SHOW INCREASING USE
Practice Growing Here, Though Eng
land and Germany Lead in Creo-
sote and Chloride Treatment.

That England and Germany, with
their realization of the need for con-
servation of national resources, are far
more particular about the use of creo-
soted timber for heavy construction
work than the United States, and the
lesson for the United States in this at
titude, are features Of a forest service
bulletin issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture in co-opera-
ton with the American Wood Pre-
servers Association.
Helphenstine, jr, of the forest service.
He says that in Germany and England
practically all cross-ties, for instance,
are treated with chemicals or preserv-
ing oils, while in the United States only
about 30 per cent are so treated. He
points out that the use of creosote and
similar preServatives on heavy timber
for building construction is largely in
creasing.
The plants of the Atlantic coast
region consume the most creosote and
the least Of zinc chloride. The south
ern coast region is second in creosote

Building Officials Have Part.

The community spirit, the spirit OF
cooperation and conservation. has not
yet developed the homes OF this
youngest of nations. There Is no such
thing as clearly developed public con-
science or an understanding public
mind. The melting pot has not boiled
long enough over the fires OF liberty.
Therefore, we cannot hope to bring
about both rapid realization and rapid
public action in this matter of guard
is where the officials having to do with
the making and carrying out of laws
relative to the construction Of build
ings can play the part of a good citi-
zen and bring great benefit to the COM
munity.
Building officials should be inter
ested in means of safeguarding the
community against the loss of life
and property, and particularly
should they realize and act against
the fire hazard. Let building in
spectors study the menace of the
wood shingle roof; let them get I'M
biased testimony as to the part such
roofing has played in all the great
CONGREGATIONS of history. Read the
reports from fire chiefs from every
part of the country and see how
many fires come under the heading
Sparks on Roof" Every masonry ex-
terror is a check to spreading flames
and an assistance to the local fire de-
partment.
