To Make a Concrete Wall.

A concrete wall should not be less
than one foot thick. Such wall will
not prevent frost entering unless 1t Is
furred and sealed on the inside. Ii
may be made double, leaving a dead
air space in the center, which will pre-
vent the frost from entering the base,
ment. The wall can be built by using
planks twelve inches wide, set up in
the shape of a trough and filed solid
with concrete. If a double wall is de,
sired, it would be better to use hollow
concrete blocks which are manufac.
tured for this purpose. A brick wall
should be laid ON either the outside OF
inside of the concrete blocks, which
are manufactured endwise against the
concrete to make a dead-air space. To
build a double wall of concrete would
be expensive
