EIgin to Preserve Trees
Over 1000 Years Old

Elgin.-Cedar trees that were good
sized saplings during the first cru
sades, according to foresters, have
been turned over to the Illinois Nat
ural Study society of Elgin by the
city, and will be cared for in perpe
tuity by the society. Only one other
large grove Of arbor vitae, or white
cedars, is said to exist in the state.
Foresters estimate that many Of the
cedars in Elgin are more than 1000
years old, and that very probably the
present grove is part of large
woods which was well developed In
the Ninth or Tenth century. The trees
belong to the same family of plants
that include the famous cedars of Leb-
anon. Scientists say that, barring ex-
ternal accidents and disease, there is
no reason why the trees should not
live another 1000 years.
The society, according to Carl F.
Gronemann, president, plans to place
a permanent label on every tree in the
121-acre park, and to maintain the
grove as a scientific preserve and as a
public show place.

NEW GLACIER IS FOUND
IN THE OLYMPIC RANGE

reaching the top of the peak the party
discovered that the mountain was split
In two parts, never before known, and
after a hard descent down a precipi-
tOus slope. reached a broad meadow
between the halves of the peak.
According to members of the party,
the meadow was at least mile in
width and abounded with game. Fol-
lowing the meadow down between the
canyon walls, the party came to a
precipice at it's end, and looking over
the edge discovered the ice field more
than 200 feet below them. The glacier
is approximately mile wide and can
be approached only by the route taken
by the party.
Members of the party believe the
meadow land is probably lake dur
ing the rainy season. Due to the diff
fculty in approaching the mountain
the cleft in the peak was never dis
covered before, or the existence of the
glacier suspected.

show that it requires nearly three

Mating Steel and Cement
"a French gardeners flowerpot with
imbedded metal parts was the simple
origin of reinforced concrete, whose
vast possibilities are sounded scarcely
more than the mysteries Of the heav-
ems. Steel and cement, experts find,
are happily mated. AS in all good
families, the qualities one lacks the
other has. Concrete is noted for re-
sisting compression and does not cas-
lily break down under gatherings Of
weather. Steel protected by cement
will not rust away, and it's elasticity
makes possible an ideal building ma
terial, strong, light, permanent. fire
proof and yet not brittle.

The World This Year Pays
Honor to Unsung Stone
mason of Leeds.

WaShington.-To Joseph Aspdin, an
unsung stonemason of Leeds, the
world pays honor this year for his
discovery which literally cements the
foundation stones of civilization.
The one hundredth anniversary of
Joseph Aspdin's experiment producing
artificial rock, yellow like the rock
from the Quarries Of Portland Is
marked by the erection in Leeds by
the American cement manufacturers
of memorial tablet to one "who
made the whole world his debtor"
Greater tribute to the vision of Jo-
seph Aspdin are endless white ribbons
of concrete highways the annual In
crease of which in the United States
alone would build three continuous
Lincoln highways from New York to
San Francisco" says bulletin of the
National Geographic society from its
headquarters in Washington.
"Cheops' great pyramid at Gizeh,
covering 13 acres and towering 481
feet, is still considered the worlds
most colossal man-made structure, yet
the little lump of stone made by JO-
lseph Aspdin in 1924 has grown so
great that the United States is esti-
mated to have poured in a year suffi-
cient concrete to erect 80 pyramids
like Cheops'. The 90,0O0,000 cubic
feet of the pyramid represent only
three-fifths of the concrete in the Pan
ANA canal.
"Aspdin must share with imperial
Rome part honor for giving the world
liquid stone. Rome used hydraulic
cement in her famous aqueducts, and
it was in search Of Rome'S secret. lost
for ten centuries, that Aspdin and.
others worked their way toward mod
ern concrete. Roman masons found
that by mixing lime with volcanic ash
from POzzuOli near Naples a mortar
imperviOus to water resulted. On this
discovery rested much of Rome's glory,
for the magnificence and extent of the
city was physically impossible with

Aspdin initiated Nature; the volcano
was natures kiln. The stOnemasOn,

Lehigh Is Cement Valley.
Although portland cement is pro-
duced in % states, the Lehigh valley
OF Pennsylvania is the Pozzuoli of the
United States. Silica, calcium and
alumina are the necessary cement in
gradients which are contained in rock
formations made to order in this
valley. "Crushers in the Lehigh
valley take blasted rocks as large as
five feet wide, three feet high and
ten feet long and MUNICH them readily
into bits. Other teeth grind the stone
to powder, which is mixed with water
to form sloppy 'slurry.' Under air
pressure this is blown into the man
made volcano, cement kiln, the
largest of which Is half as long as an
average city block and has a dame
ter Of ten feet. This tube is lined
with friedrich to withstand the ter
rife heat resulting from the burning
Of coal dust blown into the kiln from
the other end. In the throat of this
volcano a reaction occurs, transform
ing third of the stone into the active
principle of cement. An endless belt
brings candescent nodules out of the
kiln to more grinders, which crush
them to the fineness of flour. Six hun
dred pounds of raw materials and fuel
are required for every 376-pound bar
rel of cement.
Cement has itself created a sepa-
rate industry which has important
bearing on the prosperity of the south
ern states. Annually 1t requires
thirty million new cement sacks Of
finely woven cotton. To make these,
10000 acres of cotton must be grown
and 1000 looms operated every day
Of the year. Woven in one piece, 80
inches wide, the cloth that goes into
these sacks would unroll for 1900
miles.
Much as the Roman aqueducts
were the necessity that mOthered the
invention of the first hydraulic cement,
canals have produced modern cement.
Aspdin's portland cement was first
used extensively in the Thames tunnel.
Early American cement factories can
be traced by early American canals.

larized the product in the United

They used these quarters for holi-

Sand you enjoy your vacation so

Now the little girl never got quar-
ters in change-or very seldom-be-
cause she didn't have the big sums of
money which could be changed into
quarters.
But she said to herself:
II do have pennies. Sometimes
they are change from five-cent piece
when I've only wanted something that
cost one penny.
"Then I have four pennies in
change. Sometimes my daddy and my
mother give me pennies, and some
times I earn pennies running errands
and doing chores and all such things
II do believe I'll save pennies, and
then when get big amount I'll buy

( On her birthday and at Christmas
she received books for presents, but
she thought it would be so nice, too,
to get books out of her very own
money.
Then she would have her own real
library. She had been given little
old bookcase her mother had had as
a child, but at present there were not
many books in it.
She would like to fill it full OF
books. She would like to own books
so on rainy days and cold days, or
when she sat under the pine trees in
the summer or up in the old, gnarled
apple tree, she could read and re-read
her books.
If she owned her books they would
be as her own family. How beautiful
that would be. Her own family of
books!
So she saved every penny she re-
ceived.
She found that the pennies counted
up pretty fast and before long she

with lovely pictures-oh, such dear,

And the most wonderful thing OF
all was to think that even a little girl
could get big things such as books
which she really wanted out of little,
tiny pennies-just because she gave
the little, tiny pennies chance to be-

enough to get big books!
And her library was her very own.
