AND PITTSBURGH NEWS

A MEETING of the glass section of the American Ceramic Society was held at the Bureau of Mines here the evening of May 16, at which time E. H. Hughes of the H. C. Fry Glass Co. of Rochester, told over 100 members the interesting story of the development of heat resisting glass. Mr. Hughes exhibited several samples of cooking ware, and declared that the manufacturing of glass cooking ware had now reached the state of decoration. The samples exhibited possessed a cut flower design. It was also explained that the development of this character of glass has reached that high stage of efficiency which precludes the introduction of alkaline impurities into the food or liquid content. At this meeting it was proposed to hold a gathering in East Liverpool at a not distant date, either at the rooms of the Potters Club or at the East Liverpool Country Club, where members of the generalware section could attend, and where the discussions would refer to the advancement of technical work in the generalware pottery industry.
