TESTING OF CLAY PRODUCTS.
Importance of Work Emphasized by
u. S. Ceramic Chemist.

The Importance of clay products as a
structural material was emphasized in a
recent address by a. v. Bleininger, United
States ceramic chemist, says the current
issue of the National Contractor and
Builder The government spends about
$40 100000 annually in construction work,
and Congress has authorized the prosecu-
ton of testing work upon all building
products made from clay used by the
federal government.
1t is intended that tests should be made
of common and pressed brick. paving

force Of repair managers, repair men,

tives forms a small army in itself. Not
only are surveys, runabouts and other
livery vehicles called into requisition, but
also the modern automobiles, motorcycles
and bicycles. which are carried in Suff-
cient number and variety to stock a
garage.
Methods of Exploiting Properties.
Most startling in its variance with past
customs and traditions is the manner of
exploiting properties, which has grown to
gigantic proportions during the past few
years. 1t now engages the services of
hundreds of advertisement writer's. pho
tographers, photographers. blue print
makers. sketch artists, compositors and
pressmen, and involves the expenditure of
millions of dollars annually. Individual
offices disburse from $4,000 to $JocOo
each year in communicating through the
channel of the daily paper to the public
the special advantages of the properties
offered by them for sale. Formerly this
publicity work was limited to small classi-
fled advertisements, but now the display
columns TEEN with artistic representations
of text and cut almost rivaling the whole
pages of the department stores In their
extensivenesS and elaborateness. In ad-
dition to this, theater programs. souvenirs,
excursion bills and other means of CON-
munlcat1ng with the puphc are reSoTted
TO by the wide-awake. up-to-date real
estate operator. not to mention hundreds
Of board signs o. all sizes, which are dis
tributed throughout the city and suburbs
The changes in the conduct of a real
estate Office have indeed been made with
such lishtninglike rapidity that the
public. which is at all times prone to ac-
commodate itself quickly to changed con-
ditions, has scarcely realized what enor-
nous notifications and amplifcations
have been incorporated into the daily
routine of the business.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
HAVE NOVEL REALTY PLAN
Will Found bungalow Town" in Which No
Home, With Its Acre of Ground, May
Cost More Than 1000.

house To stand upon less than one-haif
acre of ground
The purpose of the building restric-
tions" will be manifold. In the first place
1T Is intended to attract few more vol
unteers to the movement, and if the NOV
ing spirits in the enterprise can show
each newcomer that the buying Of site
and the building of home will be well
within his means. it is believed this end
Will be accomplished. Furthermore the
limit of cost will imply that all of the
dwellings will be uniform in size and
equipment and petty jealousies will not
mar the happiness of any of the citizens
of Bungalow Town.
Shower Baths Will Predominant.
-Four or five rooms 10 each house would
be about the limit of size, and the very
fact that quarters will thus be limited
makes it unlikely that the servant prob
lem will ever seriously disturb the in
habltants. because no householder will
nave sufncient room to spare TO give
servant sleeping quarters, and the COM
parative isolation of the town will tend
materially TO discourage the migratory
class of serving people Because of the
prohibitive cost of plumbing 1t is con-
sidered probable that Bungalow Towr
will have few if any bath tubs, and the
projectors contemplate attaining that
liberal installation of shower baths
There will be no attempt to install n
town water plant. and each house will
have its own well, feeding by pump
power to d tank on the roof which i'm
turn Will supply running water for the
home
bungalow Town will make its nearest
imitation to a sociological colony in ats
purchases of supplies of all sorts from
the outside world. In the first place there
VIII be cooperation in buying the land
and then there will be a determined effort
to save expense in building by the let
ting of contracts to build the little homes
In blocks of two more to each con-
tract When Bungalow Town is settled il
Is proposed that the women folk shall
join in the formation of a central pur-
chasing committee that all forms of
food stuffs and supplies may be secured
at wholesale rates.
Of course the very fact that each
house will have its acre or half acre of
ground implies that gardens will flourish
to a considerable extent and granting
that experience will transform the office
workers into expert tillers of the soil il
Is expected that vegetables fresh from
the ground will add to the attractions oc
the settlement.

A Famous Tree Has Fallen.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Vancouver's historic old Balm OF Gilead
tree. to which Lewis and Clark are said
to have tied their canoe i'm 1906, and
which marked the landing point OF the
Hudson Bay Company of fur traders in
1924. fell victim to the waters of the
Columbia river
This old tree, which stood on the bank
of the river al the foot of Main street.
was the starting point for all early sur
veys in Clark county and the western
portion of Washington state. Ii marked
the point where the city limits Joined the
military reservations. The tree was held
in generation by Vancouver people and
people all over the Pacific northwest who
took an interest in matters of historic in
terest
The tree was about five feet in diam
eter at its base and was seveuty-five feel
high. being fully fifty feet across az it's
crown. A copper railroad spike is said
to have been driven into the tree, and Il
was from this point all surveys began
This spike is now grown over, but il Is
likely that 1t Will be chopped out and
kept in the archives of the city.

new BUILDING PROJECTED
PLAN FOR BUSINESS HOUSE IN
NEW YORK AVENUE.
Work on Structure Will Be Started
Next Week and Rushed to
Rapid Completion.

The growing Importance of the vi
cinity of 14th street and New York
avenue. indicated by the tendency of
business houses to gravftate in that di-
rection, is being emphasized with al
most every passing month. The Bond
building. pioneer of its kind in this
section. now has a number of neighbors
of similar character and within the past
few days announcement was made of
the proposed addition of another large
business structure to this center.
Capt. G. c. Calhoun, an attorney with
offices in the Evans building, will build
the new structure, and he has esti-
mated that it will cost approximately
10000 IT will be located at 1872 New
York avenue, on property recently pur-
chased from the Thompson estate 1t
will occupy all of that lot, having a
frontage of twenty-five feet on New
York avenue and depth of zoo feet
to an alley. Plans and specifications
for the building, which will be five
stories in height, We're issued today, and
the contract for construction work will
be let next week. Early in August a
large force of laborers will be assigned
to the task of demolishing the old resi-
dence which now occupies the ground
and to making the excavations for the
foundation of the new building. 1t is
expected the structure will be ready for
occupancy late in the autumn
According to the plans. the new
structure will be of steel and terra Gotta
construction throughout and thoroughly
fireproof. with facing of ornamental
cream-colored terra Gotta on its New
York avenue frontage 1t will be of the
renaissance tyne of architecture E-tif
large bay windows running to the full
height of five stories. Each floor of
the building will contain but one large
room, the property being designed to
accommodate one Or more large bust
ness houses.
