HOLES IN CEMENT PAVING
CAN BE REPAIRED NEATLY

When cuts are made through
concrete pavements to permit re-
pair or installation of underground
structures, the patch can be made
so 1t can hardly be distinguished
IL proper precautions are taken
with the work.
Good practice includes trimming
the edges of the old pavement and
cutting a vertical square edge one
inch deep. The subgrade must be
tamped thoroughly to avoid any
further settlement which would
cause it to separate from the slab.
New concrete should be mixed on
the pavement near the hole just
before it is placed, care being ex.
ercised that a rather stiff mixture
be used. The edges of the old
concrete should be thoroughly wet
before filling in with the new
mix, but no water should be al
lowed to stand on the subgrade.
Thorough tamping of the newly
placed concrete is necessary. This
should be repeated three times at
intervals of about 10 minutes.
After finishing the new concrete
with a wooden float, it must be
allowed to cure thoroughly before
opening to traffic.

modern dollar-chasing days? Time
Is money.
Best Color Schemes.
And now a few words about color:
Almost invariably, where you find
natural fire-burned clay" used as
roofing, material, you will find the
subjacent walls Of a lighter or
neutral tone-usually stucco.
Have you ever beheld a red-tiled
roof upon structure of red brick?
The effect is lifeless and displeas-
ing. Why? Red is natures accent.
She uses it sparingly and, even
then, invariably balances it with
an expanse Of complimentary and
cooler color. How many green
leaves does a red-petaled rose de-
mand for it's environment? The
suggested thought cannot be over
looked, especially as regards a
house built in a wintry cline.
Nothing could be more bald or out
landish than a red-walled, red-roofed
house set in a verdure-denuded,
snow-clad landscape.
On the other hand, suppose the
walls were of stucco or, IL masonry,
is a wide range of color in natural
clays) and suppose further that
the house were situated in a land
Of year-round summer. The red
tiles furnish the accent. The neu-
trail walls and perpetual greenery
furnish the necessary aesthetic sup
port.
So, in the final analysis, it would
seem that red, as a roof color, is
unsuited to any but a tropical or
sub-tropical climate, for 1t clashes
harshly with a greenless landscape.
Uniformity Is Bad.
But, whatever the color Of roof
and walls, let those colors be not
Of paint-like uniformity. 1t is the
very nature of burned clay that
no two pieces are of the same exact
surfact texture or shade of color,
and assiduously to carry the matter
of color matching to its extremity
indicates a mechanical capacity for
application that effectually bellies
any assumed capacity for appreciat-
ing the natural possibilities of the
material.
We arc cursed with the tyranny
Of painted surfaces-surfaces abso-
lutely flat and uniform in color. If
this be not So, why should any NOR
tai strive to attain, deliberately and
expenRively, in an inherently color
ed material, the color uniformity of
a painted surface?
Tiles are put through the fire.
Why strive to efface the character.

s. w. Straus Company Re-
ports Shortage in Certain
Types of Construction

A slowing up Of building activ-
tiles throughout the nation in the
near future is not unlikely, accord.
ing to Investigations now being
made by s. w. Straus, president
8. w. Straus & Co., and made
public yesterday. Even such a
slowing up in construction opera
tons, however, would not necessar.
fly mean permanently lower build.
ing costs and cheaper rents, the
financier declared.
1.-THE shortage which has existed
in housing conditions for the last
five years js being made up In many
towns and Cities" Straus declared.
I'm these places 1t is to be ex.
pected that from now on building
operations will continue along nor.
NAL lines. In some cities, the short
age in certain types Of construction
has been overcome, and building
activities thus will be now diverted
from these types to the ones In
which deficits still remain.
Throughout the nation as a
whole, large shortages still remain,
and IL good judgment Is exercised
and a note Of proper conservatism
Is allowed to prevail, building &C
tivities will still continue in large
volume as a sustaining element to
the general prosperity of the coun-
try.
THAT a word of caution is now
in order can perhaps best be illus.
trated by "a study Of the actual
reports Of building activities. In
1914 building permits issued in the
100 leading cities of the country,
with a combined population of
25, 100000 were $840, 200, 900. In
terms of the 1913 dollar, this vol
ume would mean building permits
in these same cities at the present
time of approximately 81, $3.50, 900, 900.
The population increase in these
100 cities since 1918 has been Is
per cent. On the 1918 basis, there
fore. building, operations should
now be at the rate Of $1,000, O00, 900
per year, But in 1923 these 100
cities had building permits of ST.
they have shown q further increase
Of about IL per cent.
THUS 1t will be seen that build.
Ing operations have been proceeding
on a basis considerably above nor
NAL requirements, due to a great
extent to the shortage created dur
ing the war. Other factors have,
of course. had their effects on these
relative comparisons such as popula-
ton migrations, and economy of
space in the planning of buildings.
I'm view of all these facts it is
the part Of good business judgment
to analyZe most carefully each
future building project.
I'm my opinion the substantial
interests Of the industry will realize
the wisdom of this viewpoint and
will take such steps as shall con-

FLOOR MARGIN INCREASES
COMFORT IN DINING ROOM

In purchasing the dining room
rug, if you allow for a floor margin
wide enough to accommodate the
buffet and other wall pieces, you
will find it correspondingly easier
matter to care for the floor beneath
these articles of furniture.
Wilton, Hartford Saxony and AK.
minister rugs wear splendidly and
are thoroughly desirable for dining
room use. the figured ones being
less formal in effect and more
durable than those that are plain.

serve our building necessities and
keep the industry progressing along
normal and sound lines.
with regard to building costs,
there will always be fluctuations
due to temporary or local conditions,
and price levels may sag to some
extent. But 1t must be remembered
that these costs are vitality effected
by labor, transportation, taxation
and various other economic factors
in which immediate marked reduc.
lions are improbable. The advanc-
ing standards Of living by the
American people also exerts a pow.
erful tendency toward higher costs,
a condition which will not change
because it is a fundamental of
human nature"

low the natural Authorizations OF
color and texture to appear on the
roof? This does not mean that the
tiles should be laid thoughtlessly or
with studied carelessness. 1t must
never be forgotten that while the
kiln furnishes the variation, human
intelligence must be exercised in
combining the various hues and
shades into one harmonious whole.
Harsh contrasts are merely bar
barrie. But "azz" is an evidence
of aesthetic depravity.
