T
Washington D. C, Aug. 10. The bu
reau ot standards, of the department of
commerce and labor. In connection with
the Investigation of structural materials,
is conducting a series of tests to deter
mine the action of high-pressure steam
on Portland cement. It has been found
that high-pressure steam will greatly
accelerate the hardening of certain ce
ments, increasing their strength several
bundred-per -cent,., but- will causa the
complete disintegration of other ce
ments which under normal conditions
appear to have the usual physical qual
ities. The present investigation Is in
part an extension of the work reported
In technologic paper No. 5, "The Effect
of High Pressure Steam on the Crush
ing Strength of Portland Cement Mortar
and Concrete." The equivalent for this
purpose consists of a small steam-pressure
tank, or so-called "autoclave? suit
able for pressures up to 60 atmospheres
(SIS pounds per square inch) and a large
cylindrical steel tank 12 inches by t
feet inside dimensions suitable for work
ing pressures up to 70 atmospheres
(1030 pounds per square inch).
Kany Cements rail in Test.
It has been proposed that specifica
tions for the purchase of Portland ce
ment be amended to Include a test of
exposing cement to a steam pressure of
20- atmospheres 4 29 4 pounds .jex square
Inch) for a period of two hours. It Is
required that the cement remain sound
and that the tension briquettes show a
given Increase In' strength.
It has been found tbatertaln cements
which meet the steam test of 212 de
grees Fahrenheit for five hours, as re
quired by present specifications, fall un
der the proposed high-pressure steam
test. In Investigating the cause and In
terpretation of this failure, practically
all brands of cement purchased by the
government are being subjected to the
high-pressure steam test In connection
withthe regular- routine .apeclflcaUon
test, and much valuable information Is
being accumulated.
Tests are also being made on specially
prepared cements of various degrees of
linaneas and. altar .seasoning -Xfrt-dlf le-J
ent periods. Other series of tests are
being made In exposing cements neat,
and in mortars and concretes to a series
of pressures ranging up to 1000 pounds
per square Inch and for various dura
tlons. Tensile and compressive streneth.

Saving and Investing for the Thrifty

? First of all, Mrs. Jones keeps strict

time when It wss "too much bother" to
remember how she spent the money she

that .'I seems I tan never make ends

With Jones, who pointed out that with
out some sort .of system she could never
hop to balance .her accounts. Also,
, Jones pointed out that no business
et-uld'long remain solvent without sho
Jne a surplus.
Running a, home, Mrs. Jone decided,
ts a business. Essentials must be pro
Tided for first, then non-ersentlals. Or
luxuries. So shei began to keep two

family lived well and "kept up Its post
tlon," Mrs. Jones found that she had
to her credit over $G00. She could cer
tainly do as well next year, so she
turned over the $500 to Jones to In
vest. Jones bought a fnrm mortgage
paying 6 per cent and gave It to hie
wife. Next year, with the $600 which
Mrs. Jones saved, and $400 borrowed
from the bank at S per cent, he bought
a $10iFO mortgage.. .Th third year
trie debt at the bank wss discharged
and two $100 bonds added.
Next year will be the. fourth of Mrs
Jones' experiment. There will be an
extra hundred dollars, due as interest
on her investments, to add to the fund
or to extend the list of luxuries. It
won't matter very much then where it
goes. What is Important Is that Mrs
Jones, as head of the housekeeping
business, has become solvent. The dis
covery that she Is solvent has cheered
her, as It does any one who ts Inter

from the standpoint of residential de

Thfc Waverly Golf club is about la be
gin construction of a $100,000 clubhouse
and not having further uo for this 40
acre part of the old links, after opening
the new piece to the south, it was ue
elded to sell this tract for home alts
and use the money to build the new club.
A syndicate of club membra purchased
I the land, consisting of HV I Corbett,

The Idea of retaining ownership in
the club membership was to control
as lorig as possible, the character of Im
provements and buildings to be erected
on property that will always adjoin the
club grounds. F. N Clark will be the
selling agent and announces that the
Improvements will all be completed by
September b, after which time the sites
wll be1 open for fcal.
There are enly 68 home sites In the 40
acres. Each one Is about 100x200, aver
aging four city lots in six. A build
ing restriction of $5000 insures a de
sirable class of homes. The really dif

Nearly 300 trains a day, either by the
Hull wood, Oregon City or Kstacada

High Cost ol Living al
When winter comes, Parkrose housekeepers won'j; hive to
worry over what to have for dinner. And they .won't have to
resort to high priced canned goods either, Right now their gar
dens are overflowing with good things tp eat beans, peas,
greens, beets, onions all kinds of vegetables. Fruit is plenti
ful and preserves, jellies and-ja'msare being made daily. When
winter comes, the family will enjoy an abundance of fresh
fruit and vegetables, so much better than canned or storcgoods.
"And don't forget that instead of paying 20 and 25 cents for a
tin can of store goods, they are enjoying more iiealtMul homer
produtts costing just a mere fraction. It cuts the cost of liv
ing squarely in two. It's one, just one of the advantages of
living in Parkrose on a broad acre all your own.
There's room for you at Parkrose and a chance for you to
get ahead. Investigate today. Come and see rts at once. Of
course, the terms are made to suit ydu.
