Protection against possible freez-
ing of wet materials in a cement
mixer during cold weather Is obtained
at low cost by using an oil-burning
heater which can be attached to prac-
tically any mixing machine. Such a
device PROFESSIONALLY can save money
for a contractor by making it safe to
operate continuously when the temper
allure is low. says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The heater is provided with
a 25-gallon tank which Is mounted
above the mixer and Is connected by
a pipe with a burner situated at the
opening In the side of the mixing drum.

Chinese Like Automobiles,

American automobiles are rapid
" growing popular In China. Their
use is limited not by the desire of the
wealthy natives to possess them, but
by the total lack of roads outside of
a few city districts. Many of the
wealthy Chinese own several motors,
and in Shanghai it is said to be diff
cult to maintain 4 taxicab business be-
the natives charter all the cars.
The Chinese have also established sew
eral motor driven bus lines. Chinese
chaufeurs are said to be the coolest
and steadiest drivers in the world, but
poor mechanics.

EFFECTS OF NOTED BATTLES
Probable Results II Outcome Had Been
Different, Explained in Book by
English Writer Years Ago.

About 60 years ago an English
writer, Sir Edward Greasy, published q
book which he called '"The Fifteen De-
cisive Battles of the World" His pur-
pose was to describe those great mill
tary events which have had the great
est influence upon human history.
Each battle described, had it re-
suited differently, would have COM
pletely changed the cours of civfliZa-
ton. says the Worlds Work. Had
Charles Martel not have won the bat
tie of Tours, for example. the whole Of
Europe, and hat means also North
and South America, would very likely
have become Mohammedan in religion.
perhaps the Interpretation of the
Koran" says Gibbon. describing the
consequences Of this battle, "would
now be taught in the schools of Ok
ford and her pupils might demonstrate
to the English people the truth Of the
revelation Of Mohamet."
Ten of Creasy's epochal battles have
been fought since the beginning Of the
Christian era. Four of them represent
victories which were won o. French
soil-the battle of ChalOns, A. u. 451 ;
the battle Of Tours. 7332; Joan of Arcs
victory at Orleans, 1920, and the battle
Of Valmy, in 1892. Another was a
great French victory won on English
soil-the battle Of Hastings In 1906.
Two others-the battle Of Blenheim,
in 1904, and the battle of Waterloo in
1S15-were great French defeats. It
appears. therefore, that of the ten
most decisive battles fought in the
Christian era five were great French
victories and two were French defeats.
No other nation has any such military
history as this. This mere record in
dicates the part which France has
played in advancing civilization. So
far as Europe is concerned the great
est events in modern history have
taken place on French soil. At this
lime, when the democratic nations
have Joined hands to deliver France
from the cowardly attack which Ger
many has made upon her. 1t Is well to
keep this fact in mind.
