Plan by n. L. II. A.
Sketch Illustrates New Features of
Fire Resistive Construction.

~ ANGER from fire in frame houses
has been reduced fifty per cent.
~ through improvements in con-
struction worked out by the most COM
petent engineers in the lumber indus
try. This announcement has just been
made after these engineers have been
working upon improved designs in
frame construction during the past
year with a view TO reducing the fire
hazard for wood houses to a minimum.
Practically no change in appearance
in houses constructed by the improved
methods and very little. IL any. addi-
tional cost Is involved. but the meth
DDS recommended by the engineers give
protective features making the frame
house essentially reslstive to fire.
Interposing of panels and short
pieces within spaces that ordinarily
serve as fiues for rapid spread Of fire.
for instance. reduces danger from this
cause. Other protective improvements
prevent wooden parts catching fire
from chimneys. hreplaces, heating
plants and steam and hot water pipes.
While wood win burn and there Is
no such thing as a ''fireproof' house
within the reach Of the ordinary
pocketbook. the new protective meas
ures devised by the lumber engineers
offer an economical type Of construc-
tion that is fire resistive and as nearly
freproof as frame construction as now
developed can be made, according to
their conclusions. vThe methods con-
form strictly to the scientific codes of
the most progressive cities and carry
a minimum of fire risk because Of the
necessarily slow spread Of combustion

construction.
