SHOOTING HOUSES
FROM A BIG GUN

By Cleveland Gaines in Popular
Mechanics: Shooting" houses out of
a "gun" is the startling latest
wrinkle in concrete construction. This
radical method of building dwellings
in short order, not only has proved
successful in the first two houses on
which it was tried, but has shown it.
self to have a number of advantages
not possessed by other methods of
construction. The gun itself consists
of nozzlelike affair at the end of
3-in. hose. Dry concrete is put into
a container and water forced through
1T. The mixture is thus made at the
last moment before it is applied.
In building the first of the houses
In this fashion. one-sided framework
ri tar paper and chicken wire was
Greeted. Iron reinforcing rods were
placed against this and the concrete
shot against it with the use of the
gun. A wall in. thick was "shot" in
this way, allowed to dry, and the tar
paper and chicken wire peeled off.
The result was a solid concrete wall.
Doors, windows, and plumbing We're
put in place and the wall shot around
them.
In similar fashion, ceilings, floor,
a fence around the yard, and other
parts of the house and yard were
shot. Seats We're shot into the wall at
one place, decorative designs in an
other, and so on. The resulting house
and yard was a complete home in one
piece--a monolith.
With the gun method, the walls of
a five-room bungalow can be complet-
ed in two days. The concrete is ap-
piled at pressure of 80 ID. to the
square inch, thus packing it as no 9TH
er force could do. Concrete improperly
mixed is automatically rejected-it
does not stick-therefore there is no
chance of imperfect materials going
into the house. The concrete is prac-
tically mixed at the instant of appli-
cation; thus there is no loss of
strength in the concrete, due to partial
drying before ii is applied. These are
few Of the outstanding advantages
Of the shooting method Of house cree
tion. There are many others which
must be obvious. Within few years,
all concrete construction may be By
the gun method.

WAGES
AND LIVING COSTS
Figures ShOW Their Disparity
and Plan Proposed to Equal
ize Them
United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE average
cost Of living in the United States in
December, 1921, was shown this week
by the United States Bureau of
Labor to be Al per cent higher than
the 'living cost in December 1915,
while the average hourly earnings of
higher than in 1916, according to
Interstate Commerce Commission sta
tistics.
This comparison is made by the
Railway Age in the following discus
sion of plans for reducing railroad
rates and wages:
The Bureau of Labor statistics
show that in December, 1921, the av-
erage cost of living in the United
States was AZ per cent higher than
in December, 1916. This is the low
est figure for cost of living that the
Bureau of Labor has reported since
the war in Europe began.
The latest available statistics re-
garding railway wages are those of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for September 1921, which have just
recently been made public,-there has
been no change in wages since then.
These statistics show that in Sep
tember the average hourly earnings
of railway employees We're 12l per
cent more than in the year 1916.
There are ten classes of employees
including about 100000 men, each
| class Of which are receiving average
hourly wages representing advances
since 1916 at least twice as great as
the increase in the cost of living, and
some of them enjoying increases owe,
/ four times as great as the increase ir
the cost of living.
Does the public prefer to have
the railways continue to pay the pres
ent wages or to reduce both the wages
and the rates ?" asks the Railway
Age. 'If it decides that the present
rates must be reduced, then it must
recognize tAe fact that this decision
necessarily carries with it a decision
that the present wages must be re-
duced. The rates and the wages must
stand or fall together"
