zoo BIRDS

"I'm the white-headed sea eagle and
Pm from South Africa"
Billie Brownie was visiting some of
the birds in a zoo. And they were
telling him about themselves.
YES continued the White-headed
sea eagle, land now I'm here. Of
course you can see that for yourself.
But it seems a long distance from
South Africa, doesn't it?

"And you can also see that I am

MY back feathers are of a lovely
slate gray color and my head is white,

Brownie. "You are very striking,

Then Billie Brownie saw a pelican
swallowing a fish and it seemed as
though he could see right into the
pelican's throat in the sunlight.
The pelicans were going about with
their bits Of fish and they were chat
tering and making great deal of
noise.
When they stopped making a great
deal of noise they began to flop about
and soon they had a nap.
Before dinner they had been shout
ing about dinner time, which would
soon be with them. When dinner

that and now they were through chat

were ready for pleasant pelican
dreams.
The gulls we're folding their feath-
ers so nicely on their backs, spread
ing out their wings and making them
selves look their very best.
They had not paid any attention to
the pelicans when they had wiggled
down their food-for that was just
how it had looked to Billie Brownie.
Nor had they chartered as much as
the pelicans had.

the next one upon whom Billie
Brownie called.
"My neck is really more of pea

Indeed do agreed Billie Brownie.
He had been particularly fascinated

"When we are wild our colors are

And then Billie watched the keeper
feed the Pacific Gull and after feed
ing him he gave the CULTS beak nice
little affectionate shake, for he was
a great pet of the keeper.
But Billie Brownie had to leave
then. He was invited to come again,
however, another time, to hear more
of their stories.

No Helpless DamseI, This.

A Titian-haired beauty visited US for
a month and fell in love with her,
but was unable to muster up sufficient
courage to propose. I was escorting
her to the depot and a couple of young

myself a gallant knight and win the
fair lady. Promise you'll be my wife
and I'll thrash him." T whispered.

Why He Called
It Portland"
Cement

In 1924, an English mason wanted to
produce better cement than any then in
use. To do this he burned finely ground
clay and limestone together at high
heat. The hard balls [called clinker] that
resulted were ground to fine powder.
When mixture Of this dull gray powder
with water had hardened, it was the color
Of a popular building stone quarried on
the Isle Of Portland of the coast Of Eng
land. So this mason, Joseph Aspdin,
called his discovery portland cement.
That was less than one hundred years
ago.
Portland cement was not made in the
United States until Fifty years ago. The
average annual production for the ten
years following was only $4,000 sacks.
Last year the country used over 470, O0O,-
600 sacks Of portland cement Capacity
to manufacture was nearly 6OO,00O,OOO
sacks.
Cement cannot be made everywhere
because raw materials Of the necessary
chemical composition are not found in
sufficient quantities in every part OF the
country But it is now manufactured In
81 states by 100 plants. There is at least
one Of these plants within shipping dis
lance Of any community in this country.
10 provide cement supply that would
always be ample to meet demand has
meant good deal in costly experience
to those who have invested in the cement
industry There have been large capital
investments with low returns.
In the last twenty-five years, 328 ce-
ment plants have been built or have gone
through some stage Of construction or
financing 162 were completed and placed
in operation.
Only 40 Of these plants have survived the
financial, operating and marketing risks OF that
period. Their capacity is nearly 80 per cent
greater than the record years demand.
These are few important facts about an
industry that is still young Advertisements to
follow will give you more Of these facts. and
will tell something Of the important place ce-
ment occupies in the welfare Of every individual.

+ asst week was an eventful one for
IL American aviation. First and most
important was the successful test of
the air nails contemplated coast-to-
coast service. This trial lasted sew
eral days and involved day and night
flying, the pilots being guided at night
by big beacon lights. It is intended:
that the service between New York
and San Francisco shall require not
more than thirty hours. and the tests
show that this will be entirely pos
sible.
Wednesday evening the Darling
bomber, the largest airplane ever con-
structed, was given its first test at
Wilbur Wright field, Dayton, o., and
it surpassed even the fondest hopes of
its designer, an Englishman, under
whose direction it was built for the
United States army. This plane, which
is propelled by six Liberty motors,
has a wing spread of 120 feet and
weighs 10000 pounds. Its fuel tanks
have capacity of 2,12O gallons. It
carries seven machine guns and bombs
totaling $1,000 pounds in weight One
of its most valuable features is its slow
speed on take-offs and landings.
Earlier in the week the air service
carried out a series of maneuyers I'M
der simulated war conditions in which
an armada of sixteen great Martin
bombers flew from Langley field,
Hampton, Va, to Bangor, Me-, 800
miles, in eight and a half actual fly
ing hours, going through numerous Of
fensive maneuvers en- route and final
ly saving the Maine city from
supposed naval attack. At Mitchell
field, Long Island, the bombers were
joined by seven De Hayiland swift pur-
suit planes.

PARIS, Feb. 20-For the loss of both his arms from repeated exper- iments with X-rays in the past 20 years, Dr. Charles Valiant, the X-ray expert, has been awarded the Cravat of the Legion of Honor. The be- stoWal of this honor is a rare tribute to a civilian other than one at the head of the State or Diplomatic ser vice, to whom it is awarded for dis tinguished achievement Dr. Valiant has already had conferred upon him the Carnegie hero medal and the gold medal of the City of Paris. His experiments with the X-ray, as the result of which much valuable re- search work has been contributed to science, have been made on his own arms, repeated operations having been necessitated until both mem bers have finally been entirely re- moved.
