My Dear Secretary Dickinson: l

leaving the War Department would
embarrass me, in view of condi-
tions in Mexico, you would request

fee. While l fully appreciate the
high sense of duty that prompts
your offer, / am glad to say that re-
cent developments indicate that no
crisis is likely to arise making your
withdrawal now any more OF an en-
barrassment than at later date, or
justifying my asking from you such
a sacrifice.

ment. At the opening joint fit two
4-inch hasps instead of hinges. Be-
tween, and near each hasp, put
staple made of about No. wire and
~ inches long, drive through the
stave about A inch from edge and
bend over the ends on the outside of
core and clinch solid. These staples
are for the purpose of inserting a
claw hammer to pry open the side of
the core, putting a small block un-
der hammer on opposite side of
joint. Note also that the joint at
opening must be beveled as shown in
cut and kept creased with axle
grease to facilitate opening. The
hinges and hasps should be bent to
fit nicely the inside of core. After
all hinges and hasps are on, remove
temporary blocks from corners of
heads and saw small V-shaped notch
es in three of the corners and in
middle of hinged segment to allow
core to collapse as shown. Make a
cap as shown, ~ inches thick, by
crossing the grain of two thicknesses
of boards, bevel the edge and put
three h-inch dowel pins in under
side to fit into corresponding holes in
the end of core. This cap holds the
core rigid and makes good mortar
board to shovel the concrete on to
when filling molds.
The Outside Mold; Hasps and Hoops.
The outside mold is made just the
reverse of the core. The slaves,
which are the same size and length,
are nailed to the inside of two rims,
which are IL by inches and are
made with eight segments 1 by 3
inches to each rim, doubling them
and breaking joints at center of
each segment. Fit joints close and
nail the segments together solid with
6-penny wire nails and clinch down
solid on under side. Leave rims
solid till mold is finished. 1t is a
good plan to draw two circles on a

the core to just fill the first, and the
inside circle of outside mold exactly
the size of the second. This will leave
space of inches for thickness of
tile, which will be full IL inches
after the sheet iron coverings are on.
When the two rims are made and
smoothed up, nail the slaves on with
2-inch finishing nails and see that
joints are made in slaves where
hinges and hasps come.
When mold is complete and ends
smoothed, begin on outside and with
fine saw cut rims nearly through
where hinges and hasps come. Fit
two 5-inch strap hinges on one side
OF mold and two 6-inch hasps on the
other, and finish saving rims so the
mold will swing open in halves, af-

mold will be drawn snug together

The accompanying drawings illus
trate a set of molds which can be
made by anyone handy with tools,
and will equip him for making (after
a little practice) tile as serviceable
as are made in the most expensive
factory. The writer has made and
used hundreds of these tile of IL
and 20 inches diameter, and they
have proven highly satisfactory.
With cement at $3.50 per barrel
and gravel at $3.50 per ton, the 20
inch tile can be made for rs cents
per foot, counting 81 per day for
labor. The tile can be made along
the line of the ditch, thereby saving
one-half the expense of hauling.
When party has gravel on his farm
and does the work himself, the 20
inch can be made for 10c. per foot.
1t is very satisfactory way to make
a few at a time in odd hours and
have them seasoning while more ur-
gent work is being done. They
should season 80 to 60 days before
handling.

Making the Core.

The details of the accompanying
drawings are carried out on a scale
of 1/16 inch to the inch. All the
wooden parts of forms are made of
B Inch soft white pine and should
be of good quality and surfaced on
both sides. The inside drum or core
is made by mailing %x2-inch slaves
on to two ends or heads, each head
being made of four pieces Hx3 inch
es mitered at corners and cut to
true circle 1SA inches in diameter.
Blocks should be tackled across corn
ers to hold the head firmly togeth-

finished. The stave should be about
2 inches wide on outside and beveled
to make joint when fitted to heads.
