RELATES ASSOCIATION

Fifty years ago was toiling in the
wintry blast of a rigorous Minnesota
winter, in a feeble manner laboring
to offset the cost of my board and
keep by assisting my mother who in
her capacity as janitress, had charge
of the building known as Miss
wheaton's Select School for Girls.
Those simple duties consisted chiefly
of sweeping, busting, building fires.
in short, anything in the line of clean
ing the premises.
Those indescribably cold days
quickly passed and in the spring /
began to search for work of more
lucrative promise. Prior to this time
had been in the employ of one Lay

up and said, that is Johnnie Hick-

"Oh, yes, my boy, come Friday and

RESEARCH
Laboratory Experiments Great
Help to Users OF
Materials Il

IN cooperation with Lewis Insti-
ttite, Chicago, the Portland Cement
Association maintains the structural
materials research laboratory in the
institute buildings.
This laboratory is the only one in
the country devoted exclusively to
cement and concrete research. About
thirty-five people are employed for
this work, and every year thousands
of tests are carried out to develop
information that will assist concrete
users to get maximum results.
One Of the features of the labora-
tory is q sand library" where over
$500 specimens of sand are filed
away in small glass bottles. There
are sands from every section of the
country, and from a number OF
foreign lands. Every specimen has
been tested as to its suitability in
concrete work, and definite knowl-
edge is at hand on just what can
be expected from various kinds OF
sand.
Experiments at the laboratory
have brought out valuable informa-
tion in regard to the water ratio In
mixing concrete, and 1t has been
found that the amount <of water
used Is just as important as the
amount of cement.
Other experiments have covered
the relative merits Of different types
Of aggregates, the design of con.
crete mixtures, the effect of curing
conditions Of concrete, effect OF fine
ness of cement, effect of age on
strength of concrete, effect of time
Of mixing, and various other features
that have added to general knowl-
edge of concrete and its behavior.
In addition to tests in the labora-
tory, the work has been extended to
cooperate with engineers and con-
tractors right on the construction
job. Recent examples Of service,
where laboratory experts conducted
tests for individual projects, include
the Tribune Tower, Chicago; the Big
Four Railroad Bridge at Sidney,
Ohio; a reinforced concrete flume
for the Washington Power Company
at Spokane, Washington; concrete
docks at Norfolk, Va; concrete build
ings at the United States Indian
Irrigation Project, Blackfoot, Idaho,
and many others.
Facts from the laboratory are dis.
tributed through bulletins, lectures
before technical and engineering So
cieties, and through personal con.
tact of. the fieldmen. The laboratory
IL the free service station of the
cement industry. 1t is the recog-
nized headquarters for information
on cement and concrete. Because
of 1t the fieldmen are able to give
concrete. users undisputed facts
about how to use the material and
get maximum results.
The laboratory is a striking *
ample of the benefits derived by
modern industry and the public
through scientific research.

CHANGES ADD STRENGTH
TO NEW FORM OF LOCK

A departure from the old type
Of latch set construction is the
Dexter lock and latch manufactured
by the National Brass. Company Of
Grand Rapids, Mich. They are
very easily installed, requiring no
mortising or gonging.
The ease of installation is due
to the tubular construction. It is
only necessary to bore four holes
and slip in the lock and latch
units. This does away entirely
with the painstaking gouging and
fitting that was necessary with the
old type.
The unskilled worker can install
Dexters just as quickly and salts
factorily as the expert. Even a
very slow workman can put in
four complete sets in an hour.
Because the lock and latch are
separate units, the lock can be
placed wherever desired either
above or below the latch
There is an economy of parts in
the Dexter latch set, dye to the
use of q compression spring which
requires much less mechanism than
the flat spring. The latch hub
and bolt are made of cast brass,
material three times as strong
as cast iron.
