CONCRETE BRICK
BEST IN TESTS
BYN,Y.EXPERTS
Investigation Of Building Ma
teriaIs Being Made at Co.
Iumbia University.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Elaborate
tests. the results of which will form
the basis of revisions In building codes
are going on at Columbia University.
So far the tests seem to show the gu
periority of the cement and concrete
brick over the clay brick. Conclusive
data Is being obtained, and, when
complete, will remove handicaps now
imposed upon the cement and con-
crete brick industry.
Various kinds of cement and con-
crete bricks designed and manufac-
tured to compete with the clay bricks
used extensively in the building indus
tries of New York city have been test
ed at the testing laboratories Of the
department Of civil engineering, Co
lumbia University" said a statement
by Prof. Albin H. Boyer. director Of
testing, who also. as chairman Of a
subcommittee of the American Society
Of Mechanical Engineers. has been
conducting an investigation Of the
theory Of elastic failure Of the ductile
ferrous metals.
THE manufacturing processes and
the quality OF these new kinds Of brick
have already reached the stage Of nc.
tive competition with the better
grades of clay bricks.
I'm cooperation with the bureau
Of buildings OF New York city. an ex-
tensive investigation is being car
ried on at Columbia University. with
the view Of determining the compara-
tive strength OF similar masonry struc-
lures built with cement. concrete and
clay bricks. The tests completed to
date indicate the ration Of the average
strength of brick masonry to the aver.
age strength Of the individual brick
composing this masonry varies widely
with the kind OF material OF which
the brick is made.
This strength or efficiency ratio
seems greatly to favor the cement and
concrete brick. which. with the NOR
tar. form a more homogeneous mono
lith than the various kinds Of clay
bricks now used.
Under the existing building codes
to our knowledge. cement and con.
crete bricks are only accepted as
building materials under the specifica-
tions and standard physical tests for
clay building bricks. II Is now being
realized that due to the wide varia.
The Washington times., 1921-09-17

tion in the physical properties.
strengths and behavior Of these DIFF.
ferent kinds Of brick mentioned. the
standard Of specifications for clay
bricks cannot in fairness be applied
to the cement and various kinds Of
concrete bricks developed to date.
THE investigation should be Of
great value to engineers, architects
and builders. and should form a basis
OF revisions required in building codes.
to cover the new material.
AT present the cement and con-
crete brick industry Is handicapped
by the lack Of provisions in the build
ing codes for this new material. but
before the necessary provisions in the
codes can be made, conclusive test
data must be available. The tests row
being made will furnish the necessary
data"

This attitude Of impartial frankness

Children Bora AT Sea.

J With three more passengers
than she had when she put out to
sea from CherobQrg, the liner
Adriatic arrived yesterday after
noon. The stork flew out over
the deep to her last Sunday and
for thirty six hours was very
busy. Mrs. Isaac Deutch became
the mother of a boy. Capt. Ham,
bFeton decided the infant should
be named Baltic, after one of
the White Star liners.
The next day a daughter was
born to Mrs. Isaac Rabin. Capt.
HambIeton named her Adriatie,
for his own ship. A few hours
later Mrs. Isaac Brailenu pre-
sented her husband with a girl
also. This Miss was such a
bouncer Capt. Hambieton called
her Olympic.
All three mothers. each with a
husband named Isaac, are Roum-
anians, and were steerage pass
engers. Parents and children
will be taken to Ellis Island. DR..
Douglas Marae, assistant surgeon
on the Adriatic, helped out the
stork. He said he believed he
broke the ocean record.

10 Choosing Candidates.

We notice where a candidate
for jaiIer in one of the Western
Kentucky counties, in his an
nouncement card, Endorses, the
principle of union labor favors
good roads, and believes in
economy in the administration of
government, He also adds that
he has large family.
What his position is on the Yap
controversy is not stated, neither
does he give US any idea of what
he conceives to be the proper
figure for the German repara-
tons, but aside from these sub.
tie evasions, he has taken a bold,
uneouivocal stand on all the vital
issues that concern the body po.
