Making Them of Glass
Is Dot Davis' Heritage
BY JULIA BLANSHARD i
NEA Service Writer
NEW YORK Sent 2fi. Dorothy j
Davis inherited her glass eye
business.
She is, so far as is known, the
only woman in the United State
who makes artificial optics. Her
father made them before her. His
father before biiu.
Ou General Sherman's famous
march "from Atlanta to the sea," i
he wore a" glass eye made by Miss
Davis' grandfather, she claims. , 1
Her First Recollection
"My first recollection of life Is
standing on a big, red plush chair
watching my father blow color Into
eyes," Miss Davis said. "He talked
to me all the time, explaining ev
erything he did. It meant nothing
'to me then. But I realize now, that
when I am in a tight place; what
1 lo is exactly what my father told
me he did, years and years ago,
when I was a little girl wntching
him work."
Miss Davis does her work In a
sunny room in the old family
home, where all the Davises have
been born and have died for three
generations. A young woman, In
her middle twenties, she has run
the business alone for 10 years.
"The first eye I myself made
was the result of desperution," she
says. "My father suffered a stroke
after losing all his money in the
first year of the war. Unable to
work, he lay fretting because he
had to disappoint good clients, .
Now She Started
"I went into the workshop, lock
ed the door and started in. 1 slav

though now I never work more
than an hour or two at a time be

Heavy Timber Loss
By Eradication of
WASHINGTON". Oct. 13. Forty
five million dollars a year could
be saved in timber in the United
Stntes by correct, methods In
fighting grubs and wood-boring
beetles, entomologists say.
The direct moi y loss to lumber
and cut timber, t -Suiting from de
fects caused by insects. Is enor
mous In aggregate.' , It Is greater
proportionately, authorities de
clare, than the loss to live trees.
In lumber, the. defects not only
make large supplies unfit for use,
but reduce all affected material to
lower grades.
Thomas E. Snyder, forest lnnect
investigations, places the princi
pal types of Insect attacks in thrpo
definite groups, pinholes, grub
holes, and powder post.
The first appear as round, usual
ly open, holes ranging from one
one-hundredth to one-fourth of nn
inch In diameter, made either by
ambrosia beetles or timber worms.
Pinholes made bv, the beetles are
of two types, those caused by
adult beetles boring Into the
trunks of growing trees to lay
eges and rear young, or by larvae
which also may burrow Into the
wood, and those caused by adult
beetles or larvae In frephly Mled
logs or bolts, and in green or part
ly seasoned timber.
fi nib holes, or th lanrer worm
holes, are oval, circular, or Irregu

by adult Insects boring Into or lay

Can Be Avoided
Beetles and Grubs
lay eggs and ' rear young. The
young or larvae cause most of
the damage to he wood, which
serves both as food and shUer.
Powder Post is that class of de
fect In which the larvae of Insects
reduce the wood fibres of sea
soned, or partly seasoned, wood to
a powderlike condition. The dam
age occurs In the seasoned or
partly sasoned sapwood or heart
wood or both hardwoods and soft
woods. Logs, bolts, timber, lum
ber, and rrirle or finished pro
ducts are attacked. Infented wood
always is filled, more or lens, with
fine or coarse powdery or granu
lated boring dust and Is railed
"powder posted." This type of In
jury Is unusually dangerous since
the grubs continue' their destruc
tive -work In the wood nnd also
Infest other timber nearby.
Methods to adopt in reducing
the loss from powder post depend
on whlr'i of four or five different
species of insert does the damage.
In some cases finished wood pro
ducts ran be treated successfully
with paraffin wax. varnish or
other filler which will r-tose the
pores and prevent egg-laying.

'My Buccess is-j-eally my father's

"My father not only taught me

meticulously fine process of draw

intricacies of his skilled knowledge
but he and grandfather left mo a
Btore of materials that will lust it
life-time."
Miss Davis, however, cannot
disclaim all her flair for making

the only one who can mako them.
She has tried to teach her hus

ever, and lacks the patience need
