1t has been said it is very com.
mendable fact that rapid advancement
has been made by all connected with
building operations toward better and
improved construction methods, but
at that there are certain types which
are not given the amount of attention
that they should receive The ele-
ment of the cost of materials is en-
tering more and more into the prob
lem. Lumber is growing scarcer by
the process of natural consumption,
and lately we have witnessed the
enormous destruction of thousands Of
square miles of forests by fire. This
does not tend to lower prices for ma.
terials
Cement stucco as finish for the
exterior seems to be the salvation of
the home builder There have been
some failures with stucco, but not
through the fault of the material, but
because of ignorance in the proper
manner of handling it. So much de
pends upon the selection OF proper
materials, thorough mixing, the proper
amount of water and the proper ap
plication that only skilled mechanics
should be employed There has been
| the whole trouble. A novice cannot
/ do good cement work. The material
! involves chemical action that only the
mechanic with an understanding of il
can handle. This truth should not be

forgotten by anyone who is going to
have a stucco house
A stucco house costs about the same
as frame house now and certainly
is much more imposing and substan-
tial in appearance. Some trouble has
arisen from a lack of uniformity in
the color of Portland cement finishes.
This is due also to ignorance on the
part of the workman. He does not
use the same amount of water in each
batch. The result will be a variation
in the color or a mottled appearance.
Trouble arises also from the use of
dirty sand. Clean sand will make a
uniform color with thorough mixing
and uniformity in the amount of wa
ter in the patches. II there is any
loan in the sand or other foreign
substance there will be trouble. The
use of asbestos fiber and rock to take
the place of sand is meeting with
