SOMETHING ABOUT THE COST
-DEPENDs ON LOCAL coNpl-
TToNs.

Questions are constantly asked about
the cost of concrete houses. There is
no off-hand answer to such a question.
A proper answer to the question, How
much does a concrete house cost?
would be, says the magazine Concrete,
1T ali depends
1t depends upon the number of con
ditions favorable Il the economical use
of concrete which 1t Is possible to
bring together In one place. It de-
Ponds upon the nearness of proper ag-
gregates-sand and gravel or crushed
stone-to the scene OF operations. 1t
depends upon the familiarity OF the
labor employed with the kind of con-
struction adopted. and it depends upon
the umbe of similar house-building
operations 1t is possible to carry for
ward in one job. The more houses
there can be built at one time in one
locality the greater will be the celer-
fty of the workmen as the job prog
resses-and therefore the greater re-
auction in labor cost. The more hous-
es to be built at ohe time the lower
will be the proportional cost of ma
~terials, and there will also be a de-
crease in the cost of the form work
if forms are used repeatedly on diff
ferent jobs.
Cost Less Than Wood.
There is no good reason why any
body should expect to get a fireproof,
waterproof, vermin-proof, time and
decay-proof house at a lower cost than
a wood house, which is highly COM
bustible, which is not waterproof, nor
vermin-proof, and which decays rap
idly and lasts but a comparatively
short time.
yet good concrete houses have been
built at a lower cost than frame houses
in some favored localities, and there
fore people expect the advantage.
"In Muskogee, Okla, houses have
been built of re-enforced concrete by
a new plan OF form construction. One
of these houses is thirty-seven feet
front to back, not including porches,
and sixteen feet wide, with full base
ment, a living room, dining room and
Kitchen on the first floor, with pantry,
coat closets and other conveniences,
and three bedrooms and bath room
on the second floor. The plain con-
crete shell of n OF these houses,
before any stucco finish has been put
on the walls, or n interior work
done, cost $1,60s. The walls Of this
house are double, with an air space
between the two sections. on n Of
these houses $500 additional was spent
in a floors, extra quality plumb
ing and in bush hammering the outer
surface OF the walls instead of using
stucco.

distinctly states that the veil of the
temple was rent in twain, from top
to bottom, and the Apostles taught
the reason why, henceforth we
have one mediator between God and
man (not a priest or even pope)
even the man (not as God, but as
MANI Christ Jesus. Christ in dual
nature as God and man, could alone
be the only mediator between God
and man, as He alone could APP
proach God as an equal to plead
mans cause. Rome bIasphemes God
by putting up pope, mere man, of
which the most righteous is ''as fill
thy rags and at the same time
nullifies Christs mission to earth.
which was solely to reconcile us to
God, through Christ the High Priest,
eternal in the Heavens. Rome again
claims that Pope represents Christ
on earth, while the scriptures speak
plainly in Christ's own words that
he would not leave his disciples com
FORTRESS when He returned to the
Father in Heaven, but would send
IN his place a Comforter, even the
Holy Spirit, the third person of the
Godhead. God therefore needs no
help from man, either in priest or
pope representative. The Bible tells
us that there shall be nothing hid
den which shall not be revealed.
Rome thrives only in the dark, for
her deeds are evil. Murder is her
greatest weapon, and always used to
rid herself of those she fears.
Though a death-dealer in the dark
and in silence, she may be easily
traced through her long existence by
trail of blood. Nor is her villany
confined as she would have one be-
lieve to the lower, ignorant classes,
for Philip the Crael Of Spain was
model of her training More parti-
cularly should we remember that
Queen Mary, the only Catholic queen
England ever had, has been handed
down in history as "Bloody Mary"
Some day light will pour into her
dark caverns of crime and the silent
mystery of her deeds will be solved,
for the darkness will fee before the
light. No danger of light being
overpowered, for darkness can never
demolish light. 1t only makes light
shine brighter. An Angel revealed
