stance is the tile garage built recently
by Mr.. Dave Hennen Morris, former
President OF the Automobile Associa-
ton OF America Other owners OF
private and public garages have fol-
lowed his example.
Perhaps the most significant single
effort toward the substitution OF
other materials for wood is the pro-
posal TO extend the fire limits OF New
York to include the whole greater
City. If the Aldermen pass such an
ordinance, it will mean that no more
frame houses of any kind may be
built in the metropolis. Ten years
ago this plan would have had no
chance Of success; now it has a good
chance, simply because the high
price Of lumber has made the cost OF
a freproof house relatively small, and
has heretofore removed or weakened
the desire Of builders to use wood.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-06-28

blocks are set end on end, so that
+, the hollow spaces form continuous
perpendicular pipes These hollow
spaces make the walls non-conduc-
tors of heat, and thus tend to keep
the house warm in winter and cool in
summer In the floors the blocks are
! laid between beams Of steel or rein
forced concrete. With both walls and
floors made OF terra Gotta, each room
| is enclosed with ireproof material,
and FIRE could not easily spread from
one room to another.
The second man who submitted to
| the New York Building Department
plans for terra Gotta house was
Amos L. Schaeffer, engineer OF the
Public Service Commission. Instead
Of letting the job to contractor Mr..
Schaeffer employed laborers and him
self oversaw the construction OF the
walls and floor By this he saved
money, the frame costing him only
$500. Once the frame of hollow block
lis built, the cost of house depends
mostly upon the "frills'-the interior
finish, trimmings, decoration, etc
The exterior surface Of house Of
this type is covered with a stucco
of whatever color the owner chooses.
When the work is all done there is
no way of telling what is under the
stucco, whether wood or brick or tile.
The original cost OF terra Gotta
house is perhaps 10 per cent. greater
than that of frame building of
similar size. The ultimate saving is
effected through smaller maintenance
charges and insurance premiums.
| Some architects have made spec
lialty of 6reproof dwelling houses,
planning homes that cost anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000. Only last year
two handsome terra Gotta residences
we're built at knglewood and Mount
! Kisco, suburbs of New York, at a
cost of about $4,000 each. At almost
the same time terra Gotta cottage.
with nine rooms, was put up at
Briarcliff, another suburb, for $6,5O0.
Since the introduction of automo-
biles the safe storage of large quanti-
ties Of gasolene has become a prob
lem for the builder. Wood is Of no
value here. In the big cities the law
requires the building where gasolene
/ is kept to have none but hreproof
materials in them. Accordingly,
many Of them are being made Of
clay products throughout. An in

due chiefly to the report of the Off
cial Forester, Clifford Pinchot, to the
President. To the condition which
made the Conference necessary may
be traced, also, the invocation OF novel
building materials. One example OF
this is Thomas A. Edison's unique
idea of making huge moulds and
pouring concrete into them-"houses
made while you watt" but nobody
has yet been bold enough to put this
idea into practice. Then there are
other forms of concrete and cement
which have been proposed, all more
or less in the experimental stage at
present.
Thus there is a constant attempt to
employ for building the only sub
stance of which the supply is unlimit-
ed, the soil Of the earth itself. Espec-
tally is this so in and near the big
cities, where the scarcity Of timber
and the consequent high prices are
felt most seriously. For here the
difference in price between frame
house and house of more solid
material is so small as to be unin1-
portant
Illustrative Of the general tendency
to find substitute for wood is the
suggestion of Mr.. Herbert M. Wilson
of the United States Geological Sur
vey, that scientific Investigations into
the properties of clay be undertaken.
The American Ceramic Society made
start in this direction, by appoint
ing a special committee to report
upon plan "for systematizing the
study Of clay products"
Individual builders, meanwhile,
have gone ahead and demonstrated
the practicability Of their ideas. Last
year the Building Department of
New York City, for the first time in
| its history, received plans for a terra
Gotta house. The plans were passed
upon favorably; and the house, which
belongs to professor in New York
University, has just been completed.
In the suburbs around New York
there have been put up, recently,
terra Gotta dwellings. The principal
element in them is the hollow tile
b1ock-the same kind of block that
is used for freproofing the Sky
scrapers" on Manhattan Island. 1t is
manufactured from New Jersey clay,
and in the process Of manufacture is
subjected to a heat Of 2,20O degrees.

THE TIMBER SUPPLY
And What Will Happen When It
Gives Out
FIND WOOD SUBSTITUTES
Builders Are Already Experimenting
to Find Something to Take the
Place Of Wood, Especially Around
the Large Cities.

What are houses going to be made
Of when there is no more timber!
That is question which, in these
days of disappearing forests, cannot
be dismissed as academic" There is
no better proof of the reality OF the
destruction of the forests" Of which
so much has been heard recently,
than the outlay necessary for even a
simple frame dwelling. In the short
period of ten years the cost OF a home
has increased from 80 to 90 per cent,
according to whether it is near
source of lumber supply or in thick
" settled section far away from the
woods.
Government experts have covered
the country with their Investigations,
and they report that the time is not
far off when the country's timber will
be gone. This means that other
things must be found to take the
place of wood. The United States
Government has established labora-
tories at various centres for the
purpose of testing all sorts Of
structural materials The results Of
these tests are published from time
to time, and in this way engineers,
architects and contractors are inform
ed as to the capabilities of the mater
ials.
Only within the last year or two
has general interest in the diminish
ing timber supply been aroused. The
recent Conference Of Governors,
called BY President Roosevelt, was

And modest muses. WOO,

The liver good and true.
Pray tell me what are hearts to men
What's anything, alack!
TO us poor bilious creatures when
The liver's out Of whack2
While sentiment, grant il is
Quite proper in its place,
Yet when we get right down to biz,
The liver sets the pace.
So let's not to the dreamy bards'
Soft caroling succumb,
For he who clearest truth regards
Will keep his liver plumb;
He knows full well heart may bless
A moral, in a way,
But oh! it's quite IN. g." unless
His liver's all 90 K"
And here and now | make my plant
To all the cooks: Beware
On what you feed us, for a saint
On bile-distressing fare
Must soon become demon! Yes,
You guide US, day by day,
For piousness and biliousness
Go different paths, they say.
