Principle Not Money

THE refusal to place a cash value
on the services Of the men who served
during the Great War does not in any
way Indicate that the country is obliv-
ious to their service and sacrifice, +"
notes the Rutland Herald. From
the president down, there will not be
found a man mons the opponents of
the bonus who falls to appreciate the
greatness and glory OF what those
men did, not one who will hesitate
to give those men the tribute of hav-
ing offered, on the altar of the ma
ton's need, h greatest sacrifice
that of life itself.
at is rather because We place on
the services of those men a higher
value than that of money hat the
recompense of mere cash has been re-
fused. It is in support OF the theory
of a democracy that in case of need
every able citizen may be called upon
for military service. with or without
wage. that the veto OF the president Is
sustained.
"Once let the principle OF cash re-
ward creep into the necessary defense
OF our country and our soldiers be-
come m~ercenaries and our heroes paid
DULLES The fine sacrifice and patriot
ism OF fighting for the flag disappear
and presently we can depend on no
one to defend that flag but the pro-
fessional soldier, a splendid, trained
product OF our military institutions.
perhaps. but a paid fighter. neverthe-
less, and requiring for the adequate
defense OF the nation a standing army
OF a million men or more.
"Afilitarism in its most offensive
form stalks close behind the standing
army and the money-rewarded soldier.
SO 1t is not a failure to appreciate or
a national parsimony that makes i'm
perarive the right to cali on the citi-
zen ro- national defense and TO refuse
thereafter financial award beyond the
fixed wage of the fighting man
Furthermore. the distribution OF a
mere piece Of change" TO the fight
ing men OF the nation would work no
permanent benefit. 1t gets down to a
small matter OF a few hundred dollars,
at best, certainly no adequate reward

Through
a Sieve
Woven Finer
Than Silk

Portland cement, to meet
the exacting specifications
of leading engineering soci-
cites and the United States
Government, must be
ground so fine that at least
70 per cent will pass a sieve
having 200 wires per linear
inch. A silk handkerchief
has but Ito threads perinch
AN excellent quality of
silk dress goods 1S7threads.
The watch in your pocket hardly
calls for a more complicated and
carefully adjusted process Of manu-
facturet than the making ofcement.
Grinding is only one Of the many
operations required TO make il.
Yet in grinding alone, see what is
required:
The rocks from the quarry, often
as big as a piano and heavier, go
first into a gigantic coffee mill"
1t bites at these huge chunks,
chips them, and finally brushes
them-to pieces six inches or so
in diameter.
Two finer mills follow, one after
the other, reducing the stones to
the size OF coarse sand. After this,
they must be ground in a great re-
volving cylinder half filed with
steel balls, until every cubic foot
OF the rock has been reduced to ID
billion pieces-until IS per cent
OF them will shake through a sieve
that willactually holdwater ,asieve
with 10000 holes to the square
inch.
And ale this is less than half the
necessary grinding. The coal must
be ground. For the object of all
this fine grinding of the raw ma
terials is only that it may be fused
into crystalline clinkers. And to
fuse il requires pulverized coal
or its equivalent. Most plants use
.pulverized coal.
The coal must be ground as fine
as the raw stone. Eighty-6ve per
cent Of it or thereabouts must go
through the sieve that holds
water. And that often means two
grinding operations.
There is still the clinker to be
ground. IL e glass hard to begin
with. 1t must be ground FIRST to the
hneness OF sand, and then ground
and reground in another cylinder
of steel balls-until at least 70 per
cent of it will go through the
sieve woven finer than silk.
Huge powders to an impalpable
dust. Common coal TO an impal-
pable dust, and finally, after the
burning, glass-hard clinker to an
impalpable dust. That is the max
ing of cement. And eight heavy
grinding operations are required
in the process.
Grinding is only one of the lesser
heat and power consuming oper-
atoms in cement manufacture.
