Postponed by War
Americans Session
To Be Held Here This
Month as Planned

The Fifteenth International Con-
gresS of Architects. which was to
have been held in Washington Sep
tember 24-30, has been indefinitely
postponed because of the war in Eu-
rope, 1t has been announced by Rich
mond H. Shreve of New York, eX-
ecutive officer of the congress. The
postponement was decided on at a
meeting of the congress Committee
on Organization. of which Charles
D. Maginnis of Boston is chairman.
while plans for the congress had
been completed, an adequate repre-
sentation of the nations of the world
was impossible owing to the course
of events in Europe" Mr.. Shreve
said. Perhaps one-third of the sew
eral hundred delegates expected are
already on their way. They will at
tend the list convention of the
American Institute of Architects,
scheduled in Washington during the
same week.
Notices of Action Cabled.
"The foreign group attending the
Institutes sessions will be comprised
chiefly of representatives of Canada
and South American countries. Sir
Raymond UnWin of England and
Jacques Greber of France are al
ready in America. The State De-
partment has cabled notice of the
postponement to all countries which
have named delegates, Numerous
events planned in connection with
the congress, including an official
banquet in Washington on Wednes-
day, September 27, and trips to his
toric places will be carried out un-

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Last Saturday we had several
letters from readers who spoke of
milk snakes which had taken milk
from cows. Today We shall have still
another letter, which comes from
Mrs Edward Wieske of Huntington
Park. Calf. She writes:
Il want to say that I have seen
q snake milk COW. This happened
81 years ago, when I was IL years
old. We lived on a farm at Pack
waukee, Wis. One of our COWS
was slowly drying up. One way of
making a cow go dry is to milk a
small amount each day, and
father thought one of the calves
which had just been weaned must
be causing the trouble
so was sent to watch this COW.
Each day she would go to certain
corner of the pasture The second
day. to my amazement, large
snake rose up and took hold of the
cows udder. The udder of this COW
was about IA inches above the
ground

snake could not have been biting
her. I was about 40 yeards away
and started chasing her. The snake
held on for about a hundred feet,
and then dropped off.
Il told my father, and he would
not believe it. So the next day. he
came out at noon, and watched the
same thing happen. Father killed
the snake, which was about three
and a half feet long. If the snake
was not milking our COW, what was
it doing?"
The letters I have received on
this subject have come chiefly from
readers living east of the Rocky
Mountains, in sections where milk
snakes are common.
Some snake experts have declared
that it is "just myth" that milk
snakes take milk from COWS. They
say the name was given by mistake,
since these snakes often are seen
in and about milkhouses and
dairies. The statement is made that
the reptiles come to barns to obtain
mice, not milk.

Today's hand represents a sue
cessful. but in our opinion entirely
unnecessary, false-card play by de-
clarer. Vests double was based on
the fact that he had obtained the
impression that North did not like
any part of the hand. He opened
the four of diamonds. A low card
was played from dummy and East
played the eight. In our opinion at
this point the simple play was for
declarer to win with the 10 and
lead the King right back Now,
unless West had the inspiration to
shift Immediately to a heart, de-
clarer would make his contract.
However, declarer decided that if
he adopted that line of play, West
would think of the heart shift.
Hence, he false-carded by winning
with the queen of diamonds instead
of the 10. He now laid down the
king OF spades. East won with the
ace and returned the jack of hearts.
Declarer played the ace and now
ran off five club tricks, letting go a
small diamond as the last discard
from his own hand Vests last six
cards were now the king queen
deuce Of hearts, the ace-jack of
diamonds and the 10 of spades, and
when South let 60 of a small dia-
mond, he was certain that the king
was now singleton. Hence he threw
away his deuce of hearts. Now de-
clarer cashed the queen of spades.

and in many places applications now
in the experimental stage.
The more generally used binders
for Zonolite are sodium silicate, by
drolized asphant, casein glue, gyp-
sum, lime, magnesia, paper pulp
and various organic fibrous mate
rials.
We in Montana feel that E. N
Alley should be given full credit
for the discovery of Zonolite togeth-
er with credit to his New York as

Zonolite to help him start the Zono-

who in the last five years, has put
it over in big way, thereby justify

bination with many other substanc-
es, both mineral and organic, as
binders in the making of many prod
ucts and its easy working qualities
in many of its applications permit
greater efficiency at a much lower
cost than in the case Of products
now being used.
The various uses of Zonolite may
be classified roughly under the fol-
lowing heads, although, of course,
these overlap somewhat:
Thermal Insulation and Fire
PROBING in Industrial Applications:
Pipe and boiler coverings in
both nodded and plastic forms are
made from Zonolite mixed with a
binder. This composition has high
resistance to heat and is remark
ably tenacious, requiring no pro-
tective covering or support to keep
it in place.
I'm safe and cabinet Filings
Zonolite is used in combinations
with hydraulic cement and other
commercial binders. 1t is being used
by several safe companies.
ga texture of quarter inch mesh
Zonolite is used for filling the walls
or shells of bake ovens.
4-Zonolite is used in dry form
for packing around water heaters,
steam pipes and water tanks.
5-A recent development is the
use of Zonolite in spelter pot insula-
ton in galvanizing processes.
6-Molded and plastic secondary
refractories and coverings for fire
brick are made with Zonolite in
combination with fireproof BINDERS
and used in some of the largest
steel mills in the country.
House Insulation and Building
Materials:
Furnace run Zonolite is poured
over ceilings and between hollow
walls for thermal insulation, sound
deadening and fireproofing, and this
use of the mineral is one of the
largest yet developed . Such in
sulation tends to equalize the tenn
perature all the year around, keep
ing out summer heat and winter
cold, and retaining artificial heat

INTEREST CHARGES LARGE.

Interest charges which the gov
eminent must meet in the coming
fiscal year will be nearly so per

By filling the spaces between the
walls, it eliminates drafts and will
also smother fire, thus working two
ways to reduce fire hazard.
Zonolite is very cheap insulat-
ing material when its comparative
cost per ton and light weight are
considered, and in this application
il has no equal. Insulating plas-
ter is composed of Zonolite and hard
wall, in the proportions in which
sand and hard wall are used usually
for hard wall plaster. The Zonolite
simply replaces the sand. This plas-
ter. is much lighter in weight than
ordinary plaster and has excellent
thermal insulation properties, which
ordinary hard wall plaster totally
lacks.
Zonolite acoustical and insulating
plaster is composed of Zonolite and
a paper pulp binder. 1t is very
different in appearance from ordi-
nary plaster 1t is golden brown in
color and more or less spongy and
resilient in texture. 1t is applied
easily and after drying out is full
of air spaces.
Miscellaneous Uses:
These include its use as electrical
insulation in a nodded form: as a
decorative material; as filter aid;
as lubricant in place of graphite,
in acoustic automobile mufflers;
