Raw materials o! which portland
cement is made come out of the
' ground usually as solid rock. .
They must first be crushed,
ground and reground until at least
85 per cent of the resulting powder
wijl shake through a sieve that will ,
1 actually hold water. v
) This sieve is considerably finer
than the finest silk fabric. It has
200 hair-like bronze wires to the
inch. That means 40,000 holes to
the square inch. '
But the several crushings and
, grindings necessary to reduce solid
rock to this extreme fineness are
only the beginning of cement
making.
The powdered materials must then be sub
jected to intense heat ior several hours in
, huge rotary kilns. Here they are hall melted
and become a substance much harder than
the original rok clinker, it is called.
Then the clinker must be crushed and
ground until at least 78 per cent of the result
ing product will pass through the sieve woven
, finer than silk. This is portland cement
More than 80 power
, operations are necessary in cement making.
The electric power alone used in producing
barrel of portland cement would, if pur
chased at usual household rates, cost $1.70.
Few manufactured products go through ;
so involved or complicated a process as port
land cement. And it sells for less per pound
than any comparable manufactured product

RESPONSIBLE
SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
BATCH OF 12 OPINION IN
SECOND FILING.
JUSTICE KERIQT CURKSON
Employe Was Being Transported Frem
His Work to Plymouth By His
i
Foreman
1 Raleigh.
In a dozen opinions, comprising the
second fall filing, the North Carolina
Supreme Court held that the Atlantic
Coast Line was not at fault in 1918
when an employe was Injured in a
collision between a rail gas car and
an automobile when the employe was
being transported from his work to
Plymouth by his foreman in order that
his selective service questionnaire
might be filled out
The appeal was by the plaintiff Hay
wood Gardner from a Judgment of non
suit in 'Washington county at the
hands of Judge John Kerr at the April
(1923) term of court According to
the facts in the case, Gardner was a
section hand on the Atlantic Coast
Line and on the day of the accident
quit work at noon and was carried to
Plymouth by his foreman, R. U. Rob
ertson, on the gas car used by the
railroad. The accident occurred at a
grade crossing and Gardner, it was al
leged, was permanently injured. Jje
railroad paid his hospital bill and ex
aense of treatment In Richmond.
Justice Heriot Clarkson, writing the
opinion of the court said.
"From the facts, we can see no duty
that the defendant Owed the plaintiff
that It failed to discharge. It was a
kindly, gratuitous and friendly act
that one man snowing to another by
borrowing the defendant's motor car
and the use of Its tracks to do a neigh
borly act. Now shall the defendant
respond in damages? We cannot so
hold. The foreman was not acting, at
the time, in the scope of his employ
ment. He was not about his master's
business but doing a kindly, generous
act on his own responsibility. The
accident was unfortunate and deplor
able but we cannot charge negligence
and duty to these defendants.

in its regular monthly meeting, hand

with the daily Job of building good
roads. All members were present ex
cept Commissioner W. A. Hart.
The meeting was described by Com
missioner John Sprunt Hill as one of
the most uneventful yet held, as it
affected developments of news inter

To Pay Off Bond Issues.
North Carolina will pay off its bond
issues with- proceeds from automobile
license and gas taxes, Secretary of
State W. N. Everett said here.
Mr. Everett asserted that the peo
ple should co-operate more with the
officials in . the enforcements of the
auto license laws. Every cent realiz
ed from the licensing of automobiles,
the official said, saves that much in
taxes to the people and leaves that
much more' for, the further conduct
of the good roads program. ,If tax
payers who hate come up and paid
their license taxes would only report
those who have not done so, then
they would help themselves for there
would then be this additional money
for roadbuildlng. ;

eral prominent citizens of Burke coun
ty, and the further fact that he has
a sister and 'her family dependent
upon him, were responsible for the
parole. The case was presented. to

