MODERN ROOF CUTS
FIRE HAZARD AND
CREATES BEAUTY

"Once we rooted our houses with
shingles. We literally had wood to
burn and our shingle roofs did burn
quite frequently.
"But in modern home building-thc
roof too has come in for its share of
development" says n writer in Gar
den and Home Builder for October.
For two centuries recklessly prod
igal Of our national treasure, we are
commencing to face the fact that our
forests and quarries cannot prove in
exhaustible and we are beginning to
handle our products with more intelli-
gent restraint. Conservation has at
last found foothold in the public con-
seriousness, not merely as an idea but
as practice, and the value of manu-
featured roofings, viewed from this
angle, becomes. apparent.
Clearly an outcome Of necessity
and of logical effort to meet certain
specific modern requirements, new
roofings are rapidly being perfected.
Not only is the primary idea of prac-
ticability now an accomplished fact
but an increasingly wide range of
color effects and of shapes is at the
disposal of the home builder"

STEEL FABRIC
FOR STUCCO
IS TESTED
Ed Stoves and Sons Say
Growing Tendency
Toward New Materials.

Stucco and plaster are coming into
popularity in San Antonio construc-
tion more and more each year nc
cording to Ed Stoves and Sons, one of
the Oldest lumber firms in Texas,
because they are materials ideally
suited to San Antonio climatic con
ditions and are comparatively mex
pensive.
Before an assemblage Of architects,
lumber and material men, contractors,
fathers, plasterers and carpenters,
upon invitation Of Ed Stoves and
Sons, Harry H. Fades. national sales
representative of National Steel Fabric
Company OF Pittsburgh, Pa, gave a
demonstration of the holding powers
of national steel fabric, style P-2l4
as a base for plaster and stucco.
The demonstration was held in an
unoccupied building, just being COM
pleted at 42S North st. Mary's street,
December 2, and the test placed the
stucco and plastering jobs in direct
contrast with a lumber job. /
6TOOD TESTS.
Both were put on just as they are
customarily built in San Antonio con-
struction with the result that when
pressure was applied with screw jacks,
the stucco and plaster job proved lar
stronger and less disturbed than did
the lumber job. Both jobs, however,
withstood the severe test so favorably
as to bring out forcibly, the value oil
proper construction to insure long ser
vice, in home building.
Mr.. Fades gave the correct specifi-
cations for mixing Portland cement
stucc0 and for plaster and he proved
to the satisfaction of his audience
that National Steel Fabric, Style
P-214, properly used, will meet the
specifications Of the Portland Cement
Association and Bureau of Standards,
Washington. D. c., as base for
stucco and plaster Jobs.
MORE RIGIDITY.
He demonstrated that by his expert
ments, that the steel fabric, attached
direct to the wall studdings in SINH
lar construction to a dwelling, elimin-
ated the expense Of sbeathiDg and add
co at least oUU per CeuI InoIc inquiry
to the structure than the combined
walls of lap-siding and ship-lap, as
DOW employed in the usual frame con-
struction.
I'VE were particularly interested in
this demonstration, said Walter
Stoves of Ed Steves and Sons, be
cause for some time, we have been
convinced that the tendency towards
stucco jobs was not temporary but
o permanent gain in the popularity
of this construction. We believe this
National Steel Fabric when properly
put on and when covered with a stucco
mixture according to correct specifi'
cations, will give the utmost satisfac.
tion ut comparatively small cost and
will practically eliminate upkeep cost
We are endeavoring, however, to sell
the users of these materials on the
idea that unless these structures are
properly built and erected according
to proper specifications. stucco con
struction suffers, whereas, it is nc
fault of materials but Of construction
only. Properly built, stucco dwell
ing il now both practicable and highly
desirable and we are being called upon
to figure materials on a number OF
such jobs"
