TEST SOUTH DAKOTA SANDS

About 1,50O test specimens of South
Dakota sands and g~ravels were made
and tested free of charge during the
past year by the experimental engin.
eering department of the State Col
lege under the direction of Prof. Rob.
ertson Cook. In every case a repor
of the condition of the material was
returned to the sender. 1t was found
that a great many sands unsatisfac.
tory for building purposes were being
used and that in many cases it would
be desirable either to improve the
quality or to ship in some other ma
terial.
Many failures of concrete struc-
lures in this state" says Prof. Cook,
ARE due to the use of unsatisfactory
aggregate. Frequent reports from
engineers and contractors indicate
that most South Dakota sands and
g~ravels should be tested before being
used in concrete construction. 1t is
u intention to carry Oh investiga-
lions long enough to find the most de,
siTab!o material Of this nature in the
different parts of the state.
This work will, therefore, be con
tinued throughout the coming year,
during which time this department
will be very glad to test free of charge
any sands and gravels which may be
sent to them by people of this state.
Before sending such material, how
ever, instructions as to the required
amount of sample should be obtained.
Such information will be sent upon
application to the department of ex-
perimental engineering of South Da-
kota State College"
Prof. Cook has received a great
many letters from prominent engin-
GERS of the state in commentator of
the work. One city engineer has writ
ten that these tests have been of great
value to him in a project requiring
especially good concrete work. An
other city engineer writes, "You are
commencing a work which means
much to the people of the state, and
n which will prevent to no small
extent the expenditure of good money
for concrete of an inferior quality" A
letter from the state engineer at
Pierre says, 81 wish to say l think you
have hit upon a very interesting and
useful investigation. You are we'll
equipped in the laboratory for carry.

before the time Of Christ, and in spite
of the fact that millions of fur-bearing
animals are killed off every year, in
spite of the fact that rigid game laws
are enacted to protect the fur bearers.
the game is far from being extinct,
and when the collections are smaller.
the price goes up accordingly. 1t is
wonderful the part that furs have
played in the history of man. They
have caused wars, led to the explora-
ton of new lands and changed the
maps of nations but more wonderful
still are the varied fluctuations in the
market. 1t Is the greatest speculative
market is at it's highest pitch, Wall
street fades away to nothing alongside
of it, and so it is with the steel trust
and the tobacco trust and the rest of
our largest industries. Before people
knew what steel or tobacco was, they
were skinning animals for their fur,
and still the game has not died out, In
fact, this season promises more actiy-
ity than ever in the fur business.
Furs are an absolute necessity as
they form the protective clothing of
those whose occupation brings them
in contact with the elements of winter.
Furthermore, furs are extremely fash
ionable. Milady's wardrobe Is not
complete without most of her outer
garments for fall and winter; her hat,
evening gown and dresses trimmed
with fur. And it is uncommon to see
shoe tops also trimmed with fur.

Do oil boxes for springs save the life
of the spring, and do they make the car
ride easier?
The main object Of oil boxes is to
eliminate squeaking and rusting. The
life of the spring Is increased by their
use, inasmuch as rusting and excessive
wear are prevented by the presence
Of the lubricant, and riding may also
be improved, due to the fact that fric-
ton between the leaves is cut down.

Queries and Replies Covering Matters Of

Does it pay to pace an extra leaf aft
or the spring has been weakened? Will
this prove satisfactory?
1t all depends on what the cost of a
new spring would be. Ordinarily we
would advise a complete new spring.

For Sale-A baby and a two wheeled
cart, both in splendid condition. Phone
The above want ad ran last
night in the Times and clearly
demonstrated the value of ad-
vertising as the paper was no
more than on the street when
the telephone at the office be-
gan ringing and men and wo-
men alike desired some descrip-
ton of the baby. Some wanted
a black one, some a white, some
light hair and blue eyes and
Others dark hair and large
brown eyes and with still others
the fact of it being a boy or
girl seemed to make some diff
ference. If all want ads are
read as quickly and carefully
as this one, the want ad way is
the only way, without a doubt.
AS was probably surmised, the
word carriage should have ap-
peared after the word baby as
the fond parents are not willing
to dispose of their little boy,
although they received about
as many telephone calls as this
paper.
