S In ancient times, if man wanted to make buildings and bridges, he had to use natural stone and rock. But today man can make his own stone by using cement. He mixes it with sand and gravel to form concrete. Nature gave man a clue as to how to make cement. Many stones found in nature consist of tiny hard particles which are held together by jvariou cementing, or binding, substances. So the prob lem was how to make a binding substance. It was discovered this could be done by burning certain materials into clinkers and then grinding the clinkers into a powder. When this powder, or cement, is mixed with sand and gravel and we wet it, the cement forms a jelly-lik- e substance which rests between all the bigger particles. Gradually it dries and hardens, and binds the particles of sand gravel together. The result is a mass as hard as natural stone. Cement has been used since ancient times, but usually only to hold stones and rock together. The ancient Romans used it to build walls, aqueducts, roads and buildings. Before them, the Greeks used it. and before them the Egyptians, in building the pyramids. Most of the cement we use today TVS TIME The Chuckle Box Wife: Did you turn on the hU light?

It got this name because when it hardens it looks like a certain kind of stone found near Portland, England. The main ingredients of Portland cement are lime, silica, iron, and alumina. These ingredients are taken from limestone, clay, shale, shells, and other natural deposits. The raw materials are ground to a certain fineness; they are then blended to get the right chemical composition; this blend is burned to complete all the reactions of the ingredients; then the resulting clinkers are ground Into a powder. Portland cement is made today in more than 30 states in the U. S. and millions of barrels are produced every year. ing his wife to drive. Suddenly the brakes --failed. 1 cn't tlcp." she said.

He would have opened the king. But. West has surely led a fourth best so that South holds exactly one heart and that one must be either the king or the queen. If it Is the king, South will win the trick. If it is the queen. West will win the trick, but dummy's jack will be established. Once East decides against returning the heart, he has no problem.
