NEW BRICK PLANT
FOR MOL|NO
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Moline, Feb. 16.-After a long per
iod of testing and investigation, the
Dolores Brick Company has at last
concluded contracts with the Baker
Asphalt Company, represented by
John Baker, Jr., of Chicago. Illinois,
for the manufacturing of new pro-
cess brick for paving purposes.
The contracts are to the effect that
the entire output of the Dolores
Brick Company will be taken by the
paving brick concern.
The name for the new paving brick
is "Aspha Bric," and has been tested
in every way and found far super
ior brick for paving. 1t stands the
rattle test of II 1-2 per cent; a far
better percentage than the ordinary
paving brick or wood block. 1t is i'm
pervious to water, and is virtually
sound proof. Climatic conditions
have no effect upon its wearing quail
tiles whatever. The extremes of heat
and cold produce no noticeable eff
feet either in it's composition or pri-
, mary lald condltoln.
The process by which this brick
is made is patented, and all patents
are owned and controlled by John
Baker, Jr., of Chicago. The common
clay brick is enlarged to the regula-
ton brick size, which is 8 12 inches
| by inches by 1-2 inches, and as
phaltum is forced into the compost
ton by special machinery.
Work on the building, or impreg-
mating plant, will start in the next
few days, and the machinery will be
installed just as soon as the build
ing is completed. The new plant will
cost SIS. 900, and will be the only one
in the entire south.
The Dolores Brick Company owns
the largest and most modern equipped
brick manufacturing establishment
south of the Ohio river, and have ar
unlimited amount of clay. It is said
by experts that after a century OF
steady operation there would still be
clay left for years of running.
The new paving brick plant viii
have daily capacity of $4,000 brick
and the present plant has a daily
average of 10000 building brick The
two plants will give employment to g
crew of about 75 men, and will be
operated day and night. This viii
mean that the company will have e
monthly pay roll of something neal
$4,000.
w. P. Brownson, manager Of the
brick company, and his associates are
to be congratulated upon their untir
ing energy and resourcefulness in OBJ
tanning this contract for paving bricl
for their plant. It means a grea
deal for the town of Moline, and Mo
limo is proud to have these kind Of
business men.

GER. COMMERCIAL
COMPANIES PROFIT

Berlin, Feb. 16.-Notwithstanding
that the two great war loans of 1916
absorbed over q billion marks, more
capital also went into German COM
mercial companies than in 1915. The
total amount absorbed by new and old
companies was 616,800,OOO marks.
This wac 148,0O0,OOO more than for
1915, but it was 529,OOO,OOO less than
for 1913. The new concerns estab-
lished last year were chiefly of the
war industry class; and this is also
true of capital increases by existing
companies.

Paris, Feb. 16.-Ncisier streets will

The municipal paving block factory at

''The Sultana" At the Bonita.

The Sultana" At the Bonita.
Great interest is shown in the an
nouncement that the attaction at the
Bonita theatre on Monday will be
Ruth Roland in "The Sultana," five
reel comedy melodrama in natural
colors. The picture was produced in
California by Balboa, from Henry C.
Rowland's we'll known book of the
same name, with a fine supporting
cast, including William Conklin, R.
Henry Grey, Daniel Gilfether, Frank
Erlanger, and Edward J. Brady.
Every Ruth Roland picture has
been success. She is remembered
for her splendid work in the "Who
Pays" series, ''The Red Circle serial
and number of Gold Rooster fea-
lures, including ga Matrimonial
Martyr" also IN Pathecolor, in which
she played dual role.
Manager Jones says that every pic
ture in Pathecolor had been enthus-
iastically rerceived by the public.
Many people who would not go to
see an ordinary motion picture will
undoubtedly go to the Bonita theatre
to see one in colors. Aside from the
advantages lent by Pathecolor, Ruth
Roland, the famous author, and the
popularity of his book, "The Sui
tana," is an interesting and exciting
story, which has a large appeal to
motion picture fans.
'The Sultana" is a priceless Jewel,
and the story centers around the
weird effect it has on the destinies of
all who come with the radiance of
its dazzling rays. The action be-
gins midst the whirl of the gambling
wheel, and the clink of gold, where,
temporarily at least, Dame Fortune
refuses to smile on the hero.
The midnight son of the House of
Kirkland makes a wager with his
eliminates that he can steal the Sui
tana from its owner, and then return
it to him without his knowing who
took it. The Sultana changes hands
rapidly. once at the cost of a human
life. There is crisp action through
every foot, and thrills and romances
have been worked into a scenario of
/ pleasing balance, with suspense con-
| ssistently sustained throughout.

WILL REJECT
in SEATTLE

SEATTLE, July 2S.-Striking
carmen this morning predicted an
rejection OF the
traction company's offer of peace,
at a mass meeting to be held at z
o'clock this afternoon.
The agreement, it is predicted,
will be rejected because 1t refuses
to recognize the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION of Street and Electric
Railway Employees and because 1t
proposes to arbitratey the reinstate-
ment of the seven men discharged
in Tacoma for joining the union.
The company presented the
agreement to the conference COM
mittee of four Seattle and three
Tacoma strikers, after six hours
wait yesterday afternoon, which
followed the rejection of pro-
posal for settlement made by the
Tacoma branch of the company
and signed by seven employees
there yesterday morning.

The hole in which the charge
of dynamite was exploded, 1t is
said, was made too shallow be-
cause the rock was hard, and in
stead of spending its force up-

Heart Broken, Mother of
Baby Bollinger Is Dead;
Another Baby Is Saved

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Operat-
hing to save the life of an infant
contrary to the wishes of the
father, who preferred to "let ma
ture take its course" surgeons at
the Jewish maternity hospital
saved the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Levine. Today it was
said the baby has a chance to
grow to be a healthy, normal
man.
The baby was born Thursday
morning. An immediate opera
ton was imperative. Certain or
gans of its body were closed so
they could not function.
The father said not to oper-
ate, inclining to the theory of Dr..
Haiselden, the Chicago physician,
that it was useless to prolong the
infants life under the circum-
stances. But it was decided to
operate in spite of the father.
The father, physicians said, ap-
parently could not grasp that this
case was different from that OF
the deformed infant in Chicago.
The Levine baby is well formed
and sturdy. He has an extra
thumb on one hand, but surgeons
say IL can be taken off so no sign
of it's presence will remain.

The first round of the legal
fight in which the public service
commission is seeking to compel
the r. II. & =. Co. and striking
trainmen to give street car service,
was lost by the corporation Satur-
day morning.
Judge Mitchell, of the Thurston
county superior court, who was
called in to try the case, decided
that the point raised by F. ID. Oa&-
ley, attorney for the company, that
the public service commission
could not take the matter into
court without having had a hear

not well taken.
1T may not he necessary to de-
termine if the public service COM
mission has power to modify or
change anything the legislature
may state specifically as to rates,
rules or regulations" said Judge
Mitchell, because it is apparent
that if anything is required by
statute, even if the commission
has power to change it, the law
is operative and must be enforced
until it is changed

CHICAGO, July 2S.-The final
chapter in the death of Baby Boil
Finger, whose life DR.. II. J. Haisel-
den refused to save in 1915 be-
cause of the child's hopeless de-
formity, was written today with
the announcement of the mother 5
death, due, her husband believe,
to broken heart.
The Bollinger case received ad-
ditional notoriety only a few days
ago when Baby Meter, a similarly
imperfect infant, was allowed TO
die by DR.. Haiselden.
The shock of the infants hope
