Cracks In Plaster.
Question: Will you please ad-
wise me what to use to keep walls
from cracking? These cracks ap-
pear at the point where walls and
ceiling join. Two years ago the
corners were plastered but now
they have opened again. Some
body suggested mixing a little
cement in the plaster. Would you
advise this?
Answer: Evidently the lath
was not overlapped or reinforced
at the corners of the walls and
ceiling. You will have to cut
away from 6-inch wide strip of
plaster from each side of the
corner. then nail in place what
is described In the trade as a

Is then replastered. II corner

Insulating an Attic Floor.
Question: ! have an open un-
floored attic to insulate. Have
heard q great deal about loose
insulation that is poured in. Is
this used as a convenience?
Wouldn't bait with vapor barrier
be better? Would they be worth
the added expense and labor?
Answer: If the loose insulation
you have In mind is vermiculite
(expanded mica) or the pourable
rockWool, it can be used salts
factorily and would advise first
putting down a vaporproof paper
and then pouring the insulation
over it. 1t will be necessary to
level off the insulating material
in order to obtain a uniform
thickness. The advantage of us
ing q bait is that the material
comes in a specific thickness
and the vaporproof paper is part
of the bait. AS to the insulating
value, the same results should be
obtained with either type.

such buildings have remained
boarded up, breeding places Of

than remove single eyesores,
however. Their elimination will

builders have several pilot prof.
ects under way outside alleys to
rebuild old rundown homes.
Public housing "A primary
need for public housing is to

modern construction techniques,
and rejecting the character Of
today's family living. ~
Top residential builders are
working with our best architects
to create contemporary houses,
beautiful In line and form and
function in place of the in
congruous forms Of the past,
congruous forms of the past,
selected through the vague
and personal whilns Of the
average builder. They are work
ing toward q new architectural
style without regard for obsolete
forms Of architecture which,
while providing a sound basis for
inspiration. cannot be expected
to fill the needs of 1854.
Today's progressive builder
and his architect are working
toward an architectural style In
which Imitation" is replaced
with the beauty Of natural and
manufactured materials an d
products. A high quality of
materials and construction,
unique in houses built only a
few years ago, is usual in today's
homes. and within the next 10
years wiil become commonplace.
The beauty of natural sur
faces. machine-p polished mate
rials. new colors, large weather.
tight windows. all of which really
integrate out-of doors and the
indoors to give the home owner
q satisfactory relationship to
sunshine and nature are the con-
tinuing goals Of the home
builder.
Modern construction tech
niques many developed in the
postwar period-are used by eff
cient builders. not because they
are new or novel but because in
the half-industralized half -han-
dicraft home building industry
they represent methods of doing
a better job-a better job at q
lower cost with savings that can
be passed on to the consumer in
terms Of amenities or living
space or even plain dollar saving.
Slab-on-grade floor construc-
ton exterior walls assembled
horizontally and tilted into place,
roof trusses. cavity masonry ex-
terror walls, interior storage
walls. plumbing walls. are just q
few examples of modern building
techniques used to help produce
better houses.
But these cost-reducing meth
ods are not enough. Today's
builder, through his National
Association Of Home Builders Re-
search Institute. Is working to-
