ESCAPE IN TIME
Continued from page ttcenty-three

and 80 buoyant Just before the
taxi slid away from the curb, she
leaned from the window to call to
Martha, Dearest, a word to the
lovelorn. Bum that hat."
Martha turned back to call Gail
Talbot, and Gail said, "Oh, it's
you, Martha. I've been trying to
get Alice. Have you seen her?"
IL saw her in town, Gail"
WAS she all right?" Gail was
anxious.
"She was lunching at Dana's in
a new hat" Martha said.
"Oh, thank heaven" Gail was
relieved. ."Anything but the
thought of Alice in tears"
'Tears?" Martha said. "Ahce:?"
"Oh, Martha, what an awful
party" Calls stricken words
tumbled out. 1T must have been
jinxed. John didn't realize we
were celebrating your anniver-
sary, so just for fun we got Alice
into my wedding dress, and Ed
was the groom. They made a
grand entrance, and John saw the
light, but l missed Alice after
ward, and l found her crying be-
hind the guest-room door,"
"OH" Martha said. and then
again, "Oh." 1t was a full minute
before she could say, Let's try
it again, Gail. That's why called
you. At our house. Tonight.
But you have the family,
Martha, and ="
The family's gone" Martha
said. "Just come. will you?"
She gathered an armful of jon
quils and forsythia. She arranged
them. She banked the mantel
with the jonquils, filled tall vases
with the feathery forsythia. She
set the table in festive array, two
bright red spots burning high in
her cheeks. In a gingham apron
then, a towel around her head,
her hands deep in the pie dough,
she planned it to the minute.
She would meet John at the door
in the blue dinner dress. She
would say. why. how do you do?
You're John Bonham, aren't you?
And I'm Martha Fentriss. Re-
member" But that must be the
last word about anniversaries.
After that, she would throw the
party Alice's way.

President Is Planning
No Further Changes
As Royal Resigns

President Truman's primary
specifications for the ideal public
servant-under present conditions
add up to this:
An iron man with an elephant
hide, who doesn't have to worry
about the money.
The President offered this
whimsical blueprint at a news
conference late yesterday when
he announced the long expected
resignation of Army Secretary
Royal, then added, in response
to a question, that no other serious
changes in the defense establish
ment, were in prospect.
OF course, he amplified, shifts
always are taking place in govern
ment. because it takes the sort OF
tough individual he described to
stick around. Nor is the pay any
inducement, he concluded.
Pay Bill Tied up.
An administration bill to raise
the salaries of top level officials
has been tied up on Capitol Hill
since Congress started to work.
Mr.. Truman said he was not
ready yet to announce a successor
to Mr.. Royal, a resident OF Colds
boro, N. c., who is returning TO
the private practice Of law.
Curtis Calder, New York utili-
ties magnete, and John Peurifoy.
assistant Secretary OF State, have
been mentioned as possibilities
for the war portfolio.
The Presidents statement that
no more major changes in the
military setup are in sight would
seem to dispose Of recurrent re-
ports that Navy Secretary Sui
Ivan also is on the way out.
The weekly news conference
dealt largely with jobs.
Bruce Named Envoy to France.
The President announced that
he was appointing David K. E.
Bruce, Marshall Plan mission
head in France, to be Ambassador
to France, succeeding Jefferson
Caffey. The latter, career dip
lomat, is returning to this country
pendfng another assignment.
Mr.. Bruce is the son OF the
late Senator Bruce, Democrat, OF
Maryland.
He will be replaced as mission
head by Barry Bingham, 43-year-
old head of the Louisville Courier
Journal and Times, and wartime
Navy commander.
The Courier journal was one OF
the few newspapers which sup
ported Mr.. Truman's bid for re-
election.
Elsewhere on the job front. the
President said that Robert Bacher
has rendered his resignation from
the Atomic Energy Commission,
but added that he was trying to
get the official to reconsider.
There already is one vacancy on
the body, w. w. Waymack hav-
ing resigned some months ago.
No Comment on McCloy.
Mr.. Truman wouldn't comment
on reports that John ]. McCloy,
World Bank head, might be high
commissioner to Germany If a
trizona1 republic is created and
the military gives up supreme con-
trol-a step that is anticipated.
The President squelched re-
ports that Attorney General Clark
is quitting. saying that the Texan
is staying in the cabinet:
In sresigning, MIR. Royal told
the President that "the Army
everywhere is in excellent shape"
according to observations made in
the course of a global inspection
tour, which, he added, confirmed |

A glass fish is one of the relics
of ancient Egypt. 1t was made $500
years ago, or more. The fish is
hollow, has an open mouth. and is
believed to have been used as a
bottle.
That Is only one example of the
glass work of the ancient Egyptians.
Another is a glass hippopotamus
The hippo's body is marked with the
outlines of water plants such as grow
in the Nile River. A water-lily which
the beast is eating is also shown.
Lime is found as an impure" part
of sands around the Nile Valley.
Since lime is important in making
glass, the impure sand helps explain
why glass was made there IN early
times.
The third important thing for
glass making is soda-just plain
soda of the kind used for baking.
Soda of this kind was known to the
people of ancient times.
Glass jars, vases and SO on were
made by the Greeks and Romans.
They used coloring matter to stain
the glass. Clear, transparent glass
does not seem to have been made
until about the year $50.
Early settlers in North America
sometimes used oiled paper as WIN
dow panes. People in Europe at
that time knew how to make glass
panes, but glass was expensive, and
was used only by the rich.
The oil-paper windows OF the
pioneers kept out some of the chill
air during winter, and let in some
of the sunlight, but they did not do
either as we'll as glass.

This was something the delegates

Now, as in ancient times, glass
is made chiefly from melted sand,
Soda and lime are mixed with the
sand and placed in tanks which
may hold as much as $50 tons.
When the mixture is heated to
5000 degrees fahrenheit, the result
is a liquid with hardly more color
than clear water.
When the liquid cools to a certain
point, it may be dipped for glass
making. 1t is then very much like
a thick, sticky syrup.
Glass-blowers are interesting
persons to watch. At the end OF
metal pipes, they pick up small
masses of the liquid glass. Before

into all sorts of shapes until at last
it becomes a pitcher or a water

A large glass bubble appears, but
