l is derived from the Greek word
agnos, meaning sacred" "pure," and
comes into usage through the Latin
word for lamb which is ngnus. The
lamb was the symbol Of the Roman
maiden whose place of martyrdom
named the Church of Saint Agnese.
Pilgrimages are made there and it is
said that the gentle saint has appeared
to supplicants, in human guise with
a lamb of purest whiteness by her
side. Each year, two lambs are
brought to the pope and blessed In
the Church Of Saint Agnese; then
they are shorn and the wool is spun
and woven by the nuns into pals
presented by the pop, to each pri-
mate.
Agnes or Agnese, is in popular
usage as a proper name in England,

Concrete Finds
Many New Uses

ures. In 1880 production of Portland
cement in the United States was only
AZ. 900 barrels; in 1890 it was 335,OOO
barrels; in 1900, S,4S2,O2O barrels; in
1910, 76,549,951 barrels and In 1920,
1OO,3O2, 900 barrels.
One hundred million barrels of ce-
ment-the 1920 output-would be suf-
ficient to build nine transcontinenta
highways, eight inches thick and eigh-
teen feet wide from New York to San
Francisco. Or it would build LOCO, 900
six-room concrete houses with porch
and sidewalk thrown in. Or 1t would
build twenty-three and one-half great
pyramids like those Of Egypt. Or 1t
would build sidewalk five feet wide
and four inches thick that would reach
from Washington to the moon-a dis
tance of 243,OOO miles.
The quantity Of the output Is shown
by the fact that in 1921 the industry
required nearly 100000 tons Of coal.
The amount Of coal burned in manu-
featuring barrel of cement varies
from $50 to 200 pounds, so that when
purchasing a sack Of cement the con-
sumer is paying for nearly fifty
pounds Of coal.
Almost any one who builds nova
days uses concrete in some form or
other. Concrete piles are the founda-
lions Of thousands Of our large office
buildings and the same material goes
into the skeleton and framework. In
bungalow or skyscraper, concrete Is
as common to the contractor as flour
is to the baker.
During the last ten years Portland
cement has revolutionized the paving
industry. Thousands Of miles Of con
crete roads have been built and every
year sees an increasing number con
tracted for. Last year almost 6,OO(
miles Of 18-foot concrete highway wer'
constructed In this country. Cit!
streets are paved with concrete. alley
are paved with the same material
curbs and cutters, sidewalks, fenc'
posts, ornamental lighting standards
park benches, statuary, swimming
pools-into every sort of civic improve

other.
Portland cement has accomplishe

kind of cement that paves his roads
and gives him access to his market
is used in constructing his house an
barns. It is used for silos and waite
troughs, replacing the old wood strut

The eye is a haven at which the
treasure fleets that sail through the

stores deposited in the vaults of the

knowledge are for the eye, love and
music for the ear. Hearing often

sight, with richer benedictions at

tuned by sympathy, moving to the
modulations of intelligence and love,
