Stones Absorb Water.

Stone is by no means impervious
to water. some.kinds, notably coarse
sandstones, hold a large percentage.
Even marbles absorb considerable
quantities. The absorptiyc capacity
Of limestones ranges from per cent
or more down to practically zero.
Porous limestones, IN which the pore
space ranges from 10 to Is per cent,
will absorb from 4 to 6 per cent of
water, according to the United States
Geological Survey, Department of the
Interior, whereas semicrystalline and
crystalline limestones or marbles have
lower percentages Of pore space and

from Vermont, Tel nessee, and Geor-

than water owing to its great amount
of pore space, will absorb large guam.
titles of water; obsidian and volcanic
glass, which are of the same chemi
cal composition as pumice stone but
several times heavier than water, will
absorb none. Quartzite, granite, and

Sees Country Sound.
All Want Lower Prices. Says
Statistician, Except AS Reduc-
ton Affects Them Personally.


Cleveland, June q. addressing this
afternoons session of the fifth interna-
tional convention of the Kiwanis Club,
Roger w. Babson, statitician. of Boston,
speaking on "The Business Outlook, 4"
said fundamentally the country is sound
but that there is no improvement in bus
mess conditions in sight before 1922.
Business men believe in the law of
supply and demand" he said, but all
want the law suspended so far as it ap-
plies to their particular business. The
farmer is asking for lower-priced labor,
but wants fair price for his wheat and
corn; the railroads are working for lower
prices for rails, yet want to keep the
cost of transportation fixed; while the
labor leaders are clamoring for reduc-
ton of the cost of living and at the same
time are fighting all wage reductions.
Unless something radical is done, it
will be two or three years before we again
have prosperity. With railroad rates up,
wages up and everything else up, it is
impossible to start prosperity. If rail-
roads would reduce rates, wage workers
reduce wages and retailers reduce prices
until the 600, 900 freight cars now idle
got filled and moving, we could get
started

Big Fire At Hampstead.
Apartment, Garage, Two Stores
Dwelling And 10 Autos
Destroyed By Flames.

A combined apartment house and ga
rage, 10 automobiles, dwelling and two
stores were destroyed, while three other
stores were damaged by fire which
started from some unexplained origin in
the cellar of the garage and apartment
house, in the business section of Hamp-
stead, Md, at o'clock Tuesday morning,
June 2lst.
The extent of the damage has not been
fully ascertained, but it is expected to be
in the neighborhood of $50, 900. Three of
the automobiles destroyed had never
been used.
Samuel E. Keller, owner of the garage
and apartment house, said he made an
inspection of the building at 10 o'clock
Monday night, before he retired to his
home which adjoins the garage building.
and found everything all right. The fire
was discovered by Mrs. Alberta Wheeler.
who with her daughter occupied one of
the apartments over the garage and who
were awakende by smoke. Before leav-
ing the building they awakened Mr.. and
NiAo. "duIiCC anu MI dIu
Claude Rhoten, who occupy the other
two apartments. All of them escaped
uninjured, but all of their personal eff
fects were burned with the building.
The operator in charge of the telephone
exchange summoned firemen from West
minister, Reisterstown and Hanover.
Bucket brigades were formed, but the
blaze spread.
The second building to become ignited
was the home of Mr.. Keller, who, with
Mrs. Keller and their two daughters,
barely escaped from the building before
it became mass of flames. The fire
then quickly ate it's way to the meat
store of William Winks and to Nace's
music store. The contents of the meat
store were destroyed, but everything,
with the exception of piano, was re-
moved from the music store before that
building collapsed.
The fire gained Roadway because of the
difficulties the firemen experienced in get
ting water. The only available water
came from small pond, located at a
considerable distance from the scene of
the fire.
