Atlanta, where It Is held until the traders gather In April Then they have a mass funeral The last week of April Is more than a week of mourning. It is also seven days of mar riages and engagements, busi ness deals, reunion and song. The first of May the horse traders from Erin separate again to roam over the country, trading horses and mules. NEWTYPEGLASS Irish Horse Traders Claim We Can Ride Mule to Work Bellalre, Ohio (U.R A hundred horse-trading sons o' Erin are here today, but they may be somewhere else tomorrow. America's last roaming clan Is busy since the nation's ration boards decided the automobile was not here to stay. These descendants of Irish horse traders who migrated to the United States before Bull Run never have agreed that the automobile is as good as a strong mule. "Jest look at what you can do with a mule," said Pat O'Day. "You can hitch im up and tell 1m what you want done and begorra, he'll do it But you shure can't do that with one of these danged cars. They're that , stubborn, they'll act up every tune," he said. The horse traders show how they feel about the automobile by traveling In 25-year-old Ja lopies and then only wnen a mule can i carry me ioaa. Camp In Tent-City They are not at all worried about the tire and gasoline shortage. "This here tire situation Is all the bunk." said Mike McTigue. "Why, all the government's got to do is let us ship in about ten million sturdy mules and let the fellers hitch up arid ride straddle to work," he said. The whole clan is here now the O'Neils, Finnegans, McGln nesses, O Riley, O'Roarks and Milligans camped in a tent City. They are not gypsies. They re horse traders. They buy their stock in the fall at the big horse and mule auctions in .Atlanta, Ga. Then they split up into small groups and start on their circuits over the nation. Judge Mules Quickly They have made their living by smart horse and mule trad ing for nearly a century. Every one of the 4,000 of them in this country can tell a good mule from a slacker with one squint. The traders are one great family, all related by blood or marriage. What one of them has, the rest of them share Not one ever has been on relief, they boast. The original families came over shortly before the Civil wur from Ireland. Where they had been horsa traders, follow ing the country fairs. They set tled in Washington for a while at first, but city life irked them and they took the highroad south in covered wagons led by a salty Irishman named Pat O'Hara. Atlanta looked like good place to trade horses, so they made It the center of their wanderings. Other groups broke off and one made its headquar ters In Nashville. Another went to Tort Worth. The traders live in roomy tents divided into compart ments, carpeted with fresh yel low straw. They sleep in four poster mahogany beds with the finest of mattresses. Funerals Held In Atlanta They do not eat on tin plates, but on fragile Haviland china. The Irish horse trader likes color in his tent. Brilliant col ors are splashed everywhere a blood-red chair cover, emerald green cushions, and bedspreads of all hues. On the center pole in every tent there is a crucifix. When a trader dies, his body is shipped to Peachtree street In Pittsburgh (U.B A new type of glass that floats like cork and can be used in life rafts, pre servers, . lifeboats, pontoon bridges and for Insulation pur poses has been developed by a Pittsburgh glass concern. The new product Is called "Foamglass" and has been de veloped by the Pittsburgh Corn ing Corp. Production has been started in a newly-constructed factory in western Pennsyl vania, company officials an nounced. Fosscsslng a cellular struc ture that gives It buoyance, the new glass has a weight of only 10 pounds per cubic foot one fifteenth the weight of ordinary glass. Its closed-cell construc tion is proof against absorbing water and permits it to float Indefinitely. A company announcement said that government agencies are Investigating the possibility of using the glass as a substi tute for cork, balsa wood, kapok and cellular rubber. The material is produced by firing ordinary glass which has been mixed with a small quan tity of pure, carbon. It can be drilled with ordinary tools. . RATIONING FORCES RANGERS TO CITY Portland, Ore. flJ.P.) Forest rangers aren't known as "those government hermits" any more since sugar rationing came into effect. , , Times were when -a ranger would disappear irom city life with his mules and summer food supplies for practically six months never to be seen by a soul until the fall rains brought him back to civilization. Today the sugar rationing system has entirely revolution' lzed a ranger's secluded moun tain existence. Instead of taking his usual summer supplies in one trip and then hiding him self away for the .duration of forest-fire danger the forest guard now has to. plan. a. trip .to the flatlands once every two or mree weeKs lor the valuable "sweet coupons."
