dow" was produced by proc
esses which have changed but
little since the art Of working
in stained glass reached its
zenith in the 18th and 18th
centuries. ...
The new window Is the Gre
alton of Wilbur Herbert Burn
ham, who was recently award
ed the Craftsmanship Gold
Medal of the American Insti-
tute of Architects for "distin-
guished achievement in stain
ed glass;" He has designed
other important windows for
the Cathedral. including the
Joan of Arc" "Annuncia-
ton" and Resurrection"
At present, he is at work
on two windows for the
choir clerestory, one showing
an angel with flaming sword
driving Adam and Eve from
the Garden of Eden, the other
picturing Jacob wrestling
with an angel.
In Mr.. Burnham's studios
here, nearly every detail Of
the rather complicated stain
ed glass process, from the ini-
tial sketch to the finished
window, Is executed by hand,
just as 1t was during the Mid
die Ages. The only important
difference Is that MIR. Burn
hams smock-clad craftsmen
do not mold their lead; 1t
comes from q factory in the
required sizes and shapes.
The stained glass art went
into decline after the 18th
century. In the 10th and 10th
centuries factories in Eng
land, Germany and the
United States turned out vast
numbers of windows which
Mr.. Burnham rates as de
plorable." Among artists the

Art Of the Centuries
By GRACE DES CHAMPS
se.e,oI cors.pecdsn. Of The s.or

the last few decades have wit
messed a powerful rebirth Of
interest in stained glass and
an accompanying development
of skill in creating it. And the
Boston designer has been q
major figure in this renais-
sance.
In his view. the making of
beautiful windows was never
a "lost art" Its basic princi-
Piles were almost entirely for
gotten for centuries" he says,
but in recent years much Of
the magic quality of medieval
stained glass has been recap
tured.
Indeed, it may we'll be
said" Mr.. Burnham points
out that windows are being
made today by American art
lists which rival those of the
Middle Ages"
Moreover. barring the
atomic bomb, these contempo-
rary stained-glass master
pieces should survive, like
their predecessors, for centu-
ries, he adds.
The 25-foot Physicians
window" was installed in the
east wall of the Cathedral's
north transept several weeks
ago and Is scheduled for dedi-
cation today. It was given by
Mrs. Rosa Freeman of Balti-
more In memory of her hus-
band, DR.. Elmer Burkitt Free
man, an internationally ia
nous gastro-enterologist.
Christ, the Great Healer, is,
of course, the central figure
in the three-lancet window.
Louis Pasteur, discoverer of
the science of bacteriology, is
depicted In the left lancet,
and Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell,
Labrador physician. in the
right. Other symbolic figures
include a ''horse-and-buggy
doctor" racing a stork, a ply
sician at work In a laboratory
and Christ healing the leper.

Since 1889, railroad employees have
had three general pay raises totaling
52f1o%, and the prices of fuel, ma
terials and supplies have risen 61fho%.
But when the war ended in 1915,
the railroads were still hauling freight
at rates no higher, and in some cases
Louer, than when the war began.
Without increased revenues, railroads
could not meet these costs and also
provide improvements in equipment
and facilities that are
essential for the low-cost freight and
passenger services which are necessary
to Americas high standard of living.
Under these circumstances-and al
most a year after the last major wage
increase = the Interstate Commerce
Commission recently approved an
average increase in freight rates of
lie 1o%.
Of all the price increases in America

100, 900 different products. They pay
big taxes - taxes which are spent not
only for public schools, public health,
and police and fire protection, but
euen for highways, airways, airports
and inland waterways.
Railroads are Americas lifeline
keeping goods flowing among the 48
states day and night in all weather.
They can continue to do this only if
there is a reasonable balance between
income and outgo. Like yourself, the
railroads must make ends meet!
