Build Fort for
War in 4 Hours
Army Officers See Dem
onstration Of Vacuum
Concrete Process.

WASHINGTON. - Before high
ranking army and navy officials and
foreign military attaches new and
evolutionary method of construct
ing concrete fortres ses, bombproof
du gouts, and machil e gun nests was
demonstrated at the bureau Of
st ndards.
The audience witnessed the con-
st--uction Of a Soften pill box fort
W so-called vacuum" concrete.
The fort was ready for use four
hours after the conci etc was poured.
Ordinarily it takes several days for
concrete to harden.
Point to Unusual Speed.
The process was used in the DEM
onstration for the first time for mill
tary purposes. Witnesses agreed
that the fortress Of the future, par
ticularly in those nations more in
teTested in defensive than In offen-
sive warfare, will take advantage OF
the unusual speed and strength pos
sible by means Of this most recent
Development.
The process was invented by Karl
P. Billner Of New York city. It
has already been used to advantage
In the construction Of concrete
houses, in public highways, and for
other purposes, but it is expected to
be of special service in time Of war
By means of vacuum" concrete,
eonbproof shelters and fortresses
could be built in one evening and
harden and be ready for warding
off attack at dawn on the following
morning, Billner said Not only does
this new process sa re time in con-
stTuction and otherwise, he added.
but the resulting fortress Is much
stronger than those Of other types
AMI the cost of cons -ruction is less.
Standard M! Used.
II the demonstrat. On standard ce-
m, ut, sand and brok IN stone, mixed
with water, were poured into forms
or molds at a. n. These forms
were of wood. althov gh in standard
lied construction they probably will
be Of thin steel or aluminium sheets,
with the proper bracing, so as to
be very light and easily transport
able, in sections.
After the concrete mixture was
poured into the molds, the vacuum
process was applied and at p. m.
the forms were removed.
Briefly, the vacuum process is
me :hod Of removing from concrete.
aft er 1t has been placed in the
forms, all excess mixing water-the
we .er which has been added to
make the concrete liquid enough to
fow readilysinto the forms, Billner
explained.

GIVING


The piping of children's voices
mingled with the deeper tones OF
father and mother, and an occasion
al chuckle and ripple of laughter
drew my attention to a picnic that
had assembled under a brilliant au-
tumn tree on a beautiful Saturday
afternoon.
The father had stretched himself
on the fallen leaves, and four little
ones played beside him. The mother
seemed to be knitting. The picture
gave the impression Of satisfying Sc
renity, of quiet fun, and i said to my
self, Those youngsters are lucky
their parents are giving themselves
to their children"
The scene recalled happy days in
my own childhood that stand out as
delightful memories, when our ia
tffer would wander with us in the
woods, show us how to make whis-
Ties from twigs, hunt indian pipes
and Initiate birdcalls. He would re-
lax, grow playful, smile and be hap
by. | remember and love my father
best as he was In these moods.
one incident l cannot forget. On
a trail found a Knife. What a treas
ure! I'd never possessed one before.
Eagerly showed him my find.
How distressed the owner will
bel" he exclaimed. Perhaps one of
those boys who passed dropped the
knife. Wen try to find them"
can see that little white knife to
this day and the owners happy face
when we did find him. l can recall
the keen disappointment at not be-
ing able to keep the penknife and
remember the clear consciousness
that 1 had of the rightness of giving
1t back.
We may not be able to give az
many things as we wish to our chill
education. music
lessons and other advantages that
require money, but we can give our
selves. Some philosophy Of life that
we've proved, some appreciation of
nature, our viewpoint on current is
sues, a right way to face trouble, !
courage for the right, a sense of
humor, all these are precious, our
pearls gained during our years of
living. And we can pass them on if
we will, merely by letting little ones
share our lives.
But these things cannot be passed /
on If we always drive the children
from us. It's so easy to tell them to
run and play" instead, the inter-
ests and activities of the home
should be shared by all. J
''My children won't come out with
me-" declared one mother. "They
don't care for walksl"
Neither do mine, but there's
whoop Of delight at mention of a
picnic, or camping expedition. or
even a hike with a definite Obiec-

SPRUDENT INVESTMENT"
THEORY

Testimony produced by the COM
mittee investigating the iva tells
of the Authority purchasing $50
acres of phosphate lands in Tonnes
see for the sum of $3.50, 900. The SELL
er, private corporation, had bought
the lands a short time before for
! $125,OOO. A high official OF the iva
told the Congressional committee
that he was not aware that the SELL
er was making such a handsome
profit-but that he would have APP
proved the purchase anyway, be-
cause the deposits were need in the
Twas fertilizer program.
The New York World Telegram
says: Assuming that the phosphate
lands are worth all iva paid, still
1t seems altogether probable that the
iva might have men a better bar
gain IL 1t had shopped around a lit
tie. Phosphate deposits, we under
stand, are rather widespread in that
region, and even If this particular
deposit was the most desirable, il
seems not unlikely that the price
might have been whitfield down If
the iva Board had taken just the
customary let-the-buyer beware eau
ton of finding out what the 'pru-
dent investment value had been be-
fore the iva entered the market as
a well-heeled bidder.
Anyhow, there was no reason
for making a hurried purchase.
President Roosevelt, who has taken
quite an interest in conservation OF
pohsphates and is himself something
Of an authority on the subject, sent
massage to the last session OF
Congress saying that the country
possesses known deposits OF that
substance sufficient to
last HOO years. most of these de-
posits being owned by the govern
ment."
This isn't the first example of APP
gross waste of the taxpay-
ers' money by the iva. And there's
nothing surprising in 1t to the stu
dent of the history Of government
owned business. There seems to be
about government in bus
mess that makes efficiency and eco
nomy next to impossible. When
you've the public treasury back Of
you,. why haggle over a few hundred
thousand dollars?
The Congressional committee
would do well to look further into
IVA expenditures and activities.
Ifter all. the people have been pay
ng through the nose for this exper-
ment in socialism-and they're en- {
tiled to know where their money
rent.

The Tale Of The Cow

Christopher Columbus mixed in q
bull and several cows among his
crew and supplies when he set sal
on his second trip to open a new
deal in a new country. According to
statistics there are now 24,902, O0O
cows in the United States. In the
lifetime Of a COW she produces five
or tenor maybe twenty-duarts OF
milk daily. except when she takes
time of TO have a calf; and after
she's all worn out her owners trade
her into the butcher, and use the
allowance to buy electric mixers
and perfect sanitary conditions in
the farm.
Each COW in time Of production
furnishes enough milk for five per-
sons-cOmparing figures Of pOpula-
ton of people and cows. So, don't
attempt to discount the size and inn
portance OF bossy's job. II you have
any such inclinations dismiss them
until you read the figures on month

ago by your own United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
In the official statement the far
mers were shown to have received
765 million dollars from January to
the last day of June this year for

that returned farmers
