IT promise not to rob a birds

animal, and I will strive to keep
others from doing these things to
the best of my ability. I will en-

PATENT FOODS HIT

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 18.-Patent med
icines are being backed off the stage by
patent foods, advertised to make the
human race thin, fat, beautiful or full
of 'it," DR.. w. McKim Marriott of st.
Louis, noted dietitian, declared before
the 300 medical men assembled yeSter-
day in the annual congress of the Medi-
cal Education Council of the American
Medical Association.
DR.. Marriott, who spoke on 1.-THE
Uses of Proprietary and Medicinal
Foods in the Hospital" is professor of
pediatrics and dean of the School of
Medicine in Washington University in
addition to being physician -chief of
the St. Louis Children's Hospital.
Careful scientific investigation today
Is serving to define the function OF va
rious food constituents, he said. But
as in all scientific endeavor there ex-
lists border fringe of pSeudo-science,
the food fakir follows closely behind
the nutritional investigator" he said.
Newspapers, magazines, medical jour-
nails are filled with food advertisements,
some of which rival the patent medi-
cine in its heyday of glory. All this
handicaps the legitimate food manufac-
turers, who are supplying clean, pure,
tasty foods III convenient forms for use
and are marketing them for what they
are worth"
DIR. Marriott called attention to the
commission Of foods which the Amer
lean Medical Association has, establish
ed to investigate the constituents of
proprietary foods offered to the medical
profession. Results of these investiga-
tons will be published, he said.

SECRET OF MAKING GIANT BRICK
BY STEEL-LIKE PROCESS IS Barred
Huge Blocks That Can Be Made of Inferior
Clays May Be Reinforced With Metal
While White Hot, Scientist Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO. Ontario, February ia
The secret of making 20-foot bricks
and nodded sides of small houses was
laid before the American Ceramic So
ciety here today.
1t is a new process, in which bricks
are made much like steel, of molten
raw material While the clay is white
hot. at about 1000 degrees Farenheit, it
is shaped and pressed, and it is claimed
that bricks thus can be made enor-
mously larger than anything hitherto
practicable. Always heretofore bricks
have been shaped before baking, and
the old process limits size.
Prof. Joseph B. Shaw, head Of the
department of ceramics of Pennsylvania
State College, inventor of the method,
said that the new bricks can be rolled
like steel. They can be made REIN
forced with steel laid in the molten
clay. The process dips into another OF
the practical building arts by making
brick veneer. One brick can be i'm
pressed upon another to form a single
structure. They are annealed like
metal.
So for as ne has been able to dis
cover, Shaw said, clay products never

THREE FOR 20 CENTS
TOKEN RATE is ASKED
Petition Is Filed With Public Util-
tiles Commission by William
NICK. Clayton.

William NICK. Clayton. representing
the Federation of Citizens Associations,
today filed with the Public Utilities
Commission a petition that street car
tokens be sold on all cars at the rate of
three for 20 cents This would not
change the price of the tokens, but, Mfr
Clayton commended. would make them
more readily available to those who
have only 20 instead of 40 cents III their
pockets.
Some time ago, before the present
commissioners took office, the companies
were ordered to sell the tokens at that
rate, but the order specified only that
they should be sold at the car barns
and at the Offices of the company. This
order, Mr.. Clayton commended, had been
abortive. He said that the only way
of making use effectively Of the three
for 20 cents rate was TO order tickets
sold at that rate everywhere where they
are sold at the six for 40 cents rate.

search was undertaken to produce new
paving material
Prof. Shaw said the method has ad-
vantages in low production costs, and
can use clayS too poor for present prac-
tice. The big bricks can be made light
or heavy, the latter possessing the
greater strength. The lightest weight
thus far made is about half that Of
