HONOR FOR DIR. BLAIR.

DR.. J. F. Blair was recently
made a Fellow Of the Ameri-
can College of Surgeons, an
honor which comes to but few
men of his profession. An
added feature Of the honor
which has come to DR.. Blair
is the fact that the Fellowship
was conferred upon him with
out examination and came as
a most agreeable surprise. 1t
is in recognition of his ad-
vancement in the profession
and the contributions made
by him to surgery that he has
won this much coveted prize.
DIR. Blair is chief of staff at
the Deaconess Hospital.

Practically 90 per cent Of
the o5,OOO,OOO barrels of
portland cement shipped
last year was delivered in
returnable cotton sacks.
To supply users Of cement
promptly, the industrym must
have about 2OO,OOO,OOO
sacks either on hand or in
use.
The sack method Of ship
ping is most convenient.
There are four sacks to a
barrel. Each sack contains
"a pounds of cement-a
cubic foot. And a cubic
foot is a handy volume in
proportioning concrete
mixtures.
When cement is shipped, thesacks
are billed to the purchaser. When
they are returned, they are bought
back at the same price if they are
in disable or repairable condition.
This involves much work in
checking, cleaning, sorting and
repairing.
But in spite Of the fact that every
good cement>sack is redeemable,
100000 Of the sacks shipped
everyyear fail to come back-aloss
OF nearly $5,0O0,00O a year at
present prices Of new sacks.
To replace these "lost, strayed or
stolen" sacks requires annually
over 10000 bales Of cotton, Il re-
quires that the textile industry
weave strip Of cloth 30 inches
wide and 1900 miles long. 1t
means that 1900 looms are kept
working full time for a year.
Thousands Of sacks returned to
the cement mills for redemption
are damaged, yet accepted for
credit, if they can be repaired.
This repair is done by the cement
manufacturer at his own expense.
A medium sized plant shipping,
say 1000 900 barrels Of cernenta
year, has to repair an average Of
5000 sacks per day from among
those returned for credit. This
keeps E people constantlyworking
at rapidly operated electric sew.
ing machines. In a million barrel
a year plant, % people are con-
stantly employed sorting, counting
repairing and otherwise caring fos
returned sacks so that they may
again be used.
AT the present time $3O,00O,0 900
would be a conservative estimate
Of the investment which the ce-
ment industry has in cotton sacks.
Sacks are one Of the lesser, but
nevertheless important items in
the cement industry.
