T Asst year a Chica-
- 60 minister made
the startling statement
that people nowadays
are movie mad, that
half of the people in
town are away from
home at night.
The Chicago Tribune
called up twenty peo-
pie, taking the names
at random from the tel
ephone directory. 1t
found eighteen of them
at home. The next day
systematic interview
ing disclosed the fact
that fifteen of the
eighteen were reading
The Daily News when
called up by the Trib-
unc.
Only a small part OF
the people of a big city
could get into the thea
ters at one time, even
if they all decided to
go. People are the
same as they used to
be. After the days
work they like to relax,
with the evening paper
In their hands - and
they do relax, and they
do read the evening pa
per, and they read the
news, the features, the
editorials, the adver-
tisements-and all.
So, If your "Want-
Ad" is one that invites
consideration and dis
cussion. you naturally
place it in the evening
paper

Sands unsuitable for concrete on
account of the presence of loan or
other organic matter are to be inves-
tlgated by the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture and methods OF treatment
devised to make them safe for use.
Until recent years it often happened
that concrete made Of good cement
and well-graded and apparently good
sand, would dlslntegrate and become
worthless. In such cases the poor
quality has been attributed TO all the
different things which go to make a
poor concrete.
A few years ago laboratory work
ers discovered the effect Of organic
matter in sand and devised simple
test to determine its presence In harm
ful quantities. The bureau now hopes
to find methods Of treatment so that
such sands can be used. Samples of
sand from all parts of the country are
desired and anyone is invited to send
in sample in which the presence of
organic matter Is suspected, addressed
