Concrete Piles a New Industry.

Concrete piles, their manufacture and
use are the basis of a new industry.
They are newer than concrete itself
They represent the most recent devcl-
opment in construction method that
began within the memory of our faith.
ers
Perhaps the next few years will see
, the universities of technology teaching
a course in concrete pile engineering
The wide field of the pile, it's adapta-
! bility to all sorts of foundation work,
its utility in pinches that would tax
the ingenuity of the ordinary cement
expert, call for trained men. Basic
knowledge OF concrete is, of course, as
! necessary in pile building as it is in
any other branch of cement work But
the concrete pile has entered we'll into
territory hitherto exclusively the prop
erty Of other industries. 1t has ma de
its own opportunity and has developed
needs hitherto unknown in the con-
crete world.
Concrete piles, tons upon tons of
them, went into the Main Street Via
Guct
| The first concrete pile driven in the
United States was placed under the
hammer in 1901. Now there are four
companies in the country making con-
crete plies under patents of their own.
and the industry has made remarkable
strides wherever extensive building is
in progress.
1t Is one of the arguments in favor
Iof the concrete pile that it can be
made in place. cast in the very posi-
ton in which it is intended to remain.
Each of the four companies now in
the business employs a different meth
I'D. All are successful because of the
possibility of casting in place.
= The first man in the field employed a
conical steel she'll which was driven
into the earth. Then the concrete was
poured IN. The shell, of course, coulo
not be removed and represented a great
expense.
The second concern to make piles
used removable shell but left in the
ground, after the casting of each pile
valuable cast iron point
Another company began operation
with a new apparatus and took from
: the 81 ound after casting the pile every
thing except the concrete. The shell
was made collapsib.e and the point wa
n drawn up with the core before the ce
ment mixture was poured in. The sam
q method has been followed ever sine

Grafton that in a single year 1t cut tn
cost OF concrete piling in two.
A structure that will remain long a
a monument to the efficiency of tn

that Il distinguished chemist of tht
lImpe rial Technical School of Moscow
had solved the problem of making ar,
tificial rubber and that he could sci
the new product at about 80 cents 8
pound Yet, in spite of this widely
disseminated piece of news, the price
of rubber remains pretty much the
same. The reason may be found by
examining the patent office records.
during the past 10 or Il years hun
dreds of patents for artificial rubber
/ have been taken out.
Substitutes haXe been made from
petroleum, from coal tar, turpentine,
peat, from nitrated linseed oil and by
latter invention made eonsiderab bic

Judging by the constantly increasing
demand for the natural product it has
had little effect upon the real rubber
market.
The chemist, working in his labora-
tory, can take any substance and
analy&e it--that is. break it up into its
original constituents and tell YOU wha
they are, and how much of each Gle
