required to reach from one side of the
barn to the other. The ends Of the
middle tier of ioists are Tapped and
spiked against the inside ends of the
two outer tiers of jOists so that each
set of jOists forms a continuous tie
from one side wall to the other, to
take up the outward thrust of the
roof. The jOists are supported under
the Tapped ends on sets of Orders
built up out of four thicknesses OF
jOists, running continuously from one
end of barn to the other with as few
lengths as possible, and all end joists
broken so that there will not be more
than one end joint at any one place
along the length of the girder. These
floor beams are supported by posts or
preferably iron columns, which are SO
spaced that they will intersect with
the line of stanchions and the parti.
tons between the stalls, and rest on
concrete piers built below the concrete
floor.
The roof construction is a special
feature of the barn. In framing the
roof one set of rafters is carefully
laid out on the haymow floor, and af.
ter the exact length of each piece is
computed, these are used as patterns
and the required number of pieces cut
from this one set of patterns. When
all rafterS, braces, ties and collar
beams have been cut, each set of raft
ers, braces, ETC., is spiked together so
as to form a complete arch rib which
will reach from the plate of one side
wall to that of the other.
After all of the arches are completed
the end arch is hoisted up to a verti.
cal line, perfectly plumbed, well spiked
into place, and well braced. A block
and rope are hooked to the collar beam
| of the arch that is in place. With
this tackle the next arch is hoisted
plumbed and nailed in place. This
method is continued until all are in
place.
Each arch is nailed to several
sheathing boards, that are used as
guides and ties to secure the arches
as soon as they are raised, and each
arch is braced to the studding as soon

The day of the flapper will never
be over, for all the world loves youth,
and to be young and to look young
will be the whip over every woman
until another race of being follows
this one. But as much as is spoken
on this subject, there are thousands
of women who prefer to be stately
than absurd and who have found the
last three years excessively difficult
for them, willy-nilly, upon even the
strong-minded women who had re-
solved to look dignified at the expense
of fashion.
Adapted Themselves to Fashion.
Short skirts in the evening were
comfortable because dancing was the
universal recreation, but when short
skirts left the length demanded by the
fox trOt and almost reached the
length demanded by the ballet, it was
necessary to do something strange in
the way of a new fashion.

women to meet these new gowns, ii

Of many architects seems to make it
clear that many barns in the country
could have been greatly improved and
at the same time built at less expense
if they had been studiOusly planned
to meet the farmers needs, skillfully
designed, and carefully constructed.
There are alleys for both horses and

as set in place. These arches can be
raised and set in place by three OF
four men, while with the old method
of heavy purlin and post construction
ten or fifteen men may be necessary
to help hoist the heavy frame.
This type of roof has the advantage
of requiring less material and labor
than the heavy timber roof, is just as
strong and forms a NOW without any
obstruction.
