Contrary TO the usual opinion ordinary
cement work is not waterproof The de-
gree of capiilarity or absorption, depends
somewhat upon the quantity of cement
used, the character of the other ingred-
tents and the wetness of the mix" Num-
erous kinds of wate1proofing preparations
for external application upon the sur
faces of completed masonry and concrete
have been in use for several years. A
great step in advance has been made
within the last few months by mixing
the interpreting material with the ce-
men, itself in the grinding process. In
this manner a certain quantity IL uni
formly mixed with each bag OF cement.
For "stueco" or cement exteriors this Is
particularly important. because the mois-
ture, which ordinarily soaks through the
surface material and rusts the metal lath,
cannot sORE in at all. Concrete floors,
