BABIES IS
TO BE AIM Of
NEW CONTEST

There was man, not so many
years ago, who had eight children.
five of them went to school in the
little white bodybuilding on the hill
two miles away.
One winter day 1t settled in to
snow and blow about o'clock in
the afternoon, and by dismissal time
a thorough going blizzard was in
progress. Those five little tads wait
ed an hour for someone to come for
them; then they walked home. BY
some miracle they accomplished the
two miles in the roaring storm.
Dad had been too busy housing
some thoroughbred pigs to come af-
ter them.
But that attitude towards children
is going out of fashion. We are be-
ginning to think that our youngsters
might be thoroughbreds and worthy
of attention as much as pigs. at least.
So the County Fair Association is
convinced and has added the Better
Babies department to its efficiency
list in order to spread its gospel as
to the value of children. They have
planned contest for the kiddies in
which health and intellect are to be
the determining factors.

GOOD PLANS FOR
CONCRETE BUILDINGS
First Consideration Is to Deter
mine Proper Proportion of
Materials Needed.

CBy o. p. PENNOCK. Colorado Agricul-
tural Colege)
The first thing to consider In any
concrete structure is the proper pro
portion OF materials. A simple meth.
cd for determining the amounts nee
essary, is to apply the water meas
urement"
Take a washtub and small buck
ct and determine the number OF buck
cts of sand necessary to fill or near.
" fill the tub. Next determine the
number Of buckets OF water that are
necessary to entirely fill the voids In
sand, being careful in this measure
ment to bring the water just TO the
surface of the sand. The number OF
buckets OF water determines the
amount OF cement for the amount OF
sand measured. Next measure the
broken stone or gravel into the tub
the same as the sand In ihe first step
apply the water measurement. and
this gives the amount OF mixture OF
sand and cement necessary for the
amount Of broken stone used.
For example: Suppose we put Is
buckets OF sand into the tub and 1t
takes six buckets of water to I'LL the
voids, then the proportion OF cement
to sand Is six to eighteen. or one to
three. Again. we yut fifteen buckets
OF broken stone into the tub and find
that 1t takes rine buckets OF water to
MI the voids. then the proportion OF
sard to broken stone is nine to fifteen
or three to five. Our total mixture
therefore, would consist OF one part
cement, three parts sand and five
parts broken stone.
