Constructural Work of Every Description.
HOW GREEN ISLAND CEMENT IS MADE
Green Island Cement is manufactured: from hard limestone and clay. It is necessary that these materials should be finely ground in order that they may come into intimate contact with one another in the burning process.
The finely pulverised materials are mixed in a certain definite proportion, roughly one part of clay to three of limestone, and are fed to the Rotary Kilns.
In these kilns they meet the hot gases and flames generated by pulverised coal blown in at the other end of the kilos, and after various chemical actions have taken place, they combine to form Portland Cement Clinker.
The Clinker is ground down with a small percentage of gypsum to 'regulate the setting time, and Green Island Portland Cement is thus produced,
care:
Although sounding so simple, in reality the process is an intricate combination of mechanical, physical and chemical operations, needing great skill and
Nothing but constant and accurate supervision will yield the results so well-known with Green Island Cement, namely, strength, uniformity and reliability.

FIVE-YEAR PLAN CARRIED
OUT IN HALF TIME,
The Soviet oil industry has just celebrated the completion of its Fivo-year Plan at doublequick pace-in two and a half years. When the Five-year Plan of a tional economie development was formally launched on October 1928. the production of 21,700,000 tons of all was projected for 1992-3 By the end of March, 191, the daily output of the Soviet oil wells renched a point corresponding with a yearly próddetion of 23,700 000 tons, so that the Five-year Plan could be considered accomplished. The calendar year 1931 is expected to yield 27,500,000 tons of oil while the Supreme Economic, which"; dirrels the Soviet State industries, has prescribed for 1933 an output of 46,000,000 tons of oil, more than double the original plan for that
your.
The Soviet Union has now re- plarer Venezuela ng the Brond greatest oil-producing country in the world. There is still a long road to be travelled before the Soviet Union ean hope to overtake the United States, which in 1930, a year of depression and contrac | tion of output, turned out 122,000, - 000 tons of oil. However, a deende of stendy, unbroken progress in the Soviet Union might bring the two countrice within, hailing dis
