| Skyscropers

| Bomb Shelters

Skyscrapers are likely to be safer
in case of bombing attacks than the
lower buildings alongside them, Will
liam Orr Ludlow of Madison, N. j.,
architect, says in a report to the
American Institute of Architects.
The nature of the construction Of
high buildings should dispel "unnec-
essary fears and misapprehensions, "
according to Mr.. Ludlow, who de-
signed the Chase Tower at 10 East
Fortieth street, New York City, and
the Johns Manville building at %
East Fortieth street, and was one
of the architects of the New York
Times building at 229 West Forty
third street.
Half a dozen columns could be
wrecked In the Empire State build
ing and still the structure would
be far from collapse, Mr.. Ludlow
declares. Other factors favoring the
skyscraper are that an entire story
of a steel skeleton building can be
burnt out without damage to any
other story, and that an outside wall
of one story can be knocked out
without injury to the walls above or
below.

Keep Doors Protected
Until They Are Hung

If troublesome doors are to be
avoided, they should be protected
from moisture until they are in
place. They should not be allowed
to stand out in the open after being
delivered on the job nor, on the
other hand, should they be brought
into the house until the plaster has
dried. The top and bottom edges
should receive two coats of paint
as they are hung. This prevents,
to a large extent, absorption of
moisture that otherwise will cause
swelling and binding. Veneered
doors are not adapted to places
where they will be entirely exposed
to the weather.
