plaster is applied both to keep them from
absorbing the water from the plaster
and prevent II from properly setting and
to keep the expansion Of the lath from
distorting the surface Of the wall. after
the material has been applied.
Cement porch floors should never be
put on filled ground. In a few rare in
stances II Is done without settlement
when very extreme precautions of sosb
Ing and tamping have been observed. In
fully nine cases out Of ten the filling will
settle some in. the course of year and
crack the floor.
When tile floor Is used for the surface
on cement grout over filled ground, the
settlement Is taken UP in the joints and
is not so noticeable. The proper way In
any case, however. is to put on REIN
forced concrete floor and then give 1t a
surface coat Of either tile or cement.
What has been said with reference 10
cement floors applies the same to cement
steps and walks. Cement Is one Of the
most useful building materials that we
have, but It takes man who works with
his head as well as his hands to get the
best results.

stantiai material. provided
that certain precautions are observed.
Cement has been used in basement floor
construction for many years. and the
common experience OF most home build
ers has been that after six months or
years use the surface Of the floor shows
pitted. pock-marked appearance and
continually gives off a fine dust. The
principal reason for this is that an in
sufficient amount Of cement was used
for the surface coat.
The average unmatched mason will
make the surface OF cement floor in
the proportion OF one part cement to two
10 three parts sand. II should never be
made in the proportion OF less than
cement and sand equal parts. The sand
should be perfectly clean and sharp.
Cement and sand should be thoroughly
mixed dry and then thoroughly mixed
with water. until IL becomes a very soft
paste. Lack of proper mixing is often
the cause Of cement surface troubles. 1t
stands to reason that II water. eemen;
and sand are not evenly mixed there will
be small places where a perfect chemi-
cal action between cement and water has
not taken place to the fullest extent. and
these little places, almost microscopic,
being weak. will come of either in the
form Of dust or flakes. and eventually
leave the floor In a pitted condition. The
PITS leave sharp edges. which footwear
continually breaks off in fine particles
and In this manner the wearing down Of
the floor sets its start. and continues ins |
definitely.
The thickness Of the surface coat should
never be less than one-half inch thick
and should preferably be one inch thick. |
When cement surface is being applied
to other masonry that has set, and is
hard. the masonry to which Il Is being |
applied should be thoroughly wet. prefer
ably from hose. so that the wall or
grout soaks up all the water that II can.
The reason for this is simple Water is
one Of the chemicals needed In the pro-
cess OF hardening tho cement. and when
fresh cement is applied to other dry ma
sonry. the chemical action Of hardening
has not taken place. After the dry
masonry absorbs the water from the

GLENWooD LOSES HARD
FOUGHT CONTEST TO ASPEN

The Glenwood boys left Saturday
morning to wrcstle the championship
from the Aspenites. The game was
attended by a large crowd. Several
girls went along with the team to see
the game.
The local boys were handicapped
in number OF ways, The boys were
not used to SO large a court and such
a slick floor. The baskets were placed
against a hard wood back, while here
the boys were used to wire backs. An
other great interference was several
large beams running across the build
ing about 10 feet from the floor there
fore hindering the boys from making
Iong passes.
When the boys arrived there were
only the manager and one or two stu
dents to meet them. The team was
placed in an unfit rooming house over
a saloon and then sent to hobo res
taurant for meals, where we left with
out eating a bite. The boys then went
to the jerome hotel where only part of
the bill was paid by the Aspen team.
1t was strange that the manager and
principal kept out of sight all the
time we were there.
The game was the fastest ever
played on the Aspen floor, During the
first ten minutes neither side scored,
DeMerschman played in usual form,
holding Peterson the great to only six
points Maupin and w. Noonau played
a steady game at forwards, but the
width of the hall handicapped them.
Dorc, J. Noonan and Smith played a
fast game under the circumstances. j.
Noonan was relieved by Smith during
the second half. The final score was

FOREST RANGERS IN GLENWooD

The rangers of the White River, So
pris and Holy Cross National Forests
are holding meeting at the county
court house this week. There are
eight rangers from each forest preseut
besides First Assistants Baxter and
Morrison, Deputy Supervisor Miller,
Supervisors Blair, McLaren and French
and Assistant District Forester Nor
rcll of tile district office, Denver.
The idea of the meeting is to discuss
the different methods of conducting
the various phases of forestry work
Many questions arise which are diff
cult of solution and it is intended by
meeting that favorable methods of
solving them may be arrived at
On Monday the subject of fires was
thoroughly threshed out. In the dis
cussion it was brought to light that the
forest service had accomplished much
on these three forests in the way of
reducing the yearly damage by fires.
Each season sees greater Improvement
in the way of protection.
On Tuesday methods of conducting
timber sales was discussed. This is an
important class of business which de-
mands great deal of attention on the
part of the rangers. The purpose of
the forests is use and this is demon
strated in the sale of timber.
The subject of settling on. home
steads was the topic of discussion
Wednesday. 1t was the sense of the
meeting to assist the prospective
homesteader in securing a claim. On
Thursday the topic of grazing demanded
attention. The management of this
class of business appears to grow
easier each year because of the
change of public sentiment towards
the forest service.
