LIONS ENTERTAINED BY GLASS BLOWERS Demonstrators Show How Their Products Are Made Members of the Lions’ club ex- perienced something new in civic club entertainments today when they were entertained by professional glass blowers. The demonstration was given by former Mayor I. Burke of Brogkton, Mass., and H. R. Cross of the same city. They gave exhibitions of glass! blowing in wany phases, one of the | most interesting being the makin, & Venetian vase from an ordinary | glass tube, including the attaching ot a colored glass handle. How the glass is silvered such as in making mirrors, the making in one minute of a magnifying gl from a hollow ball of glass blown from a tube and filled 'with water, making of Christmas tree ornaments, a glass steam engine which oper- ates when heated and many other phases of glass work were shown. One interesting demenstration was the spinning of glass in a thread so fine it could not be seen. The glass w it took miles of it Jefore th seemed to be any quantity. Glas: floss was made so fine that it take: a sugar barrel full to weigh' a pound. Mr. Burke, who managed the demonstration, staged a glass blow- ing contest between Americanization Director James E. O'Brien and Ernest R. Dechant, a newspaperman, for a glass bird. The contest was a tie and each man was awarded the prize. Another glass blowing contest be- tween former Mayor George A. Quigley, president of the club, and Attorney William Curtin was award ed to Mr. Quigley. Both contests were in the nature of comedy stunts. The glass blowers, who will be in the city for the rest of this week, will give a demonstration at the Central Junior High school this afternoon at 4:15 o'clock. Next Tuesday the club will hold 1ts annual Christmas party. Believe Huge Drug Ring Broken Up Providence, R. I, Dec. 11 (A—A huge drug ring operating here for the past several weeks was believed broken up when federal and state rarcotic agents seized nearly $20,000 worth of smoking opium in two raids at Chinese laundries in the south end of the city. Two Chinese were arrested and held for arraignment before a United States commissio! on a charge of violation of the Har- rison narcotic act. Federal Agent Edward F. McLean in charge of the raiders, said the drug was shipped here from both New York and Bos- ton and for the past six weeks the government men have been attempt- ing to locate the “cache” in this city. In addition to the drugs the agents found complete smoking sets in the rear of one of the laundries used as a smoking den where addicts congregated nightly.

He pointed out that the factories would benefit by iit, Mr. Buckey suggested that if city officials turn the matter down again it be carried directly to the voters. Mr. Bannan favored a public sub- scription if the city fails to act. All agreed that now is the time to agi- tate the project. “What a lot of trouble we would have been saved, if a few years ago we had been able to look far enough ahead to provide a municipal park- ing place for automobiles,” said Mr. Bannan. Mr. Benson was instructed to pass the recommendations on a drive for new industries and for a municipal airport to the chamber directors with the suggestion that there be immediate action. *If they won't take the initiative we can get behind and shove them,” sald Mr. Robb.
