Concrete Construction.

THE following is the first of two or
three articles on concrete construction
by Mr. o. Blume of kenwood, gentle
man who as consulting engineer and
contractor has had much experience in
erecting plain and reinforced concrete.

This is an age OF inventions and dis

that our knowledge by far SurpaSSeS any
knowledge the human race has ever
had we point 10 our railroads, bridges,
dams, aqueducts and SkyScraperS and

race produced such! And yet all OF
these marvelS are in the main dependent
upon one building material, that

il was found again one hundred years
ago. The material called "Cement."
lust how the ancientS managed TO erect
their immense structures, we don
know; nor do we know how they
made their cement, but we know, that
the Egyptians 1000 years ago used natur-
al cement; we know, that the city OF
Carthage 23OO years ago built an aque-
duct 70 miles long, wherein cement was
used; il contained 1000 concrete arches,
many of which still stand, silent test.
monies TO the strength and durability OF
cement. The Romans, mighty build
ers, set concrete stamp through their
empire, buildings that stand to day and
apparently will stand forever, unaffected
by the ravageS of time.
Then came the fall OF Rome with the
influx OF the barbarian hordeS' from
the north, and now somehow the art oil
making cement was lost, and while the
middle ages has left US many magnifi,
cent structures, whose strength and
grandeur we admire, no trace of ce-
ment is found in their composition.
In 1896 an Englishman produced a
species OF natural cement by calCining
and crushing certain material. In 1918

the Erie canal; after this the production
and use grew gradually, till it received a

We find it everywhere; in foundations
for bridges and skyscraperS, in railroad
ties and in telephone posts, in concrete

Jesus, therefore, being wearied
with His journey, sat thus on the
we'll" John 4:6
One loves to light on such an Incl
dent of Jesus as this. He was weary,
thirsty, hungry. The fiber of His
human nature was, therefore, like our
own. That is our just inference.
And our Master is seen 10 touch us
as well by His weaknesses, as by His
strength. The man who sat, weary
and tootsore, on the Jacobs well
curb was our Brother. He is able TO
have compassion, therefore, on us
who sometimes grow weary by the
way. He knoweth our frame, for He
has senSed its infirmities. But why
was Jesus by the we'll? He was on a
vacation trip. He was getting away
from the heat and friction that de-
vcloped by reason OF His work in
Iudea. He had had more than weari-
ness OF body. WEAKNESS OF spirit,
by reason OF the contradiction OF sin
nerS, was upon Him. And, turning
back on work, He set out for the
more rcStiul and tolerant Galilee.
Some toiler for the Master, nova
days, will have ii flung al him with
The glib tongue an muSty wit OF some
careless wording, in piouS pose,
that THE devil takes no vacation. "
But let no real disciple OF Jesus vince
at the sting. Your Master took va
cation, and you are following Him;
and not Satan, who cannot rest.
Your Master not only rested, but said
TO followers, like you, Come ye,
yourselves apart, and rest awhile"
But let it be noted well that while
Jesus did put work at His back, He
did not let the spirit of personal faith
and converse with God die down.
We may, in the cxacting seasons, let
personal activity diminish. But TO
let faith diminish, TO lei the world
thread bare our religious life is 10
fail TO follow the Master, who, with
WEAKNESS OF spirit, mind and body
against Him, Kept in such freShea:'"cs
touch with heaven that 10 do such a
bit OF work as met Him at the we'll
side was meat 10 His whole being.
A vacation? Yes, by all means. But
rest by resting in the Lord. Let Him
pour strength into your spirit, as He
meets you in the pastures OF tender
grass, and by the waters OF quictnesS,
as you wander near 10 Natures heart.

