TALKING CONCRETE
Increased Use Of Material Provokes
Considerable Comment.

Local interest in concrete construc-
ton has become so strong that disap-
pointment is generally expressed when
original costs sake, or for other rea
sons, to put up buildings of the old
kind, Of intlammable construction.
Since the Northwestern Knitting
warehouse was built of pure concrete,
without steel beams and pillars, inter-
est in the new form of using the mate
rial has been intensified until now
nearly every new structure has some
form of concrete in it's makeup. The
fad, or whatever it may be called, has
spread to such an extent that several
concrete building block factories have
started up and dwellings and fiat build
lngs may be found in various residence
districts with exteriors of concrete
blocks fashioned like building stone.
Concrete construction is not new here,
as the Chamber Of Commerce and other
Well-known buildings which date back
several years, have been built in part
of the cement, sand and crushed rock
mixture. The G. M. Pond building on
First avenue s Is the second of the re-
inforeed concrete buildings to 90 up,
without the use Of steel girders. The
third, the Andrus garage, on Fourth
street s, for, the Moulton-J oraan com.
pany, has the longest stretch of I'm.
supported concrete beam.

and Plaza buildings are good examples

Of the partial concrete construction, the
Auditorium being a specially good ex-
ample, with. it's concrete gallery floors.
The Plaza is the second one to have
a concrete exterior finish. I
The Improvement Bulletin has edi-
torially called attention to the notable
phase Of building, which has carried off
honors until now concrete is being used
in some twelve or fifteen Important
buildings. This is in addition to the
extensive shop plant of the Twin City
Rapid Transit company at Smelling and
University avenues, of reinforced con-
crete.
In part, the Bulletin says:
The extent to which the concrete is
used In different buildings varies greatly
In the Harrison apartments, exterior and
interior walls and floors will be con.
structed of hollow concrete tiles, the tiles
for the floor being set in a framework OF
iron and the joints afterward filled with
Portland cement. On the outside or the
exterior walls will be a finish of Brick
which is the more common exterior finish
| to be given buildings of concrete con
| struction In Minneapolis.
| The Minneapolis Paper company's
| building was built with a skeleton con
| crete construction, with concrete f1oorins
| and partitions. Columns and girders will
| be of the new material. In the Securit,

cred a very fair showing, inas m as as

much as the table prepared by the
American Contractor of Chicago is dry
figures of results, nothing Of interest in
the stories Of future building published
in August is conveyed in them, altho
August produced many promises for
this season and the next.
The building operations in the Varl-
Gus cities of the country, as SHOWN ny
reports to the American Contractor,
covering the building permits issued
during August, as comp ared with the
CORRESPONDING month of last year, far
" surpass the expectations raised by
The remarkable record of July. In the
AGGREGATE, the building operations OF
this country are now more extensive
than at any previous time in its his
tory. Almost universally there has
been gain over last year, and IN many
instances CnlS Is SllHply doIohl9i.1n 81
The permits issued in greater New
York amounted to $25, 296,674, being
almost exactly double those OF August,
1904. In Manhattan the gain was
ls4 per cent; in Brooklyn, 26 per cent
and in the Bronx 25S per cent. Opera
tions in Chicago are second only to
those of the metropolis, amounting to
$6,4o1, l50-a gain. Of 80 pei. cent. Phil
adelphia follows Chicago with permits
amounting to $2,s76,2oO. st. Louis re-
ports 81 ,S55, 9S0-a gain of rs per cent.
This is especially gratifying, showing,
as it does, that the large building oper-
atoms there during the past two years
were not carried on at the expense of
the future, as was freely predicted.
That the building prosperity is as wide
as the country Is shown from the fol-
] lowing list Of permits, with the percent

to use concrete footings twelve feet
square and three or four feet deep.
The strength Is such that 102-foot
span of concrete girders in a Los Angeles
warehouse has been tested to support
several hundred pounds weight to each
foot of floor space, while the floor in the
Northwestern knitting mills will support
100 tons to each sixteen-foot panel.
Concrete seems to have appeared In
time to fulfill the predictions of the opti-
mist who insists that nature always fills
the gap when a new need appears or an
old product is exhausted. The new build
ing material bids fair to take the place OF
lumber, as the present cost of construc-
ton but little exceeds that of wood, and
the earth conceals inexhaustible quanti-
ties Of the raw material.

free from insects than the peony.
The plants are easily increased by
division of the feshy roots. This is
best done in August or early septem-
Der, while the plant is dormant. The
whole clump is taken up and with a
sharp knife or spade cut into pieces
from the top, taking care not to in
jure the buds. Every piece Of root

In planting, the bed should be made

distance from the top of the opening.
From this artificial limitation of the
aperture, short side tapestries are hung
and hooked at the chair-rail: If the
aperture still appears too high, tassels
may depend from the lambrequin and
even further break into the height.

With all it's defects, however, the cur
tain rod is undeniably convenient. It
has held sway for many, years, and will
probably never be entirely discarded,
altho new methods of portiere hanging
are coming into use with the spirit OF
the new decorative movement of the
past decade.
The mission and arts and craft styles
of furnishing are doing much to eman-
cipate us from the slavery of the rod,
for other ways Of hanging portieres
have been devised and applied in these
new decorative schools.
The portieres need not be movable.
