Big Demand for Cement

''The cement trade Is at a high peak,'' remarked J. K. McCants, general sales agent of the Standard Portland Ce- ment Company, now operated by the Atlas. "The trouble is to supply Che demand No contracts are being entered into on account of the state of order books. A portion of current output is kept for spot purposes, but there Is not near enough to meet the demand
 ITO illustrate, the builders of the Will son dam at Muscle Shoals several weeks ago advertised bids to furnish 100000 barrels of cement. Not bid was made by any concern in the United Statea None of them was in position to accept contract of that magnitude with any sort of guarantee as to time of delivery

Cold Storage

"I am just in from Chicago" said J. Mercer Barnett, and in spite of my ex- perience in the Windy City on Easter Sunday I was foolish enough to get caught again. I was in the near cyclone back in April and it was really something fierce, as it bowled over au- tomobiles and sent pedestrians rolling In the snow. I helped rescue dear old woman who was skidding along on the icy pavements. I made up my mind that never again would I tackle Porko- polls in the cold season.J I ran up last week without thought of it's being cold and I came near freezing to death on the sleeper before I got there. called for 'kiver' until there wasn't any mere and then I piled my heavy over coat on top of the blankets and man aged to keep my blood circulating. The next time I visit Chicago it will be in the good old summer time.'"

RULEs FOR WOMEN SMOKERS

Editor Chicago Herald and Examiner: Sir: Regarding women smoking, may I suggest a solution of the problem? Why not permit women who do mems work to smoke--cigarettes for office girls, pipes for heavy workers and Ha- vana cigars for business women? Women who prefer to be mothers and rear children do not care to smoke. so 1t would be no hardship to bar the weed to them.
 Besides. the ashes would be dropping il the dishwater and the biscuit dough.

Thenceforth relations with the provisional gov crnment grew more strained until finally each side issued proclama- ticn, the provisional government de- claring Cantu a traitor" and an nouncing a campaign for his re- moval. and the Governor seyering his relations with the De la Huerta Government and announcing that he proposed to stand on his rights asi a Mexican citizen and hold hisl office.
