MONTHS BRICKS

Production Of Permanent
Building Material
Continues Gain.

The brick manufacturers are very
busy is statement that could no
.!eabt be found repeated many times
IN many a=os, when thumbing through
no papyrus records Of ancient Egypt
and the burned clay tablets of Baby
lonia. and the same can be said today
of the brick manufacturers of the
United States. Brick delivered on
the job" during the month of Septem-
Der alone by the entire industry would
be sufficient to build over twenty
thousand six room solid brick houses.
Assuming that there are five people
in the average family these houses
would provide living quarters for
every man. woman and child in a
city Of one hundred thousand inhabi-
tants, and these living quarters would
be built with solid brick walls and
foundations throughout, providing the
maximum of permanence, low fire loss
and reduced upkeep expense to that
small army of people, according to
the Common Brick Manufacturers of
America.
To have survived through the ages
and to be now one Of the basic in
dustries of the nation is proof that
brick is thoroughly good building
material, one that can always be re-
lied upon. a..
TRUE THRIFT.
There are, unfortunately, few
INSCRIPTIONS concerns that are today
trying to palm off upon the public
unburned materials that look like
brick, but which are composed of
questionable ingredients. These peo-
pie are attempting to sell their prod
uct upon the wonderful reputation
that brick has established itself, and
the public should beware of these
limitations. Brick is the product of
the building experience of many ages
and is today the cheapest manufac-
tured material on tie market. What
other masonry unit. capable of Civ
ing 5000 years service, can be bought
and delivered where it is wanted for
about q cent and half for a five
pound piece? There is at least one
brickyard in the United States which
uses as its raw material clay dug out
Of easements being eScavated in the
vicinity. To the economist this af-
fords a wonderful lesson. The clay
or dirt is shaped by q simple pro-
cess Of manufacture into suitable
units, the units burned in kiln and
then built into walls which will for
ever swell the total wealth of the
community, and in this process all
the money that is paid for wages and
for operating the plant is kept right
at home. The city which builds of
brick from the clay dug at its back
door is practicing the truest kind of

She led us to little square court
yard, open to the sky, and with door
in each wall. We had entered by one,
| through another we could see the
| wedding feast, over the second hung a
long curtain of white mosquito netting,
and from third came the singing we
had heard. Towards this third door
we were guided and entering, found
ourselves in long, dim room, crowd
ed with Arab women all as interested
in seeing US as we were in seeing
them The bride and groom, it seem
ed, were being introduced to one an
other in the third room, behind the
curtained doorway.
There was every imaginable .cos-
tune, from the simple white wool
robes to the wells and gay coin head
dresses of two dancing girls, imported
to amuse the guests. Robes of dark
stuff were fastened to the shoulder
with silver pins. many shawls were OF
hand woven silks in deep rich colors
and everyone clanked and jingled with
l. L.. IT, III.
Seen without their wells, many OF
the women were very pretty, with
creamy compilations, enormous dark
eyes, and beautiful hair. But nearly
every face was tatooed in tiny patterns
and, perhaps in retaliation, most OF the
women also considered washing as
useless waste of time as did the men!
The room we stood in was simply
furnished, at one end the vanished
wardrobe had been installed-along
the long wall was a low divan, painted
green and heaped with curbions, and
and over it hung dim mirror in a
Enthusiastically painted frame. This
room was the bedroom, and the wo-
men were busily engaged in construct
ing the bed, with the mattresses we
had seen. The mattresses were piled
six deep on high platform at the
further end of the room, under al
canopy of coarse white lace and mos
quito netting.
All the time we had been talking and i
observing, the women had never
ceased their song, although it had be-
come rather feeble chirp while they

SHENANDOAH VALLEY Nine

Last summer, +. A. Conrad, OF the
University of Arizona, made tour
through the Shenandoah Valley. He
was attracted to this section by articles
he had seen about its scenery and
roads.
Recently he sent to the Shenandoah
Valley, Inc., song, which he said his
Valley trip inspired, entitled "Shenan.
doah Valley Mime" written to the
tune of Maryland, My Maryland"
This song is as follows:
/ love thy landscape and thy sky,
Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy fields of grain, thy Mountains high.
Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy orchards and thy laden vines,
Thy woods of oak and stately pines,
Thy every flower that upward twines,
Shenandoah Valley mine.
! love thy brooks and mountain streams.
Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy hills and caves where beauty CLEANS
Shenandoah Valley mine.
Thy flocks and herds in sunny delIs,
Thy sky-larks and thy charming bellies,
And every tale thy history tells"
Shenandoah Valley mine.
love thy cities far and wide,
Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy homes where peace and love abide
Shenandoah Valley mine,
Thy schools and churches, artand song
l"Thy love Of right, thy hate OF wrong
And all thy people brave and strong,
