Concrete Facts About Concrete
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKlN

bricklayer of England, Joseph Aspdin,
took out a patent for what he called
Portland cement. He gave it this
name because when hardened it re-
sembIed the famous stone found on
the Isle of Portland off the coast of
England. Aspdin's patent specified
that definite amounts of clay and
limestone be used, and described the
process of amalgamating and clarity
ing these two materials in the manu-
fact-re of his product. This. consti-
tutes the distinction between natural
and Portland cements
Few attempts were made to produce
Portland cement in the United States
until about 1870. During. the 70's,
however, plants were operated at sew
eral points, including Wampum and
Coplay, Pa, Kalamazoo, Mich; South
Bend, Ind, and Rockport Me.
The remarkable growth of the in
dustry and the consequent develop
ment of new uses. for the material is
best known by the annual output fig
ures. In 1880 production of Portland
] cement in the United States was only
AZ 900 barrels in 1890 it was 335, 000
barrels; in 1900, 8,4S2,0 20 barrels; in
1910, 76,549,951 barrels and in 1920
| 100,302,000 barrels.
1 One hundred million barrels of &c
ment-the 1920 output-would be sui
| ficient to build nine transcontinental
highways, eight inches thick and Is
| feet wide, from New York to San Fran
cisco. Or it would build 1000, 900 six
room concrete houses with a porch
and sidewalk thrown in. Or it would
build 231a pyramids like those Of
Egypt, or it would build a sidewalk five
feet wide and four inches thick thai
would reach from Washington to the
moon-a distance of 243,000 miles
! The quantity of the output is shown
by the fact that in 1921 the industry
required nearly 100000 tons of coal

featuring a barrel of cement varies

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Is,
mere Is dash of romance and fairy
story theme in the commonplace chugj
ara rattle of the concrete mixer Ev-
eryone is conyersant with the ordin-
airy uses of Portland cement Per
maps some first impressions of this
material date back to the delights of
coasting on 4 bicycle over the even
surface of cement sidewalk-backj
III the days when cement sidewalks
were considered more or less of a
luxury. Perhaps it was a cellar floor,
or foundation, or the sight of work
men mixing cement mortar. Years ago
cement was an established member of
the construction family, but the de-
velopment of its uses during the last
few years has been so varied and re-
markable that it is doubtful if the
average citizen has even the remotest
idea of it.
The historical incident which
brought about the need for Portland
cement was the construction of the
Eddystone Lighthouse in the English
Channel in 1856 by an engineer named
John Smeaton, who while looking for
a mortar for this purpose discovered
| that an impure limestone containg
certain amount of clayey matter con-
tanned hydraulic properties when
calcined, or roasted. The cement
used by Smeaton marked the begin
ming of modern cement making prac-
tice, but the early cements were diff
| ferent from the Portland cement of
! today, for natural cements depend on
nature to prepare their material and
are consequently restricted to the
rocks having the proper proportions
of materials in their makeup, and any
variatios in the composition cannot be
regulated.
/ Smeaton's discovery apparently
stimulated interest in the industry.
About 1896 James Parker of North
fleet, England, patented process for
manufacturing cement by turning i'm
pure limestone almost to vitrification
in ordinary lime kilns, and grinding
the resulting clinker to powder. He
gave this material the name of Roman
! cement. In France there had been
/ experimentation along similar lines.
/ The first recorded manufacture of
this product in the United States was
in 1919 in Madison county, N Y, for
the Erie Canal project and was de-
veloped by Benjamin Wright and
| Canvass White. All of the above ce-
ments may be classed as natural ce-
ment because they were prepared by
! burning a natural rock without pre-
vious preparation, and by grinding the
/ burned product to a fine powder.

An nutidy People

When the American. people go any,
where for an outing. they always neeo
some one to pick up after them. we
do not know whether in this regard
Americans are different from other
people or not: we suspect that people
everywhere are likely to manifest care
less and untidy tendencies when they
feel that they will not thereby damage
their own possessions or cause them
selves discomfort. Indeed some OF the
persons who leave newspapers in pub
lie parks or on public beaches, or bot
ties and tin cans in the pleasant FOR
est glades where they have picnicked.
may not fully realize that they are do
ing anything reprehensible. Perhaps
litter does not offend their eyes very
much, and 1t does not occur to them
that it may offend the eyes OF others.
More often the persons who leave
newspapers, banana peels, bottles. tin
cans, paper bags and other rubbish by
the roadside or in the parks do it be-
cause Of laziness and piggishness.
Industrial necessity is a defiler OF
beauty. Mills and factories have de-
stroyed the loneliness Of many a
stream; the sawmill has ruined many
a beautiful hillside: and to at least
some of these ravages it is necessary
to submit.
But the pleasure seeker need not
spoil the scene in which he takes his
pleasure. 1t should be point Of per-
soral pride with him as we'll as civic
duty to leave such place at least
none the worse for his presence

