WHEftT EMBARGO UTBEILLEEIt Bp United Xewt CHICAGO, Xov. 8. —An embargo or, Canadian wheat will not be levled by thè Interstate commerce commlssion because thè commission doubts its legai authority to take such a step, and also because of apprehension over possible ìntemat'onal compllcatlons resulting from such a drastlc move, it e, e Tuesday. A telegram from thè interstate coirne' -e commission received by thè American Farm Bureau Federation re. ised thè request for an Immediate embargo made by thè federation in behalf of its membership of 1,500,000 tarmerà. BOYIS SUSPECTED Mrs. L. Gates, 2178 X. Talbot St., reported to police toda.v that $3 in money and laundry valued at $25 were stolen from her home early today. Mrs. Gates told police her daughter had noticed a colored boy in thè rear of thè yard. CLOTHESLINE ROBBED Mrs. Henry Litman, 2128 X. Pennsylvania St., reported that a thief stole clothing- from thè clothes line in her yard last night. She said thè thief took a sheet, eight pillow slips, six bath towels, and three small towels.

What becomes of 30,000,000 cemenf sacks a yeaar? Practically 90 per cent of thè 95,000,000 barrels of portland cement shipped last year was delivered in returnable cotton sacks. To supply users of cement promptly, thè industry must have about 200,000,000 sacks either on hand or in use. The sack method of shipping is most convenient. There are four sacks to a barrel. Each sack contains 94 pounds of cement —a cubie foot. And a cubie foot is a handy volume in proportioning concrete mixtures. When cement is shipped, thè sacks are billed to thè purchaser. When they are retumed, they are bought back at thè sanie price if they are in usable or repairable condition. This involves much work in checking, cleaning, sorting and repairing. But in spite of thè fact that every good cement sack is redeemable, 30,000,000 of thè sacks shipped every year f ail to come back—a loss of nearly $5,000,000 a year at present prices of new sacks. To replace these “lost, strayed or stolen” sacks requires annually over 30,000 bales of cotton. It requires that thè textile industry weave a strip of doth 30 inches wide and 17,000 miles long. It means that 1,600 looms are kept working full time for a year. Thousands of sacks retumed to thè cement mills for redemption re damaged, yet accepted for credit, if they can be repaired. This repair is done by thè cement manuf acturer at his own expense. A medium sized plant shipping, say 1,000,000 barrels of cement a year, has to repair an average of 6,000 sacks per day from among those returned for credit. This keeps 6 people constantly working at rapidly operated electric sewing machines. In a million barrei a year plant, 22 people are constandy employed sorting, counting, repairing and otherwise caring for retumed sacks so that they may again be used. At thè present time $30,000,000 would be a conservative estimate of thè investment which thè cement industry has in cotton sacks. Sacks are one of thè lesser, but nevertheless important items in thè cement industry. PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION oA National Orvanization to Improre and Extend thè Usa of Concrete Adanla De. Moine.
