of the most enjoyable stopping places
we had visited on the entire trip. A
typical New Highlander came out tc

located in a spotlessly clean cabin. The

slightly hungry and ordered lunch
It was served with piping hot coffee
brought out by young ladv daughter
from the old farm house. The young

we were in conversation with her, We
told her we were in love with her

was built 200 years ago and he and
his ancestors had always lived in it.
His son had just recently married and
had brought his bride to the old home

BRICK TOWER
80 FEET HIGH

rived the first Of the week and will
have charge Of the new construction
he having been engaged in building
similar expanding units for the COM

high. Two chambers extend through
the tower from top to bottom. At one
side of the tower and at the bottom,
there is heating unit, operating with
fuel oil. A terrific heat is carried up
through one Of the chambers of the
tower which heats the adjoining cham
Der. The raw Zonolite is elevated to
the top of this second chamber and
dropped down through it, its fall being
broken by projections extending out
from the walls of the chamber and
which throw the Zonolite back and
forth as it falls. AT the bottom of this
chamber elevating machinery carries
the expanded product upward to stor-
age bins, The capacity of the new
tower will be Is tons of expanded ma
terial daily. 1t will be built into the
present plant.
There has been a pleasing increase
of business during the past year, said
Mr.. White. The local plant has been
kept busy in drying out the surface
moisture from the raw Zonolite as it
comes from the mine. operating "a
hours daily The dried product has
then been shipped to eastern calcining
plants where it was expanded for
the trade The increased demand for
the raw material in the East has pre-
vented use of the Libby plant for ex-
panding purposes. Hence the need for
the construction here Of the expand
ING tower
The new unit will require about four
weeks to build and Mr.. White will be

To all signers Of safe driving

To all signers of safe driving

Please see that your card is

the safety campaign is to have
its maximum results, all these

HULL RE|TERATES
WAR TRADE PLEA
Statement Comes on Eve of
Geneva Session on
Sanctions.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

On the eve of the meeting at Geneva
where the League of Nations will
finally decide the imposition of drastic
economic sanctions against Italy, Sec
retary Hull reiterated today his urging
to American business men not to deal
with the belligerents.
In reply TO questions by newspaper
men, as to whether the administration
is keeping in touch with exports to
belligerents. Hull stated:
We have been and are each day
giving the most diligent and earnest
attention to this aud other phases of
our situation as 1t relates to the
Ethiopian Italian controversy. At this
stage, I reiterate and call special at
tention to the definite implications
and the effect of the policy of this
Government to discourage dealings
with the two belligerent nations as
set forth in the Presidents public
statement of October 5 and my state
ment of October 10 warning our peo-
pie not TO trade with the belllgerents
except at their oWu risk
Policy Rests On Neutrality Act.
The policy of this Government, as
thus defined, rests primarily upon the
recent neutrality act designed to keep
the Nation out of war and upon the
further purpose not to aid in pro-
tracing the war.
1T is my opinion that our citizens
will not be disposed to insist upon
transactions to derive war profits at
the expense of human lives and human
misery. In this connection, again
repeat that an early peace with the
restoration Of normal business and
normal business profits is far sounder
and far preferable to temporary and
risky war profits"
Normally this restatement of policy
would have been without much
significance. But the League Of Ma
tions meets tomorrow to deal with
the momentous question OF sanctions.
Some nations, including Great
Britain, on which the main burden
