Cement From Beet Sugar.

A result Of experiments In French
factories Is the production of an excel
lent cement as by-product of beet
sugar refining. The first step In the
production of sugar from bcets Is boil
ing them. 1t has heretofore been Gus
tomnry to throw away us valueless the
scum formed on the caldrons. But 1t
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities Of car
Donate of lime. 1t Is estimated that
1000 tons Of the carbonates can be
recovered from 10000 tons Of beets.
To this quantity of the carbonate 1,1OO
tons of clay Is added. the resultant
product being good cement. The
best scum is pumped into large reser-
volrs and allowed to evaporate for n
certain length of time before being
mixed with the clny. 1t Is then stirred
or beaten for IN hour before being fed
into rotary ovens such rs are used In
making Portland cement.-The Argo-

LESS slNxABLE SHIP COMING
Hull Consists Of Two Parallel cylIn-
drieaI Shells Joined Throughout
Length BY Diaphrasms.

The French government has con-
tracted with the Foundation company,
which is building wooden ships for the
Emergency Fleet corporation, to turn
out for 1t five cargo "nonslnkable
ships" of 1920 tons dead weight.
The hull of these ships. says the
New York Sun. is to consist of two
parallel cylindrical shells Joined
throughout their length by series of
heavily braced ,diaphrngms. Each cyl
indrIcnl shell Is divided not only into
wntertight compartments by trans-
verse bulkheads, but also Is Isolated
entirely from the adjoining shell and
from the senled space between the
two. The latter space. which has a
watertight bottom and deck, is not
used for cargo, but Is provided solely
for reserve buoynncy.
at should not he called an unsink-
able ship" said Mr.. Boero. II would
call 1t rather one of the less sink
able ships. 1t is seldom that ship
has received more than one torpedo.
1t is extremely improbable that ship
will be struck by torpedoes on both
sides. We have tested an expert
mental design thoroughly mt Paris,
and have found 1t entirely satisfac-
tory. The space required for the spe-
cial hull construction does not mate
rally lessen the bulk of cargo that
can be carried. We are convinced
That the ship will keep afloat utter 1t

The Benefit Of War

Out of the staying and hardships OF
war has come good. Statistics Just
compiled show that u per cent OF
former service men re-employed In
their old positions have shown re-
marknble improvement In Initiative.
The same figures show that 81 per
cent were about the same as before
they went to war, and that only !
per cent had lessened In value. This
4 per cent had been employed only
a short time before entering the ser
vice and had merely forgotten what
1t had learned.
Military discipline and the neces-
sity for self representation forced upon
our young men because OF the war
will prove highly beneficial In the
long run. Thousands Of apparently
useless males were taken In hand
and taught the value OF obeying
orders. Thousands were taken from
a realization that there was some
thing better than corner lounginR or
hanging around pool rooms.
AS every cloud IL supposed To have
its silver lining everywhere the
gold standard previls-so the war
has its compensations. And out
standing is the fact that the vast ma
jority OF our men have returned to
their homes better mentally, moral
ly and physically.-New York Com

STRIKERS HERE
Reject PEACE
Railroad Shopmen Hoot
Hines as They Spurn
Wilson Proposal.

Jeering the name of Walker ID.
Hines, Director General Of Railroads,
Washington's striking shopmen voted
unanimously yesterday to disregard
President Wilson's offer, through
Hines. to reopen negotiations with the
men demanding a wage increase.
A suggestion to put the matter
squarely before President Wilson, who
was characterized as one who has
shown himself labor's friend, was
loudly cheered. Practically all striking
members of the Federated Washington
Terminal employees were present and
also a number of strikers from Alex
andrta-
Bert NJ. Jewell, acting president OF
the railroad department OF the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor. asked the
men to reconsider their move.
Answering an attack upon Director
Hines, he told the men that Hines
had gone along so far. Whether he
goes the rest of the way is to be seen,
and is to be dealt with by yourselves"
The federation you are sworn to
uphold advises you to return to
work." said International Vice Presi-
dent Anderson, of the Associated Me
chanics. This strike may melt away
as other strikes have done in the
past. You can save the situation now
by going back to your work. and It
can be done without admitting de
