The best protection against light

In the construction Of The Stars

Smith, architect, and now being erect

ers. the first considerations have been
strength and durability. Before the
foundations were built the soil itself
was teSted and found firm and solid
to maintain the loads to he put upon
1t. The concrete footings were then
poured wide and thick to make a
proper base for the brick walls.
All the brickwOrk has been set in
cement and thoroughly bonded. sc
that bearings for floors and roof are
continuous down to the native earth
All rafters Of the roof are tied not
only at the heel or lower end. but also
with collar beams, which also form a
support for the attic ceiling. These
rafters must be heavy to support the
weight Of the slate roofing, which Is
itself a most durable material.
In this connection 1t is pointed out
that the requirements for any roofing
material are permanency as we'll as
water-tightness. Where the material
chosen has a life of only a few years

so that end wood is in bearing wher
