still the remains of the fort he built.
Harpers Ferry clings precariously to
a hillside in the angle of the meeting

narrow thoroughfare adds to the splen-
did panorama of mountain and river
and farmland that spreads before you.
From the top of the hill You look
over portions of three states-Mary-
land, Virginia and West Virginia. In
one direction the foothills break away
into rich, level acres dotted with farm
houses, and in the other are the wild
ridges of the Alleghenles. covered
with hardwood forests that are Hare

race through sharp canyons. and then

THE BUILDING SEASON"
INCLUDES ENTIRE YEAR
Not Limited to Few Months as
Formerly, Declares
Publication.

To architects who have been in prac-
tfce for decade or more the fact that
there is a general tendency to extend
what was formerly considered 'the
building season" until it practically
constitutes an all-year- round activity
Is apparent, says the American Archi-
tect. That this general attitude is one
of advantage to the client. to the pro-
fession and to the manufacturers OF
building materials is no less obvious.
OF course, in country possessing the
differences in climate that are to be
found in the extremes of the United
States a general rule cannot be ap-
piled; but even in northern latitudes
there is now more building and con-
struction work carried on during win
ter months than formerly, and by the
exercise of industry and ingenuity on
the part of both architects and build
ers we expect to see this materially in
creased from year to year.
Greater Profit Demanded.
1t is entirely obvious that any busi-
ness prosecuted in seasons only must
be carried on in a manner affording
greater profit on each Individual oper-
alton. in order to carry the organiza-
tion through the season of no work. 1t
follows as a corollary that if work can
be undertaken throughout the year it
will be performed at less total cost to
the builder, and we may depend upon
competition to reduce the cost to the
owner. What applies to the business of
the builder applies. with possibly less
force, to the work Of the architect.
While the cost of professional services
would be no more to the owner. under
the present system of architects fees,
there would obviously be greater
profit to the architect If his office could
be working at moderate rate and ca
pacity throughout the year.
Overcome Freezing Dangers.
AS to the character of work executed
in winter. it would seem that modern
practice employing comparatively quick
setting cements and methods now well
known of protecting work until con-
cretes and mortars have had sufficient
time to set, largely overcome the dam
gers which formerly attached to con-
struction work carried on in cold
weather. Moreover, it can be stated
that at least half of the work in con-
nection with large proportion of
building construction is done after ex-
terror walls have been completed and
the building temporarily inclosed; so
that heat can be employed to regulate
