Machine for Building Cement Walks,
One of the latest labor-saYing de
vices is a machine that Laws and
finishes cement sidewalks with re-
markable rapidity. 1t consists of 2
travelling mold and a winch for phil
ing the mold ahead TIE concrete for
the base of the sidewalk is shoveled
or dumped into the front part of the
mold, and the finishing mortar Is
shovelled or dumped into the homer
at the middle of the mold. This hon.
per is so designed that it feeds a thin
layer of mortar on to the conc-ata
base as the mold travels forward
Thus a complete aud perfect Sidewalk
is delivered at the rear end of the
machine. No skilled finishers are 20
quired No labor is needed to bui1d
forms. No men are needed to tram,
the concrete. In brief, says Cement
Age, New York, the process is simnIv
one of mixing the ingredients and de-.
posting them into the proper part of
the travelling mold. The mold doas
the rest. With properly organized
gang. the mold is kept travelling con.
tinuously al the rate of two feet Der
minute. The shape of the mold is
such that the concrete is squeezed
both laterally and vertically into
dense block, which, as above stated.
requires no -ramming Perhaps the
most remarkable feature of the mold
is the perfect finish that it gives 70
the sidewalk The walk looks as if it
had been finished with floats.

they had put up the bars against all

of q Senator by legislative districts in
stead of by the total vote OF the state
Long was sure he would carry nearly
all of the small counties IN the western
half of the State. which compose a ma
jority OF the districts. but Bristow has
carried the majority OF these, as well as
many Of the big districts in the east.
There are I65 legislative districts, and
