 team, Steel Dynamite :uStStart1t Getting the necessary mate rials out of the earth is one of the spectacular opera tions in cement making. Steam shovels cut into field or a hill. Two tons at bite they strip away the soil to a depth sometimes of forty feet or more.
 The stripping brings you down to the lodges of lime stone and shale from which cement must be made. Large steel drills follow. Powerfully, patiently, they chip their way through lodges that are often 30 feet thick. In a year, one of these drills will bore through miles of solid rock.
 Dynamite comes next-75 pounds to hole = more than IS million pounds of it for the entire industry last year. From two to hundred holes are loaded, tamped and wired.
 WOrkmen seek cover.
 A button is pressed. The earth trem- bles. Hundreds -thousands-o tons of rock leap from the face of thequarry and fall ina heap below. Many of the stones come down too large; quarry-men must pop shoot" them into smaller pieces. When they are reduced to not more than ton or soeach, steam shovels load them into dump cars, and they are hauled off to the first of the giant crushers in the cement mill. At medium sized plant-one turn- ing out a million barrels year hundreds of thousands of dollars are invested in quarry and quarry equipment-ai air compressors, drills, steam shovels, railways, loco motives and cars
 Where other materials besides stone are used-ike marl or clay from a flake or pit-different but just as interesting methods are employed. Getting out the raw materials is the first step in the long careful proc ess of cement making. .TLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION c1 1Nahondl Organization fo Improve and Ezserd fhe Uses of Concrete Dc.

The Greater Love A NEW ROMANCE By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE

CHAPTER XVII

Ruth did not appear at all agitated by the presence of Nathanial Smith. M. D. She gave him her hand with light apology for the fact that it was moist from handling the flowers, then went about her work.
 Your roses are fine this year" Dr. Smith remarked. But they are always lovely"
 They are pretty" Ruth admitted. Abe takes good care of them."
 Abe was the hired man who weeded the flower beds, moved the lawns, cared for the garden, and occasional Ny washed Samuel Grants Ford run about.
 "Then," Dr. Smith leased, you will not accept any credit for the wonder ful sta,e your flowers are in"
 None at all," she replied. For l deserve none."
 Well, you deserve credit for ar ranging them so nicely in those vases" he insisted. May I have one of these buds?" indicating several that still lay on the table.
 Certainly. Help yourself!" she re- piled.
 He selected one, a shade Of disap- pointment on his face. He waited as if to see if she would offer to pin sthe bud in his button-hole, but as she did not look up, he fastened it him. self on the lapel of his coat. e-
 Doesn't that look nicer" he de- manded.
 Very" she said, indifferently.
 'If you're going to take me to see that patient of yours, smith, I am ready" Dr. Grant announced
 "All right" Smith replied. 'Ili bring your father back, Ruth, as soon as I've taken him to consult with me over sick man down the road"
 "Yes? I'll see you later, father,
 In spite of which statement she left her flowers long enough to cross the porch to where her father stood and kiss him good-by.
 Good morning, MT. Lang" Dr. Smith said rather awkwardly. q am suppose you'll be wanting to go home soon."
 Prom what Dr. Grant tells me I must stay quiet for several weeks to come" Lang said rather stiffly. "Yes-of course, you must" Smith hastened to agree with the verdict Of his colleague and senior, Ut only means that you will be wanting to get away-although you cant leave for a while yet"
 Was he trying to find out how content the invalid was in his pres ent retreat? Did he hope that the stranger would gG home as soon as it was safe for him to do so? "'Wanting to get away is hardly

 Good by" she returned. "Oh. ia | ther will you stop at the post office | on your way back and bring up the mail. or shall I go down for it?'' I'll fetch it with me-" the father promised as he and his companion went out.
 Ruthl Smith called her by her first name! Lang wished that the young fellow would not do that. But ef course he must have known her for good while.
 'Is Dr. Smith native of South old?' he queried.
 "Yes,' Ruth replied. "He was here as boy. Then he went away for his medical education. It took some cour- age to come back to practice where he had been known as little Nat Smith. But he will get on, father says. of course, father throws lots of practice in his way"
 There was silence as she finished arranging her flowers. Then selecting particularly lovely bud
 Would you like this?" she asked.
 Indeed I would" he said eagerly.
 She asked another question
 Shall I put it in your button hole?"
 'If you will be so kindi" he re- piled, a glow of qualification per vading his being.
 Taking a pin from her belt she leaned over him and fastened the pink bud in the buttonhole on the left lapel of his coat. He looked UT at her as she did this. Her face hat never been quite so close to his be- fore. He noted the delicate textur, of her fair skin, the upward sweeI of her long lashes. Accidentally hei hand brushed against his cheek a. she stood up again. He felt the quick blood rush to his face.
 Thank you" he said, lifting the lapel and inhaling the fragrance oi the rose.
 But already she had picked up her vases and was carrying them into the house.

 Attacks Cults
 Dr. Ostrum opened his meeting Sunday night by expressing the de- sire that everyone in the church start the new year with a clean page. He then plunged into an explanation of the way of salvation and an attack on present day cults and isms. He stressed the thought that all phi losophy, genius and human effort fail in an effort to find a cure for sin and asserted that 1t was hopeless for man to try to deal with sin on his own resources.
 There is much talk of ideals" he declared. "The Anglo Saxon litera- ture is shot through with the bap- tised organism He said that maga- zines were filled with advice to strive for higher ideals; to seek for better things; to lift ones self up.
 Christianity is Gods reach down to get us,7 he cried. "Old forms of religion were hunger-Christianity is bread
 pr. Ostrum flayed those who op- pose the idea of sacrifice and. com- pare it to the stock yards. He de- clared that sacrifice was started by God and that it was necessary in sal- walton.
 In the course of his sermon Dr. Ostrum took a fling at the theory that man was descended from 8 lower animal; he likewise commented on forms of religion other than Christianity.
 Evolution Devilism
 "The theory that man ever walked on all fours is old fashioned devil ism" he asserted.
 There has never been a man on earth who never broke the Ten Com mandments, the evangelist declared in referring to the fact that other forms of religion had 10 command ments.
 "It is the devils great program to produce a form of Christianity without its power" he told his hear CTS in warning them against certain cults.
 During the meeting for men in the afternoon Dr. Ostrum took to task i those critics of Christianity who claim 1t is not broad enough and those who teach that the Bible con tains the word of God as opposed to the doctrine that the Bible is the word of God. He also warned those present that there was danger of in- augurating the year of 1923 with re- ligiousity instead of Christianity. Talk of Breadth Gush Christianity may be narrow but is tall and is the straight way" he de- clared in answer to those who say 1t Is narrow. This wholesale talk of breadth Is the gush of men on the way to religiousity," he said. The evangelist asserted that if the Bible contained the word of God in stead of being the word of God 1t was not sufficient to meet the needs l of those who needed 1t most. Dr. Ostrum announced Sunday night that he would talk Monday noon at the Moose hall on "Why Men Break Their New Years Resolu- tions.' His subject for Monday night will be How Busy People Can Get a Working Knowledge of the Bible in a Short Time" he said. On Thurs
