Ancient Concrete.

That the Romans were very familiar with concrete and gave consideration to its use examination of the concrete work in the forum clearly shows. Their concrete contained generally only two kinds of stone, travertine and selcie. in equal parts. Selcie is hard, closely knit rock, very similar to our bluestone or trap rock in color as well as quality. Travertine is a volcanic rock not so hard as selcie, considerably lighter in color, and was desirable on account of its porosity. which insured a good bond with the cement. In all the Roman work the combination of the trayertine and the selcie is clearly guishable.-Cement Age.

HARVARD YELLING VICTORY BEFORE
 THE BIG GAME
Special from United Press)

Boston, Nov. 17-Fair Harvard, to- day, saw only victory ahead for their annual football contest with Yale. The sons of John Harvard are ready with the greatest aggregation of songs, cheers yells and other modes of sup porting a team they ever took to a football field and by Saturday morn ing there will not be a crimson fol- lower in his lair if he possibly can scrape together the necessary cash to go to New Haven. They will not be slow to offer good odds on their team because they know Harvard has one of the greatest teams that ever de- tended the crimson.
 After the farewell to the team, the undergraduates, last night, filled the Harvard Union and rehearsed their cheers and songs, later serenading President Lowell's home. Several spe- cial trains VII take the Harvard men and their friends to New Haven, Fri day night and Saturday. Owing to the lack of accommodations in New Haven, many of them are planning to wait until Saturday morning, early.

AFRAID HE WILL LOSE HIS
JOB

to vote for Mr.. Stuart, but is afraid
if he does he will lose his job. He
asks our advice, what he shall do
under the circumstances. We advise
him, as we do under all such cir
cumstances, to do what he believes
20 be the right thing. No one man
should aIrogate TO himself the right
to control another mans conscience,
whether in politics, religion or even
morals The Clinch Valley News tries
TO give information, and even VEN
lures sometimes TO give positive
opinions on political questions, but
as to deciding for its readers how
they shall vote, this they must do
for themselves. A man should vote
as his conscience, enlightened and
well informed, dictates and teaches.
No man can afford TO sacrifice him
self Tor any political party or candi-
date. So, we say to our friend, and
TO all other voters in like situation,
vote as you pray" rs your con-
science and sense OF duty dictates
Don't be bought like an animal i'm

then 10 do right is the ruling ambi-
ton OF every man who properly APP
preciates himself and his duty to his

we would be pleased 10 have our
friends everywhere do the same, but
whether they do SO or not they them
