uly Of the country. will resume opera
tions the latter uart OF July. At this
plant the government IL endeavorinE
to obtain greater efficiency from the
Goals OF the Rock Mountain fields by
washing and coking them. Many Of the
Goals OF the west contain such guam
titles OF impurities-ash and sulphur
that they are not Of much value for
commercial use. It has been the GOV
ernment's purpose to wash the impuri-
ties out Of these Goals 30 that they
can be utilized. The success already OBJ
tanned warrants a continuation OF this
work. During the last fiscal year.
ninety tests OF Goals were made at the
Denver plant. resulting In many OF
them being decidedly improved.

at the Denver plant, all but three pro-
duced good coke though a number OF
them were considered as non-coking.
The Importance OF this is seen when
the immensity of the smelling busi-
ness OF the west Is realized and the
therefore enormous demand for good
coke Several OF these Goals without
washing have failed to make coke fit
for metallurgical purposes owing to
the large amount Of sulphur In them.
Other Goals would not even make
steam without the washing process.
1t is likely that the final results OF
these tests will add millions OF dol
lars to the fuel values OF the west. 1t
has already been shown that number
OF Goals that In the past have not been
mined because OF their impurities. can
now be proftably utilized. This will
exteLd the life of the fuel supply and
make possible vast Industrial enter
prises in the west that would not To-
cate there had the government not
taken this step.
The lack OF knowledge OF the ma
ture OF the Goals OF the west has been
its chief handicap to commercial de-
velopment With the finest supply OF
bituminous and anthracite coal In the
world located in thu eastern part OF
the country, 1t has been felt that the
west, In some instances could not
compete In manufacturing. The re-
suits shown by the government have
done much to dispel this idea and the
west has been going forward at q
rapid rate. still further Developments

CEMENT LAUNDRY TRAYS

The opening years Of the twentieth
century are witnessing so widespread an
adaptation of cement to the varied needs
of modern civilization as to fill the mind
with wonder where it's utility will reach
it's limit. One turns instinctively to the
wonders of ancient Rome whose build
ers applied cement in the construction
of so many structures that have en-
dured through the ages.
Modern builders have reinforced
cement work with varied applications
of modern steel and are constructing
edifces that bid defiance to the tooth
of time But the use of cement is not
confined to these more pretentious
structures. 1t reaches into the daily
life of the common people, supplying
them with many things of daily and
lasting convenience. Among these we
may mention laundry trays that do not
