STRIB BOXES
 BERLENBACH

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Paul Ber- lenbach, whose sensational string of knockouts in the middleweight ranks not long ago earned him a niche in pugdom, will strive this week to regain some of the prestige he, lost when he himself ran into a haymaker in a fight with Jimmy Delaney few months ago
 On Wednesday night Berlenbach will tackle Young Stribling at the New York Velodrome. The bout has been limited to six rounds because of Strib- ling's youth.
 The one-time knockout king has taken on poundage since he was shunted into oblivion. He has grown to the light heavyweight division and will be almost evenly matched with his Georgian opponent. He faces a diff cult task. Stribling's speed and clever ness are expected to make it exteremely hard for Berlenbach to land his fa- nous knockout fwallop.

DETROIT.-Two intrepid Detroit
ers, q. S. Evans, president Of e. S
Evans 6 Co., Inc, and A. F. Bement,
vice-president and secretary Of the
Lincoln Highway Association, have
left Winnipeg, Manitoba, for Vancou-
YER, British Columbia, in an endeavor
to log a route for new all-Canadian
highway, and incidentally surmount
some of the worst passes of the seen
lie Canadian Northwest.
The trip necessitates covering by
motor stretch across the high pass
es of the Canadian Rockies which no
human being has ever conquered 9th
er than afoot or on horseback. The
distance is estimated as between LOO
and 1900 miles.
If successful, the trip is expected TO
be the forerunner Of plans which
eventually will open through Cana
dian highway from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, similar to the transcon-
tinental ways Of the United
States.

-Four Times as Much Spent
for Cigarettes as for Butter

How can those who advocate cleo
margarine as the poor mans butter
reconcile their argument that this
country is in need Of a spread for
bread cheaper than pure butter, with
the fact that the American people
last year spent s36 per capita for CT
garettes, and only 50 per capita for
butter. These are the figures of Ole
Hansen, manager of the Farmers
Equity Cooperative Creamery Associa-
ton Of Orleans, Nebraska, which ap-
peared in an article by him called the
"Folly of the Nation" published in a
recent issue Of the DeLaval Monthly.
These figures produced by Mr.. Han
sen show very plainly that the Ameri-
can people are plenty able to supply
their tables with pure butter. Cigar
cites are only one Of the many lux
uries upon which our people are
squandering millions.
When it comes to proper food with
which to sustain health, our people
can easily dig up the wherewithal to
pay, and are in no way needing this
disinterested sympathy of the cleo
combine. CO.

oAA % pOooADAS.
While 1 am discussing the effect of
freezing on concrete, think might as
well say something about the effect of
excessive heat on concrete.
Hot summer sun beating down on
freshly placed concrete is bad because it
dries out the concrete. The hardening
process that goes on is not drying
process as some people imagine. This
you can prove by allowing a mass of
concrete to set under water, proving that
it is chemical reaction that is going
on in the tiny particles. When you add
water to cement you no longer have
water and cement but an entirely new
substance.
Protecting concrete from the sun may
be done in much the same way that it
is protected from cold. You can cover
it with hay, straw or tarpaulins or any
other material that will prevent too
sudden loss of moisture and yet will not
mar the surface you wish to protect.
So at the risk of being tiresome, am
going to tell you again that in all your
work with concrete, be careful that it
does not freeze in winter or dry out too
quickly in summer. Observing these
simple rules you will make much better
concrete work.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1924-09-12

The nearer the water is to the boiling
point, the better will be the results, be-
cause it will take longer to dissipate the
heat and cool the mixture. There are
several methods used for heating aggre-
gates. A simple arrangement that any
farmer can contrive is metal cylinder
similar to corrugated road culvert over
which the sand, broken stone or pebbles
can be piled and in which a fire can be
built. Care must be taken to heat the fine
and coarse aggregates separately in order
to avoid premixing them in the wrong
proportions If the materials are added
as above outlined and the concrete is
deposited Immediately after mixing, its
temperature when placed in the form
will be around 80 degrees and if care is
taken to prevent the too rapid loss of
this contained heat, the concrete will
harden properly. The early stages of
hardening may be even more rapid than
under ordinary conditions.
In placing concrete in cold weather the
forms must be free from snow, ice and
frost. 1t is good idea to warm the
forms before placing the concrete. After
the concret is paced it should be .,ro-
tected while hardening so as to maintain
the warm moist condition essentla. for
the rapid development of strength. There

STOCK HINDERs TRAVEL

NEZ PERCE.-Many of the tourists
and some of the local people have
filed complaints here during the last
month to the effect that horses and
cattle are permitted to Craze along
the public highways of this section,
making it necessary in some instances
for car drivers to come to complete
stop before they can pass. They
claim that such practice is not only
likely to result in loss Of property but
is likely to be the means of someone
being badly injured or killed.
Stock is reported to be numerous
along the Clarkston-Pom highway
and the North and South highway be
tween Lewiston and Culdesac. 1t is
claimed that travellers experience
many inconvenience in going over
these roads while passing horses and
cattle that are either standing on the
highways or grazing nearby. The
greatest number Of horses or cattle
are to be found along the highways
in the mornings and evenings.
1t is pointed out that the highways
are built and maintained at consid
cradle expense by the taxpayers, and
should never be used under any CON
sideration for grazing purposes.
In the state of Washington there is
a law in effect that makes it misde
meanor upon the part of anyone graz
ing stock upon the public highways OF
the state, which is punishable by
heavy fines and imprisonment. In ad
dition to this, the property owner is
subject to damages caused by tn.
trespassing of stock upon such high
ways.
The county officials are making in
vestigations, and unless stock is pre-
vented from grazing along the high
ways of the county, the owners viii
be fined according to the extent o
the violations.
