coming down SO that poor man with a
Wile ana family can live? Since the first
OF the year the papers have been full of
stories of the reduction Of wages from 10
10 20 per cent and more. But there ha g
been nothing said Of rent reductions.

And now | have been informed that my

M. n w.
Answer The renting situation is as
serious as it ever was. Rents for resi-
Dental property have not been reduced
and the belief is that they will go
higher. In fact, many rent payers
have been notified Of increases and
others will be informed in October
that more money will have to be paid
for their premises. Hope for a decline
IN rentals lies in an extensive building
program. So far comparatively few
homes have been erected. Until the
supply Of premises has come close to
the needs of the city, landlords will
not be forced to change their rentals.
There is no competition among owners
for tenants now. Of course, if men
are thrown out of employment and are
continued out of work for a long
period landlords will have to adjust
their rentals to meet the adjusted in
comes of tenants, but only a busines ss
panic could bring about such situa-
ton. The amended rent laws demand
that a landlord show the reasonable
ness for an increase in rent before he
can collect it. Let your landlord take
you to court. 1t is possible that the
judge will not allow another boost,

had, nor was there heavy machinery
for grinding the stone.
Labor was not costly when the an
cient builders were using cement
Thousands of men, all the vassals of a
master, captives of war many of them,
were put to work making the cement
which was used in the construction of
the Pantheon, the Pont du Gard, the
pons Fabricius. Appian Way. Amphi-
theater of Pompeii and other great
structures of the Romans.
Impressed World With Building
The first extensive use of concrete
construction and its extraordinary de-
velopment' by the Romans from the
first century b. G. came in direct re-
sponse TO demand for building con-
struction as means to an end. That
is, construction of nature as much
utilitarian as ornamental. Practically
days, paid tribute to Rome. It's con-
quests were many. Triumphal arches,
temples, theaters, aqueducts, bridges
and roads were constructed on vast
scale to indicate to the newly acquired
provinces, which were naturally restive,
the power and administrative energy
of the Romans. 1t was the most inten-
sive building period the world had
known and, according to some opinions,
ldS BoHc WltHout parallel loT IWeNey
centuries-until the introduction of
present-day methods of building.
Building Record for 20 Centuries
The Romans discoveries in concrete
mixing made it possible for them to
make such prodigious strides in engi-
neering and architecture.
At the foot of Vesuvius were inn
mense deposits of reddish sand or vol
canic ash called pozzuolana. which
when added to lime mortar, made hy
draulic cement. This gave to the Ro-
mans a concrete of extraordinary
strength and permanence, which har-
dened under water as we'll as in the
air, and became the basis of their en-
tire system of building.
sive demonstration which the builders
crete gradually fell into disuse. French
and English writer's as late as the
eighteenth century speak of the Ro-
man method of mixing cement as lost
secret, formula buried in the dark
ness of the Middle Ages.
| Although Portland cement was pat
ented by Mr.. Aspdin, an English engi-
neer, and reinforced concrete is cred
| tied to Frenchman, America has made
| the most use of them. The manufac-
| ture of Portland cement has been
brought to the highest state of perfec-
| tion in this country, and our use of
| concrete now ranges from the water
ing trough to the Panama Canal.
Use of cement has made possible the
impressive architectural effect of vast
and lofty interiors unencumbered by
piers and columns.

Architect

In some ways brick is one of the
hardest mediums TO design in. Hard
in the sense of getting some sort of an
apparent note to the design as whole,
without having the material clash
with the design itself or, what is
worst of all, avoiding total dependence
on the brick texture itself to redeem
an uninteresting design.
To-day much is offered in the way of
brick colors and textures and, as in so
many other materials, the price has
not a fixed ratio to the abstract quail
ity and less yet to the beauty
Properly speaking, I should not, in
describing this weeks house, have
digressed so far on the subject of
brick. Inasmuch, however, as this is
one Of the first houses / have shown
indicated as of brick, perhaps | had
better rid myself Of these observa-
tlons in the hope that those who are
following this series may see brick as
a building material from a new angle
Design and material have a relation
frequently inseparable in the structure
deslgned by competent architect. It
is safe to say the material cannot be
changed to any "favorite" the owner
may have liking for.
Brick Effects Are Many
Even in brick alone some designs
call for smooth or rough brick, or even
for common brick, even whitewashed
brick. Unfortunately the eye un-
trained by long study in architecture
and construction easily confounds a
sturdy looking cottage, or one where
people live you like, with the material
of which it is built and false notion
arises. Again, individual samples of
brick held in the hand indoors pic
ture to few eyes the appearance of a
complete wall of assem- bled thousands
out of doors. Hand samples, too, have
scale of texture, or pattern if mot
tied, lost in the wall. Also more than
all, mortar, which occupies 10 to 20 per
cent of the wall area, modifies brick
work to a degree even experienced
architects are often fooled by. Not

Builders of ancient Rome knew q
lot about concrete, and used it extern
sively in civic and private undertake
ings. 1t was well that they knew SO
much about this building material and
were so generous in the use of it. Had
they used less durable substance in the
building of the monumental structures
that were features of Rome the re-
mains of these great projects would not
he dotting all southern Europe, serving
TO emphasize the advancement of the
people who lived for centuries in these
parts before the coming of Christ.
Preserved Records of Romans
The discovery of cement by these
early people was fortunate, for other
wise nothing much would have been
known about this wonderful race. They
would have been obliterated and moth
ing of their history, intelligence, char
acter or enterprise would have come
down through the years to posterlty.
They told their story on slabs of cement
and built their homes, their govern
nent buildings, waterworks and the
like of concrete, which has resisted
the wear of thousands of years.
Slabs almost as perfect as when made
have been discovered by archaologists
who have deciphered the chiseled char
acters which tell many wonderful sto-
ries about this race, which WAS van
Quished by the advance of Christianity.
The ruins of the buildings they erected
are among the great sights of the world
and are continually furnishing investi-
gators. students of the Roman period,
with new sources of research into this
really wonderful era in the progress of
the world.
Cement Passed with Rome
The making of cement seems TO
have passed with the Romans. They
were the only people living along the
Mediterranean who used concrete.
Others used brick or mud, or some
other clay substance. In the great
evolution that followed the death of
Christ, which eventually destroyed the
great Roman Empire and changed the
ways of many nations, the secret of
cement making was one of the many
arts of these early people that was
lost.
1t was not until eighty years ago
that it was rediscovered. The engineer
building the Eddystone lighthouse was
the man who reintroduced this ma
terial to the modern world. Portland
cement was made some time after by
Joseph Aspdin, of Leeds, England, an
other engineer. 1t was a big step in
the return march of this material into
construction work.
Cement did not jump to the fore as
quickly as it should have because OF
its cost. There were no railroads, o,
very few, serving. sections where the
