Tw’o and a half years after his death the letters still come in by the hundreds. Twentieth Century-Fox may comply and reissue “Handy Andy”, "Judge Priest" and "County Chairman”. Freddie Bartholomew was 14 years old the other day and they gave him a party on the “Lord Jeff” set What he liked most, though, was the fact that his Aunt Cissy let him do over his den and set up book cases of his own manufacture.

"Early American Glass” in a cap-' I able and Interesting manner “Glase has developed gradually | from a small beginning, both In' 1 technique of manufacture and In variation of Its uses. i "The general types of glass are as follows; a sand-soad-llm com--1 bination for chemical ware and window glass; a sand-potaah-llme combination for fine table ware; and a sand-potash-led combination for cut ■ glass and optical glass. Rock crys- . tai In quartz whidi has nardened i ' through the years and has formed layer upon layer of hard stone. In 1608, England sent Du’ch and i Polish glass-makers to this country ; to teach the colonists their art and skill. The three best known makers of glass were Wistar, Stiegd and 1 , the Boston Sandwich glass comI pany. "Wistar made many bowls and bottles and his choicest pieces are dark amber glass with a lily-pad design, Stiegel blue covers a number of tints but the design is usually ’ i floral. Color was oue of the specialties of the third glass company and ’ a collection of Sandwich giaas is ' particularly lovely.” Mrs. Cowens displayed various i examples of early American glass . 1 which illustrated periods and types ] of manufacture.
