One of the objections sometimes
made to the use of concrete in build
Ing construction is the fact that the
finished surface is rough and no at
tempt is made to give a finish to the
surface. either in the molds or after
their removal. This is probably due
to an idea that interfering with the
surface would destroy the skin of the
concrete and lessen its usefulness
Two methods are now being sue
cessfully employed giving a finish to
concrete either in nodded blocks, or
monolithic construction in place. The
first of these methods is to apply
fresh granite to the face of the mold,
which gives it all the finish and dur
ability of granite ashlar This finish

wise preventing the block from stick

thoroughly mixed while still dry. The
face OF the mold is wiped clean and

good citizen, sound jurist, SEN

IN his Boston banquet speech President
Taft expressed a real admiration for

speaking as follows:

SEPTEMBER FIRE LOSSES

Ii is rather discouraging to note that
the fire losses in the month Of Sep.
tember, just past, in this country and
Canada, were the greatest of any Sep
tember for three years past. 1t had
been supposed that the warnings and
the vigilance of the fire marshals in
the various cities of the United States
would have done something to mini,
mize these fire losses; but they con.
time along at just about the same old
figure all the time
The total September fire losses this
year are reported by the New York
Journal of Commerce as s17,91e 400
compared with sl3, 3,799,3 300 in Septem.
ber, 1912, and sl1,333,250 in septem-
ber OF 1911
For the nine months of the present
year the total fire losses are given at
sl1s,456,550 For the same period in
1912 they were s177,429,e5o. For the
corresponding nine months in 1911 thew
amounted to sl7s,9s8,S00 That Is fbe
fire losses in this series of nine months
are practically identical for the three
years.

STUBBORN AND REBELLIoUs.

1t seems surprising that the Con
gress OF the United States should have
passed the 3 per cent discount provi-
sion in the tariff bill in favor of Ameri-
can ships. The twenty-five nations
which had treaties with us, guarantee
ing to their shipping equal rights in
every respect with American shipping,
formally protested against the enact
ment of this provision. 1t is a clear
case that we cannot enforce any pro"
vision of that kind in favor Of Ameri-
can ships. Why, then, should there
have been such a determination to in
clude it in the bill7 It is holding out
hope to American ship owners which
cannot possibly be realized in fact; for
it is in direct conflict with the anti.
discrimination clause in all of our
treaty agreements with the great
powers.
The bill first carried q rctaliatory
feature in the reciprocity clause, but
this was dropped at the demand of the
President, who recognized the folly Of
reinforcing proposals for tariff con.
cessions with threats of this kind. But
the discriminatory shipping rebate was
allowed to stand. despite the protests of
the nations, Now these nations threat
en- reprisals which may cost the Ma
tional treasury many millions of dol
lars, with no chance of fighting back
or bringing our commercial foes to
time We simply face loss without
the slightest possibility even Of the
gain which the proposal as it stands
holds out to American shipping.
But since the avowed purpose of
this provision of the bill is impossible
Of being carried out, why was it in
sisted upon by both Houses of Congress,
and why is it that Representative I'm
derwood chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, was opposed to
taking out of it this impossible provi
sion, and is even now strenuously op-
posed to the proposition To strike it
out of the law7
AS to the passing of the bill itself,
it has been fairly stated that an analy-
Sis brings into prominence its defects,
1t IS full of contradictions and of
"holes,' besides the one here named.
But because of the opposition of Mr..
Underwood there seems to be hitch
in the process of amending this law so
as to strike out the impossible pro-
vision referred to. And still, it will
have to be struck out, for 1t is surely
unconstitutional and imperative, even
without any legal test. For the very
things which it promises cannot be
done, and American shipping is forbid
den all such aid as this by our COM
mercial treaties, which can in no wise |
be violated |
