Next TO farming local prosperity
depends upon building activity. The
reason is plain. Building is the coun-
trys second largest industry. 1t en-
ploys millions Of workers directly, mil
Ions to make the materials for build
ing, ard hundreds al thousands In lum-
berlng, quarryin.; and mining.
Everyone knows that a building

prosperity then. is by lively resump-

For every ton Of cement, IL tons
of raw materials and coal must be
mined, shipped, assembled. dried.
ground. weighed, mixed and then fused
at about 5000 degrees to q hard
"clinker." This "clinker" must then
be ground again, this time to a powder
so fine that 1870 will pass through a
sieve having 10000 holes per square
inch. To make cement, one literally
must "tear down mountain and put
It through q sieve" And yet, cement
sells at the mill for about $500 per
ton! These facts caused the United
States Geological Survey 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 $2.O2; in 1921. at $1.87.
Now It is selling at many large plants
as low as $3.50 q barrel, only half
the average price In 1880. and less
than the average for the 40-year period
covered In the government report.
At one of the c0untry's largest
cement plants the price now is 48M%
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
51@o higher than 1918. 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 518o. Few.
# any. items Of the former class enter
INTO cement manufacturing COSTS hut
several items OF the latter class do
affect the cement costs. In fact. the
principal elements In these costs are

FLASHLIGHTS START BEE WAR
Naturalist In Charge Of Honeymakers
Consequently Has Her opinion
Concerning Photographers

ST." said Miss Lucille B. Berg, nat
uralist, dabbing baking soda on a
half score red bumps on hand and
wrist, "there is one thing law-abid-
ing, Industrious honey bee loathes, it's
a photographer"
'.How comeT inquired an inquirer,
lifting polite eyebrows.
Flashlights" said Miss Berg, en-
phatically. And 1t was flashlights that
started a carnival of self-arranged
slaughter and sent two or three
hundred children and their mothers
and teachers milling around a great
glass cage in loop department store
Inside the Showcase" was glass bee
hive and swarm of sure-enough bees.
The swarm belongs to the Society
for Visual Education and is part Of
nature exhibit installed in the store. 1t
was brought from the Evanston studio
of the society by Miss Berg
The buzzers were lured from their
winter coma by warmth and food and
set to work making honey in the glass
cage for the instruction of public
school pupils. Photographers taking
pictures of. the exhibit aroused the
swarm and hundreds began fighting.
The colony broke up into pairs which
dashed and clawed and stung until
scores lay dead on the floor.
While the excited insects were
emerging from the hive Miss Berk
opened little door in the outer cage
and sought to close the entrance. In
an instant her hand and wrist were
covered with angry bees which drove
their daggers into her flesh.
Children and mothers and teachers
danced about sQueaking warnings. Miss
Berg finally abandoned her effort and
the bees fought until exhausted.-Chi-

CAN MAP ROCKS FROM AIR
Aviator's Cooperation With Geoioglst
Is Lucky to Prove Of Enormous
Value Commercially.

The geologist of the future may use
the airplane in searching for minerals
in unprospected country. At the meet
ing of the Canadian Institute of Mining
and Metallurgy in Ottawa, e. l.. Bruce
declared that he is enthusiastic over
the possibilities of airplane mapping
and that on a trial flight he had been
able to recognize easily the most strik-
ing geological formations.
From the air 1t is possible to tell
various areas by their color and by the
general surface features that are char
acteristic of sections of country under
lain by different types of rock" he
said. Granite can be distinguished
from those rocks which are more
favorable to the occurrence OF
economic minerals. Use of airplanes
will relieve the geologist of vast
large part of his time. Areas of
granite which are not important
economically, and those areas of deep
glacial cover where no rocks are ex-
posed could be eliminated. 1t would
thus free him for the exploration of
the areas of promising rocks, and so
extend the field covered by each sea-
sons operations. 1t wOuln, moreover,
give him an idea Of the most ad-
vantageOus points for inland traverseS
and would show him the position of
inland lakes which might be of use
to him in fixing the boundaries of
formations"

Eagles Dislike AIrplanes.

Eagles are very jealous of the air-
planes rivalry to their age-long mon
arehy Of the air. One pilot, recently
flying down over Scotland toward Eng
land. suddenly saw an eagle make q
ferocioas swoop at him. 1t dashed
right into the whirling propeller and
pbroke one of the blades, forcing the
pilot to make an awkward landing in
an unsuitable COUNTRY. Another eagle,
after wheeling around O monoplane,
evidently seeking for vulnerable
spot, flew down directly at the pilot
In his cockpit. Luckily he had pistol
close at hand, and drove away the bird
with a succession Of shots

RUN BY MECHANICAL PILOT
Experiment Recently Made In England
Declared to Have Been an
Enthusiastic Success.

A writer in the London Mail de-
scribes how a mechanical air pilot,
the first to be fitted to an air express
flying regularly on the crOss-channel
airway, was demonstrated at the Lon
don air station, Croydon.
A giant twin-engined Farman Coli

with II other passengers, and, stand
ing beside the pilot, watched the wOn-
derful mechanical brain in operation.
After climbing to height of about
1000 feet, the pilot removed his hands
and feet from the controls, and, lean
ing back in his seat, hands in pockets,
let the mechanical pilot take charge

Materials

203% more than in 1913, for limestone
at quarries 500 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 4S3a%
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 well 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:
"If in selling quantity Of perfectly
equal and uniform barrels of -four. a
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, a
simple illustration Of cement competi-
ton may be cited thus: A, B and @ are
cement makers. Each seeks business
at NJ. town with 30-cent freight
rate from A, IS cents from B and 20
cents from @. This gives A a 5-cent
advantage over B and 10 cents over
G. A figures he can sell ut, say, a
mill price Of $3.50, SO adds the 80
cents freight and quotes $3.50 at NJ
Then IL B and @ want to do business
at NJ they must meet AS price, requir.
ing B to go 8 cents below A In his
mill price and @ 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 M 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 transpOr.
tation, raw materials and labor. Sup
ply of labor and materials now is
plentiful. We cannot afford longer to
delay needed building improvements.
This Is particularly true because
building is so entwined with the ma
tion's prosperity that full revival
of building will hasten q revival Of
other lines Of business.
