Storm Without Warning.

The suddenness with which the stOrln

opportunity to have their horses sharp
shod.
The easterly wind kept the snow on the
move after it had fallen, and the west
side of the avenues got the greater part
of the precipitation.
The trolley lines were carly annoyed
by the drifts. and the sweepers were sent
buzzing over the tracks before the snow
had chance to pile up too thickly on
the rails.
According to the officials OF the New

hour last night was having very littls

CEMENT IN BUILDING.
Easy Access Has Made Its Use Popu-
lar in This City.

Detroit builders consider themselves
fortunate in having easy access to all
the cement they need for building
purposes. In and about the city
there are big plants, turning out thou
sands OF tons of cement every year.
An unlimited quantity of sand and
gravel is also available at these places
at all times.
Much of the material used in the
manufacture OF cement comes from
pits within short distance OF De-
troit. and the proximity OF the gravel
and sand beds to Detroit, the dealers
say, has something 10 do with keep
ing the price OF cement and its in
gradients at a reasonable price. The
fact that there are large cement yards
in Detroit also enters into the regula-
ton OF the cost OF the article. Were
il necessary for Detroit builders TO
import their cement and other build
ing essentials. the cost of building
would be much heavier here than IT
now Is, the cement dealers argue.
For the remarkable growth of De-
troit in the past few years, the ce.
ment dealers claim some credit. They
declare that, but for the capacity OF
their cement plants and yards. the
builders OF the city never could have
kept up with the demands for new
factory accommodations In the build
ing OF most of the automobile fac
tories. cement was extensively used.
and the manufacturers of this COM
modify point out that II was their abil.
ity TO meet the demand for cement
that allowed the city to expand as 1t
did. They also intimate that they
have an inxehaustible supply OF sand
and gravel and will be able TO meet
the demand for cement. no matter
how great 1t may be, for many years
to come.

There has been no large destruction
Of property by fire in Michigan within

also to the cooperation OF the fire In.

the fire insurance companies In the
prevention OF fires Is a part OF the
activities OF these companies that Ia
frequently overlooked by the general
public.
The lire insurance business In De

favorably with the methods OF con

the reason for this is to be found In
