The Kodak Trust

Washington, Jan. 16.-The KODAK

porations sued under the Sherman
anti trust act to seek peaceful set
Element of IT'S troubles with the de-
partment of justice. Negotiations be-
tween representatives of the so-called
trust and the department have pro-
crossed SO far that an agreement prob
ably will be reached within a short
time.
Suit was begun against the Eastman
Kodak Co of New Jersey and the East
man Kodak Co. of New York at Buffalo
last June, answer was made by the de-
PENDANTS, and the taking of testimony
by the government is near completion.
Settlement of the suit may be reached
either by an agreement out of court sim
liar to that with the American Telephone
& telegraph Co. or in the form of a
consent decree registered in federal
court The success of the agreement
plan so far has inclined officials to favor
it in this case.
In the bill filed in Buffalo the two
Eastman concerns were charged with
controlling 70 per cent of the trade of
the United States in Photographic sup
plies, and with fixing the resale prices
of cameras, films and other patented
supplies. 1t was the first suit instituted
by Attorney General McReynolds apply
ing the principle announced by the su-
preme court denying the right to pa
tentees to fix resale prices for retails.

at $50 this morning and, with the ex-
ception of an hour for luncheon with
his secretary, was continuously occu-
pied with callers until o'clock tonight.
He omitted his usual game of golf
Representative Stanley was the
Presidents first caller. He talked at
length on the trust question. Then the
President passed an hour with Secre-

ing that Of Col. William c. Gorgas,
who vas agreed upon to be surgeon

Secretary Bryan conferred with him
for another hour on international ques-

time.
In the afternoon Edward F. Goltra,

TO MAKE CEMENT WATERFRONT.
Interesting Experiments at the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin.

Extensive experiments are being
conducted at the college of engineer
ing OF the University of Wisconsin to
find a simpler means of making con-
crete watertight. Results of great ina
portance TO contractors. engineers.
and farmers who have to do with con-
crete construction are said to have
been obtained already, and still more
important ones are expected. A large
cement company in the Middle West
is cooperating with the college by
offering the facilities of it's plant.
Already some interesting results
have been obtained in the effect of the
length of the time of mixing in
machine mixer of the batch type; the
effect of the percentage of mixing up
on the impervlousness of the concrete:
the effect of having sand in dry con-
dition before mixing. and the effect of
having the sand wet.
The experimenters have found that
good results are obtained if the con-
crete remains in the mixer from two
to three minutes when dry materials
are employed. For cases where the
sand and gravel or stone are damp a
considerably longer time is required.
| Therefore the use of wet sand should
be avoided if possible. The expert
ments showed that mixtures consist
! ing of one part cement, IL of James
Vile sand of the torpedo grade, and
three parts of GAINESVILLE gravel, when
mixed to a wet consistency, are i'm
pervious to water when subjected to a
pressure of forty pounds per square
| c
of cement to six parts of gravel Ia
graded mixture) have been made i'm
pervious at high pressures by using
care in proportioning the amount of
water and in mixing the batch. The
specimens used in making these tests
arc cylindrical in form and so made
that the faces of the cylinders, which
are 1911. inches in diameter, are exposed
to the predetermined water pressure.
The thickness of the concrete through
which the water must pass can be
varied from to IS inches. Ample
prov ision is made for cleaning both
faces of the cylinder before placing 1t
upon the testing apparatus. The APP
paratus itself is so arranged that very
accurate tests can be made.
The Importance of these experiments
will be more sufficiently appreciated
when 1t is understood that a large
proportion of the trouble arising from
concrete is due to the use of defec-
tive sand or gravel.
The department is also studying the
effect of varying the percentages of
cement and water, the graduation OF
the sand and gravel (by this is meant
! the size of the rocks and the fineness
of the sand, the proportioning Of the
mixture, the thoroughness of mixing
and the effects Of different conditions
on the hardening of the specimens

happened, they placed a buoy where
the submarine had dived and steamed
hurriedly for Davenport for assist

was running and this, apparently, had
washed away the marking buoy from
the spot where the All" had made
her plunge. Graphing operations were
carried out without success and final

fixed approximately the position of

The Oyster.

The oyster is a very ancient institu-
ton and a most honorable one. From
time immemorial poets have sung OF
him and orators have dwelt upon his
charms. Juvenal. the most INDUSTRIOUS
of all satirists, enlivened the literary
charms of the reigns of Trojan and
Hadrian with his comments on the
oyster, and the comments were not
satirical either. but warmly commend
atory. The oyster. the true cosmopo-
lite, is found pretty nearly everywhere
and was the delight Of the world for
ages upon ages before the man from
Genoa found the shores of America
