CHICAGO WARS
ON SPEEDERS;' !: !! | : ).
AuTHORITiES-THERE TAKE .DRAS.
TIC MEASURES-MAN Is ...
FINED $1,000. -.

Chicago, May IA chain Of auto
mobile accidents in the last week, un-
precedented in the history Of Chicago,
has caused city and county officials to
declare they will take drastic measures
to stop reckless driving. ..-. u
Municipal Judge Gemmeal has start
ed an active crusade against speeders
by assessing fine of $1,000 against
Geo. &. Schott, who was driving an
automobile and struck and injured
Anna Falkenburg, IA years old, the
charge being assault with a deadly
weapon, a new ground for the pro-
secution for automobile drivers. Coun-
ty Prosecutor John E. w. Wayman de-
clared his intention to take personal
charge Of all automobile accidents that
reach his office. He declared himself in
favor of an amendment to the state
law on speeding, making it criminal
offense.
It is as much of a crime to kill a
person with an automobile by criminal
carelessness as it is to commit murder
by shooting or stabbing, he said.
Mayor Harrison Joins Fight.
Mayor Harrison also joined in the
fight In q message to the city council
he urged a revision of the city ordin-
ances regulating the speed Of automo-
biles He followed this with a letter to
Municipal Judge Olson, protesting
against the release Of speeders from
the courts with nominal fees.
OF the five persons who were drown
ed when an automobile plunged into
the Calumet river at 92d street Monday
morning, the bodies Of three have been
recovered. The body of Florence Ma
hony was taken from the river yester-
day. Those Of her sister Anna Mahoney,
and John L. Boyd were recovered.
Two other victims, John Buchanan,
a chauffeur, and a man thought to be
Charles Rumick a garage employe, still
are in the water.

heavier parts will be separated from
the lighter and forced to the bottom
of the mass. Good concrete Is only
obtained when the stones and gravel
remain in contact with the mortar.
1t is not hard to make the forms for
concrete tanks. In fact most any one
can invent a form of his own. The
amount of stock to be watered at the
tank must be taken into considera-
ton when the size Is planned. II
rectangular tank is to be used, the
proper dimensions can be determined
by consulting Table IL.
1t often happens that around stock
tank there Is mud hole. This can
be easily avoided by making a cement
platform around the tank extending
out six feet on all sides.
In making the forms for the tank,
the outside measurements of the in
side forms should be one inch greater
in both directions than the outside
dimensions of the tank. This Is neces-
sary to avoid the possibility OF any
mart of the tank being supported by
the floor proper. The outer edge of
the floor should be one inch lower
than the edge surrounding the space
to be occupied by the tank. This pro-
vides drainage for water that Is spilled
to be occupied by the tank.
The bill of materials shown above
is for tank ten feet long and six feet
wide. The price of such a tank can
be easily computed by local dealer.
During the summer months mothers o
young children should watch for any unnat

The watchword of the present
seems to be conservation. This appar-
emily may be applied to all lines OF
work. Not only is this true in the
commercial world, but it will hold
true in rural pursuits. The farmer is
exerting every effort in obtaining
more efficiency froiu his activities and
to do this he Is gathering about him
every kind of modern machine or con-
.neniance that is ottafuahle. s-e-,
Concrete on the farm Is becoming
an important factor and with the ad-
vent of this new medium Of -construc-
tion, feeding floors, troughs, racks,
fence posts, silos. farm buildings and
many useful necessities are being add
ed to the farm equipment. Many OF
these useful things may be construct
ed by the farmer himself or his regu-
lar help. All that is necessary is a
working knowledge of concrete and
its reinforcements. In the construc-
ton OF large buildings a knowledge OF
the reinforcement of beams and grid
ers Is required and such construction
should be submitted to an architect
or bridge engineer who is acquaint-
ed with these problems.
Materials used in the construction
of concrete work are usually proper
toned 1-2-4 or 1-2k-5, 1926, Las, de-
pending upon their character. That Is,

,n,rrs crusned stone or gravel are used
in the 1875. The mixture se!ecteo
will depend upon the nature OF the
work in which it is used.
Table No. !. shows the materials
necessary for one cubic yard OF con-
crete.
In order to determine the amount
of cement necessary for any amount
of concrete, estimate the number OF
cubic yards and multiply that number
by the figure in the table opposite
"Bbls. cement per cubic yard OF con-
crete" and under mixture to be
used" The amount of sand and OF
stone is determined in the same way.
Batch mixing, as indicated by the
name, is an intermittent process and
Is the one most used In silo construc-
ton. Under certain conditions the
continuous mixing process may be en-
ployed. Continuous mixing is done by
machinery, the materials being fed
into the machine without interruption
during the mixing process, which may
continue for four or five hours. .Batcn
mixing may be done by machinery II
1t seems more desirable. Simple me-
chanical mixers have been very sue
cessfully constructed from an ordi-
nary kerosene barrel.
Water should be added until a slop-
py mixture is obtained. This will per-
NIT the material to be readily poured.
The concrete should be prepared upon
a water-tight mixing platform, usually
about 1Ox12 feet In placing the ma
terials upon this platform, some meth
cd should be used to get the proper
proportions; that is, If 1-2-4 mixture
Is used, some simple measure for the
materials should be employed where
by this may be easily determined.

If layer of mud or clay settles over
the sand, do not use it.
Gravel or stone should be free from
sticks, leaves or any foreign sub
stance which would in any way de-

screened gravel or crushed stone Is
being used, in which case place the
cement upon the sand, mixing until a

add enough water to produce the
proper consistency. Hoes or shoVels
can be used to mix the concrete, but
the latter are more often employed.
Concrete should be mixed in small
quantities, only such amounts being
prepared as will be used up immedi-
ately. Concrete hardens so rapidly
that Jumps often begin to form
throughout the whole mass before 1t

the whole amount should be discard

APPEALED TO HOTEL CLERK
Fair Guest Applied for Object Not Us.

To be a successful hotel clerk you
must have an even temper. There Is
no man under the sun who has so
much to try his temper as a hotel
clerk. The night clerk of a certain
Baltimore hotel Is a young mar with
the most polished manners. He is
especially polite to the ladies', but a
few evenings ago he nearly lost his
equilibrium when a pretty guest asked
him to loan her an alarm clock.
II must get up very early tomorrow
morning" said the fair guest; cant
you loan me an alarm clock-one
that I can depend on?"
II will have you called at any hour
you WISH" replied the clerk.
THAT won't do. You might forget
1t, and besides, I have no watch, and
If I wake up during the night / like
to know the time"
The clerk suggested that there was
a telephone in the room, but that
would not do, so he called the house
keeper, who loaned the fair guest an
alarm clock.
