PREVENTING DECAY OF WOOD
Forest Products Laboratory Gives
Some Valuable Hints to Both
Builders and Architects.

The chances of infection of tinker
by wood-destroying fungi. while it lis
under the care of an architect in the
structure may be greatly reduced lby
following the hints issued by the fpr-
est products laboratory, Madison, Wis.
The material should be stored ion
well-dralned ground, where standing
water or overflow water may not reach
1t All rotting Or infected debris
should be collected and burned. Sound
lumber should not be piled along with
infected lumber. Weeds should be
removed from about the piles to allow
good air circulation.
The foundation should be of a ma
terial free from decay and should be
high enough to allow good ventilation
beneath the stacks. In humid regions
the stack should be on foundations IS
to "a inches from the ground Wood
treated with antiseptics, concrete
brick or other durable material should
be chosen for foundation. The
foundations should be built so that
the piles will slope Approximately one
inch to every foot of length.
In most regions lumber should not
be close piled in the open, but should
be thick. Lateral spacing is also very
desirable. Roofing or cover boards
should be used on the piles and should
extend over for several inches in front
and back.
Wherever infected or decayed mate
rial is observed either in the piles or
foundations, or the sheds, it should be
removed Immediately to prevent con-
tamination of sound material. The
material in close contact with the in
fected material should be carefully in
spected to detect decay, and, if in
fected, an antiseptic solution should
be applied. Water-solubie salts, such
as sodium duorid, mercuric chloride,
zinc chloride or copper sulphate are
recommended.

What Every City Needs.

Fault finders are numberless, who
stand with harsh censure and snap
judgment upon what the toilers are
doing, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
Tho toilers are too busy doing the
work of the fault finders, and they
csanet stop to explain. What every
plantation of human beings is in need
Of if it is to flourish. is a group of
men such as (to give but one shining
example) the late Albert e. Turner.
who love others better than they love
their own ease and quiet and spend
themselves in unselfsh endeavor. No
man gets the name of civic patriot
by doing things simply for himself
He must serve the public interest and
the general good, not his own pocket:
while the range of his charity may
cover the whole world, it should, in
the homely phrase, come home to
roost" in his own town.
