but build substantially those things
which must go into the beginning.
You can wait for a sun parIor,
sleeping porch, garage. permanent
walks, fences, etc, and can divide
your attic and finish 1t at a later
date.
Above all, keep in mind that
thrift depends not entirely upon
the finish. but more what is under
the finish.
Sturdy founda.ion. we'll insulated
walls. a good heating plant. fire
stops. protection of the most haz-
ardous places against fire. and a
plaster base that will prevent un-
slightly cracks, are some of the
things most necessary to minimize
depreciation and upkeep expense.
When We will build fewer PASTE
board houses and more permanent
buildings: when We will pay less
FOR fires and more for fire-re-
sistive materials. especially in the
most hazardous places, then Ameri-
can homes can be expected to en-
dure long enough to have a few
memories and traditions.

New Well Point Process
Makes Dry Sand Work
Possible.

Tremendous Importance is at
tached in building and construction
circles to an innovation that has
been introduced in connection with
an operation now being completed
/ in Atlantic City. N. J. As a result
of the new process, there will be
no settling of the foundations.
The new process consists of max
| ing holes in the sand one and one
half inches in diameter and about
feighteen feet deep. Well-points
are then sunk in these holes. and
the water is pumped out at a
point far below the surface. On
the Atlantic City job. where the
experiment has been tried out. 500
well-points are in use. The tip OF
each point is covered with screen
of sixty meshes to the square inch
so that no sand is sucked up as a
result of the pumping process.
Thus, in making excavations for
the caissons, the work is being
done continually in dry sand. No
boxing is necessary. The work can
thus progress much more rapidly.
and when the job is completed
there will be no settling.
It is said that the experiment in
AIldntlC lily mas Deen SO success
full that it will completely revolu-
tionize construction methods where
excavation is done in a pure sand
soil. The improvement on which
the new idea has been carried out
so successfully is 40o-room addi-
ton to the Ambassador Hotel, one
of the units of the Ambassador
Hotels System. which also is build
ing a $10,o00.000 hotel in New York
city and a $4,0o0,O0O hotel in Los
Angeles.
A similar process of operation
has been used heretofore in dig
ging tunnels, sewers and similar
classes of excavations. but the
Ambassador job is the first one
where the method ever has been
introduced in building work of this
nature. An indication of the value
Of the well-point method Is shown
by the fact that one of the large
Atlantic City hotels has recently
spent 100000 in repairing damages
due to the settlement of the
foundations.
The same system will be used in
building the new $8.00O,OO0 Ritz
Carlton Hotel in Atlantic City.
