economic losses caused by hard
water, would, in three years, equip

city.
This is what Prof. C. C. Young of the University of Kansas told the Kansas mayors in session here this morning. Professor Young has made a survey of the state's water supply and has reached these conclusions after a thorough investigation.
"The mineral salts in the Kansas soil which are the cause of its great fertility are unfortunately the cause of great losses in time and money as it is these salts that make the water hard," said Professor Young. "But they can be removed from the water economically by well known methods
"Hard water causes great losses to power plants, from foaming, corrosion, pitting and scaling of boilers. Hard water runs up the laundry bills and at that ruins the clothing of the state much more quickly. Hard water attacks plumbing, ruining in a short time flush tank valves, water taps, and porcelain ware. Hard water deposits scale in hot water systems, filling up the tanks, pipes, and heating coils.
"It is not necessary to go out of Kansas to find a satisfactory cement," said Prof. H. A. Rice, head of the department of civil engineering in his address. Professor Rice discussed the subject, "Concrete Sidewalks."
neither plants have installed softened water, they have paid for themselves in two years. Laundries could do the same. Softening plants will provide water with greater solvent power for dirt, suds, and bleach, and cut down expense in that a less amount of 'water' will be needed, as well as save in soap, acid, bleach, soda and blueing."

The speaker said he hoped to see the time when every Kansas municipality had a softening plant in connection with its water works, as it would eliminate great wastes of time and money.
walks.
"Many of the plants in this state make cement which cannot be surpraged by any other brand on the market," continued the speaker. "We have tested large quantities of this cement at the University and our information is at your service at any time."
Professor Rice explained that not only was it necessary to have a good grade of cement in building sidewalks, but also advised a clean coarse sand and a good quality of stone properly broken up.
"The Kaw river sand is probably the best graded sand in the state," said Professor Rice. "It is very satisfactory for concrete work. Unfortunately good stone for concrete is not well distributed in Kansas. Much of the stone in this state is shale and will not make a good concrete. Before using any stone it should be carefully examined."
Professor Rice discussed the mixing of the cement, stone, and sand, laying stress upon the fact that it is the cement which gives the strength to the earth as a machine to oblige most satisfactory results.

In laying the sidewalk the construction of the foundation is important. "Many failures of otherwise good sidewalks are due to poor foundations or no foundations," said the speaker. "Some authorities recommend putting the walk directly on the ground, but this is a practice which should not be followed in this climate.
"The concrete base should be formed of a mixture, one to two and a half to five, and a thickness of four inches. The mixture should be of a consistency which will permeate the considerable amount of tamping, and of finish layer. Should be made % inches thick of a mixture one to one or one and a half.

"The top coat should be placed immediately after the base is tamped into place, and in no case should the base be allowed to set before the layer is placed. The top should be (continued on page 4).