Low Fire Loss In North. State.
"A high water mark for low fire loss
record" was the paradoxical epigram
Used by State Insurance Commission
er Stacy W. Wade In announcing that
the fire in North Carolina in Auguet
was $84,689 from 88 fires, as compared
with the former low record of June,
1922, when there was a loss of $105,908
in 96 fires.
In August, 1922, there were 121
fires, representing a loss of $221,298,
according to records. -
Analysis of the detailed first re
port Issued by Commissioner Wade
shows total property at risk in Au
gust this year, is valued at $1,426,000,
oa which insurance was carried in the
sum of $1,325,000. Of the total loss
of $84,689, $56,000 was due to seasonal
and extra hazardous risks In a rela
tively small number of fires, accord
ing to the report, which gives as losses
in this class a saw mill and lumber
plant burned at a loss of $35,000;
fires due to lightning, $11,000; and to
bacco curing barns, $11,600.
The actual normal fire loss was
given as $27,189. Of this loss, 88
town and six rural dwellings had a
damage of $21,664, leaving the normal
fire loss In all the factories, stores,
warehouses, garages, churches, schools
and other buildings at $5,525, accord
ing. Besides the destruction of one
store by lightning, there were only
three store fires In August and the
total loss In these totaled only $125,
the report stated.
Not a single hotel fire was reported
In August,, although there were hun
dreds of mountain, seashore and
spring resorts open besides the regu
lar commercial hostelries. In this
connection Commissioner Wade said:
"If every month could show the ab
sence of high losses from business and
Industrial fires as had the month of
August, North Carolina would be at
the head of the national fire loss list
evqry month, as it does this month,
snd millions of dollars would be saved
In both property and insurance costs.
It shows every month that the masses
of the people are being most careful
with fire, while the losses really come
from the business population, general
ly conceded to be the promoters and
conservators of wealth and progress,
and more largely concerned for safety
first providence."
Out of 106 organized fire depart
ment towns and cities in the state,
the total fire loss was $19,000, an av
erage of $175 per city, with not a
single fire in the $5,000 and more
class, stated the report.
One hundred and twenty-four towns
and 26 pountles reported no fire losses
snd were placed on the insurance
partment's honor roll. Durham and
Henderson went on the honor roll tor
the second month In succession.
Among the other towns and cities re
porting no fires, were Goldsboro, Wil
son, Greenville, Washington, Eliza
beth City, Oxford, Clinton, Concord,
Monroe, Gastonla, Lumberton, Mount
Airy, Lenoir, Lexington, Salisbury
and Statesvllle. Among the counties
placed on the honor roll were Wake,
Gaston, Davidson, Iredell, Rocking
ham, Robeson, Haywood and Lee.
Structures involved in fires were
given as follows: Dwellings, 44;
stores, 4; factories, lumber plants, ga
rages and unstored automobiles, three
each, with nominal losses; churches,
one, by lightning.
Causes or types of fires were given
as follows:
Tobacco curing barns, 19; shingle
roofs and defective flues, 17: un
known, 14; lightning, 8; smoking, 4;
oil stoves, 3; adjoining building, 5.
The fire . loss for August for athe
United States and Canada, according
to Information received and announc
ed by the state insurance department
approximated $24,474,300, representing
an increase of over $3,000,000 over the
fire losses for the same month last
year, but a decrease of more than $3,-
000,000 from July, this year. Con
trary to conditions in North Carolina,
it was said, much of the increased loss
was attributed to seasonal fires ia
summer resort hotels scattered over
the United States and Canada. The
fire loss in the United States and Can
ada for the first eight months of this
year was announced as $274,016,250,
representing an increase over the same
period of last year of about twenty
one -million dollars.

ORIGIN OF GOLD NUGGETS
United States Geologist Say a Finding
of Hue Pebbles Does Not In
dicate Large Vein. j
In a rugged, out-of-the-way region
on the ocean side of the Coast ranges,
In Monterey county, California, goldt
nuggets have been found of such slzef
as to suggest that this was once a
favorite retreat of the proverbial
goose that laid the golden eggs. Matter-of-fact
prospectors, however, have
sought to find the veins from which
such masses of gold, loosened by tha
weather, were washed into the stream
beds. Their search has not been suc
cessful, and J. M. Hill, a United States
geologist of the Department of the In
terior, in a report Just published, sug
gests that the nuggets came from rich?
superficial pockets in very small veins,
and that no large and rich deposrts are,
likely to be found by deep mining.
The Coast ranges of California, unllka
the Sierra Nevada, are noc rich in gold,
and the occurrence of these large nuggets-
does not necessarily indicate tha
existence of a rich deposit of gold ore.
