ADOBE AS BUILDING MATERIAL
Experiments Have Shown, It 10
Claimed, Durability Of This Old
and inexpensive Material.

Adobe, the oldest known building
material in southern California, is due
for a revival, according to John w.
Chard, Santa Barbara architect. He
asserts that if properly prepared this
native material can be used to very
considerably cut the cost of building.
"Experiments," says Mr.. Chard,
shave shown that adobe is the least
affected by changes of temperature
among all the building materials. Tests
show that adobe bricks register no
more than six degrees difference be-
tween February cold and extreme Sep
TENDER heat. AS building material it
is far stronger than is generally sup
posed and develops a compressive
strength as high as 400 pounds to the
square inch.
''The proper plaster protection will
insure an adobe wall against deterioria-
ton. Hard cement plaster thorough
~ anchored into the walls and treat
ed with an all-mineral interpreting
compound will give adobe walls great
durability.
"Adobe is wet soil mixed with
straw, cast into molds Of required size
and left to dry in the sun. AS build
ing material adobe is everlasting,
soundproof, nonconductive and fire.
proof, always of normal temperature,
and is cool in summer and warm In
winter."-Los Angeles Times.

Paris City Of "Old CLo'."

Paris just now is full Of "old clo'."
Not only are new wardrobe dealers
starting in all quarters, but even the
cleaners are filling their windows with
half-worn frocks and cloaks for sale.

She must be as smart as usual, but
as dress costs more than ever, she

balance her accounts.

Aouseboat on Land,

The housing shortage in Cincinnati
is presenting some unique problems to
the building commissioner, George
Hauser. The owner Of a houseboat
on the Ohio river asked permission
to transfer the cabin Of his boat to a
foundation which he has prepared on
Southside avenue. In the summer he
plans to restore it to the boat, thus
using the cabin as an all-year-round
home. The purchaser Of a number OF
discarded cottages built for the gov
eminent nitrate plant at Ancor, near
Cincinnati, has applied for permit
to bring them into the city and erect
them into fiat buildings by arranging
them three on top Of each other. He
contends that this can be done with
safety and convenience

ents and why? Because so much
musical educa ton is impractical.
once heard father complain that
he had spent thousand dollars in or.
der to have Anita learn "Pussy's
Waltz"-and that she soon forgot it,
/ Josef Hoffman says that music is

Imagine a party without music!
Could We dance to a soundless &C.
compartment? Why have young girls
"taken" so many lessons, if they do
not make use of them when need
arises?
Music is a language of sound. Ev-
cry home needs music. Children are
happier and healthier when they go
to sleep or wake up singing. The an
Gent Greeks gave music the first
place in the education of little child
rem and modern educators are begin
ming to do the same. Musical games,
folk dancing, and good songs add to
the happiness of little children, and
every mother should be able to play
simple songs.
The reason why so. much money has
been spent without results is because
many musicians teach children noisy,
rapid "pieces" with which to i'm
press the listener. Parents have want
ed to "show off" their children, and
teachers have catered to parents.
The children were bored-and stopped
this artificial process as soon as they
could.
A young girl, if she is not forced to
perform" can learn to play the
principles of melody, rhythm and har-
mony in a few years. The woman
who can sing, play, and harmonic
simple music has means of express
sion which soothes the irritants of
life, both for herself and others. Who
cares whether she ever plays diff
cult music, if she can play some
beautiful ballads and folk songs and
perhaps some of the simpler classics !?
Her father, her husband and her
children will feel the spiritualizing
influence Of music every day. The
music that fills the minds of children
in a more or less unconscious way
makes for continual joy and harmony.

Sculptors in the DoIdrunns.

According to American Art News,
the sculptors complain that there is lit

The unsettled conditions Of the coun-
try, they contend, which are holding
up building, are accountable for the
present "doldrums."

READ THE WANT ADS
SPEAKS IN FAVOR
OF A. |. A. MOVEMENT

Last Tuesday morning, Miss
Griffiths, city librarian, gave an in
teresting talk on library organization
and the new movement begun by the
\. L. A.
Miss Grifiths has had considerable
experience in both large and small
libraries and is, therefore, in a po-
sition to realize the value of libraries
to society.
The Librarian gave brief discus
sion on the difference between large
and small libraries. She stated that
the large libraries had a great many
students working in the various de-
partments. There are three special
departments in all libraries, the cata-
Logging which is technical and difficult;
the children's department which is
handled differently than other de-
partments and with more freedom;
and the reference department which
is the most fascinating. The latter is
also divided into different depart
ments.
The large universities and colleges
have special and separate reference
departments for each line of work
each being in building by itself.
There are music, art. science, and sta
tistical libraries.
The efficiency Of the small library
depends upon the work done in the
different departments. Miss Grit
fiths also stated that there were co.
100000 people in the United States
who did not have access to library
books such as those living on the
waters and in isolated districts.
The librarian spoke of the A. L. A.
movement which is now being taken
up for the purpose Of establishing IL
braries in the places where these co.
100000 people might have access to
books and also making books for the
blind which was very expensive. The
A. L. A. is trying to raise $4,000, 900
by next fall, each state contributing
it's quota to the fund. E. J.
