The scouts have instructions from their national headquarters to ring every doorbell in the land, deliver a short talk on the necessity of sawing, and take or- ders for government war-saving se- curities—the 25-cent and $5 thrift stamps, President Wilson will write a per- sonal letter of thanks to the scout of #gach state who has the highest record of sales during the vear, and the wlves of the cabinet members have offered to give a victory flag in each state to the troop standing at the top nt the end of the year. Secretary McAdoo, to the scouts, says: Your splendid work in the Liberty Loan campoigns proved that the gov- ernment can count on you and your organization. nlways ready to serve your count and reallzing how widely war-sav Ings stamps may be sold through your efforts, I take pleasure in pre- menting you another opportunity. in his appeal ‘y ¥lve milllon red post cards have | been printed by the government for the spectal use of the scouts. These are orders for the local postmaster to deliver savings stamps. The boy will take the orders for stamps from house to house, drop the signed cards in the mail box, and the post will do the rest. ., James B. West, chief scout ex- ecutive, today sent this me: ge to each of the ,000 scout troops over the country: It is the duty and privilege of eve loyal citizen to help the N i hour of need, and every dollar helps win the war. As the Secretary of the Treasury has so well said: “Our first duty in this critical time Is to economize, to avoid to “yplace all our available the disposal of the government.

The statement shows that concrete, made from ‘Portland” cement, is now being used in tho construction in morc than a dozen lead- | ries of the world and that the United States is the world’s largest producer of the matertals used in this new form of shipbuild- ing. The type of vessels now being | constructed from concrete range | from the barge and floating dock up to the ocean steamer of several thou- | vand tons capacity. Concrete made from Portland other hydraulic cement, reinforced with steel, is the chief material of these vessels. The keel and ribs of the vessel are of steel, and quantities tof wire mesh are also used in re- taining and reinforcing the concrete which fills the spaces between the Isteel ribs. This combination of con- crete and steel has ziven to this type of work, the title of ‘ferro con- crete” and ‘“reinforced concrete,” but in both the chief requirements of the new type of vessel, concrete and steel, the United States far exceeds | other country in its ordinars year production. “Portland which gets its name from its resum- blance in appearance to Portland stone, is produced in far greater quantities in the United States than | any other country of the world and | in fact probably excceds that of all | other countries combined. Our own | was the largest in the history of our production, amounting to 93,650,000 cipal cement producing countries in | the latest available year was, Ger- | many 30,000,000 barrels, England 17,- 000,000 barrels and France 8,000,000 barrels. Our own production has grown with great rapidity from 42,- 000 barrels in 1880 to 835,000 in 1890, 8,482,000 in 1900, 68,206,000 {in 1910 and 93,640.000 in 1917, the ! high record year of production, while the value has grown from $126,000 in 1880 to $101.000,000 in 1917. In | the iron and steel required for use in conjunction with the cement in shipbuilding, we are also by far the world's Jargest producer, our total | output of pig iron, the basis of all iron and steel products, being more | than the combined production of any other three countries in the world.
