FIRE AND THE WORLDS PROGRESS

Probably no single event in the
history of the race contributed so
much to mans ascent from savagery
as his discovery of the use of fire.
When he learned to harness this
erstwhile giant he had mounted the
stairs of progress-the history of his
development is closely linked with
the development of uses Of fire.
At first he used fire only to cook
the game he had slain and to warm
his cave or hut. Then he learned that
the wood of his spear point if only
slightly charred in the fire became
harder, thereby making a better wea-
pon--it was not until thousands of
years later that he learned to use
fire to treat mortals so as to better
adapt them to his use.
The history Of mans progress in
industry has been largely history
of his progress in the uses of fire.
For instance in the portland ce-
ment industry the development of
fuel is one of the interesting chapters
in its history.

The Jewish Teleqraphic AGENCY

A very important factor in the life
of the Jewish group of immigrants in
the United States is the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency, which specializes in
the transmission of news events and
general Information of interest and
Importance to it's patrons, says the
Interpreteur. This news agency was
organized four years ago and now
maintains principal headquarters in
New York and London. One hundred
and fifty newspapers printed in Yid-
dish are served directly by the SER
vice, while the non-Jewish press of
the United States and other countries
is served indirectly with it's material
through the large general news agen-
cies. "The Agency is engaged in real
public service" Secretary Herbert
Hoover says. Secretary of Labor Da-
Wis expressed his pleasure that direc-
tors Of the organization seek to serve
the best interests of your immediate
patrons and that of the country as
we'll"

When Joseph Aspdin, an English
bricklayer or Leeds, patented port
land cement 100 years ago he burned
the powdered raw cement rock in a
crude brick kiln, in which layers of
the raw powdered rock alternated
with layers of coal. Later layers of
coke were substituted at some plants
for coal. In America, however, manu-
facturers started to seek improved
methods of burning raw cement rock
soon after the industry had gained a
foothold in this country. 1t became
necessary, because of the high cost
Of labor in America, to find some
means of using fuel which would be
more economical of labor.
Out of this need grew the rotary
kiln-a great steel tube into which
powdered coal was shot under pres
sure of compressed air. This method
gave much greater efficiency in burn
ing, for it made it possible to obtain
a temperature of 5000 degrees Fab
renheit within the kiln, one of the
highest temperatures used in indus
try.

completed by the Spokane Advertis-
ing Club for the fifth annual Animal
ed Ad Ball, which will be staged the
evenings of April 81 and % at the

A contract has been made with
Howard Moore of the Auditorium

Importance of Good Teeth


The science of dentistry, like that
of medicine, has made great forward
strides during the last decade and the
tooth-tinker of yesterday has been
supplanted by profession that oc-
cupies an important place in the con-
servation of health.
The fundamental cause Of most Of
our tooth troubles lies in our diet;
and we realize that mothers, before
the baby's birth, are responsible for
giving good or bad teeth to their chill
dren, and before six years of age the
whole question of good teeth for life
will have been largely determined
depending upon proper prenatal diet.
and whether the infants food has
contained the proper amount of lime,
mineral salts and vitamins. If the
teeth are not well constructed and
sound at that time, even the faithful
ones of the toothbrush will not save
them from premature decay. The
dentist can repair but he cannot con-
struct-that duty rests upon the
mother.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary of
Commerce Herbert Hoover is op-
posed to radio censorship-and for
good reason. In the course of radio
address, Hoover said that there were
thousands of complaints against the
type of programs broadcast by COM
mercial stations, now uncontrolled in
the matter of the kind of material
they use. People complain" Hoover
said, "but they take whatever they
can, realizing that it is not costing
them anything. If the government
attempted to censure the programs,
however, the complaints would double
and treble, and there would be imme-

Auto Aid for Police
As Well As Criminals

Every time a bandit makes his es-
cape in an automobile that fact is re-
corded. But how often is it also re-
corded that the police went in pursuit
in motor car? asks Walter P. Chrys-
ter, the automobile man.
The automobile, like everything
else ever made by man, has been
abused The criminal, especially has
found many uses for the motor car.
But so have the police, hospitals and
fire departments. And out Of fairness
to the motor-owning public the entire
story should be told.
He approves of the recomm endation
of Governor Smith of New York
State that there should be state
department of automobiles. There
should be medical and mental ex-
animation Of all persons who want
licenses to drive cars. The mentally
and physically unfit, for the sake OF
themselves, the pedestrian and motor
car owners, should not be permitted
to operate cars.
