DECREASING

Figures proving that the relative
fire loss in the United States has
been lessened during the past few
years, as a result of improved
structural methods and the increased
use of steel, terra Gotta and other
incombustible materials, as well as
fire prevention education, were to-
day made public by the National
Terra Gotta Society.
THE ociety has maintained,
says the statement, that the fire
protection and prevention cam
paigns of the past decade have been
of marked effect in curtailing the
size of the national ash-heap as it
relates to burnable values, despite
the current record losses of about
$3.50, 200 900 a year. The investiga-
ton just completed bears out this
contention.
Last year. for example, the total
of incinerated wealth showed an ad.
vance of but two-tenths OF one per

loss increase was but 30 per cent.
The following year there was a 10
per cent augmentation of building
investment and only 81 per cent in
fire destruction.
Since then, as the tabulation be-
low discloses, like changes have been
seen, and the 1925 fire loss was prac-
tically stationary as compared with
1925. Further than this. the build
ing total of last year was 123 per

while fire damage was a mere 13 per

FILLER USED As
FREEBOOTER

Nearly all builders of new homes
are now installing some one OF the
many materials which will insulate
their homes against excessive heat
and cold. They are doing this
both to make their. homes more
comfortable in summer and winter,
and to cut down fuel bills.
In these homes which are being
built. the types of insulators that
can be used vary from the rigid
or semi-rigid boards of cane-waste
wood fibre. cork or gypsum rock
to the dry filters of wood. mineral
wool, cork or gypsum. But for the
owner OF the home already built
who wants to install a material
which will give him as much pro.
lection from weather as his neigh
Dor who is building a new home,
one of the dry filters is the most
practical material
The standing house can be in.

SKYSC RAPERS
/. FOR NEW ART

NEW YORK, July twin Amer
icais tall buildings offer the oppor-
tunity for development Of new art
in color harmony. comparable to
that used in exquisite oil paintings?
Many architects. builders and mate
rial Iaen believe this will occur.
according to. Frederic c. Hirons.
New York architect.
A number Of modern structures
have already made lavish and effec-
tive use of beautifully hued terra
Gotta and similar materials. but for
the most part these have so far
been in definite patterns and designs.
While this technique will probably
be developed even further. it is
predicted that still another form,
entirely different. will made its
appearance. says Mr.. Hirons.
Color experts will design. for the
tops and remotely viewed parts of
buildings, bright patches and splash
es of varying hues. which. when
seen from the ground. or from the
distance, will be composed into gor-
geous tints. almost impossible of
attainment with single colors.
AS an exampe. comparison is made
between an oil painting and an
ordinary Autograph or black and
white picture. The latter is likely
TO be of a definite pattern. with the
various coIors sharply delineated.
It's greatest effectiveness is achieved
when viewed from close at hand.
AS the distance from the picture
increases. its effect decreases.
Oil painting technique is contrast
ed with this. At close range. a cam
vass may appear to be overlaid with
almost unrecognizabie splotches.
From the proper distance. its COM
position is clear. Colors merge. new
tints appear. delicate combinations
are seen for the first time. Effects
are revealed. which could not have
been obtained in any other way.
The modern large building. it is
pointed out now. contains many
parts which are visible only from
certain distances. Close inspection
is never possible.
Minute decorative designs on such
parts are lost. Patterns must be
planned on a larger scale. and often
with more vivid colors, to retain
their qualities when seen from the
distance. The angles from which
they are viewed moreover. are not
the same as those from which the
hiueprints are examined. Sometimes
thew are seen from below-some-
times from the side-ofteD from far
awav.
The designers of the new Philadel-
mia Museum of Art have taken
advantage fthis situation. The
roof Of the building is to be of blue
terra Gotta tile. in huge square
pieces. with thick edges. The edges
are Of a darker shade of blue. so
that with each new angle from
which the roof is seen. it will assume
different tint, the two shades
blending together.
A vast range of possibilities is
offered in the technique OF color
composition. architects are realizing
row. The harsh lines of a building
may be softened attention may be
directed to the important features
of the structure. almost any effect
of strength. grace. soliditv, bulk or
light1ess NAV be obtained.

