 The tiptop record for cigar produc tion in this city was made during the month of October, as graphically told in a local news story in yester- days Tribune.
 The output of Tampa factories for October was 35,726,233 cigars nearly 9.0O0,000 a week-or 1,377,- 900 for each working day.
 The months record is more than a million cigars ahead of the best previous months record since the industry established.
 Tampa's factories, working at this rate, would Tn less than three months. make enough cigars to furnish orr, to every man. woman and child in its possessions.
 Naturally with such an output a'i customs and internal revenue collec- tion records were also smashed.

Device Measures Road Wear.

To the casual bystander the mixing
of all concrete may seem to be the
same process repeated over and over
again according to the same formula.
This is not so, however. as different
proportions of ingredients are used for
the different purposes which the FIN
ished product must serve. Particular
iy is this so in the case of concrete
roads. To determine the durability of
this or that mixture in actual service
engineers have devised apparatus By
which the wear on concrete road sur
face from year to year can be deter
mined to 1900 of an inch. The dew
ice is described in the Engineering
Record The results of such tests will
not improve the condition of the par
ticular road on which they gre made,
but they will indicate how better roads
may be built in the future.
