a result of the tremendous demand for commercial and residential construc- tion and in consequence of enormous road building program. Last year a billion dollars was spent on roads. Another billion will probably be spent this year.
 In the interesting comparison above, as compiled by the Portland Cement association, the relative proportions of cement used for various purposes are shown. Most surprising, perhaps, is the proportion used on farms, for the construction of silos, granaries and other modern equipment.
 This evidence of progressive methods on farms and the efforts toward con struction of permanent roads are signs of our national progress toward greater industrial and agricultural efficiency.

 Not until 1872 was its manufacture started ill the United States. Despite this late beginning, the industry has rapidly developed until American mills now produce more cement than all the rest of the world combined.
 Month by month, cement output has steadily mounted. Last year, according to United States Geological Survey figures, 137 ,377, 900 barrels were made. Production during the first quarter of this year was two million barrels in excess of last.

ENsENANZAs DE LA HISTORIA

Ell viajero moreno y el viajero ru-
bio que vagabundeaban por ell mum
do, Sc encontraron en- un campo GU
bierto de blanda hierba y sombreado
por copudos arooles.
Ambos sentaronse a descansar, y
conversaron, primero con simpatia Y
consideration, Y luego con aspereza
y hosquedad.
-Companero-ex el hombre
de pelo negro; un mozo como tn,
que ostenta colores tan fameantes,
realmente no debia llamarse hombre,
sino jardfn forido.
-Esa es la diferencia-repuso el
del pelo rojo con acritud-, entire
una tapadera de hollin y una cabe-
"a de persona. Porque la tuya es una
pieza que parece haber surgido del
cuerpo de un negro, de esos que son
negros por dentro y por fuera.
Judas-replico ell otro-tenia la
| pelambrera roja, precisamente como
| la ttya, Y desde ell dia que nacio ese
malvado, todos los condenados trai-
dores ostentan ell mismo color de pc
10, a manera de marca de fabrica
para poner en- guardia las perso-
mas decentes como yo.
Y al proferir estas palabras, el
hombre moreno Sc levant6, dispues-
to a alejarse de aquellos lugares.
Ell rojo p1sose tambien de pie, y
como no sc lie ocurriera ninguna
respuesta, asest6 al del pelo negro
un punetazo.
Ambos lucharon sobre la hierba
hasta que la sangre les empapo el
rostro las manos. Cuando la ener-
gia de sus movimientos quedo ago
tada por ell cansancio, ambos caye-
ron al suelo fatigados, pero sin de-
| jar de lanzarse miradas colericas y
amenazadoras.
