= are waiting until spring to get
started, for the cold season is no
time for mixing cement in general.
The danger Of freezing is always pres
ent.
There are, however, occasions when
you cannot postpone the work, either
because Of accident or press of circum-
stances. If you must have new brick

take heart. 1t is harder to do it in
cold weather than in warm, but it is
not impossible
Various anti-freezing aids have been
developed to keep the mixture, whether
cement, mortar. Portland cement,
plaster or concrete from freezing dur
ing its setting. The use of salaman-
ders, or stoves which hasten the set
ting process; the use of canvas covers
to keep out the frost and the heating
of materials as they are needed all
help. But probably the greatest aid is
a chemical solution which Is added to
the mix and which, of itself, prevents
freezing.
The chemical Is not expensive and
the quantity used varies with the tenn
perature. If the thermometer regis
ters 81 degrees, you have to add q GAL
lon Of the chemical solution to every
IS gallons Of gauging water. At 80 de-
grees, you need gallon to every IL
of water; at % degrees, l to every 9;
at "a degrees, to every g. When the
thermometer hits 20 degrees. you have
to give up. for no adding of chemicals
to water will prevent freezing. Then
you must resort to tarpaulin and sala-
manders and raise the temperature
itself. In fact. when it is this cold
men are apt not to work at all. The
temperatures given are the minimum
expected temperatures during the night
following the use Of the material.
The local United States Weather Bu-
reau can always supply such forecasts.
Besides preventing freezing. the
chemical does another thing-it accel-
crates the set Of the cement, 50 that be-

his stuff the hardening process has

not cause an improper set nor, in the
case of concrete work, affect the metal

The cost Of this material is low and
the amount used depends upon many
factors-size and thickness of base
ment walls and floors for which it is
used, the mix of concrete in relation
to the amount of cement and aggre-
gate used in the mix. the daily tenn

M|SHAPS SERIOUS
BUILDING PROBLEM
Architects institute Group
Developing New Code
for Safety.

Accidents are still serious problem
In the construction industry despite
the decline in building operations, ac-
cording to Samuel r. Bishop Of the
American Institute of Architects,
chairman Of . committee which Is de-
veloping = new safety code for the
industry. The slump In construction
has been accompanied by . decrease in
casualties, which, however, remain
relatively as numerous and costly -
before, says 4 report by Mr.. Bishop
issued by the institute.
Compensation insurance premiums
have been steadily going up until now
in some branches OF the industry they
equal all other items OF overhead" the
report discloses. "A careful analysis
OF the available statistical records of
one State shows that during the 10
years prior to 1885 there were lo8, 900
accidents in the industry. Included in
the total were 1909 deaths, 80 perma-
nent disabilities and 900 partial disa-
bilities. The frequency rate of the in
dustry, based on 100000 Of pay roll,
has increased from 1918 in 1926 to
1912 In 1884.
100000 Work Days Lost.
This number OF accidents In days
OF work lost amounted to almost l2,-
100000. II an arbitrary figure Of IS
per person were allotted to each day
lost. 1t would show the sum OF $780,
000, 900 added to the cost of building
construction. No estimate was made
OF the indirect cost, but the record
stands as an indictment against the
construction industry for its failure to
recognize the losses which are yearly
making construction costs higher"
Mr.. Bishop reported that real prog
ress' was being made by the committee
representing 10 organizations afiiliated
with the building industry which is pre-
pairing the new code.
There Is urgent need for a safety
code which will be complete" the
report explains. None OF the many
unrelated codes now in print covers
all phases Of safety necessary for the
protection Of workmen or the public.
1t Is the purpose Of the committee
TO produce a code that will be all
inclusive. providing rules for erection
and maintenance Of safety devices
and equipment, and regulations gov
erning the conduct of workmen in all
amliated branches of the industry: q
code which can be accepted as q
