GERMANY MAKES STAG BRICK
Well Suited for Building Of Houses on
Account Of Strength and Re-
distance to Heat.

In Germany the graduated Stag
from blast furnaces is being utilized
for the manufacture Of brick. The
making of Stag brick Is no new thing.
but heretofore fluid Stag has been
employed for the purpose, and the
brick thus produced has been found
unsuitable for building purposes, be
cause of its impermeability to air
and steam.
But the Stag bricks made in Ger
many are. 1t is said, not open to this
objection. On the contrary. while ex-
ceeding the Ltrength Of ordinary
bricks and possessing an extraor-
binary resistance to heat, they are
more permeable to air, and conse-
quently are well suited for the build
ing Of houses. They do not absorb
water as rapidly as ordinary bricks.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 29.-The constl-
tutional amendment providing woman
suffrage in Michigan was defeated
by 594 votes, according to figures com
piled in the secretary of states office
az Lansing from every county in Mi
chigan. Until the result is officially
announced by the state board of can
vassers Dec. 10 It IS said that no def
mite statement will be made by the
ADVOCATES of the amendment as to
what course of action they will next
take up.
Plans are now being made in many
directions, however, to petition the
legislature to resubmit the question in
the spring election.
The only recount definitely decided
upon IS In Saginaw county, where the
figures showed a majority of about 9.
500 against the amendment. There is
a possibility that the recount may
swing the victory back to the women
suffrage advocates, who have been
claiming it up to within the last two
days.
