WASHINGTON, D. C. July 28. There is a dash of romance and a fairy story theme in the commonplace chug' and rattle of the concrete mixer. Everyone is conversant with the ordinary uses of Portland cement. Perhaps some first impressions of this
material date back to the delights of J
coasting on a bicycle over the even i limestone be used, and described the
suriace of a cement sidewalk backi
in the days when cement sidewalks were considered more or less of a luxury. Perhaps it was a cellar floor, or a foundation, or the sight of workmen mixing cement mortar. Years ago cement was an established member of the construction family, but the development of its uses during the last few years has been so varied and ro markabla that it is doubtful if the average citizen has even the remotest
idea of it The historical incident which brought about the need for Portland cement was the construction of the Eddystone Lighthouse in the English Channel in 1756 by an engineer named
John Smeaton, who while looking fori a mortar for this purpose discovered)
that an impure limestone containg a certain amount of clayey matter contained - hydraulic properties when calcined, or roasted. The cement used by Smeaton marked the beginning of modern cement making practice, but the early cements were different from the Portland cement of today, for natural cements depend on nature to prepare their material and are consequently restricted to the rocks having the proper proportions of materials in their make-up, and any variation in the composition cannot be regulated. Smeaton's discovery apparently stimulated interest in the industry. About' 1796 James Parker of Northfleet, England, patented a process for manufacturing cement by turning impure limestone almost to vitrification in ordinary lime kilns, and grinding the resulting clinker to powder. He gave this material the name of Roman
! cement. In France there had been
experimentation along similar lines. The first recorded manufacture of this product in the United States was
in 1819 in Madison county, N. Y., for the Erie Canal project and was developed by Benjamin Wright and Canvass White. All of the above cements may be classed as natural cement because they were prepared by burning a natural rock without previous preparation, and by grinding the burned' product to a fine powder. Almost 100 years ago, in 1S34, a

They may be built up and added to, re-arranged, taken apart or easily moved about. They are designed never to lose their symmetry and charm, no matter what arrangement.
