good shape and still in good con-
dition.
AS to the question Of strength,
we have gone into this very /
carefully, and will submit the /
following Figures to convince
the doubling ones that is more /
than sufficiently gtrong to carry |
all loads that may be put on any
of the floors.
We will consider the two larg-
est rooms on the End floor; those
in the east aad west wing.
These rooms are 2Y-O"x30 o"
They have double flooring,
which is supported on 3"x12"
joist, 24'-O" span, spaced 16"
I on centers and have 6" bearing
upon the walls. These joists
viii support live load of 30 lbs.
per square foot. deductions hav-
| ing been ma de for the dead load
such as flooring and plastering.
These figures represent a factor
of safety of six; that is, it would
require approximately a live
load of 24O lbs. per square foot
to cause it to fail.
Considering now the load |
which it actually earliest These /
rooms care for SIS pupils and one
instructor. or Sc persons. Say
that for each of the 56 persons |
that there will be a visitor or a !
total of 112 persons averaging
120 lbs. or 13440 lbs, and Sc
desks averaging 40 lbs, or 2240 /
lbs, making a total live load of
1860 lbs. on the floor. This is
equal to live load of % lbs
per square foot.
Comparing this with 40 lbs.
you can readily see that the
floor will support 18 lbs. more
per square foot than it is nee
essary to support under average
conditions. At 40 lbs per square
foot and deducting weights Of
4 desks, the room will support a
total load of 221 persons averag-
ing 120 lbs, and this with a fac
tor of safety of six.
Now, that there is no doubt
about the strength of the floor,
we will explain why the cracks
or openings appeared around the
rooms at the floor line. Lumber
as it comes from the mills, is
usually quite green and even
though kiln dried will shrink
| considerably after being put in
to a building, especially so in
dry climate, and where hot air
( is used for heating the building,
| as is the case in this instance.
| This is the cause of the cracks
and openings and is evidenced
by the plastering having crack
ed on the ceiling at the wall
lline only. Had the floors been
weak. cracks would have ap-
peared across the ceiling at reg
ular intervals and at right an
/ giles to the direction Of the joist.
The exterior walls of the
building re in excellent shape,
evidenced by the absence Of
cracks, proving that there has
been no settlement in the foun-
dation.
REGARDING THE PLACING OF
THE TIES IN THE BUILDING, THIS
WAS NOT NECESSARY, but will
add strength to the floors that
are already more than sufficient
ly strong, and have tendency TO
stiffen the walls against lateral
pressure.
We can assure the people of
. Clovis that they need not have
the least fear as to the safety of
the building. as there is abso-

WONDERFUL WAR PHOTO
 DRAMA AT EMPIRE
Popular Playhouse Packed at All Per- formances- Battle Pic tures Stirring in Their Realism
 Again Tonight.

"The Battle of Gettysburg,'' the con fict marking the beginning of the end of the great Civil War, portrayed in all it's vividness and color, was thrown upon the screen to crowded houses at the several performances at the Em- pire theatre yesterday afternoon and evening. The battle scene is without doubt one of the greatest moving pie ture films ever produced
 The course of the conflict runs through five reels telling the great story of the long drawn out three days battle. The story depicts the oppo- sition of father to son, brother to brother, opposing each other in the greatest of the worlds struggles lead ing up to the great battle itself
 It marked the furthest rush north of the Confederate forces marshalled under the gallant Gen. Robert E. Lee The bulk of the rebel forces, 59, 1000 in number, had invaded Union territory and were fighting desperately to cling to their last slipping holds. The Union forces were very quickly mar shalled under Gen. Grant and advanc- ed upon the rebels who were entrench- ed at Gettysburg. Then followed the great three days battle, July 1, 2, 8, 1863 Repulsed in their attempt to break the Union lines on the third day, Gen. Lee determined to make a grand rally and pierce the breast works. Then came that famous

the contest is looked upon in some
quarters as a piece of spite work; in

contest was to have been fought last
Saturday, but the rain caused a post

The order of service was: Miss

Handy, mainly because of her own
hard driving and brilliant work at the
net. Mrs. Neff and Mrs. Pope rallied
and succeeded in taking the next two
games. In the fourth game the win
ners started to play good tennis and
won the set by taking five games in
a row.
The second set started with Miss

wildness on her part she lost the open

The Sam Langford- Gunboat Smith
fight Is not going to take place, and
l am not one bit surprised At the
Moran Palzer fight there was a lot
of talk about the white hope" and
the "black streak meeting, but just
when all present were certain that
such a bout would happen, along
came the wisest owl in New York
and put a fiat damper on the en-
thusiasm.
"Therell be no Langford- Smith
fight in this beautiful city of ours"
said the wise guy, with an air of abb
solute authority. The whites and the
blacks may mix it up eventually, but
there will be nothing doing with
Langford and Smith. Any time and
efforts given to arranging such bout
will result in wasted energy. POSI-
lively nothing doing in that line, and
take it from me as the best tip you
ever got"

sure to be felt, but what can Billy
