And you do just a little
more work than the elevat-
ing machinery of a cement
plant does in the course of
manufacturing a barrel of
portland cement.
In a typical plant, the
materials for a 37o-pound
barrel of cement-which
weigh more than twice
that to start with-have
to be elevated fifteen times
to heights ranging from 20
to 90 feet in going through
the more than eighty oper-
atoms between raw mate
rials and finished product.
Practically all Of this lifting
and carrying is nowadays done by
mechanical conveyors Many of
these are very ingenious.
They may be endless chains Of
moving buckets that go trailing
all about the plant, picking up and
dropping different loads two or
three times in the course Of their
journey. They may be wide belts.
Or they may be huge cork
screws" fitting snugly inside steel
tubes and pulling the materials
along as they turn
One Of these ~corkscrews may
be 100 feet long; INT Of the belts
aquarter Of a mile long.
In a medium sized plant-one
with a million barrels capacity a
year-an investment Of more than
a quarter Of a million dollars is
necessary for machinery that does
nothing but carry and lift
Conveying and elevating are
among the great variety of opera
tons in cement making.

VENERABLE WORSHIPER
LIFTS" GIRLS PURSE

Absorbed in the religious serv-
ices at Trinity Church, Third and
c streets northwest, yesterday, Miss
Constance L. Lowe, 321 c street
northwest, found that her trust In
q white-haired man, who sat next
to her, was misplaced. When she
went to look for her purse 1t was
missing.
Miss Lowe told the police that
$40, Treasury pass. and some
pictures were in the purse. She
told them, they say, that she never
had the slightest suspicion that the
venerable old man who sat next
to her would take her money.
But that is what he did, the police
charge. They are looking for a
man with dark hair and eyes and
wearing salt-and-pep suit.
Sixth precinct police are in charge
of the investigation.

he died alone and apparently friend
less, Sallustio Civai, baritone of the

TOLDO CHINA
PROBLEMS
DR.. Sidney L. GuIick Sees Far
East Passing Through
Many Difficulties.

CHAUTAUQUA. N. Y, Aug. 90
1.-THE world is going to have China
on it's hands as a problem for many
years and perhaps for decades to
come" said DR.. Sidney L. Gulick,
an authority on the Far East. who
has just returned from a trip Of
nearly a year in China, Japan,
Korea and the Philippines, at the
conference held under the auspices
of the Commission on international
Justice and Goodwill of the Federal
Council of Churches.
1.-THE danger" he continued, lis
that the nations may become i'm
China is passing through it's period
of adolescence, and will make un-
reasonable demands. The somewhat
domineering and arrogant West is
likely to insist on program and on
quick results that will be essential
ly unreasonable, and that will arouse
resentment in China
"Westerners who are seeking an
eventually warless world must do
their utmost to guide the public
opinion of their respective lands
into an attitude Of appreciation OF
China and Of sympathy for her spe-
cial problems. We must beget n
spirit of sincere good will and OF
determined patience. We must see
to 1t that our traders and bankers
do not push demands and create
conditions that can only evoke re-
sentiment and opposition. We must
seek to give to China such good
and full measure of justice and even
of positive helpfulness, that there
shall be no danger of creating a
militarized China; for a militarized
and indignant China would be
menace to the entire world.
Though there are many adverse
conditions in China and things ceem
hopeless az times it is astonishing
how business and education are
progressing. Imports are increas-
ing, specially of machinery; never
have the import duties brought in
such large sums, and the figure
seems to be steadily increasing. AL
though the salaries Of government
school teachers are always far in
arrears, and the dates of payment
wholly uncertain, the teachers stick
to their jobs. The demand for high
er education is already far beyond
the capacity Of the institutions pro-
vided A mighty ferment Of new
thought in every line is stirring the
young life.
Many new movements are on as
already noted, in education, in Ian
guage reform, in the use of fewer
ideographs and in popularization of
the newly invented phonetics. There
is a renaissance movement; a neo-
Confucian movement; an anti-Christ-
ian movement; a physical education
movement; a feminist movement.
Labor is becoming self-conscious.
Strikes are frequent.
