GOOD CEMENT MADE
FROM BEET SUGAR

A result of experiments in French
factories is the production of an
excellent cement as by-product of
beet-sugar refining. The first step
in the production of sugar from beets
is boiling them. 1t has heretofore
been customary to throw away as
valueless the scum formed on the
caldrons. But it has now been dis
covered that this scum contains large
quantities of carbonate of lime. 1t is
estnsated that 1000 tons of the car
Donates can be recovered from TO-
900 tons of beets. To this quantity
of the carbonates LOO tons of clay
is added, the resultant product being
good cement. The best scum is
pumped into large reservoirs and al
lowed to evaporate for a certain
length of time before being mixed
with the clay. 1t is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being
fed into rotary ovens such as are
used in making Portland cement.

WOMEN TO HAVE
FULL VOTE ON
LABOR BOARDS

WASHINGTON, Oct. s. A sup
Elementary order just issued by the
U. S. Employment Service gives the
women members of the community
labor boards full voting powers on
all questions that may come before
the boards. This order, which is
signed by Director-General Dens-
more, amends General Order BIS, is
sued September by Assistant Direc-
tor-General N. A. Smyth, which
brought forth protests by women's
organizations and women leaders
from all parts of the country.
Mr.. Smyth's order, issued in the
absence of the Director General, re-
stricted the powers of the women
members of the boards to a vote
on questions affecting the utilization
of women in industry, although the
men members of the boards have
the right to vote on all questions, in
Guiding those affecting women. Suf-
fragists, women voters and trade
union women Immediately protested
the restriction upon the women's
vote, both as violation of the prin-
ciple of equality and as dangerous
to women's interests particularly by
reason of the fact that it denied
them voice in naming the per-
sonnet of the local employment Of
fees.
The women members of the COM
munity labor boards are to be ap-
pointed by the District General of
the U. S. Employment Service after
consultation, respectively, with the
local labor organizations and the To-
cal employing interests.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

(By Col. John McCrae)
In Flanders fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we
lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe,
To you from falling hands we throw
The torch-be yours to hold it high.
If we break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep tho peoples grow
In Flanders fields.
The war will not be over till it
ends. Buy Liberty Bonds and hast
en- the end.
