that permits you to dig your house
out Of your own backyard. And he
is getting ready to- build rammed-
earth garage to be attached to his
new home.
"I have long been an interested
admirer of earth construction" said
the Secretary in his introduction to
1.-THE Rammed-Earth House" by
Anthony F. Merrill.
To any one surprised that just
plain earth is a useful building ma
terial, Mr.. Anderson commented:
"Once you join the fraternity OF
earth builders and are bitten by
their bug, the surprising has an odd
way of becoming commonplace"
On request, Mr.. Anderson took
time out from heavy schedule to
tell about the house going up on his
Lazy v Cross Ranch" Plans were
drawn up in 1910 by Willard c.
Kruger of Santa Fe, VINO later was
architect for the atomic bomb lab
oratory at Los Alamos, N. Mex, the
cabinet member explained.
Form of Hollow Square.
The design provided for one
story house to be built in the form
of a hollow square, with a 40 by 60
foot patio In the center. Overall
dimensions we're to be "a by 80 feet.
Building was started in 1941 and
went along normally until the war
came along. Then there was long
delay, with the house partly I'm
ished.
Construction was resumed last
summer, Mr.. Anderson said, and to-
day the building has been completed
on two sides of the patio. Thus a
section is now available for the An
dersons' occupancy which includes a
library, living room, dining room,
breakfast room, pantry, kitchen,
service room, heater room, bedroom,
bath and lavatory. For the present,
however, the library is also used as
a bedroom during the time the
family spends in New Mexico in the
summer.
When the remainder is COM
pleted-which Mr.. Anderson says
probably will be when his term OF
Office expires and he returns to
New Mexico to live-the family will
have three additional bedrooms. two
more bathrooms, dressing room,
heater room and solarium.
Bricks Dried in Sun.
Adobe bricks are left to dry IN the
sun several weeks before building
begins, Mr.. Anderson said.
"Then it's better to let them dry
thoroughly before you plaster" he

to know If 1t is advisable to apply
shellac or polish on the wood to give
Iit q glossy finish.
Answer: I presume the pine has
no finish on 1t at present. II my
assumption is correct, clean the
surfaces with turpentine and steel
wool, then finish the wood with two
coats of white shellac, thinned hall
and half with denatured alcohol
Or you can finish with two coats OF
a penetrating wax which comes in
natural" and various wood colors
Preserving New Extension Ladder
Question: What is the best way ]
can preserve my new extension lad
der; oiling or painting? Or should ]
let it go the natural color of the
wood?
Answer: Give the ladder a liberal
coat of raw linseed oil and then
wipe of the excess. If you cannot
get the oil, use the best substitute
you can obtain. Repeat in few
days and continue as long as the
wood absorbs the oil. Repeat once
year. Spar varnish can be SUBJ
stituted for an oil, using two or
three coats. Each one should be
hard and dry before the next is
applied.
