They acknowledged assaulting White,
who was badly used up with a broken
nose and numerous cuts and bruises

men attempted to take his car from him

Roman Use of concrete-

The Romans discoveries in concrete
mixing made it possible for them to
make prodigious strides in engineer
ing and architecture. At the foot Of
NeSuvius were immense deposits of
reddish sand or volcanic ash called
po2zuolana which. when added to lime
mortar, made hydraulic cement. This
gave to the Romans a concrete of
extraordinary strength and pernan-
ence, which hardened under water as
we'll as in the mir, and became the
basis of their entire system of building.

Mexico Denies Longer
Time for Oil Duties
Payment Due December 25.
and Arrangement Remains
Intact. Saws ObregOn

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 20 (By The
Associated Press ).-President Obregon
In an interview to-day denied the semi
official report that The Mexican gov
ernment had granted an extension of
time for the payment of oil export
duties The extension, he said, re
ferred only to the conversations pro-
ceeding between the Mexican govern
ment, the oil men and bankers.
The President said that an agree
ment arrived at between the govern
ment and the oil interests five months
ago provided that payment of the Gil
taxes should be made on December 25
This arrangement had not been modi-
fed and the oil men must pay on that
date 100000 pesos, to which the
taxes for thir period amount. The con-
versations now going on with the oil
men might bring about revision of
the duties, but these would not be ap-
plicsble for the payment due this
month.
The President expressed the belief
that the negotiations with the oil men
and bankers will be concluded within
a month and possibly by the end of the
year. He added that the independent
oil companies had announced their
willingness to nav
