"In view of the fact that he had been
playing for 100 nlghta Mr. Jefferson be
lieved the country was ringing with hi
name, and he resented this apparently
unimportant person' Ignorance of hi
fame. Se he merely replied with a cold
Yes. sir."
"The gentleman got out at ths next
floor and Jefferson then (aid to the ele
vator operator:
1 "Who waa that man?"
" 'Why. saJd the elevator man, "that
was General Grant.' "

'Who waa that old man?
" 'That,' he ald, wu Robert Brown
ing.' "
"John Drew of Bverrwhsre." waa the
way Frank Gaines Introduced the speaker

CEMENT MAKERS TO
GO AFTER FAKERS
Midwest Association Takes Up Prob
lem of Unscrupulous Makers
Who Turn Out Cheap Stuff.
WILL ASK FOR LEGISLATION I
i
That the concrete Industry Is In se
rious danger of bring killed by the
competition of cheap, worthless cu
rrent products, was declared at the
opening session of the eleventh an
nual eonrentlon of the Mid-West Ce-
n.ent I'aers' association. It opened j
yesterday at the Hotel Rome for a
three days convention In connection
with tha Cement show.
Honest makers of cement products, es
pecially cement building blocks, were said
to be "up against" competition by un
scupulous manufacturers, who sre jsell-
Ing cement blocks at cents, whereas
durable properly made block cannot lv I
marketed for less than 1! to IS cents. The
result Is that Ignorant buyers use th-
cheap product, and then blame concrete
when their work goes to pieces in a short
time.
C. A. Stevenson of Kansas City msde i
this ssertlon. and waa heartily seconded I
by Swan Larson of Omaha. Harry t. '
Purcell of Chicago, and other members I
of the" association. j
The outcome was that a committee was
appointed, to sugsest some plan for tin '
adoption hy legislation of standard spo- I I
flcatlons for the making of cement pio.1
ucts, so that only good products tan I o !
, lawfully used and worthless cement prod.
