The usual

IL is DIFFICULT to imagine the world
today without some OF the things that
make our living in it SO pleasant and
comfortable. How naturally we lift the
telephone receiver, step into the auto
mobile, and look for the news of the
world i'm the neWspaper--every day of
our lives.
Another of these usual, invaluable
things, accepted as part of the routine
of existence, is the guidance given by
the advertisements in this newspaper
insupplying our wants from day to day.
We read them. They help us to save
time and money. And our lives go on
more easily and more fully
Every day the advertisements suggest
ways in which we can get things we
want with the greatest possible salts

Constitutional Orators.

For the flrst time in the history Of
the National Oratorical Contest Wash
ington wins. A District youth Edmund
A. Gullion, on Saturday night scored
first place in the field of seven con-
testants at Constitution Hall, with an
grafton and an impromptu speech that
gave him premier rank and the national
championship. For this distinction the
Capital is enthusiastically grateful. On
two other occasions the District has
taken second place, its representative In
the flrst contest indeed being tied for
highest rank in the first scoring Of the
judges, only to receive second rating on
a revision of the tally.
The seventh competition has been
more difficult than the others, for the
reason that the element Of impromptu
speaking has been added Those who
were present on Saturday night at the
contest finals could not fail to be deeply
impressed with the ability c. the seven
young men and women who represented
the country at large in their treatment
Of the topics that were handed to them
Immediately on completing their ora
tions. They had only forty-five minutes
each for the consideration Of these ques-
tons and their four-minute discourses
displayed a remarkable degree Of
acquaintance with the whole subject Of
constitutional history.
The preparation of the school pupils
throughout the country for these COM
petitions, especially on the latest lines
with irnpromptu speaking added as part
Of the test, is highly educative. It ia
to be doubted If an equal number Of
grown-ups could upon the same notice
have so effectively discussed the topics
that were treated huently, intelligently
and Understandings by these young
people Saturday night.

Mussolini.

II is well for the peace Of mind-if
not the peace Of Europe-that Signor
Mussoiini has ended his speechmaking
expedition through Northern Italy. A
few more demonstrations like that In
the Piazzi del Duomo at Milan on Satur-
day and no one could guarantee what
might happen on a continent which,
ever since Fascism assembled the throne
ut Rome, has lived as If atop a powder
barrel. Addressing a fervid throng of
$4,000 In the Cathedral City which
ranks az the cradle Of his creed, Musso-
lini stirred 1t to such q pitch of frenzy
that shouts Of Down With France!"
echoed thunderously into his ears as he
exhorted his black shirts to "let fly your
days and muskets!"
The world will make full allowance
for the invincihle exuberance of Ell
Duce's temperament, as it ungrudging-
ly acknowledges all that Fascism has
done to revivify Italy and galvanize her
national spirit into a new life of con-
struetive nationalism. But the world,
stumbling haItingly and Iaboriously to-
ward international peace, and bending
every effort at statesmen's command to
progress in that direction, is dismayed,
to put it mildly, at these sword flashes,
saber ratings and gun detonations
from Mussolini. 1t is bound to consider
them provocative, as they individually
are. 1t Is painfully reminded of their
almost textual resemblance to explosive

Society, held ct Toronto, announce
ment has recently been. made Of new
process Of brick manufacture 'nst
transcends anything history records
anything that modern metnoos nave
produced. A means has been developed
to make bricks twenty feet square, to
reinforce them with steel, to make them

pour" them into form as veneer for the
surfaces Of structures. like concrete.
This Is brickmakfng indeed.
The process, 1t appears. consists of
treating the raw material with heat
frst instead Of at the final stage. The
clay, after pudding, is made white hot,
at about 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, and
In a virtually molten state it Is
susceptible Of being cast into any form
or applied under pressure to any surface.
1t is contemplated that this material
will be available for road construction
IS well as for walls and floors. In
short, a new form of what is generally
styled concrete Is promised.
This new process may revolutionize
building. Already there have been
several revolutions" in the construction

application Of which strange new forms
have taken their place in the world.
Now perhaps the molten brick, product
Of the same sort Of clay that earliest
man used for his rude structures, will
effect another turnover in methods
and result in still newer forms.

Bricks Old and New.

Man has been making bricks for
Ouilding houses for SO many centuries
that the origin of the art is lost In
the perspective of time. From the
ground clay has been taken, kneaded
into a soft mass, perhaps mixed with
straw baked in the sun and laid in
Inits together to form walls. Some.
times the bricks have been given form
by being pressed into molds before
hardening. The earliest bricks, how
ever, were hand shaped and crudely
formed. Modern brickmaking has been
improved, speeded and perfected, 1t
would seem, until the ancient art has
been forgotten. 1t has been taken for
granted for some time, in these days
Of concrete construction, that brick
making has reached its peak.
But brickmakers have not completed
their course, by any means. At Q
