Abrams at Lewis Institute. These tests were | said to be the first of this type. | Concrete cylinders once cracked and | retested after eight years' exposure to | the weather were found to be more | than two and one-guarter times as strong as they were when the original | test was made. When they were | examined before retesting, practically all of the cracks caused by the high | pressure had disappeared. It was | known ~ that concrete gained in | strength with age but Prof. Abrams’ |test gave definite knowledge con cerning the healing properties of con- | | crete which was kept moist. The original test was made in 1917 | | by applying an average pressure of | | one and one-fifth tons per square inch | to a number of 28-day old concrete cylinders, six by twelve inches, which | was sufficient to cause cracking. This | month another compressive strength | test was made with these same cylin- | ders, which then withstood an average pressure of more than two and a half | | tons per square inch, a pressure 228 | | per cent as great as the blocks were | | able to bear eight years ago. | " Fine cracks which appeared in a | test concrete highway bridge when it | was subjected to a_ tremendous load |later closed up. The cracks were -arefully mapped and photographed | after two preliminary tests had been im:u!e. A year later, when the bridge | | was greatly overloaded again, com- | | parison revealed that many of the old | cracks did not reopen, but new cracks appeared under the unusuel strain.| | Prof. Abrams stated that this con-| dition was due to the healing of the | | cracks and the forming of a joint | | even stronger than the unbroken con- | crete.

By the Associated Press PARIS, July 4.—America’s Inde pendence day was celebrated in tradi tional form in France's capital today with the dedication of the new em bassy as the principal feature of the program Execises schools « were held in most of the 1d other institutions having American connections or benefiting rom American endowments, and the city was gay with the interwined Tr! or and Stars and Stripes. The annual pilgrimage to Lafay ette’s tomb in Picpus Cemetery was followed by the placing of wreaths on his statue in the Louvre Garden, and on the monument to the American volunteers who served with the French forces in the World War. As was the case last year, a dele- gation from the American Legion was | accorded the privilege of replenishing the “pepetual flame” above the tomb of the Unknown Poilu in the Arc de Triomphe. The Navy was represented in the celebration by a contingent from the U. S. S. Pittsburgh, flagship of the squadron in European waters. The embassy’'s new home, purchased for $200,000, is a handsome building once the residence of former Presi dent Jules Grevy overlooking the Trocadero Gardens. Among the gifts displayed for the first time to visitors to the embassy were a portrait of Washington, pre. sented by Ogden Mills, and one of Franklin, given by Mrs. Whitelaw Reid; a tapestry from Sir Joseph Du- veen, candelabra from Mrs. C.

Sounding a warning against forces | which he said are seeking to destroy |confidence in the American form of | government, Maj. Gen. Amos A.

Fries asserted, to “fill the text books for our children with thoughts and ideas that our ancestors were neither honorable, patrfotic nor brave. “If you kill patriotism and love of country in our youth the general continued, “they will fail the country in the years to come. There are those who object to any word about the military prowess of our ancestors and seek to eliminate from our history all reference to what they are pleased to call the ‘pomp and glory' of war. But we cannot tell our children, we can- not record for posterity the method “Muster Day” in New England First Defense Test on Record in' America All Able-Bodied Men Were Required Four Times a Year to Drill With Companies—The War of Independence History Shows. sary of national Independence day as defense day, as suggested by President Coolidge, on the line of Muster day of colonial times, re- alls the very beginning of the na- tional military protection under the thrilling sounds of the fife and drum of what has long since passed into history as Muster day in New Eng- land.” Immediately following the American War of Independence the several States of the new Republic enacted military laws of their own. In New York every able-bodied male between 18 and 45 was required to meet with his company four times each year for training and discipline, once by bri- gade, once by regiment and twice by company, for such length of time as the governor might direct. Similar laws were in force in the New Eng- land States, also in all of the original 13 States and upon them was based the United States law of 1792, which sought to establish a uniform militia throughout the country. It has been said that the good old method of na- tional military defense under the fea- tures of the original establishment of a uniform militia_throughout the much as the President is commander- in-chief of the militia only when it is in actual service of the United States. Speaking of Muster day England, F. Mather In Lippin- cott’s, in 1885, says “the several States therefore, kept up their ununiformed militia until it became a laughing stock—an army with broom sticks, to evade serving in which but 50 cents a year was required, and then the present uniformed militla arose from the ruins.” It seems that the high tide of Mus- ter day military duty reached its ze- nith of popularity in the spirit of na- tional defense during the 50 years from 1790 to 1840. In those days the “military duty” consisted of two “‘com- pany trainings” of half a day each in proved to be a failure inas-| in New | ‘, The celebration of the 149th anniver-/ May and October and one ‘“general | training” or “regimental muster” of |one day in October. While no uni- |forms were required at these muster day trainings, except to distinguish the |officers, vet there were usually enough public-spirited people in every town to furnish uniforms to the crack com- pany. According to tradition, the fields of a | | New England muster parade ground, in the long ago, at a respectful dis- |tance from the regimental line, was |covered with auctioneers’ stands, ped dlers’ wagons, refreshment booths of for dancing to the music of the violin —the picture of a college town on com- mencement day, magnified to 10 times the proportion. Speaking of an “Old New Hampshire muster,” H. T. Perry said: “This was Muster day, the annual muster of the regiment of the New Hampshire mili- |tia, a hollday before whose glories even Independence and Thanksgiving paled their lesser lights and “Election day with its varnished buns was wholly out of count. It seems I was old enough to be let go to “muster” and a servant led me over the field. ““The Spring, the Summer and the Autumn “training” all leading up to the crowning day of muster were sim- ply the bright side of life for thou- sands of the hardy yveomanry who peopled the New Hampshire hills ana among whom it was my good fortune to be born.” Thus President Coolidge’'s sugges- tion that in “observing Defense day in celebrating our great national holiday, the Fourth of July, on its 149th anni- versa! with the features of the old- time “Colonial Muster day” recalls the original source of reflected civilian sol- dier military spirit for national defense which prevailed to a more or less ex- tent in every State of our Federal Union from the heroes of the flint-lock New England days of Miles Standish dowh to the humbler men of prowess of the decades just prior to the Civil War. We Celebrate” The most truly national of all our holidays is July 4th, Independ- ence Day. It will be a day of rejoicing for us all, and doubly so if we spare time to remember what that first Independence Day has meant to us and to the world. UNION TRUST CO.
