Glee clubs called because of the glee with

Owing these and other scientific methods tho

The enthusiasm with which the

or two. it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and

GRANITE GUARDED FROM BouLpERs

An interesting feature of the production of granite
in California is the quantity of quarried from
large residual boulders These houlders according to
the United States Geological Survey. represent the
left from prolonged dsinteGration of large
granite masses, but after thin weathered coating
removed they yield sound stone. Good granite should
stand a crushing weight of at least 1000 pounds
to the square inch; GRANTEES will stand 10000
pounds. This may be compared to common red
brick which will crush at about 5000 pounds to the
square inch.
