Like Looking at the Sun Looking into one of the huge rotary kilns where the raw materials for cement are burned into clinker is just like looking at the noonday sun. The terrific heat required makes a glare of light so intense that the glowing flame would temporarily blind you. But borrow the workman’s colored goggles to protect your eyes while "you take another look into the kiln. Then you will see a tornado of powdered coal —or gas or spraying oil —bursting into a sheet of sunwhite flame. Into the other end of the kiln flow the powdered limestone and shale [clay]—the raw materials for cement. As the slowly revolving kiln tumbles the materials about, they are subjected to gradually increasing heat During their three-hour journey through this inferno, moisture and gases are first given oS. Finally as the powdered materials reach the sun white flame, they half melt into glass-hard balls called “clinker.” This clinker, an entirely new chemical compound, when finely powdered is portland cement. Portland cement kilns consume great quantities of fuel — 30 pounds of coal orjts equivalent for each 94-pound sack of cement. For the whole cement making process the - consumption of coal is approximately 50 pounds a sack — more than half a ton of coal to a ton of cement.

Everybody, Nobody, Blamed for Herrin

THE United .States Coal commission in a report to President Coolidge on the causes of strikes declined to fix final responsibility for the Herrin massacre, but stroiujiy criticized public officials for [rev.nt the killings, the Southern Illinois Coal company for defying the union and inviting mob violence. and subordinate officers and members of the United Mine Workers who defended the outrage. “It has been suggested that this was a communistic movement,* said the commission, referring to the Herrin massacre. “It is true that communists have made efforts to establish organizations in that county and that a few foreigners were Induced to join; but there is no evidence that this had any relation to this lamentable and horrible occurrence. The voters lire intensely partisan and divide along normal lines with a negligible Socialist vote. “The Jo-al point of view is well stated in the veridet of the coroner's jtiry: ‘We, the jury*, find from the evidence that the deaths bf decedents' were duo to the acts, direct and indirect. of the officials of the Southern Illinois .

Resumption of relations with Mexico makes pos-dble the establishment of rhe direct air route from the I nlted States to the Panama- canal. Plans for such a route, as an important part of the defeiise system of the canal, have been held up for more than two jears because of seveml diplomatic relations. The Mexican government, it is said.

In mapping out plans tor an air route from the United Stales to Panama. three possible courses have been considered, The first of these, and the one wbi-li is regarded by experts as the most desirable.

THE 1024 Republican convention will m* a number of changes in respect t<» representation. according to the allotment of delegates to Mutes as announced by the national committee. The next convention will have u total of 1,096 delegates as against ‘JM i# 1920.

Illinois will have 00 delegates in the next convention, a gain of two, as la the case of other states electing Republican presidential electors. Under the plan adopted by the national committee. following the 1920 convention, each state will have four delegates at large, twd additional delegates at large for each state casting its electoral vote for the Republican ticket, one delegate for each congressional district casting Republican votes and an additional delegate for each district casting 10,000 or more Republican votes.

promoter of the Southern Illinois Coal company started to operate his mine in defiance of the union he was inviting mob violence arid flirting with death; he knew it and prepared to meet it. The resentment was spontaneous and instantaneous. He challenged the supremacy of’ the union. Those in the mob undoubtedly believed that it was an attempt to return to old conditions before the mines had been unionized. “There were, of course, fatal omissions of duty on the part of public officials, and neither the. officials nor the public wanted troops to protect the operator in bis union-destroying operations. It might have b-en stopped by the sheriff, by the officers of the miners' union, by public} sentiment, but all were for the union and all believed that an attempt was being made to destroy It. “This statement unfortunately can Ent end here. Clothed with all the charitable excuses above set out, these furnish no justification for the brazen audacity with which subordinate officials and members of the United Mine Workers of America defended tlie crime and the criminals. That they were espousing the cause and de'eniiing Oe lawbreakers is further shown to the permission by the fact that thev have since iibught tlie mine where the tragedy occurred, and have paid therefor $729,000.!*

NURSE FINDS A PERFECTREMEDY

“From my long experience as a nurse I do not hesitate to say that I consider Tanlac Nature’s most perfect remedy," recently declared Mrs. I. A. Borden, 425 Pontius Ave., Seattle. Wash. Mrs. Borden is a graduate of the National Temperance Hospital, Chicago, and her wide experience in caring for the sick lends particular emphasis to her statement. “I have used Tanlac exclusively for seven years in the treatment of my charity patients,” continued Mrs. Borden, “and my experience has been that, for keeping the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels functioning properly and for toning up the system In general. Tanlac has no equal. Recently I had a woman patient who could not even keep water on her stomach for fifteen minutes. Six bottles of Tanlac fixed her up so she could eat absolutely anything. Another patient, a man. seemed unable to digest any food at all. Three bottles of Tanlac put him In such fine shape he went'back to work. These two cases are typical.

! Odd Musical Instrument. The ordinary handsaw has appeared as a musical instrument One seeker after novelties uses a saw as a violin. After long experience and untiring practice he has actually succeeded in getting an agreeable music from the tool. He holds the saw handle between bls legs, holds the tip of the saw in one hand, and works the usual violin bow with the other. The vibrating steel blade emits soft, appealing notes, the pitch of which is varied by changing the curvature of the blade. All sorts of queer effects can be got by adept manipulation of the blade. Sometimes the music resembles the human voice; again it has the weird # wail of the Hawaiian ukelele.
