Through a Sieve Woven Finer Than Silk Raw materials of 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 will shake through a sieve that will actually hold water. 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 for several hours in huge rotary kilns. Here they are hall melted and become a substance much harder than the original rock ? 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 pordand cement. More than 80 power and fuel consuming operations are necessary in cement making. The electric power alone used in producing a 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.

The narrow plaiting shown in the deep ruffles Is being used in lace berthas, sleeves, tiers, bouffant drapes and even on lingerie.

"I suffered from stomach trouble and chronic indigestion which kept me in such a weak, nervous run-down con dition for fwo years that I could not attend to my household duties. Gas would form in my stomach, causing bloating, splitting headaches and suf focating spells when I would get so dizzy I would almost fall over. Pains around the heart worried me half to death and I fell off from 140 to 115 lbs. I could scarcely eat or sleep at all* "In a drug store I happened to hear of Tanlac, and began taking it.

PATIENTS AIDED BY RADIO Helped to Forget Their Shattered Nerves and Takes the Place of Sedatives. Combating the drug habit was not 1 among the uses to which it was be lieved that the radio could be put, even by its most optimistic promoters. I Yet it has been discovered that pa tients in hospitals equipped with radio | sets which can pass along afternoon | and evening concert programs, are , helped to forget their sufferings and are less in need of narcotics to quiet their shattered nerves. The radio goes far toward carrying into the wards the gayety and cheer that have been hitherto only for the healthy world outside. Inasmuch as all doc tors agree that many drug addicts ac quire the addiction during convales cence in hospitals, this achievement becomes one of the most important that has thus far been set down to the credit of the radio. The radio may remain a toy or a jest for the healthy and cynical. It has already estab lished itself as a hearven-sent blessing for shut-Ins. ? New York Tribune. Practical Evidence Wanted.

In a rugged, out-of-the-way region on the ocean side of the Coast ranges, in Monterey county, California, gold nuggets have been found of such size as to suggest that this was once a favorite retreat of the proverbial goose that laid the golden eggs. Mat ter-of-fact prospectors, however, have sought to find the veins from which such masses of gold, loosened by the weather, were washed into the stream beds. Their search has not been suc cessful, and J. M. Hill, a United States geolog|st 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 deposits are likely to be found by deep mining. The Coast ranges of California, unlike the Sierra Nevada, are not rich in gold, and the occurrence of these large nug gets does not necessarily indicate the existence of a rich deposit of gold ore.
