GLASS INDUSTRY IS WRECKED
Germany Has Experienced Terrible
Blow From the War and Business
Is Woefully Crippled.
Prior to the war the Germai ’ass
industry was an export industry. In
the year 1913 glassware valued at
more than 146.000,000 marks ($34,
748,000) was sold in foreign mar
kets. Since the outbreak of the war,
however, the glass industry has been
w rking under difficulties and its
very existence is threatened, com
ments the Bremer Buerger-Zeitung,
Bremen. In the first months of the
war, owing to the stoppage of ex
ports, a majority of the glassworkers
were thrown out of work.
When the industry gradually re
covered, thanks to the increasing de
mand o£ the military authorities and
the preserved-food industries, a new
menace appeared, as large numbers
of the workers were drafted into the
army. Several glassworkers are, as
a rule, working jointly on a piece of
glassware, and if but one member of
the group is taken away it becomes
difficult to form a new group.
Then the supplies of soda were
commandeered; fortunately, how
ever, substitute materials were -found
which enabled the factories to con
tinue their operations. The com
mandeering of straw and the lack of
freight cars has interfered with ship
ments, and now the glass industry,
always a large consumer of coal, has
had its supply of fuel reduced to less
than one-half. Thus, for example,
the bottle factories are to receive
only 15,000 tons of coal, instead of
37,000, which they had been receiv
ing heretofore. In order to save coal
the factories are expected to consoli
date ; but as there are hardly any
places with more than one factory,
consolidation means a change of resi
dence for the workers.

VICTIMIZED.
A group of Western politicians
were swapping reminiscences of
their experiences in other parts,
when one said:
“I was once the victim of a lynch
ing party/’
“You don’t say so!” exclaimed
several, scenting a thrilling yarn.
“IIow did it happen?”
“Why, I married the widow of a
man who w~a0 strung up for horse
stealing.”—Everybody’s Magazine.
AS PRUSSIANS OBEY ORDERS
Serqeant Killed a Soldier, According to
Story, to Have Enough Eggs to
Supply Each Man With One.
At a cafe in New York which is
much frequented by actors they were
talking of German methods as ex
emplified in this war. Jack Hazard
felt moved to tell the following story,
according to the Saturday Evening
Post:
“Only the other day I heard a
very interesting case, which illus
trates how careful those fellows are
about obeying orders,” stated Haz
ard. “It seems that during the in
vasion of Belgium a captain in a
Prussian regiment got hold of a hun
dred fresh eggs somewhere; and,
wishing to give his faithful soldiers
a treat—there were just exactly 100
men in his company as it happened
—he turned the eggs over to the top
sergeant and told him to see that
every man in the command had an
egg for breakfast next morning.
“But the company cook smashed
one of the eggs, and next morning
there were only 99 eggs to be dis
tributed among 100 hungry soldiers.
The sergeant was puzzled at first. He
knew he had to obey orders, and be
ing a true German, he meant to do
so.
“For a while he didn’t know just
how to distribute those eggs. Final
ly he had a wonderful inspiration—
a typical Prussian inspiration. It
worked all right too.”
Here Hazard paused.
“Well, what did the sergeant do?’'
demanded one of the company.
“Killed one of the soldiers,” said
Hazard.
OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
“What’s the matter with Charley
Dnbson ?”
“He says he is suffering from
brain fag.”
“That’s singular.”
“Why?”
“He and his tailor decided on
Charley’s wardrobe for the winter
long ago. I’ve never known him to
concentrate his mind on anything
else.”
A MEAN ESTIMATE.
“Why don’t you call your dog
Tonic?”
“Why should I give him such a
name as that?”
“Because the best part of him is
whine with a sharp infusion of
bark.”

Governor Bilbo said at a dinner in

“The man who succeeds easiest is
the one who works on the queer, the
funny, in human nature.
“Like the chap who turned up at
Palm Poach with a new 12-cylinder
