GLASS THAT
CAN BE BENT
New Invention Declared to be Suitae
able for a Number of Useful In
dustrial Purposes
A new substitute for glass or for
lacquer has been invented. It can be
cut with shears or with a knife and,
When heated to more than 100 degrees
Centigrade, it forms a kneadable mass
which resumes its previous hard state
on cooling. It is known -as "cellon."
Under the patents of Dr. Eichelgrum
form of a solid or liquid solution of
a company is making cellon in the
acetyl cellulose in camphor, either
white or colored, transparent or
opaque. It appears in slabs, or tube
form, as well as in the form of a plas
tic mass, as putty to be used for lag

ging purposes or as an anti-rust liquid.
The hard vitreous cellon is bendable
and springy and insensititf to cold
water, soap, fat, alcohol or petrol.
When burnt in a flame-it drops off like
shellac, without, however, being as
combustible as the latter. Cellon var
nish, which can be allowed to harden
or solidify into flexible layers, is suit
able for many industrial purposes.
Liquid cellon can be used for impreg
nating textiles or for making insulat
ing tape. In this latter form it can be
taken from the round box in which it
is wound up, even in themoist condi
tion, and allowed to harden in air.

GIRL ENDS LIFE AFTER
PLAYING PHONOGRAPH
St. Louis.-Miss Erma L. Reed,
eighteen years old, of Peoria, Ill., a!
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Reed
of Milan, Mo., ended her life by drink
ing poison at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Harry Dee, 5172 Kensington ave
nue, where she had been visiting for a
week.
I Mrs. Dee told the police that her
sister had been playing the phono
graph in the living room with her
young nephew, and about 8:30 retired I
to her room. Shortly afterward Mrs.
Dee heard moans, and going to the
room, found the girl lying on the bed.
A physician was called, but the girl
died within ten milutes. Neither Mrs.
Dee nor a sister in Peoria was able
to offer an explanation, both stating
that the girl had been in good spirits.
Varieties of Potatoes
One potato may be big enough to
provide a meal for a good-sized fam
ily. People in Virginia like them that
way. In northern markets however,
the demand is for potatoes of a mod
est sizej In Europe potatoes are
grown df different kinds for different
purposes. Certain varieties are raised
for cooking and others for starch
making and distilling. Over there
they have a so-called "stock potato"
which is not used for human~ food at
all. ft is very large and coarse of tex
ture. The yield to the acre is twice
the ordinary, and the tubers, being ex
ceedingly rich in starch, are great al
cohol producers.
Man Woos Like a Lion
Willesden, Eng.-It was the plaint
of an'attractive young widow in court
that she was being annoyed by a
married man of between fifty and six
Sty. "I don't want him, because I have
heard that he has a wife and sev
eral children," she said. "He lies in
wait for me, and when I go home in
the dark he springs out from door
ways like a lion. I can never goihome
but what he pounces out of my door
way and protests his love for me."

THIEF HAD LOOT
WORTH $500,000
KEPT CARD INDEX OF VICTIMI
AND TOOK NOTHING BUT
THE VERY BEST
Chicago.-Seven hundred robberies
whose loot is believed to total more
than $500,000, were cleared up when
police examined the effects of Harry
J. James, "Silk Mask Burglar," who
was killed after -"shooting up" the
Town hall police station, wounding
two patrolmen. James' real name was
James J. Harrigan, and his home was
Philadelphia.
In James' private warehouse, where
rugs, jewels, typewriters, adding ma
chines and dozens of other articles
truckloads of art works, oriental rugs,
were found, police uncovered a card
index in which the 700 robberies were
listed, with the loot obtained.
Another section of the carl file list
ed "prospects" and the wealth of data
about each indicated that James had
used an electric light inspector's card
found in his pocket, to gain entry to
the houses.
A third file listed "gold coast" au
tomobiles, with description, license
number, owner's name and "fair,"
"good" or "swell" to indicate the val
uation.
Police also found ledgers listing loot
sold, with the price obtained, and a
list of pawn brokers, with the type
of goods each preferred to buy.
In a secret chamber in the basement
were 150 oriental rugs appraised by
an expert at $40,000.
When James was killed he was
found to be wearing a suit belonging
to former United States Senator Wil
liam Lormier of Illinois. The 1uit was
one of 40 stolen fromi a tailor shop.

Resourceful Traveler
Ole the Bear (A. R. Westerberg),
mail carrier between Revelstoke, Brit
ish Columbia and Downie Creek, 45
miles up the Big Bend, succeeded in
acomplishing a feat that establishes
a new record in this district. The
great depth of snow up the Big Bend
together with the heavy crust caused
by raining and freezihg, made it prac
tically impossible for a horse to travel
the roads, but Ole conceived the idea
of making snowshoes for his horse,
which he did out of birch, construct
ing them circular in shape and more
than a foot across. For protection he
covered the horse's legs with blank
ets, and thus he succeeded in making
Revelstoke in three days without
harm to himself or horse.-Seattle
