EMPLOYMENT FOR MILLIONS FROM
PULVERIZED MOUNTAINS
Building Stimulates Local Prosperity
Plentiful and Prices Down

Estate News. Chicago)

Next to farming, local prosperity
depends upon building activity. The
reason Is plain. Building is the coun-
try's second largest industry. 1t EN-
ploys millions Of workers directly, mil
Ions to make the materials for build
ing, and hundreds of thousands In lum-
bering, quarrying and mining.
Everyone knows that building
shortage exists. One way to restore
prosperity then, is by q lively resump-
ton of building. Materials and labor
now are plentiful. Costs are lower.
Cement will serve as q good example
because 1t goes into nearly all build
ing.
For every ton Of cement, 1A tons
of raw materials and coal must be
mined, shipped, assembled, dried,
ground, weighed, mixed and then fused
at about 5000 degrees to a hard
"clinker." This "clinker" must then
be ground again, this time to powder
SO fine that 1870 will pass through a
sieve having 10000 holes per square
inch. To make cement, one literally
must "tear down q mountain and put
1t through q sieve" And yet, cement
sells at the mill for about $500 per
toni These facts caused the United
States Geological Survey a few years
ago to say that zone could not scrape
the free sand from the gutter for
much less cost per BARREL"
Cement Competition Keen.
That competition has been active
is noted In government reports. Ac-
cording to the United States Geological
Survey. the production Of cement has
steadily increased and the price de-
clined. 1t shows that In 1880, cement
sold at $500 barrel average at the
mill; in 1920 at SOP; In 1921, at $1.87.
Now 1t Is selling at many large plants
as low as $3.50 barrel, only half
the average price in 1880, and less
than the average for the 40year period
covered In the government report.
At one of the cOuntry's largest
cement plants the price now Is 4Sh%
higher than In the pre-war year 1913.
The latest report Of the United States
Department of Labor shows the aver
age price Of "all commodities" as
$40 higher than 1913. Some Of the
items whose prices enter into this
figure of $40 have undergone radical
decreases while others are very much
higher than the average Of $40. Few
If any, items of the former class enter
into cement manufacturing costs. but
several items of the latter class dc
affect the cement costs. In fact, the
principal elements In these costs are
labor, freight rates, coal and lime
stone.
In February. 1922, the cement plant
referred to paid for Its coal at mines

MAY MAKE RIVER FOR TESTS
A small river upon which engineer
ing tests can be performed will be Gre
ated at Washington by Government
engineers If a bill introduced in Con-
gress by Senator Ransdell, of Louisi-
ana, is passed.
Engineers believe that the scientific
side of river hydraulics has not kept
pace with the research and experiment
tation which has accompanied other
branches of engineering, and they are
urging the establishment of national
hydraulic laboratory as provided in the
Ransdell bill.
The recent disastrous floods of the
Lower Mississippi, the threatening at
titude of the Colorado river and other
periodic floods in this country are fac
tors that are calling attention to need
of more extensive study of flood con-
troll.

2O3%o more than In 1918, for limestone
at quarries GOO more and for labor
$40 more. Freight rate on coal was
1919 greater and on limestone 500
greater. A comparison of these in
creases with the increase Of 4S1a%
in cement price and $40 In the price
of all commodities" Is enlightening.
Cement Is so widely used that users
themselves have standardized 1t. To-
day every cement maker, regardless
Of his brand, meets the specifications
set Jointly by the United States gov
eminent and the cOuntry's leading en-
cheering societies. All brands Of ce-
ment, therefore, are alike.
Jevon's Economic Law.
Because of this, the prices Of various
brands Of cement In any given market
usually are the same. The reason
for this puzzles many. But the answer
Is simple and we'll stated by w. Stanley
Jevons, l.. L. D., M. A., F. R. s.. In his
standard work "The Theory Of Polit'
ical Economy" which says:
IL III Sclllus Quuhtity "a PCAhSSSAy
equal and uniform barrels Of flour. q
merchant arbitrarily fixed different
prices on them, a purchaser would, OF
course, select the cheaper ones. Hence
follows what Is undoubtedly true
that in the same open market. at any
one moment, there cannot be two prices
for the same article"
Applying Jevon's economic law, Q
simple illustration Of cement competi-
ton may be cited thus: A, B and @ are
cement makers. Each seeks business
at NJ, a town with a 3O-cent freight
rate from A, 35 cents from B and 40
cents from G. This gives A 5.cent
advantage over B and 10 cents over
lC. A figures he can sell at. say, q
mill price Of $3.50, so adds the 80
cents freight and quotes $3.50 at NJ.
| Then II B and G want to do business
at NJ they must meet AS price, reQuir
Ing B to go cents below A In his
mill price and G to go 10 cents below
A In his mill price. Unless B and O
can make the mill price sacrifices re-
quired by the market at NJ as made
by AS $3.50 price, then A will monOpo-
lie the market at NJ.
Similar principles apply to other
materials. Prices are not arbitrarily
made. They are based upon supply and
demand and upon the cost Of transport
tation. raw materials and labor. Sup
ply of labor and materials now 10
H,entiful We cannot afford longer to
delay needed building improvements.
This is particularly true because
building Is so entwined with the ma
tons prosperity that full revival
Of building will hasten q revival Of
other lines of business.

AIR MAIL SERVICE FATALITY
RECORD CLEAR

Not one single fatal accident and
92.5 per cent of scheduled trips actu-
ally completed is the record of the air
mail service for the IL months ending
at midnight June 16. The last fatal
accident occurring in the Aerial Ser
vice of the Postoffice Department was
July 16, 1921. A summary of the
Aerial mail pilots gives better per-
spective of this record.
During the IL months the planes

cisco route, the only one maintained
covered 1,750,000 miles and trans
ported about 50,OO0,OOO letters total
ling ,224 500 pounds.
The department points out that
while routes totalling 62O miles were
discontinued during the year and only
the trans-continental routes of 1850
miles maintained, the air mail service
nevertheless carried the same amount
of mail as it did last year or 70 per
cent more in each air plane load.

Dollars Earned
The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
It is the same in buying Chamberlain
