TRENTON, Sept. 11.-New Jersey
stands fourth among the States in the
brick and tile industry, according to
O report today by the State Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment. Middlesex is the largest pro-
ducing county in the State.
The report shows that the total
valuation of the product for 1915 was
SS,197,982, which is $1,795,407 less
than In 1917. The falling off Is ex-
planned by the decreased demand for
building materials during the was last
year and partly because of curtail-
ment of fuel, imposed on clay-working
industries by the Fuel Administration.
A total of ~$4,971,423 In brick was
sold, however. the largest In the
States history. being 5000 more
than In 1917. This was due to the in
creased value of fire brick used by in
dustries stimulated by the war. Com
mon brick suffered a decrease. Total
sales of tile were 1926, $50, which
was $1,860,67 less than in 1917.

of granulated sugar, four tablespoons
of cocoa, two thirds of a cup of milk
and one half a teaspoon of butter. Mix
the sugar cocoa and then add milk
and butter cooking slowly for about
fifteen OF twenty minutes then add
vanilla just enough to flavor and beat
until cold. 1t will be made lots sweet

used instead of milk.
