0HIO'S SANDSTONE QUARRlES
Vast Quantities of Whetstones and
Grindstones Taken From Pit
South of Lake Erie

The worlds largest sandstone quar-
ries are located in Ohio, a few miles
to the south of Lake Erie, in the vicin-
ity of the towns of North Amherst
and Berea. From these quarries come
also vast quantities of our whetstones
and grindstones, and there is very
much that is of interest with respect
to the industry.
One of the quarries has been mined
to a depth of 165 feet in places and the
distance around it is a mile and a
half. Looking into this pit from one
edge, one is reminded of the ruins of
the Colosseum, for the walls are cut
in shallow terraces, which are not un-
like the seats of the open-air theater
of the ancients.
In cutting a block of sandstone
wedges are driven in sidewise at the
base Of the block, while steam drills
bore holes from the top to meet the
openings made by the wedges. A ma
chine called channeler then cuts the
block away.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and

MAY ADMIT FORMER ENEMIES
Owsley FaVors Permitting Germans,
Austrians and Russians to Enter
Veterans Federation,

Alvin Owsley, national commander
OF the American Legion. created a SEN
sation in veterans circles when he
asked allied veterans to dismiss pas
sion and hatred from their hearts and
plan to admit German, Austrian and
Russian World war fighters into the
Interallied Veterans Federation.
Surely there must be some way in
which we can speak to the men we
fought and make them realize there is
a better way Of living among nations
than continuing battling one another"
Commander Owsley declared at the re-
cent convention of the federation in
Brussels. "How can we wish to deal
with our former enemies if we haven't
the moral courage to get together in
peace? Maybe there has been no
change of heart among our former
enemies. Perhaps there never will be
unless we are men enough to under
take to carry to them our peace mes
sage. France and Belgium positively
are entitled to PREPARATIONS, but hoard
ing and keeping in our heart ancient
prejudices will not bring the peace we
earned by our victory"
Charles Bertrand, president Of the
federatj IN, representing the views of
France and Belgium, indicated that
be would favor admlttance Of the men
from the enemy countries as soon as
they evinced a desire to pay repara-

"getters" obtained some valuable In
formation during the contest. One Of
the surprising bits of information was
that the reason why many veterans
have not joined the Legion is because
they have never been asked to enter
the organization. Legion officials cite
this fact as a demonstration of the
necessity for more active canvass
of former service men.
Both Kass and Kobe signed up
scores of veterans for the Legion in
previous membership contests.
