w YE ARE sure many home
M owners must share the
v " emotions of that eminent
citizen of the comics, Cas-
par Milquetoast, after he heard his
first lecture on termites. He visioned
his house crumbling away before his
very eyes, remember? You just can't
hear about termites without being
shocked, so great is the damage these
tiny destroyers can do, and so stealthily
do they work.
Yet within the last two weeks heart
enlng items have come to our atten-
ton in regard to the so-called white
ants who feed on cellulose. Both have
to do with the treatment of wood to
prevent the entrance of the hungry
insects.
The first is bulletin prepared by
large manufacturer on The Building
Bogies, Termites and Rot" which sets
forth the ways in which wise builder
OF new home can save himself future
trouble at cost of only 2 per cent of
the price of his house In brief, it is
by impregnating the wood which is
used in all vulnerable parts of a new
house with chromated zinc chloride.
1t can be done at one of many treating
plants and makes the lumber last from
three to ten times as long as un-
treated lumber.
The second cheering news is of
another combination of chemicals
which also is iinpregnated in new lum-
Der, but can be applied to the strategic
parts Of an already-built house with a
brush. This means all hope of saving
houses unfortunate enough to be built
with untreated woods is not dead-a
fact which home owners everywhere
will be mighty glad to hear.
OF course, if you can start from
scratch, it is better to treat the wood
before you build it into the structure.
But most of us are not starting from
scratch, and for us it is a good invest
ment to apply the liquid made with
chromated copper sulphate base to

heard the divergent views of legisla-

business men on the outlook for build
ing and its allied field, the building

Physical demonstration of what the
lumber industry can do toward pro-
noting low-cost housing was given
the delegates in three experimental
projects in suburbs adjacent to the
Capital City-one of them sponsored
by the National Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association and the other two
fostered by the Red Cedar Shingle
bureau OF SedCtle, WASH.
Altogether IA homes have been
built here as demonstration of the
possibilities in this field, their costs
ranging from under $4,000 to $4,000.
They provide accommodations for
families ranging from two to seven
persons. The $4,000 homes were built
by the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau as
examples of the type of housing which
might be built under the terms of
