Concrete STAYS Put.

AS concrete gets older it becomes
harder and more durable-that is, of
course, if the concrete is properly
made.
The usual means of wrecking a
house have not the slightest effect on
concrete. The sledgehamm er, the
drill, and dynamite must be used.
Acids might be used to disintegrate
the concrete. but the expense would be
enormous. The only thing to do is to
loosen the material with explosives
and then break it free from the steel
reinforcement with sledgehammers,
and that is a long, tedious job.-Bos-
ton Advertiser.
