Overhauling Window Shades.

With thoughts of spring cleaning will
come the attention that must be given
to window shades. These parts of
house furnishing are noticeable part,
for they proclaim their excellence or
lack of it to the outside world as we'll
as to the guests and inmates. They
show very plainly the wear and tear
from frequent and hurried raisings and
Coverings. The ends will get faded
sooner than the upper part from more
continued exposure to the light.
This. fact lends an aid to the thrifty
housewife, who turns them end for end
and finds herself with new set of
curtains thruout. The uppers do not
show in the daytime, and at night the
light is not sufficient to disclose the
difference. Hem the lower part on the
sewing machine and slip in the rod,
then screw in the ring and the curtain
is ready for the fastening on the roll.
This must be done with the same small
tacks that were placed there by the
draper, for the larger ones would be
apt to injure the spring within the
roller. If this spring becomes too loose
and will not run up readily, roll the
curtain up once while holding it in
your hand. Then when you have re-
placed it the spring will be frightened.
If not very loose, do not roll the cur
tain a full length, as it will be too
tight and go up with a sudden slam.

Building an Open Fire.

The ordinary way of building an open
IRE is not the best way; that is, putting
kindling and paper under two logs and
lighting from below, because the paper
and klndling, when lighted, only char
the log, which smolders and goes out.
There are two good ways to make fire.
First, take log and place it at the
back of the fireplace Then take four
or five pieces of kindling wood and lean
them upright against it in tent shape.
Put a little paper under the kindling,
which must be close enough together to
catch, but not close enough to smother.
For the second way, take two logs and
lay them on thick bed of ashes near
together. DON'T put them on the and
irons, for then the cinders will fall
thru and will not heat the logs. On
top lay few pieces of kindling, allow
ing plenty, of air between the pieces.
Then if you have any light twigs, put
them on top of the kindling wood, and
on top Of all put the paper. This fire
burns, almost without any smoke, for
the paper burns down till it lights the
twigs, they light the kindling, and the
kindling the logs. 1t takes, however. a
little while for this fire to get started.
One mistake many people make is put
leaves a lot of black ashes and does no
good. A very easy way to light fires is
to use short ends of candles. This pro-
duces steady flame under the wood till
it lights.

Watching the Details.
Altho the plans by the architects, r.
inal specifications, extreme watchful-
ness is necessary in every detail. The
contractor and architects have inspect
ors who supervise every detail of the
work, while as new feature, the
agents, the David G. Bell Investment
company, and their client, William
Deering, the owner, have clerk of
works who watches every detail. F.
G. Deterly has this position because of
his experience in all lines of building.
His appointment conflicts in no point
with the contractor ard his position is
really an aid to all concerned in the
successful building Of the big struc-
ture. So close attention to detail is
paid by the superintendent that he will
make the ninetyfoot descent into the
sewer tunnel in front Of the Farmers
& Mechanics bank, walk to the en-
trance Of the Security Bank tunnel
and then crawl on all tours quarter
Of block to inspect the sewer con-
nection. The: Bell company will also
have G. L. Pillsbury as electrical, me-
chanical and construction engineer.
The contractor supply shed on the
building site contains carload of
wire for reinforcing the concrete work,
and tons of cement. Every carload Of
the cement is investigated by the city's
Inspector before it's use is authorized.
The managers Of the new building
will not allow the street fronts to be
cut up with basement approaches and
there will be no areas. The basement
will be utilized entirely for building
purposes, a policy which is in vogue
among builders at the present time. It
will serve only as engineroom, storage

THE USE OF CONCRETE
Discussed by the Engineering News
Anent a Minneapolis Building.

The Engineering News contains an
article on the reinforced concrete ware
house for the Northwestern Knitting
company, with drawings and photo
graphs. This structure, which. was the
first of the kind in the northwest,
built by John Wunder, is said to ex-
emplify several Novelties in reinforced
concrete, one of which was the use of
exceptionally rich and wet concrete.
Of this feature the consulting engineer,
G. A. P. Turner, says:
We use more cement than do most 9TH
ers, but by flooding the concrete into
place we can place the mixture at a. lower
cost per cubic yard than can be done with
cheaper mixture which has to be tamped
into place. Moreover by the use of plenty
of water we insure a dense concrete and
one which gives a good surface and per-
feet adhesion to the metal. Again, the ex-
cess Of water causes the surface to harden
very slowly, thus insuring a more perfect
bond between old and new work.

Method Of Coloring,

The method of applying the color to
the surface Of the fabric is simplicity
itself; This is best done by means of
round bristle brush and only the small
est possible amount of dye or paint
nsed. The best effect is secured not
with the ordinary brush stroke, but bv
quick repeated taps which drive the
color into the fabric rather than giving
it simply a surface coating.
