Steel for the erection of build.

years ago, but wonderful strides
have been made in building con.
struction through it's use The
modern skyscraper of today would
not be possible were it not for it's
skeleton Of steel.
The use of steel shapes in the
construction of large buildings is
now an everyday occurrence, but
most important development is
the use of this material for
smaller buildings, such as garages,
schools, churches and even resi-
dences.
The ordinary shapes, while ex-
cellent for large structures, were
often too heavy and expensive for
use in smaller construction. There
fore several manufacturers mace
the innovation of supplying light
structural shapes that had the
requisite amount of strength for
moderate loads with the minimum
amount of weight. These light
steel shapes are easily handled and
used in conjunction with metal lath
and concrete, and it is now pos.
sible to erect fireproof walls, floors
and ceilings at a cost but little more
than the ordinary type of nonfire-
proof construction used for small
buildings.

CONCRETE
SLABS
Finds Diagonal Reinforcement
Sometimes DesirabIe-Re-
port Available.

1t would be natural to suppose
that the most effective way of using
steel for reinforcing concrete floors
and other slabs would be to place
it in the direction in which the
stress was applied, and at right
angles to the direction of probable
cracks. Mathematical analysis of
the problem confirms this assump-
ton.
In the design of concrete ships.
however, there were other considera.
tions which made it seem desirable
to place the steel diagonally with re-
spect to the direction in which the
cracks were expected. Accordingly
tests were made at the Bureau Of
Standards on slabs in which diff
ferent types of reinforcement were
used. These tests confirm, in gen.
eral way, the correctness of the
mathematical analysis and show
that the reinforcement should be
laid parallel with the span and not
at an angle with it; unless there
are other factors, such as shrink
age in setting or expansion and con-
traction with change in tempera-
ture, which tend to produce cracks
at right angles to those due to load
stress.
But shrinkage and expansion oc.
cur in all concrete structures and
frequently transverse reinforcement
is required. Cracks from such
causes may be prevented by the
use of bars laid at an angle with
the span, or by mat reinforcement.
In these tests it was found that
the use Of reinforcement having
diamond shaped meshes distributed
the cracks effectively and kept
them smaller than was the case
with the other types of reinforce
ment tested. About a twelve.1nch
lap where the ends of these sheets
of expanded metal joined was
found necessary to prevent slip
ping of these spices.
The early close or the war rem.
dered it unnecessary to apply the
results of these tests to concrete
ships; but the information acquired
Is likely to be Of value in the de.
sign of buildings.

WATER SYSTEM
IS PORTANT
FACTOR
Good One Can Now Be Pur-
chased for Price Of
Average Auto.

It is a far cry from the days
when the first people carried water
in stone jars or in the skins of ami.
mails. Equally remote now seem
the days of the coon-skin cap and
the old flintlock rifle. The last
century has seen many develop
ments that have made life more
profitable and enjoyable.
Our great-grandfathers plowed
with oxen, harvested with scythcs,
and threshed with fails. Our great
grandmothers ran spinning wheels
and carded wool by hand, cooked at
an open fire, and carried water In
wooden buckets from the well or
spring: Today! What a change is
seen where the farmer is intelligent
and progressive.
The development of farm water
systems has lifted heavy burden
from the shoulders of everyone on
the farm. It means freedom from
back-tiring drudgery for the house
wife to have running water in the
house for every need. Outdoors,
is means better live stock and
greater profits; with less time
spent in monotonous chores. OF
great importance, too, is the real
fire protection it brings.
A good water system can be pur-
chased and installed for about the
price of an ordinary automobile.
The upkeep is much less. 1t is
indeed a long stride from water
carried in jars and skins to run
ming water on the farm piped into
every building-every room if de.
sired.