strikers and enforce the running OF
craftmans shops, would mean civil
disturbance to which the situation
in England's big strike was as moth
ing A bit of give and take were far
better than this.
We believe that in six months, the
procedure of the President. his evil
dence of the virtue of patience, will
have won the approval Of the Ameri-
can people as they fail to do at pre-
sent. When Lady Aston spoke in
New York last April in reference to
Lloyd George, she said that he had,
supreme over all statesmen, the vir-
tues of patience. But that out Of
what seemed despair and opposition
he always found the better way, the
peaceful way, the diplomatic way.
The agreement to end the rail
strike in the case of several of the
great railway systems, the settle
ment of the coal strikes. the clean
ing up of the situation in a big way,
are all signs of a clearing away of
the clouds. 1t has been bad; it might
have been worse 1t might easily have
been worse. And it is significant that
those who most strongly urge fight"
are those who would have no blows

WARNS AGAINST DeVALERA

Confirmation of the opinion that
fanatical zeal rather than reason or
any commcndable purpose sustains
the Irish irrcgnlars in their apparent
ly hopeless struggle comes from
many sources. A recent interview
with the Catholic bishop of Buffalo
after three months spent in Ireland
is the moro impressive because Of his
intimate knowledge of affairs there
and the further fact that he was
very friendly with DeValera during
that leaders, visit in this country.
He declared the irregulars to be a
handful of misguided erratic persons
whose bent has diverged along the
line OF banditry. Ninety-nine per
cent OF the people would uphold the
treaty rlado by Collins and Griffith
II expressing their belief. He de-
clared the Free Staters had con-
fdence in England. whose forbear-
ance and sincerity in this matter
were appreciated by the Irish and
were binding Ireland to her. The
soul OF Ireland is right, he says. and
crime outside that which lis being
committed in the name OF patriotism
is absent.
He was told that the irregulars
were determined 10 bring the British
lack and he warned friends OF Ire
land against giving any support to
their cause. He declared that the
course they are pursuing cannot be
justified b. any code OF political
ethics or Christian morality.

Editor OF the Kennebec Journal.
Dear Sir:
While making my regular morn

brew bottles. tin tobacco boxes. and
other litter, the worst of which con-
slsts of thousands of little bits of
paper that some one had torn I'D
ana scattered over the ground of the
City park, that have had the care
or now for three seasons. the
thought has occurred to me several
times to write up a little item for
the paper about the class of people
that make that place look like a
fooSs paradise, but in the meantime
l came upon an item in the Youths
Companion upon the same subject.
entitled AN 'Untidy People," which
I thought would fill the bill better
than anything that could write.
I am sending you a copy of that
with mine. hoping that you will do
me the favor to drop it into your
letter box. But would not forget
to use this opportunity to mention
the fact that there are others who
use the park on rare occasions who
are richly deserving Of praise and
compliment. Doubtless some Of
them were on journey and stopped
at the noon hour to eat their lunch
on the park, and noticed how very
carefully they gathered UP all the
fragments and litter, such as banana
and orange peels. sardine and candy
boxes, papers, strings, wrappers, pa
per napkins and such like, and
damned them all into a paper bag
and set it under a settee, and 1t
really made me a better man to
even look at the place where they
had been. Though they had pur-
sued their journey and 1 did not see
them. vet their works do fellow
them. Such people make life's
shining circle shine all the brighter,
having been here. But after all, 1t

GETTING BACK TO PRE-WAR

Those who have bcen saying the
Government should get down to a

because they could or would not.
Those who have done SO are Of the
opinion that if VIC take into account
the natural increase in demands from
the regular agencies of government.
the increased cost of labor and ma
terials, the interest on the great debt
and all that, we already are practi-
cally back on the pre-war basis.
But here are some of the expendi-
lures which may not be avoided,
either by a Republican or by
Democratic Administrations: the in
crease in interest of the public debt

they could assume TO look upon work
as degrading. Usually they were
those whose forbears had accumu-

fed. Naturally the slave holding
peoples came 10 regard any sort Of
manual labor as beneath them. The
people who expected and were willing

appears to be a revival OF that old
spirit Of contempt for work. wide