are so conclusive that one Is forced
to wonder. in spite Of himself. why
81 per cent OF the dwellings in New
York City are rented-a higher per.
centage than in any other city iH
the United States. The only answer
is that people do not think in
terms OF capital earnings-or else
they are willing to pay an undue
premium to live in rented dwellings
near the heart of the city.
When they pay this premium
knowingly and feel that they are
receiving value paid for--if they
can really afford to pay for it,
well and good. II they are paying
1t, however. because they do not
appreciate the capital value of
money. then there is still large
opportunity for educational work
not only by the real estate prefes.
sion but also by banks and schools
and universities.

These figures make It clear that

CITIES SHY ON
SCHOOLS

Comparatively few OF the larger
cities of the country have adequate
and satisfactory housing facilities
for their school population. Most
of them are compelled to resort to
the use of basement rooms or TEN.
porary quarters or to part-time
school schedules in order to &C.
commodate all of their pupils
Keeping pace with the increasing
army of children is always the
greatest problem with the boards
Of education.
School expenditures have been
showing tremendous increases in
every large city during the last de.
cade. In many cities they have
doubled in this period. In very
few instances has the increase been
less than so per cent. School con.
struction has been no small item
in this increase, particularly with
both material and labor costs ad.
vanced as they have been. And
not always has the best of 1udg.
ment been displayed.
During this period the average
cost of high school buildings in
some SO of the larger cities, &C.
cording to the announced results Of
recent survey, has been slightly
in excess of $1,000 per pupil. This
cost is independent of the school
equipment. Considering this it is
hardly to be wondered at that
boards of education have been find
ing themselves cramped for funds
to meet all the various demands for
school growth.

ECONOMIC
PHASE Of
RENT

Only two sorts of families should
pay rent, those who are too
wealthy to make thrift necessary,
and those who are too poor to
have margin of saving. For the
great majority Of people home.
ownership is almost prequisite
to creating a start toward financial
INDEPENDENCE. In estimating the
comparative costs of renting and
homecoming the costs should al
ways be estimated in terms of com.
pound interest; only thus, accord.
ing to w. Burke Harmon, can the
actual figures be appreciated.
Zone of the most important diff
fsrences between people who ac-
main in modest circumstances is
that the former look on dollar
not as a coin to be scent and for
gotten, but as something able TO
earn cents year for all time
to come" said Mr. Harmon.
A Mans Attitude
"A mans attitude toward his
monthly rent bill will often pre-.
determine his entire opportunity
for, real success in life. Inevitably
If he has the 'acquisitive instinct
he will regard rent not merely as
q certain percentage of income TO
be paid out monthly. but as CAPT.
tai which is capable of earning in
terest for the owner.
"In the amount of mere cash
pail out, a monthly rental bill of
$50 will amount to a total of
$4,000 in 10 years. $4,000 at the end
of Is years and $4,000 at the end
of 20 years. But regarded as
capital and compounded at per
cent interest. monthly rent pay.
ments of $50 are equivalent to the
expenditure of $S,S02 .93 in 10 years.
of $14, 10000 in Is years, and $23.
1861 in 20-yar period.
"Such a sum, invested in real
estate, would purchase a far bet
ter house than could be rented for
twice. as much as $50 a month.
The man who is debating whether
or not to purchase his own home
Is really asking the question. who
shall benefit by the interest my
money earns?'
IF he decides to retain this
benefit for himself he will auto
matically obtain over a period of
years that other benefit. which
consists of increase in the value
of his property. In a city such
as New York, where growth in
real estate values is consistent year
by year, the average home-owner
finds that by the time he has paid
for his property his land has at
least doubled in value.
