charge against him except that of con-

state of $4,000, 900 during Mr.. Sterling's

All charges of embezzlement during
his own term as state treasurer were

after you do know that they are cor
rectly designed and in harmony with
the other details of your house. You
VIII want to know that they will give
you the maximum protection against
weather. and the maximum of service.
These things are largely a matter of
material and construction, which most
people consider outside of their range
OF knowledge. In reality, the subject
is worth the attention Of every man
"'ho wants to build a home that will
give him satisfaction as long as it
stands.
A brief, and hope not too techni-
cal, description of how doors should
be made may serve perhaps to show
why door construction is important.
Doors may be solid or veneered, and
tor ordinary uses are usually ~ or l "a
inches thick. Every door, whether
solid or veneered. is made by the join
ing together Of vertical members, called
rails, and panels Of wood or glass, held
in by grooves in the stiles and rails.
Even so-called Slab" doors have these
features. though they are not in evi-
deGce. The stiles and rails are held to.
gether by round hardwood dowels, with
grooves running their entire length.
These grooves allow the air to come out
of the hole as the dowel is forced in
and the surplus glue to be taken up. in
suring contact throughout it's length.
Laboratory tests have demonstrated
that dowel joint of this character will
withstand pull of $3.50 pounds, which
is greater strength than the wood it.
self has.
The framework of a veneered door
composed of stiles and rails-is built
A Of f,1,l, IL
tongued and grooved and glued togetn-
er is covered with three -quarter-inch
strips of hardwood on the edges and
one-elghth h-inch veneer on the surfaces.
Waterproof glue is used for this. The
three-quarter-inch edge strip of hard
wood on the exposed edges allows for
the cutting in of molding around the
panel or glass, and gives the door the
appearance Of being solid hardwood.
after the panel grooves are cut and the
dowels set the whole is clamped to-
gether.
What Is Solid Door:
In solid door the stiles and rails
are ar of solid white pine. The groove
TOR the panel or glass and the nodded
edge surrounding it are cut right into
the edge of the stiles and rails. When
panels are inserted in the groove
1-16th of an inch is allowed to take
care of possible swelling of the panel.
In door with applied molding, as
distinguished from the cut-in molding
mentioned above, a small piece called
the spline is inserted in the panel
groove: To this the applied molding
on each side of the door is nailed by
hand. In this way panel that shrinks
or swells cannot pull the molding loose.
A little space is allowed under the
molding between the spline and the
panel to allow for any swelling with
out causing the panel to warp from
crowding. Precautions such as these
for swelling are necessary because of
the various climatic conditions to
which an exterior door is subjected

By r. c. Boyer
Of National Bridge Works

In a recent issue of The Tribune q
picture was published by Ding entitled
Isn't it about time for US TO plant
| the trees for our great, great, etc,
grandson's bungalow? since we are
cutting down our timber each year
SIX times as fast as it could grow, and
it takes three hundred years to grow
4 good saw log"
This picture typifes very serious
condition which Ding endeavors to
bring out, and the deep thinking man
can foresee the outcome of the
neglect as illustrated. This waste is
not by any means helping the economic
condition of this country, especially
at the present time. when we are years
behind with our building program. On
the other hand, wood construction is
not permanent. Homes that have taken
months to build can be completely de-
stroyed in few hours by the most
common enemy to the home-fre.
Wooden homes must be repair from
time to time, and recently we read Of
a new enemv which has attempted to
invade the home. In the State of
Kansas in commercial building the
columns and girders which were com
posed of wood were being destroyed
by ants.
Architects never think of specifying
wood for foundations or use wood
below the ground surface, because it

masonry, which produces permaaency.

use of concrete. Had the Romans
built their cities with material which
would deteriorate in a century's time
there would be nothing left to-day to
tell the story. Must our entire cities
and villages be rebuilt by our great
grandchildren, or are we going to adopt
types of construction which will be
reasonably permanent? Builders may
have given serious thought along these
lines. But when they take up their
pencil and figure upon present day
means a heavier burden on the present
generation. They do not forget in
this estimate, however, the fact that

Masonry is no new type Of con-
struction for side walls, and rein
forced concrete is not new in the con-
struction of hoors. but we must admit
that it is not the cheapest nor the most
economical, especially from the view
point of small residence construction.
Steel lumber also is no new type of
construction, but recently it has been
brought to such point of perfection,

men who have devoted their lives and

are made of three strips of veneer
glued together, the grain of the face
veneers running al right angles to that
of the core. This cross banding pro-
duces a strong panel that resists crack
ing or warping A cheaper panel is
made by decreasing the thickness of
the face veIcers and increasing the
thickness of the cheaper core, but such
panel does not have the appearance
nor the durability of one where each
piece of veneer is one-eighth of an inch
thick.
Raised panels are always solid. A
marked sharp raise adds much to the
appearance Of door because of the
play of light and shadow, which arc
really part of the design. In l A
inch doors raised panels 1-16 inch
thick are recommended, and in / 3s
inch doors panels 9-16 inch thick as
being more solid and durable than
thinner panels. Where the panel is
thinner the buyer can depend upon it
that the door is not made up to a
standard, but down to a price.
Best Woods for Doors

consideration in doors exposed to the
weather. For outside use solid doors
are recommended, made of California

Ha ardwood doors should only be used
where they receive the protection of

best possible construction and water

heavy and would not keep it's shape.

Reduced to their least common de-
nominator, your neighbors' houses and
the new one you hope to build are
walls with openings in them. Use or
comfort, and sometimes symmetry 0,
beauty, dictate the placing of those
openings. And because the climate, the
available materials, the mode of lif4
and the tastes of the builder are deter
mining factors in the use of openings
one can tell from the wall alone not
only the place in history to which il
belongs, but something of the life OF
the people who built it.
Our earliest ancestors rolled large
stones before the entrances of the,
caves to protect their children from
wild beasts. Underground ent' ances

In way the history of house en-
frances is also the story of the prog
ress Of civilization. To-day the subor.
dination of animals and the friendli
ness Of peoples toward each other

making his home different from those
that surround it, Sometimes. to BIZ
sure, he chooses to copy one of thos
heavy batten doors studded with mai,
heads and swung by huge strap hinge
behind which the Colonists barricaded
themselves against savage Indians
That, however, is his means of ey.
pressing his tastes rather than his
needs.
Smile on the Face
The entrance, some one has saids is
the smile on the face of the house. A
smile may be inviting and friendly, or
formal and forbidding. An entrance
may be broad and close to the ground
and be at the end of flagstone walk
with grass creeping up in the crevices.
Or it may be a sheet of plate glass
to which you climb a flight of steps, at
the end Of glaring eXpanse of white
concrete.
1t may be sheltered by hood of
interesting lines, or defined by trellis
transom. 1t may be all Of wood or
partly of glass. Perhaps it is one of
those quaint, attractive Dutch doors
that are in two parts. Knocker, latch
and hinges may distinguish it from
ordinary doors. All these contribute to
the appearance of the entrance.
The appearance of the entrance is
one of major Importance, and is largely
matter Of design which falls within
the province of the architect. If you
choose an entrance yourself, you are
limited by the necessity of consistency
with the architectural type of the house
itself-a subject which means no lit
tie study on your part.
You may prefer to let the problem
be solved for you by choosing a stock
entrance from catalog of architec-
tural woodwork. You could feel as
sured, in that case, that the entrance
was right, from the standpoint of the
architect.
Stand Up Against Weather
There are other things you will want
to know about your exterior doors,
