took up the Importance of the ma
terial in the making. quoting "'Tis
with mems minds as tits with their
watches, each one believes his own"
Some engineers and some contract
ors believe in quantity. no matter
how much or how cheap. He allud-
ed in this respect to the conception
of the contractor, the builder and
the common people. Factors, he
said, are most important to the
strength of concrete. Concrete is
dependent upon it's mixing, aging
and seasoning.
In speaking of the sands of the
different parts of the country, he
told in detail the difference found
between that of Canada, the north
United States, and that of the
South. Difference in water has it's
effect upon the construction some
water has more alkali than others,
thus the aftermath. Regarding
mixing" to which subject he de-
voted much time, he said that upon
tests quite thoroughly made the

proportioning is unfair and not prac-
teal. AT this point Mr.. Edwards paid
a glowing tribute to the work and
results of tests made by Professor
Abrahams of the Lewis Institute.
The latter part of Mr.. Edwards adj
dress was taken up with an illus
trative discourse on construction,
mixing and proportioning, using
charts and finally the stereopticon.

HOW TO STOP WAR

BY the Right Honorable Lord Riddell
representative of the Newspaper
proprietors Association of London,
and Press Liaison Officer of the
British Delegation to the Confer
ence on Limitation Of Armament.
copyright, 1921, by the Federal
Council of Churches:)
Washington, Dec. 22.-There IS
only one way to stop war-the peoples
of the world must determine that they
will have peace. If they do, we won
have any more wars; unless they do,
we will not be able to prevent war.
1t is very foolish to think you are
going to change the world all at once
One thing to do is to create the spirit
OF peace among the coming genera
tons. Teach the children so that
when they grow up they will not want
war.
The trouble with peace movements
in the past and the many attempts TO
put a stop to wars has been that they
have started at the wrong place.
They have started with statesmen and
governments. It has always been
assumed that when resolutions have
been passed the matter was settled.
Since coming to America have
been particularly impressed and deep
w interested in the work OF the
churches in behalf Of peace. Their
campaign of educational publicity
through the Federal Council Of the
Churches of Christ in America has
been one of the most effective pieces
of work in behalf of peace that have
seen. Through the newspapers 1t

much to the Conference on Limitation

ing could be simpler.
| am reminded Of Clemenceau's re-
marks when he became head of the
French government during the war
and said to the people of France:
1--WE must all help; then when vic
tory comes, every man, woman and
child in France cay say with the sol
der in the trenches, 1 too was there .
This is the kind Of publicity that
counts and will get results. The
churches should continue this work
and other interested organizations
should adopt this plan of placing the
responsibility on the individual. As
