TINTED CONCRETE
NOW ECONOMICAL
Process Becomes More
Practical Through
Development.

Color in concrete, once painstak-
ingly created by studio craftsmen, now
81 out Of the smock and mall stick
stage as a practical, economical work
shop product, according to c. G..
Walker, assistant secretary of the Cast
Stone Institute.
Permanent color effects now may be
an economical part of architectural
design; color effects may be built into
moderate cost, firesafe homes. These
results have been achieved by combin-
ing the ancient mosaic art with new
technique in which crushed vitreous
and ceramic materials in a wide va
riety of colors are used for concrete
aggregate in place of the ordinary
sand and gravel. After the concrete
has hardened the surface IS washed
with acid, revealing the beautiful i'm
pervious colors of the aggregate in any
desired pattern.
Now color, which Dr. Matt Luckiesh,
director of Lighting Research Of the
General Electric Co., has called the
music of light, may take veritable
symphony of city skyline, as new
rainbow facades replace drab walls.
One example Of this trend in buildings
is the WCAU Building in Philadelphia,
the colorful walls of which rise to
challenge the blue Of the sky. The
color scheme of the exterior walls of
this building was worked out by John
j. Farley of Washington, who calls it
the biggest single spot of blue In the
world"
Example of Work Here.
In Washington is another example
of Earley's work where the somber dig
nifty of the new Department of Justice
Building is ivened with ceilings woven
in patterns Of crimson, blue and black
concrete on a sparkling background of
white.
In addition. examples are shown OF
the work of Lee Lawrie, as sculptor on
the Wichita Art Institute, designed by
Clarence E. Stein. Cast in concrete,
their conception frames the main en-
trance of the New Institute Building
with a series Of panels depicting the
American Indian arts. In this work
color treatment was applied as paint
after erection of the cast stone.
Combining color with new me-
chanics, Massena and Du Pont execute
the NemourS Carlton Tower in pink
and gray and revolutionize construc-
tion methods by substituting the orna-
mental and colorful cast stone ex-
terror for outside concrete forms. This
economical new forming system is
demonstrated in a small scale wall.
Old Art Recreated.
Recreating an old art, Miklos Gas
par, creator of murals In inlaid woods
and fresco painting, has shown how
ancient Roman sgraff1to may be made
practical for modern building. Several
precast panels Of his sgrafito are on
exhibit. The appealing simplicity of
the result, obtained with only two
tones, is stratling.
Other methods of dressing up con-
crete which have been used effectively
include simple tooling of polished con-
crete and metalized surfaces wherein
molten metal is sprayed over the con-
crete. When FURNISHED, a new warmth
Is given metallic finish and the process
has been shown to be adaptable to
practically any metal.

Consider POrQu,
Pound Orphan,
For Pet

"Porgy" is an orphan dog down
at the District Pound, but he is
far too nice to remain in the con-
filming walls of that institution.
Only a puppy about 3 months
old is "Porgy." He has no pedi-
gree to offer you. He boasts only
Of being part collie, but he does
have intelligence and gentleness.
He is quite attractive, too, brown
and white in color. Perhaps you
can train him to become a good
watchdog and just the pet you
have always desired. Look him
over at the Pound, South Capitol
and Streets.
The pet editor of The Times
will assist in finding homes for
pets through this column.
