man, Says.

1t. is common practice to install
interior Trim before the plastering is
dry, and it has been noted in some
instances that contractors even. so as
far as to. place it before The plaster
ing work is completed. If interior
trim, doors or windows are even
stored in a house or room before the
plasrerfng is thoroughly dry. they
will unquestionably shrink and warp
and perhaps become nodded or full
of moisture. .
A local millwork manufacturer
contends that the factories haveN a
great deal of trouble on this account.
In almost every instance he reports
the small-house contractor puts up
his interior trim just as soon as he
is through plastering and before 1t
has had time to dry out. Naturally,
or shrink. At all times the trim
should have shellac filler. and
should not be installed until .the
plastering Is thoroughly dry
When factory work shrinks, the
0rst complaint comes to the ccntrac-
manufacturers. 1t is not,the fault of
the manufacturer in this case. but
the fault OF the contractor II archi-
tects would insist upon the contrac-
for keeping his trim and sash and
doors in a dry place and prohibiting
plastcring is thoroughly dry. OF even
storing. them in the house white. the
plastering was being applied, IL
would serve to greatly reduce the
general cost of millwork and also
save considerable unnecessary trou-
BILE, delay, cost and annoyance.
Never fit or hang windows and
doors and don't put up the inside
trim until the pfasterfng is thor
oughly dry.

TO MAKE CONCRETE
FLOORS DURABLE.
Builder Says Wearing Quality May
Be Increased by Solution
" He Prescribes.

-
The wearing qualities of a concrete
floor may be Increased by treatment
with some good noor hardener., a
builder says.
One treatment consists in the ap-
piication of about 16 per cent solu-
ton of zinc sulphate with about Va
per cent free sulphuric acid applied
four hours after the first one. The
surface should be scrubbed with hot
water and mopped dry Just before
the application of the second coat.
This treatment gives the fioor a
darker appearance than the original
concrete
There are number of compounds
OF oils, gums, wakes. etc, which are
sold as concrete floor hardeners.
Pulyerized Iron mixed with sal am
inoniac or some other oxidizing agent
is also used both as an integral floor
hardener and as a treatment for a
concrete floor surface.
There are on the market numb ber
of compounds which are widely rec
commended for inclusion in the body
of the concrete. Instructions for
the use of these compounds invaria-
bly, call for many of the methods and
sential for successful concrete floors
built with the inclusion Of integral
compounds. Poor work mans ship or
improper methods OF materials cam
not be compensated for by the ad-
mixture of any material other than
those used in making good concrete.
AdmiXtures containing chemicals
may interfere with the chemical ac-
tion between the cement and the wa
ter. UnqCestionable evidence should
therefore, be had about the effect on
the concrete of any proposed admix-
ture before it is specified for use.
Decorative floor paints or coatings
may be had in considerable variety
$rnv oil 10 fo ~fy,r
most without exception these paints
require that the floor be thoroughly
clean and dry when the paint is ap-
piled. A fairly wide range of colors
is available and while these paints
wear of under foot traffic, they are,
in general. as permanent and wear
resistive as the paints in use on
wood floors.
