CLEVELAND, February 27.— Streets with houses that look like bright col- ored tea sets are some of the things the American Ceramic Society has in store for the American public. Your lavender house may have to fight the orange and yellow combina- tions, for it was revealed at the con- vention and exposition of the society here yesterday that glazed building bricks are being given chinaware colors. Bricks also are being made porous and light to keep homes warm and noise proof, H. E. Nold, secretary of the society, said. To screen out impure iron sub- stances, which discolor some of the clays, and to make some of the firler | ceramic ware, screens have been pn-1 duced so fine that they hold water, C. T. Ingham of Cleveland told the convention. “The fine screens, made of bronze, have 40 holes to the square inch, and | “The | wire finer than hairs,” he said. same screens that won't let water through will pass 83 per cent of a ce- ment mixture. “The screens can be used to tell how fine your pottery clay is. We can measure particles as fine as seven- | | teen ten thousandths of an inch.” | |MEN OPERATING WITHOUT LICENSES ARE WARNED West Virginia Coal Agents Object of Police Round-up in Winchester. | Special Dispatch to The Star WINCHESTER, Va.
