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.

I "Moyen-Age" Fashions Again;
Wash Dresses Show Variety
XX7ITH the advent of real fall
* " weather the new styles in suits
and dresses are called on to meet the
acid test of popular taste. Early
models have been with us for several
weeks and these show the trend of the
fashion, although they do not definite
ly establish it. In garments now be
ing shown there is a tendency toward
a slightly different silhouette than
that of the late summer and between
season styles. Skirts are still long
but will probably become shorter.

terns in familiar materials, especially
in printed cottons, contribute more to
the element of novelty than anything
else.
Ratine has come to the fore this sea
son and an attractive model is shown
in the Illustration.
The dress at the left is of plaid
ratine in blue and tan. The collar
and cuffs are of white pique and are
of course detachable so they may be j

The intricate and graceful draperies

shoulder line and ornaments the two
pockets on the skirt. Collar and
cuffs are of gray faille silk. With this
costume is shown an extremely new
and smart hat and bag set. Both hat
and bag are made of bright green
leather trimmed with celluloid orna

Crepe de chine is used in making
the afternoon gown shown at the
right. The short sleeves and draped
skirt are trimmed with deep ruffles of
plaited georgette finished with an
edging of white lace. In this costume, |
the elaborately-draped skirt shows the j
most significant change in recent
fashions. The narrow plaiting shown
in the deep ruffles Is being used in lace
berthas, sleeves, tiers, bouffant
drapes and even on lingerie.
Wash dresses vary only a little
from one season to another since I
they must all be designed with an
eye to usefulness and comfort, and
must be put together so that they will
launder easily. Nevertheless the ele
ment of style and attractiveness
grows more and more Important in

laundering does not change them.
These tub dresses belong to several
classifications, and have varied names
? as morning dresses, house dresses,
apron dresses, bungalow dresses or
simply wash dresses. There are little
shades of difference in them ? apron
dresses, for instance, are those de
signed for wear at housework and
nowhere else, while some wash dresses
may venture on the street,, but are
still in the class of utility dresses.

How Tanlac restored Jier to perfect
Health, adding twenty-five pounds to
her Weight within two months time,
was recently related by Mrs. L. R.
Boiling, 225 North Dawson Street,
Raleigh, N. 0.
"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. Inside
of two months I was in perfect health
and had gained twenty-five pounds*
and how I feel better than in years.
Tanlac is the best stomach medicine
made, I believe.""

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.

ORIGIN OF GOLD NUGGETS
United States Geologist Says Finding
of Hu^e Pebbles Does Not In
dicate Large Vein.
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.
