changes occur in the presence of heat,
pressure and moisture. and result in the
formation of hydro-silicates of calcium
and magnesium.
The sand used in the manufacture OF
sand-lime brick should be comparatively
pure and preferably with some variation
in the size of the grains. The mixture
of lime. sand and water, is cut out in
the form of bricks and conveyed to a
hardening cylinder adapted for the pur-
pose. The sand-lime brick are placed
in this cylinder and subjected to pres
sure and temperature which varies ac-
cording to the method of treatment.
With a pressure of about two atmos-
pheres and temperature of 125 de-
grees C, the duration of exposure in the
cylinder should be about seventy-two
hours. With steam pressure of seven
to ten atmospheres and ITO to 175 c, six
to ten hours exposure is usually suffi-
Gent. The sand-lme brick manufac-
tured in Texas during 1920 was valued
at S113,5S3.
Concrete Building Blocks. Hollow Blocks
or Artificial Stone.
The materials for the manufacture OF
concrete building blocks are sand. gravel,
or crushed stone. and cement. The sand
intended for uSe in making cement
blocks should be sharp and angular.
Coarse-grained sand is preferred to fine
grained. A mixture of coarse and fine
grained sand. however, gives excellent
results, and requires less cement, since
the relative proportion of voids in the
sand is reduced by the presence OF the
fine grains of sand among the coarse
Concrete building blocks have been
used to some extent in the state. Where
sand is abundant the ease of manufac-
turing, together with the relatively
small cost of equipment, is favorable to
this industry. The concrete building
blocks made in the state in 1920 were
valued at s90,3Sl.
Road Materials.
The road building materials of Texas
include crushed stone of various kinds,
mari, soft limestone, sand, gravel, sand
clay and asphalt impregnated limestone,
as well as manufacturing materials, in
Guiding cement and vitrified brick. The
distribution of the materials used In
road-making has already been described
to some extent. Sand-clay is extensive
" used for country roads in Northeast
Texas, where rock and gravel is want
ing, or nearly so. Gravel beds are not
ably abundant and are much used for
road building near the inner margin OF
the Coastal Plains and In the stream
beds OF the interior Of the state. Rocks
OF various kinds suitable for road build
ing is abundant, particularly in Central
West and West Texas.
A valuable road material now much
used and found In uvalde and Kinney
counties, consists Of asphalt impreg-
mated limestone. This limestone. found

MOLLY PITCHER, HEROINE, REv0-
IIITIONARY WAR SERGEANT.


Molly Pitcher, whose real name was
Mary Ludwig, was the daughter Of
German settler in New Jersey. She was
born on a small farm between Prince
ton and Trenton in 1854. Her father
was a dairyman and Molly was always
compelled TO work very hard from early
childhood.
When she was 16 years old and was
serving az a maid in the home of DR.. lr-
vine, of Trenton, Molly was married TO
John Hays. an Irishman. When Hays
answered the call to war Molly proudly
gave up the little home they had made
together, and went into the service of
DR. Irvine again, promising her husband
that she would stand by" him. Neither
guessed that this would literally come
true
Later on Molly became so eager to
share her husbands burdens that she
rode off TO his camp TO mend and cook
for the soldiers. She joined him at Mon
mouth court house and worked untiring-
ly, aiding the wounded and mothering
every soldier who came within the reach
of the ministrations of her work.
worn hands. They all grew TO love her.
One day, while Molly was carrying wa
ter to the wounded, some one called
thirstily:
Molly, pitcher"
From this time n'she was known as
molly Pitcher
One very hot June Sunday, Molly's
great day came-the day upon which
she had chance TO show the metal OF
which she was made.
Washington. after a hard winter at
Valley Forge. had followed behind Gin
ton, who was marching across New Jer-
sey from Philadelphia. The Americans
waited for chance TO attack the Brit
ish. whose army was 20 miles long.
CORVALLIS brought his men into line of
action opposite Lee, who ordered a re-
treat. This angered Washington. who
strove to rally the men. With the aid of
Mad Anthony Wayne. Lafayette, Knox
and Greene, Washington strove TO save
the day.
Molly's husband had an important po-
sition in the field artillery, and was
loading and firing his cannon at the en-
envy.
Suddenly he pitched forward-desd.
Needless of her own life. Molly ran to
the cannon. seized the hammer, reloaded
the gun. and fired volley after volley.
General Knox, who was in charge of
the battery, saw that she was as brave
and competent as any man and permit
ted her to continue at her post.
The battle of Monmouth was won, and
Molly was made a sergeant because of
her bravery.
Molly remained with the army until
the close of the war. and for years after
lived at Carlisle barracks, cooking and
washing for the soldiers. In 1922 the
legislature of Pennsylvania voted her
the sum of $40 and annuity of that
amount during her lifetime.
When she died ten years later, Molly
was buried with military honors. On
the Fourth of July. 1876, a monument
was unveiled at Monmouth. inscribed:
ITO Molly Pitcher. the hero of Mon
mouth" Each year on the. thirtieth of
May, the grave of Molly Pitcher is dec

DRY ENFORCEMENT IS
FAILURE, SAYS mellon
Secretary Believes a Great Army
of Agents PoWerIess Without
Citizen Cooperation.

Washington.-Admin lead
ers from the President down who have
been giving grave consideration to
conditions in prohibition enforcement
have found no remedy for the situ-
alton Since the Cabinet discussion
a complete stock-taking by Secretary
Mellon and others shows that enforce
ment is virtually complete failure.
Secretary Mellon, in whose depart
ment the duty of enforcement lies, has
no fault to find with Roy A. Haynes,
Prohibition Commissioner, or his exec
utive assistants. The Secretary holds
the view that the prohibition office is
doing effective work so far as 1t can,
but that If it was at least three times
as large it would still fall far short
of accomplishing an effective check to
the making sale and use of intoxi-
cants.
Mr.. Mellon believes that great
army committed to the work would
be needed to obtain proper enforce
ment and then it would be effective
only with the cooperation of the great
body of citizenship. :
Administration leaders, finding no
practical remedy for the situation,
have put the question up Ito leading
"dry" advocates of the country. Many
of them have been asked for construc,
tive suggestions as to best procedure
or some means Of meeting the issue.
So far nothing has been offered by
them which is deemed practicable.
Advices to Government officials
show that whisky, wines and other in,
toxicating beverages are flowing in

cultured, educated and otherwise law
abiding citizens. Society leaders in
their travels carry trunkfuls.

lists Of their stockholders, under
ruling by Alexander Armstrong. At
torney-General. The opinion was
given at the request Of the State Tax
Commission.
Under old laws lists were turned
over by corporations so stock owners
could be taxed for their holdings.
More recent statutes make such taxes
payable by the corporations. objec-
tion was made to furnishing lists to
local authorities, on the ground that
they were not kept secret. Mr.. Arm.

effect of repeating the statute requir-
