the interior ask for * the scraps of
green bottle glass. In Canton alone
more than 100 tons a month are
brought from the importers; not to
mention the broken glass sold by
hawkers. All of which only goes to

only realize how idiotic useless toot-
ing sounds and looks, the annoyance
it is to other persons, the guilty ones
surely would cut it out. It is idiotic
for people of mature age.
