Marl Found in Kansas Makes Superior Cement Imported Product Inferior; Says U. S. Bureau of Standards
Superior qualities of cement, or hydrostatic lime, that can be produced from the white dithiammonic marl of western Kenya, are important for part of the United States Bureau of Standards, in a report published in 1932. The marl is an intimate mixture of pulverized carbonate and fine silica tests of diston, or mineral
The chief superiority of cement made from this western Kansas marl lies in the entire absence of iron, or other soluble salt, from the marl. This would make the marl more acidic and discorable itself, nor cause masonry laid with this cement to become discolored.
Compared with similar European cements, now imported, the Kansas product is stronger and is slower setting. The difference in special cases, is a decided advantage.
The rock from which this hydraulic line can be made was discovered a year ago by Prof. Maxim K. Elias, geologist at the University of Montreal while working in Wallace县 county under the direction of Dr. R. C. Moore, state geologist. The principal cut-croppings on are the south side of the North Fork and west side of the river in Wallace and Logan counties.
Professor Elas estimates that at least a million tons of the mail are easily available for strip mining.
The Bureau of Standards found that best results were obtained when the material was calculated for an hour at 50°C. The same weight of greentec centigrade. Briquets made from the ground hydrate, mixed with three parts of standard Ontario sand, showed a tensile strength of 28 days, and 300 pounds to the square inch after 90 days.
European hydraulic lines of comparable character show, according to C. Schoeh, of Berlin, a strength of 100 m³ for 28 days, and 290 pounds in one year.
World Was Born 570,000,000 Year Ago, Missouri Scientist Says
Determines Age of Earth
Columbia, Ma., Feb. 8. (UP) - Research at the University of Missouri department of chemistry has established a national laboratory for 570,000 years old, it was announced recently by Dr. Herman Schmidt, chairman of the National Research council's committee on "Determination of Geological Time by Atomic Distance."
for four months Dr. O. B. Muisch, member of the faculty of New Mexico Normal University who has been or leave of absence, and Dr. Schultz have conducted experiments on a mini-robot system, and beer obtained from Hybla, Ontario.
This mineral, it was discovered, was high in its content of the lead product and the iron, a proportion of uranium could be determined scientifically the age of cryolite. No definite date is assigned the mineral, but the earth must of necessity be older than the earth must of necessity be older than the age of this particular mineral, or older than 570-8.
A report of the research project at the University is being prepared by Muirhead Research. This report will appear shortly in a scientific journal. In the meantime the work here will be continued and new developments have been developed in the last few months.

OLD RUSSIAN CUSTOM FALLS UNDER ECONOMIC PRESSURI
Moscow, Feb. 8—(U)P —An Old Russian custom, famed in song and verse, has about died out—sunflower seashells on the ground, jaws champ rhythmically as they sit behind their ploiding horses; no longer hawks their paper logs of the seeds.
The causes are twofold: Economic and political. First, there has been a shortage of fats that all available 'sunflower seeds have been made into oil. Second, a strenuous campaign by the Republican to be difficult and unclean, because its ads sat about and littered the ground with shells instead of "building Socialism."
