Vanderl lit and his first wife have
met only twice since their separation,
and so far as it is known, the first
and second wives Of the youthful
multi-millionaire have never met
face to face.
Each of the three women whose
persons are prominent in the affair
have figured in divorces. Mrs. Nc
Wicker before her marriage to James
McVicker of New York, was the wife
of Jack HOrner, at one time of At

The present Mrs. Vanderbilt, before

Mortgages Reported.

Indications are not lacking that the
next few years will mark a decided
change in the methods Of loaning money
on real estate as practiced by the mort

city.
The ng-establiShed practice among
borrowers OF securing loans upon real
estate up TO the limit OF safety for the
lender, or. II possible. beyond the limit
with no provision for taking up any part
OF the loan before expiration. has been
generally accepted as a necessary evil OF
the mortgage business.
Under such conditions Il ia a common
occurrence for properties which have suf-
fered through the competition OF newer
and better buildings or depression of
neighborhood values TO barely show value
enough to cover the mortgages at the
time Of expiration. The mortgage either
has the property on his hands. or, IL able

CAUSES FOR CRACKING
OF PAINTED SURFACES
Kindred Lumber and Green Plas-
tered Walls Given
as Reasons.

A painter who asked as to the general
causes for the cracking OF painted
surfaces and whether it is possible to
detect the causes. by the effect. Is fur
nished the following informa ton by the
Painters Magazine:
The causes for the cracking Of paint
are manifold. Formerly the most COM
mon cause was the use of boiled oil In
printing that was in vogue some years
ago. Printing with cheap ocher or cheap
white lead, so-called, that had not a
trace of white lead in it. was another
cause. Cnseasoned or poorly dried lum-
Der used in buildings is another reason
for the cracking of paint. This refers to
outside painting mostly.
On interior work the cracking of paint
is due mostly to the kiln-drfed or green
size or imperfectly dried undercoats, al
ways providing that the finishing paint
is properly made and well balanced for
the purpose.
When paint cracks with appearance of
an alligator skin it may be assumed that
undercoat not hard enough, or II In a
wall the sizing was imperfect, even II
apparently hard to the touch. or that the
wall was too hot for sizing and painting.
This effect will show In deep ridges or
rather burrows. -.
When a plastered wall such as, fora in
stance that in kitchen or In a laun-
dry. is reprinted without being Hrst
washed down with soap and water and
thoroughly rinsed. and shows after
it is not necessarily the fault OF the
paint. but the grease on the wall. that
does not permit the new coating to OBJ
tain proper hold on all of the surface.

NOVEL USE OF SAWDUST
Mixed With Gypsum Stucco
in Making ''Pu'p
Lumber"

The following is formula for making
what might be termed pulp lumber" or
pulp tile. but by whatever name called,
it is very easily made. is very mex
pensive and very far-reaching in its
utility, as it could be successfully made
and used in most every home whether of
kieth's Magazine.
Seven pounds of dry sawdust to 100
pounds of unsanded gypsum stucco is the
proportion and that amount makes
three square yards of lumber one inch
thick. 1t can be made at labor cost
of 3 cents per square yard in ordinary
wood molds. having adjustable sides and
ends and a undiscovered bottom. By
mixing a little stuccO and sawdust and
pouring into a cigar box and let - set,
the results will be surprising to people
not familiar with the action OF gypsum
mortar-it sets very quick, and when
to wood studs, and the material holds
nails very we'll
For a real cheap wall it can be nailed
on the wood studs and the joint filled
with mortar and you have an alright,
vermn-proof wall. or give it a skim
coat of plaster and you have it ready for
papering. Cast this lumber two inches
thick and set between twO-inch wood
studs and form a solid partition which,
when given a half inch of plaster on each
side is far less expensive than either
wood or metal lath plastered, and on ac-
count of the fbrous nature of the lumber
is more sound-resisting than the hard
plaster applied on wood or metal lath.
This lumber can be used In most all
places where expensive plaster board
would be acceptable. and costs within the
reach of the poorer classes, for they can
make it.

1t is improbabl that there will be any
great difference of opinion among those
experienced in the trade as to the loca-
ton of registers in houses in which fur
mace heating equipment is installed, says
the Building Age. The majority of ex-
perienced furnacemen favor the shortest
possible pipe from the furnace and the
register located near one of the inside
rather than near one of the outside walls.
1t has been given as the experience of
successful observing furnacemen that
registers near the outer walls are not so
efficient as If placed contiguous to the
interior walls of room.
With any system Of heating the warm
air at the ceiling, on approaching the
outer wall, strikes a cooler surface and
falls along the wall, increasing In We
locity as it follows down the cooler wall
until 1t drops with some positiveness near
the floor. Consequently, when a warm
down currents the warm air that should
Prise from it is retarded and in some in
stances the outflow is entirely stopped.
This leads to a down current of this
cool air through the pipes to the furnace,
if the furnace Is not adequately supplied
with air from some other point. Invaria-
bly, to locate register near an outer wall
means longer pipe. with an attending
loss of heat In the cellar.
There have been those who have OBJ
served that the locations of a radiator
and a register are selected from directly
opposite points of view. Radiators as a
rule are placed under windows. where
the greatest amount of cold air falls, SO
that they can warm it as it falls or drive
conflicting currents of warm air against
it, while the radiator proper sends its
heat into the room. Registers should be
so located that the warm air from the
heater will be carried as quickly as pos
sible from it to the rooms. where it will
diffuse through the room in such way
as to warm 1T before 1t is chilled too
much by contact with the cooler surfaces
of the exposed walls.

of Homes.

Many people refrain from building
homes because they have been told by
their friends that it always costs more
than they thought il was going to do.
And then eXplana lions of how much

this involved than the original amount
provided for, are forthcoming, with
the result that the man who had no.

residence decides to pay rent a while
longer and not risk plunging in over
his head
This condition, according to the
Building Age. is remedied to a large
extent by the percentage plan, for a
limit is always fixed beyond which the
builders may not go. And when there
IS added to this, is frequently the
case, a provision that the builder is

DESIGN OWN APARTMENTS,
Lessees Permitted to Arrange Flool
Plans to Suit.

Competition among builders of high
class apartments in New York city has
made it possible for a lons-term lessee to
arrange the floor plan Of his apartment
to suit his own taste and convenience.
This has been done in several Of the big
apartment houses along Park and 5th
avenues and on the upper West Side,
where rents range from 5000 to 800 900
a year.
Features of construction tending to
greater conveniences in living and ele-
gance in appointment have been sought
eagerly by builders of these magnificent
structures, and no expense is spared to
meet every need and desire of the occu-
pants.
1t is possible today for the tenant of
one Of these houses to possess all the
privacy OF the Individual home while he
enjoys at once a freedom from the care
