supper was first admin
Istered in America by authorized
Methodist preachers to Methodist
congregations.
Marginal Notes
Mr.. Richards in other illustra-
ions around the margin of the
nap, notes that horses are still
lsed extensively in the state de-
jpite the influx of automobiles;
he state bird Is the cardinal; the
argest tree in Delaware. 221z feet

Turkeys, geese, ducks and

Wild birds of the state. Apples,

nearly one and a quarter billion
bushels. This is almost enough
wheat TO meet this country's wheat
needs for two years.
Another reason for large wheat
supplies is that the average per-
son in the United States eats less
wheat than formerly. The con-
sumption of wheat averaged "A
bushels per person 20 years ago,
while i'm 1880 it was Al bushels,
and only 81 bushels per person
in 1889. Although the population
has increased, the lower consump-
tion per person has prevented any
appreciable increase of the total
consumption of wheat.
Cain maintains that the fact
that the domestic market is not
able to absorb the wheat grown
in this country, coupled with the
sharp curtailment of exports, are
factors for Delaware wheat grow
ers to study carefully before the
marketing quota referendum on

Farmers in this country produce
more wheat than the home market
is able to use, explains L. e. Cain
OF FELTON,, member of the State
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration committee, in pointing
out that large supplies are ex-
pected to make marketing quotas
necessary for handling the 1871
crop.
During the past Is years. farm
ors have produced an average of
1O9 million bushels Of wheat more
than was consumed in this coun-
try.
In the past. exports have fur
nished an outlet for much of the
wheat produced above domestic
needs. But since the outbreak of
the present war, wheat exports
have been almost entirely cut off
by blockade. AS a result, United
States wheat has piled up until
the total supply for the 1941-42
marketing year is expected to be
