Director Frank T. Hines, of the
Veterans Bureau, will ask special
appropriation from Congress for re-
placement of temporary wooden
buildings at Walter Reed Hospital,

Fisherman Cal" Is
Coolidge's Name
In MARYLAND

BALTIMORE, Aug. 16.-
FISHERMAN Cal" is what the
President of the United States
is, to the fisherman of Better
ton, Md, on upper Chesapeake
bay. Even though he should
become one of the greatest OF
the nations Chief Executives,
nothing can take away the feel
ing that the folks around Bet
terton have that he is the
greatest fisherman of them all.
President Coolidge's reputa-
ton as a fisherman was made
at Betterton about ten years
ago, when he went there with
a party Of inland waterways in
vestigators. All went fishing.
The way Mr.. Coolidge hauled
in fish that day is still told to
children in the fishermen's
shanties. 1t made no difference
whether the hook was baited or
not. When he didn't have time
to bait the fish swallowed his
hook bare.

every woman so longs to retain. In most cases men
safeguard their health better than by eating
coarser foods. being more out-ofdoors and leading
more active lives, thereby keeping their blood richer

The very moment young women allows herself to

a drain upon her whole system which overtaxes the
power of the blood to renew wasted tissue and keep
active the natural life forces of the body. There

BOX CAR THIEVES ARE BOUND
OVER FOR TRIAL
Two Men Who Attempted to Dispose
of Stolen Auto Accessories
Are Being Held.

Concerning the two men who at
tempted to dispose of tires, tubes and
automobile accessories, which it is
believed they stole from 500 Line
box car, to local garage man, the
Ashland Press had the following:
Following testimony by Andrew G.
Wing, Ashland warehouse foreman
of the 500 line, b. Norman, Hurley
garage owner, 500 Line Agent F. H.
Slivenik, and the undersheriff of Iron
county, two men, Anton Maxi and
Matt Jacobson, were bound over to
circuit court for trial this morning
charged with the attempted sale of
stolen goods.
The losses to the 500 Line, accord
ing to Slivenik, were in the neigh
borhood of $1,000.
Norman, the garage man, testified
that Jacobson came to his garage and
offered to sell some tires and tubes,
saying that they were on a nearby
farm. He testified that Jacobson
said at the time:
"They are stolen but didn't steal
them"
The matter was reported to the
sheriff, and when Norman went to
look at the tires, a car with the
sheriff, undersheriff and a deputy
trailed behind
Norman said that the men brought
one tire and two sacks full of tubes
from root house about 500 feet
from the road. The undersheriff then
testified that tire wrappings, tags,
etc, were later found in the root
house. The root house was located
on farm four miles from Hurley
owned by another man named Maxi,
Those in the sheriff's car, who had
stopped about 500 feet away, came
forward and put the two men under
arrest.
According to Norman, Maxi gave
him the directions for finding the
farm in good English Since his arr
raignment in Court, Maxi has main
tanned absolute silence, indicating by
signs that he cannot speak or under
stand the language.

GROWING USE or CONCRETE

The growth of the Portland cement
industry In this country is one of the
maryels Of our Industrial development.
In 1924 we are told, only 10000 barrels
Of cement were produced in the United
States. One hundred years Inter we
are achieving an annual production of
l00,0O0,00O barrels, Concrete has indis-
penshio uses for the construction Of
houses, public buildings, skyscrapers
whnrves, grain elevators, dams
bridges, public highways and other
structures in which strength and dura-
bility must be combined, says the
birmingham Age Herald As lumber
becomes scarcer and higher, the In
creaslng demand for cement expands
at the rate Of millions Of barrels each
year. Formerly cement was manu-
factured AZ certain centers widely
separated whence the product had to
be shipped at great expense to distant
localities Now the industry has
spread untn no point is remote from
a center Of production Alabama is
one Of the recent states to enter upon
the production Of cement, and Is nj
ready attracting attention as a source
to be reckoned with AS her timber
reCedcs the South Is turning 10 her
substitute resources and is preparing
TO send cement In lieu Of the timber
with which tho nation has been so
lavish In its use and abuse. It Is sad
to think Of the depletion Of southern
forests. hut 1t is gratifying to note
that the South's part in the supple
mentary process Is not a small one.
