Preferred for Everything from Perfume to Jam. Do you ever think, when you open your modern Steinie bottle of beer or vacuum-packed jar of coffee, that the glass from which those bottles are made, and which provides today the best protection for perishables that modern science can devise, was first created so many thousands of years •go that no record of its discovery ex ists in history? Pliny has sard it was discovered by • band of Tyrian mariners who, in cooking their food on some Mediter ranean shore, used lumps of natron — ballast from their ship—to prop their Jcettles over the fire, and the fire, fusing seashore sand and sodium-salt (natron) together, left in its cooling embers man's first glass. In any event It was discovered thousands of years before the Christian era. Pictures found in Egyptian tombs show men in the actual operation of blowing glass centuries before the time of Christ. It is a fascinating thought, then, that modern industry has been unable to produce any substitutes which will provide the same perfect protection for perishable products as glass. Just •s interesting is the fact that glass containers have not been outmoded by the passage of time. Remaining in the forefront of progress, they have regu larly adopted developments which have kept them as new as the automo bile of tomorrow. Glass still makes the best containers for foods, cosmetics and other products where purity is of prime importance, because It is non reactive and can be made completely sterile. Improvements In sealing and design keep container* of glass tuned to today's needs and irresistible to the aye. The improvements which have en *bled glass containers to "keep their Igures" throughout the years are tountless.

The original contents consumed, these containers become rolling pins, ash trays, vases and other useful objects. Dressed-up design has also helped to keep glass bottles young. Glass has always represented the finest in table ware, and jars of jam, peanut butter, beans, pickles, spices, sauces and other foods are so handsome in their mod ern forms that housewives serve them right at the table—saving work and protecting the contents. Another glass bottle development, vacuum packing, has brought new freshness and tastiness to coffee, tomato juice and other foods.

Cleopatra Cherished Her Cosmetic Jars Os Sparkling Glass Like Precious Gems * * * * By Mrs. Penrose T.tly «< r T'WENTY years ago, 40 was a moun -1 tain in a woman’s path to happi ness,” says Helena Rubinstein. “Today, no woman of intelligence will accept such tragic nonsense.” Mine. Rubinstein, herself well past that Mountain of Forty, remains agile, strong, thoroughly active from morning to night. She has two grown sons, is engaged in an international business, yet never seems to tire. “I take care of myself, maybe that is why age does not creep up and ruin my happiness,” she explains. “Science and intelligence can banish the fear of 40. But you would be shocked to know how many women have not the slightest con ception of how’ to prolong their youthful appearance. “Too many get stmk in a rut, fail to realize that tomorrow may be as lovely as days in the past. Middle age can be defeated by wise routines, common sense and the refusal to let that imaginary mountain shut off the wav toward normal happiness ” ytrliErtE does age first show? "About W the eyes,” she says. Take a glance at your own eyes in that unflattering mirror. Has the skin in that area become lined, has it lost its youthful elasticity? Better take a few steps for ward if your eyes begin to register a loss of youth. Here are some hints from “This Way to Beauty," Mme. Rubinstein's latest book on good looks (Dodge— s 2.) Quite prac tical and without magic. “Cleanse face well with cleansing cream or washing preparation, applying with upward, outward movements. Remove with tissue. Then bathe eyes with a boric acid solution, using eye cup or drop per. Follow with a special eye cream, applying it with the second and third sings rs. “Look upward and fingerprint the cream beneath the eyes and at the tem ples, urging it into the skin with a gentle patting and pressing movement. Leave on as long as convenient. "Saturate crescent-shaped cotton pads with an anti-wrinkle lotion and place under eyes for 5 to 10 minutes. Then place pads moistened in lotion over the eyes and leave on 5 to 10 minutes. Before going out of the house, apply an eye tissue oil on the eyelids to give them a youthful gleam ’ . * * «> FOR WOMEN past 30 who still believe in the possibility of keeping their looks, “This Way to Beauty” contains these diet rules: Concentrate on fruit for breakfast. Luncheon time is salad time. Eat the salad before tne meat course at dinner. Then you are sure of getting the right food values. Avoid bread and potatoes except occasionally. Eat young meats —lamb, broiled chicken, duckling, veal. # Cleopatra’s lovely eyes would open wide at the modern abundance of those precious glass containers which she prized so highly. There is not a housewife today whose burden is not lightened by a variety of bottles and jars which far surpass in quality those early glass containers which were the exclusive possession of empresses and queens.
