Mr.. Sehwab spoke a bit pessimisti-
cally of the business outlook. although
he introduced his remarks with the dec
laration that he was an optimist. He
said: II thing there Will be little
recession in business. due to the un-
certainty over this tariff revision and
the currency bill. Pending the settle
ment of these questions there may be
a setback. I well remember the year
1893.
I'm the steel business everybody is
busy, but running under orders taken
during the year. On the average about
one-half of the steel mems shipments
are of this nature. I believe a moder-
ate revision of the tariff will do no
harm, but a radical one will hurt, and
will hurt the steel trade. especially in
the East You must remember that a
ton of rails can be shipped as cheaply
from Belgium to New York as | can
ship them from Bethlehem to New
York Thus under a radical revision
consumers in the west would have an
advantage.
.It is true that our surplus produc,
has been sold in Europe cheaper than IN
the United States. but that does not
hurt the consumer. II is a recognized
principle in business that after the
manufacturer has sold all the products
he can at home he may sell abroad
even at a lower rate to pay the ex-
penses Of running full time and keep
ing labor employed"

der the new tariff may not be large
compared wit hthe total steel produce
ton of the United States, they may be
in sufficient volume to bring about
competition and lower prices for GER
tain products. 1t is because of the
belief of many consumers that the op-

mean lower prices that buyers are less

Even Grade Favored.

This evenness of grade is favored by
automobiles rather than succession Of
hills and hollows, and as a result Macomb
now is more extensively used for auto
mobile traffic than any other east and
west street in that section.
The first steps toward putting the street
into its present state were taken about
two years ago when the winding roadway
which formerly was there was straight
ened and leveled to some extent
fhe street was left in a rough state at
that time and it was not until a COM
paratively short time ago that the m
cadamiZinS was started. This work was
completed week or so ago and the
barriers which had prevented traffic on
the street for some time past were re-
moved.

VANISHING FURNITURE"
Three Rooms in One Is Latest
Apartment House
Idea.

Vanishing furniture. That's the very
latest in apartment house Quitting 1t is
in Providence, r. l.. that the disappear
ing appliances are to be found.
The light housekeeper in this apartment
house approaches the condition of the one
in the fairy tale who had only to say,
Little goat bleat, little goat rise" and a
feast appeared before her.
The Providence apartment house is said
to be the only one Of the kind in the
United States, though similar ones are to
be built in other cities Tie apartment
consists Of one room, with clothes closet
bathroom and kitchenette. The one room
is TIE feature of the apartment for il is
three rooms in one, thanks to the van
ishing furniture. The larger pieces OF
furniture in the apartment are at one
end of the room: back of these, running
the width of the room, Is the clothes
closet.
Partition and furniture at this end of
the room are movable. During the day
there is here a pretty little bookcase and
another attractive piece of furniture,
combination desk and china closet. When
night comes a tWIrl IS given to this
china closet or the partition, to which it
is secured, and the whole thing turns
around The inside of the Partition dis
closes full-siZed bed fastened to it The
book case, which is the other end of
the partition, is also turned, revealing a
chest of drawers.
That makes two rooms OF the one. The
third. the dining room, is made by drop
ping upon 4 little square table, which is
q permanent feature Of the center of tine
room. a round dining table top which has
been fastened to the underSide of the bed
All these things move like magic, little
more effort being needed TO furnish the
different rooms than was required by the
heroine of the fairy tale to obtain her
feast.

TRAFFIC ATTRACTED
TO MACOMB STREET
Completion of Matchmaking Has
Made Thoroughfare Popular
With Automobiles.

With the recent completion of the mae
adamizing of Macomb street from Con-
necticut avenue west to Wisconsin ave-
nue. a street which formerly was used
only TO a small extent has become one of
the most popular thoroughfares in all of
Cleveland Park.
Now that the street has been given a
smooth macadamized surface a large por-
ton of the vehicuIar traffic between Con-
necticut avenue and Wisconsin avenue
has been diverted from Newark street
and Woodley road, the most popular
paths of east and west travel in that sec
Jion heretofore.
The popularity of Macomb street is due
To evenness of the grade on that thor
oughfare between Connecticut and Wis
consin avenues. Macomb street has none
of the hills and hollows that are to be
found on Newark street: nor on any por-
ton of it is the grade between the two
avenues as steep as il is on Newark
street for the first square or SO west OF
Connecticut avenue.

HISTORY Of CEMENT
DATESBACK TO ROME
Originally Was Prepared by Mixing
Lime and Volcanic
Ash.

Much confusion exists as to the mean
ing of the term Portland cement" To
correct the many erroneous impressions

named Portland prominent cement

standing of the term may be more gen

Since the dawn of civilization lime
construction; in fact as long as man
contented himself with simple struc-
lures that had to resist only the effects
of the atmosphere he found lime to
serve his every need as a binder. With
the rise of the Roman empire the want
for a binder or cement that would hard

made itself felt. The necessity for such
material soon produced 1t.
Prepared by Mixing.
The Romans found that by mixing
about three parts of slaked lime with
one part of the volcanic ash from Mount
Vesuvius a cement resulted which would
''set up to hard mass under water.
This cement was called ''puzzolane p" and
with it the famous Roman aqueducts
and public buildings were constructed.
Up to the end of the eighteenth cen
