NEW PROCEDURE IN
use ON MENDENHALL
APT. CONCRETE WORK

For the first time in building
of its style, slip forms are being
used in the pouring of concrete or
the Mendenhall Apartment building
at the corner of Fourth and Frank
lin, according to A. K Eskestrand
superintendent for Anderson Con-
struction Co.
slip forms have been used for
over 20 years on silos and grain
elevators where floor slabs anc
windows are not present." Eske-
strand said
So that walls may be laid, keys
for tying in the floors are recessed
and the slip form dowl is hooked
into the key way. After the slip
form passes the recessed key, thu
key is Strengthened and the floor
is then poured before the form is
moved up further.
The slip form was started at the
completion of the walls for the first
story and the second story floor.
Thus continual pouring is possible
without delay.
The slip form is hooked by means
of screw jacks on the reinforcing
steel used in the walls. Five feet
of concrete can be poured in an
eight hour shift. One full turn OF
the jacks raises the forms one-half
an inch. The lacking crew follows
after the concrete pouring crew.
lacking or moving the five foot
slip form upward comedies with the
rate of pouring.
The concrete finishers, working
on a scaffold suspended from the
slip form yoke, have already started
work with the first floor concrete
to be finished at the conclusion OF
the job
Concrete is poured in layers of
eight inches with the form raised
another eight inches during the
pouring. The pouring of the floors
follows right after the slip form has
come Just above each flor.
Pouring of the floors is from the
slip form deck at the rate of one
floor a week In other words, it
will take a total of IL weeks to
pour the floors of the 12-storied
building with two floors already
poured. The roof will be topped
off some time in November

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby


The Latin stem spiro ito blow
gently; to breathe" forms several
familiar words. the literal mean
ings of which are surprising.
For example, He sighed and ex-
pired literally means, He sighed
and breathed out. Expire has been
used euphemiSticaly for die for
so long a time that the precise
meaning, Ito breathe out, has been
almost forgotten.
An inspiration. strictly speaking.
is q drawing in Of the breath. Its
use to designate the awakening OF
a mental impulse probably was sug-
gested by the term divine afflatus. 3"
meaning "divinely impaired knowl-
edge" Afflatus means Ito breathe
or blow upon"
Respiration means TO breathe in
and out" as we all know. But
what Of aspiration? Does the word
designate sort Of lofty ambition?
Yes, f1guratively; but its exact
meaning is TO breathe or blow on. I"
Suspiration. "the act of breath
ing under" has literally the same
meaning as expiration. Ito breathe
out; to sigh"
Perspiration has the amazing lit
eral meaning of ''act Of breathing
everywhere" Only in a figurative
sense does perspiration mean
sweat"
But the true meaning of trans
pire is the greatest surprise Of all,
Hold tight, now. Transpire ac-
tually means ITO breathe through" "
And its primary modern meaning
is ito excrete through the skin; to
perspire." This has given rise to
the extended figurative meaning of
ito leak out" hence, Ito become
known"
TranSpire, in the meaning Of Ito
happen; to occur" is frowned upon
by most authorities, as The event
transpired on Main Street This
misuse is the result of wrongly in
terpreting such sentences as,
News Of the event tranSpired
came to public knowledge yester-
day."
The word conspirators suggests a
group of whispering plotters with
their heads so close together that
they breathe in each others faces
Yes. you're right-conspire means
Ito breathe together"
ASpirants to public office have
always been diligent buttonholers
and observation-disclosures as they
emphasize their peculiar fitness for
the elective position. Well, an as
pirant Is one VIII. aSpires-who
breatheS or blows on.
Now, the real essence of all these
words is found in the word spirit,
the literal meaning of which is
the breath of life 1t comes di-
rectly from the Latin spiratus,
breathing" from our original Latin
stem spiro, Ito breathe or blow
gently"
And, because the deceased is
said to have "breathed his last
(breath)," the term. he has ex-
pired," is often used. In other
words, his spirit (breath of life)
has left his body in an expiration
exactly like sigh.

BY the Associated Press

VERO BEACH, Fla. Mar. 15.-
It seems the baseball umpire is
here to stay. At least the latest
electronic gadget built to call balls
and strikes at home plate isn't a
threat to replace him.
A robot umpire operating with
electric eyes, mirrors and other
gadgets was tested at the Brook
lyn Dodger training camp here
yesterday. but the results were not
breathtaking.
Pee Wee Reese, Dodger captain,
was on the verge of indignation
on one occasion when the con-
traption called strike" on pitch
that was several inches below his
knees.
Il guess you can see that we're
not so bad after ALL said Um-
pire Bill Stewart, who was among
the interested spectators. How
ever. the engineer who built the
machine for Branch Hickey of the
Dodgers indicated there are ad-
justments which can be made to
improve its accuracy.
That is unimportant in any
case. Hickey indicated, as he had
the thing built for use in training
and to make pitchers and batters
more conscious of the strike zone.
