Bethel A. M. E. Church, in West
Twenty fifth street, between
Seventh and Eighth avenues, was
filled with members of the race
last Sunday afternoon who were
present to pledge their faith in the
leadership of DR.. BookerT WASH
ington and to express publicly
their unbounded confidence in his
integrity as leader. The meet
ing was characterized by the sane
and temperate remarks OF the
speakers.
Almost every speaker expressed
the opinion that the brutal attack
made on Booker Washington had
done more to bring the race to-
gether than any other incident In
many years; that Negroes OF the
North, East, South and West, ir-
respective of religious belief, poll
tical affiliations on educational
matters. etc., had shown their
great loyalty for the race by for.
getting all difference and present
ing a solid phalanx in extending
their sympathy to the nation s
leading Negro, and one of its most
prominent citizens.
President Taft came in for a
great deal of praise, and the popu-
larity of the Chief Executive has
grown to larger proportions since
he wrote DIR. Washington the let
ter last week paying him such a
high tribute.
Resolutions deploring the as
sault on the races leader and
promising to stand by him were
adopted by standing vote.
The resolutions:
Whereas, DIR. Booker T. WASH
ipgton, the beloved leader, and in
spired teacher of the race, an
American philanthropist and ed
ucator, whose sympathies and SER
vices are recognized worldwide,
has met with painful and unfor-
tunate incident in our city,
Resolved, First, that the colored
citizens of New York are deeply
gateful for the public sentiment OF
the community as expressed by
the press and leading citizens IN
condemnation and regret that so
good and useful citizen should
have been the victim of an assault
upon his person and reputation.
Second, We appreciate the
thousands of messages OF sympa-
thy and confidence which have
come to DR.. Washington from all
Darts of our country, from white
and colored people alike, North

Most of the old fl1Sstoue quarries have long since been abandoned and a majority of the cut stone quarries have either been given mp or turned into the manufacture of crushed stone for roads and concrete work. Cement walks are cheaper and better than flag ging. and concrete has taken the place of masonry. IL is cheaper to handle crushed stones and cement than it is t0 handle blocks and slabs of stone. With concrete a new aDutment for a bridge can be poured and moulded into shape in q day where it used t0 take q gang of skilled mIsOns month t0 build it. Dwelling houses, apartments. offices and great factory buildings are now made from reinforced concrete.

TIE STORY OF CEMENT

History does not tell who laid these stones and how the first mason discovered the ! secret of his mortar. Visit the ruined cities of the AZtecs in Central Ameri-

 have the property of cohering until the | product finally becomes as hard as
 stone The lime is usually secured by | burning limestone, the silica and
 alumina are natural products of clay. There are three distinct kinds of ce- | ment, of which the Portland is the best ! known; so called because 1t happens to
 resemble a certain kind of gray rock on the Island of Portland. near Eng land. Portland cement was first made in England in 1925 and il was not un- til 1878 that the industry was first brought to this country. The first ce- ment works in the United States was at COplay, Pa. Up to the year S94 the output of the few cement factories in this country was very small In 1891 only 13 per cent of all the cement used here was made in this country; the rest came from England and Germany. But the growth of this business was the most marvellous of anything in the whole history of the industrial develop ment of the country. In 1900 we were making so per cent of all the cement used in the world. and the cement in- dustry has since grown with leaps and bounds until today our plants are models for the world.
 In the modern cement plant the raw material is brought to the plant in ears and dumped into bins for the sev- eral mills. and from then on. until it is packed in bags ready for shipment, it is handled by electrically operated ma chinery.
