Two Billion Bricks a Year.

At the annual meeting of the Amer{
lean Ceramic society, j. B. Shaw Of
Alfred, N. Y, told of some very suc(
cessful tests he had made in MAKING
paving brick from blast furnace slag(
These bricks were worth about SD
per thousand in 1915. They may I'D

furnace Stag at cost Of S. to 81 ped

present available about 100000 ton1
Of Stag annually in the United Statest
after leaving 100000 tons for cement
manufacture. This would provide
1000, 100000 bricks for permanent good
roads every year-say, for 1000 miles
annually of 60-foot road.
Time and again failure has been eng
countered In the effort to make pavind

HONORED BY TURKS
American Missionary Is Given the
Order of Red Crescent.
Heroism Displayed In Care Of Wounded
and Sick Wins Recognition
From Officials.

The Turks at Sivns have honored
Miss Mary Louise GRAHAM, an Ameri-
can missionary. by presenting her with
the order of the Red Crescent for her
devotion to the care of the wounded
and sick.
The Red Crescent is Turkish or
ganization corresponding to the Red
Cross.
When the war broke out Miss Graf
fam was at the head Of the American
boards system of schools for girls In
Sivas and its outstations. Early in
that first terrible winter Erzerum, 200
niles away and near the battle line,
became one fever camp from typhus.
The Sivas missionaries offered to send
a group of helpers, including DOCTORS
pharmacists. nurses, ETC., to the Red
Cross of Erzerum. Miss GRAHAM was

cold and storm. took three weeks.
The day after they got there. Mrs.

that her husband. physician. lay
dying of typhus in u village AZ the
front Miss GRAHAM went with her
| through deep snow, fording unknown
rivers at night and within sound of
cannon most Of the way. The doctor
died and it took the women two days
to get back to Erzerum.
The need was so great that Miss
| ~, 20 eli oh

with hospital work gained only from
casual observation, was put in charge
of a hospital for Turkish officers. Here
for four months she filled a difficult pc
sition successfully.

American had to &C on alone. The
inns were full of typhus, the roads
lined with bodies of dead and dying
people and horses. knowing that NJ
one could be sent to meet her unless
absolutely necessary, she wrote Siva'
that If she became i'll of the fever she
would be conscious for two days ant
would wire for help. Then she trav

Then came the deportations. AL

were ordered south. Miss GRAHAM
after much urging Of the vail, secured
permission to start with them. Sh'

When the other American mission

FRENCH IN ALGERIA

Any Town in France.

In Their Flowing White
Garments.

There are more French soldiers to
be seen in Oran than in any town In
France. Those in France are Mt the
front or in the points Of concentration
near the front. They are there right
enough, but one does not see them
at the front--because they are in the
trenches. But in Algeria 1t is differ
ent. The streets are full Of soldiers;
so the cafes, the street cars. the stores,
the docks, the public gardens. The Of
,1cial figures give the population of
Oran at 10000. To the casual visitor
there seem to be at least half as many
soldiers besides. %.
And they are all French--French or
French colonial, not allied troops.
Besides, the casual, familiar army

black-braided Jackets, sashes and
blouses, however, are unchanged.
There are the Chasseurs d'Afrique-
the African light cavalry-with SKYE
blue uniforms and red fezes. the most
elegant Of French military horsemen.
More gorgeous however, are tho
''tirailleurs," the sharpshooters, equal1
ly in sky-blue uniforms, faced with
yellow, and also wearers Of fezes. ON
active service this magnificence is sup
planted by khaki and khaki fezes upon
which star and crescent indicate that

More characteristic of the country are
/ the "spahis'-M ohammedan troops, OK
ficered by Frenchmen. They wear
flowing scarlet cloaks and the soldiers
wear turbans and native costumes; tho
officers, unequal to coping with tho
turban, content themselves with fezes,
but sacrifice nothing of the resplendent
scarlet cloak. The most picturesques
and the most numerous, are tho
"goums," the Arab cavalry regiments
raised by the Arabs themselves. They
wear the flowing white garments, thu
"bournous" Of the desert.
At tea time any sunny afternoon the
Boulevard Seguin, the principal street
of Oran, is crowded with these uni-
forms, and more besides. The terasse
of the Cafe Continental hasn't va
