Uncle Sam, in a booklet, defines him as “a man who saves 60 cents out of every dollar, ‘and expen cents of the balance for living expenses, Pand 1 cent each for education, recreation and alms.” »\ That description might hold true in some cases, But how about the h? Thousands of them would find it mext to impossible, no matter how extravagant, to save Jess than 60 cents on the dollar. How about a spendthrift? Ah, he’s easier to define. le Sam describes him as a party who saves nothing, Spends 58 cents out of each dollar on living expenses, 40 Peents on recreation and 1 cent each for alms and edu- ation. Doctors, specializing in endocrine glandology, will tell ou that a dyed-in-the-wool spendthrift is simply a man With the peculiar condition of the adrenal glands that keeps him absolutely fearless. A hero, for instance, is @ endthrift with his life. Always an interesting subject, this matter uch we should save. Uncle Sam's booklet says that the mmormally thrifty man saves 20 cents out of each dollar, espends 50 cents on living expenses and 10 cents each on ms, recreation and education.

Near Stewart St. Last year the country used over 460,000,000 sacks of portland cement. Capacity to manufacture was nearly 600,000,000 sacks, Cement cannot be made everywhere, because raw materials of the necessary chemical composition are not found in sufficient quantities everywhere. It is now mani however, in 27 states, an there are 117 plants—some one or more within easy shipping distance of nearly every part of the country, Conservative estimates place the capital invested in the cement industry at $300,000,000, and value of output for the last 5 years at $860,000,000. Capital requirements are large —turnover is slow—on an aver- age less than 3 times in 5 years. Establishing the portland ce- ment industry in this country has meant a great deal in costly ex- perience. 159 cement plants have been built, most of them in the last 25 years —166 others went through some stage of construction or fi- nancing. Of these 325, only 117 that period, The capacity of these plants is 30 per cent greater than the year's PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION Seaboard Building SEATTLE of National ie to Improve and Extend the Uses of Concrete wa ; of wi ~~ tig J ~of E
