CRACKS IN WALL
ARE SIGNIFICANT

To a prospective home owner a
crack in the wall or ceiling plaster
is no more than an unsightly con-
dition, but TO a residential apprais-
er 1t has far deeper significance.
Structural deficiencies. which
WELD considerable influence in
appraisals, are frequently disclosed
when the causes of cracks are
traced. Patching cracks in plaster
and masonry is a simple and mex
pensive process. but If A struc-
/ tural weakness exists the repair
will be only temporary.
Most cracks IN the Vas OF resi-
dental buildings are caused by the
unequal settlement Of poorly de-
signed or poorly built foundations.
Builders OF homes to be offered as
security for FILA insured mort
cages arc reminded that loads
placed on the soil rest on Yield
ing material and that. therefore.
every building must settle Design
ers are warned to exercise care
that the areas of the several foun-
dations are properly proportioned
TO the loads. Settlement then Will
be even and equal throughout the
structure.
Among other common causes Of
wall cracks is improper framing.
Undesirable reflections Will occur
unless proper framing is placed
around floor openings Cracks
which appear TO expand at certain
times OF the year and close at
Others throw suspicion on the Chin
ney location. Furnace heat length

fire hazard has also been intro
duced into the home.
Ceiling cracks are generally
traceable 10 joists which are not
deep enough for the span and load.
spaced too far apart, or made Of
poorly selected weak timber. An
excessive load on particular beam
will cause short ceiling crack.
Plaster cracks are often the key
10 faulty construction. and II Is
believed that with one exception
cracks are caused by forces outside
the plaster. The one exception
occurs when the pIasterer fails IN

ficient plaster Of paris and the
lime shnnks. with the map crack

cracks are readily detachable and

Try Find
 Weak Spot In Seiggfried Line

UNDATED, Sept. 25 (H)- The western front sprang to new life as a major accompaniment to the German conflict, Britain and France on the sea and in the air and French troops struck the German positions in the Haardt Mountains trying to find weak spot in the Seigfried Line. Ger man and French artillery ex- changed shells across the line.
 Swiss reports declared that British or French warplanes were put out of commission in a raid last night on one of Ger many's main airp3ane motor fac tories at Friedrichshafen. The German high command denied that such q raid had taken place
 A German communique said a British destroyer was sunk and eight French planes downed.
 Norwegians on Algroi Island expressed the belief that a naval engagement was under way in the Atlantic where heavy cannon ading was heard from unidenti- fled vessels.
 Britain'S Information Ministry announced that only propaganda leaflets were carried on raids in to Germany,
 French military dispatches said heavy artillery started bomb ardment of the main fortifica- tions of GreInany's Seigfried Line. Part of the communique said activity by-enemy artillery" southeast of SWeibruecken put the war in a more bitter phase.
 On the eastern front, Warsaw remained in Polish hands but the capital radio station said that more than a thousand civilians were killed by new German bombardment.
