DINCRETE PAVING 00STS T0 BE CUT Mflltylllllnfiolllofls Inticated g Washingten, Oct. § UP—The pos- sibility of making sharp reductions i the cest of concrete paving is in- dicated in & report by J. I« Harrison, highway engineer of the division of management of the bureau of public rvoads, recently published by the bu- seau. His report is based on a series of tests with about 1,500 concrete cylin ders, beams and cores, collected with the cooperation of state high- way departments on road building projects in Michigan, Missouri, Kan- sas, Tennessee, Texas, South Caro- lins and Oklahoma. The study is the first step in an hope will establish definitely the Practicabllity of making construc- tion savings in concrete road build- After analyzing the work done on time of mixing concrete, and its effect on quality in, the first phase ot the investigation, Harrison con- cludes that *the evidence strongly indicates that where standard 21E and 27E pavers which are in good ocendition are used, neither strength nor uniformity of test results is improved by mixing the concrete more than 45 seconds.” Ofticlal specifications governing the mixing of concrete for high- way pavément vary among the states, ranging from one to one and & halt minutes. With cement “a rel- atively uniform product and water outstandingly so,” the engineer sug- gests that “the commonly accepted reason for varying specified prac- tites from region to region—name- ly, that \lrhllorz in the controlling’ eonditions compel these variations— does not properly apply here.” The required mixing period estab- lishes a limit on the amount of con- crete which can be placed during any given period, he explains, pre- senting figures baged on a compari- £on showing that, with a one and a half minute mixing period, about 910 hineal feet of a typical stand- ard 18-foot pavement can be placed in a 10-hour work(ng day when six- bag batches are used, and about 1,290 feet with a gne- -minute mix- ing period. “If operating costs (labor, equip- ment operation, depreclation, etc.),” he says, “run about $400 per work- ing day—and while these costs dif- fer womewhat from place to place and from job to job, this figure is as fair as any — the labor and equipment costs, overhead, ete., in- cident to laying concrete pavement can not in the first case be cut much under 22 cents a square yard, while in the second case, they can, be forced down to about 13 cents.” He gives no figures on possible additional savings which * might be cxpected if the mixing time were cut to 45 secondh, but observes that a difference of seven cents a yard Spuns into large figures when the amount of pavement laid annually under a long-time mixing require- ment is considered.” The next step in the investigation will be directed toward determining whether the shorter mixing period can be utiliz- ed effectively by contractors to re- duce construction costs. Simple Jade Has i Complicated Origin Paris, Oct. 8 M—Jade, so simple and chaste as an ornament, has & complicated origin. Alfred Lacrolx, French chemist who has made a special study of jade, says he has come to the con- clusion it was created by the desili- .cation of grunite, accompanied by the phenomenon of endomorphism (one mineral inside another). Nephrite, or true jade, explains M. Lacroix, is less valued by the Chinese than jadeite, a more richly eolored jade-like material found principally in northern Burma. Aspor-Las, Inc; w New York, N.

Guards on maghinery, elimination of many belts and shafts by means of individual ' drive metors, better lighting and greater cooperation of workers in safety measures were enumerated by Mr. Perkins as tm. portant factors in the textile mils' recdrd in eliminating accldents, “Accidents from mechanical caus- es,” he said, “have reduced to about a third of the total mifhaps in cot- ton mills, Men are employed aily in repairing guards, putting oa new guards and inspecting machirery to see if there are any places which should be guarded. When new oper- atives are employed they are in- structed fully, in their own language not only as to what they are to do and how to do it, but are shown any dangerous part of the maciiine and warned against doing things which might lead to iInjury.” Many of the accidents in the mills are caused by falls, he sai Al employes are urged to avold wearing high or crooked heels, and whenever floors are being scrubbed a large sign is carried along by the scrub- bers warning that the floor is wet and urging care, and other precau- tions are taken. Mr. Perkins, who is agent of Har- mony Mills, Cohoes, N.

The interestin- and en- thusiastic repert convinced the boys that this experiment in taking American boys to be the guests in hynes in Scandinavia countries was a ‘success; even the language bar- rier 1s not rufficicnt to keep people from forming friendships acroas in. ternational lines, the boys reported. Warren is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund L. Warien of °*1 Curtis street and Slade is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Blade of 19 Ellis street.