What State Editors are
Saying.
Good Roads Demand Spreading

Good Roads Demand Spreading
All over the State, in every county,
town and hamlet the quickening lille OF
progression is in evidence. All are
bonding for improvements, but the
greatest OF these is for good roads.
Thus at last the agitation OF the past few
years has commenced TO bear fruit. In
this all classes have joined from the au'
toist 10 the farmer. To the former most
of the credit should be given, for while
al first the farmer looked with ill'col-
cealed dislike upon the man who
"honked honked" past his gate, soaring
his cattle and killing his chickens, yet
when he reached that stage that he
could venture to own and use one he,
too, became an enthusiast and "honked"
by his less fortunate neighbor with
some little feeling of superiority. Sud.
denly he realized that the old dirt road
that Dobbin used to pillow through with
! its choking dust or quagmireS OF mud,
was not fit for the new machine. That
il meant less TO him in the price OF his
products for the time lost and wear and
tear on his wagon had to be taken from
his profits He became a good road
convert. And thus il goes. Better
roads mean better prices for his produce;
means increased value OF his farm,
shortens the distance between neigh
bors, more money in his pocket, car,
and car without good roads 10 ride on
is thing OF neither pleasure or profit,
SO he bonds for good roads. Let the
good work go on.-Florida Grower.

w. A. Russell of the Palatka News
has an editorial paragraph, quoting Rob
ert Loveman's Rain Song, and gives this
calculation. Russell says that Loveman
is a small boy, who was denied the
privilege of playing in the rain, where
upon he rushed into the nursery and
flung off the following poem, quoting
the verses. Bob Loveman is a bald
headed bachelor, who works in bank
at Dalton, Ga, and raises Maltese kit.

Tut, tut, Reese; don't be facetiouS at

complaint at the prolonged rain and
selling his pencil wrote the Rain
Song" At that time Lovcman was
mere youth, but like some other Geor,

growing old and sordid and hypercritical
and bald headed. But no matter what
Loveman may be now; there was a
spring time in his life and il was during
this spring time of life that he gave 10

Florida Grower.
WE'LL we doubt it, If this law is TO
be enforced by Commissioner McRae,
why hasn't ii been done before; Ger.
tainly the coming Gainesville meeting
will not have the power TO define the
law. The law will be the same after
the meeting as it was before. The most
the Gainesville meeting can do is to
recommend amendments to the present
law which will make its enforcement
possible. Much OF this talk of stand
ard for the guidance OF all growers" is
pure rot; and so also is this idea of fix
ing upon a date after which il will be
lawful to ship fruit If that was The law
every grower would ship on that date,
with the result that the markets of the
country would be glulted and the grow
ers would receive less than nothing for
their fruit. The orange grower of
Florida knows when his fruit is ripe; he
knows there can be no fixed date for
its ripcning because of the varying
weather conditions from year to year.
And he also knows that some growers
can and do force their fruit some
through cultivation and fertilization, and
that some varieties ripen earlier than
others. But he also knows when each
variety is mature. And he also knows
that with an expert State Inspector at
Jacksonville to pass upon the maturity
or immaturity of fruit, that the present
law could be enforced. FhiS is the idea
OF one of the big Independent growers,
and it is a good idea. With such an in
spector on guard, clothed with proper
power, the man who has been shipping
green fruit would be likely to quit; he
would know and-hc would know the
inspector would know. The thing TO
do is TO go before the Legislature and
secure such an amendment TO the law.

Protection for Bathers-

The relatives of Miss Proctor, who
was drowned in the surf at Pablo Beach,
have entered suit against the owner OF
the bath houses at that resort for the
sum OF $4,000 The papers in the suit
declare that Miss Proctor was the sole
support of her widowed mother, that
she paid her money for bathing suit,
for the protection that should have been
accorded 10 her by the law and that she
was drowned through criminal negli-
gcnCe.
The suit is well taken. The Florida
law recently enacted states clearly that
wherever bathing privileges are sold at
the Florida resorts there should be
placed adequate protection for the bath
erS in the way of life lines, life boats
and beach guards. Few, if any, OF the
seaside resorts have made these proviS
ions. They charge the guests exorbi-
tant prices for everything and expect TO
give but little in return and the wonder
is that so few people are drowned each
year at the beach. This law of protec-
lion should be rigdly enforced at every
resort on the Atlantic coast and on the
Gulf and if protection is not granted the
bathers the owners should be jailed and
given a good sentence. Sanford Herald.
