THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1927 hah 8 HOW TO BUILD'YOUR "HOME WALLS RIGHT Outside walls of solid masonry are sometimes built with air spaces in them as in the tile wall. Or the solid brick wall may have these spaces included. There are various Ways to do this so that cold and moisture will not pene- trate. When these air-spaces do not exist in the wall itself, it is necessary for us to devise an air space between the plaster and the wall. We do this by putting strips agaipst the masonry and nailing the lath to these, Plaster is then applied. - Such a wall will he warm and dry. If. it is built of good materials and good workmen are em- ployed, it will last' a long time and will not give you any trouble. De- preciation will be low. Building a Masonry Wall Think of brick "and tile walls as a multitude of small blocks piled one upon the other. If the blocks overlap each other properly you have greater strength. Bonding 1s the name we give to this overlapping. It must go hack into the wall as well as along the face of it. That is one of the first principles of masonry wall building. If the mason does not forget that the square and plumb are his important instruments you will have another principle well observed, and then if the blocks are cemented together with a mortar, generously made and skil- fully applied you will have durability and strength. But one thing more. The block it- self-----what about that A well burned clay unit, he it tile or brick, is some- thing like a mass of impure glass [It has temper as far from that of a poorly burned product as Damascus steel is from pot metal. The better the temper the stronger it will he. Masonry Wall 3,000 Years Old The old Babylonian kings turned out tiles and bricks, some of which have resisted the onslaught of 30 centuries, but we can do a better job of brick making today for we have learned the secret of it. You don't have to build your walls of pot metal bricks and tiles for there is plenty of the sound ma- terial. We have. come a long way in the building of walls since the cave man first learned to daub mud around reeds and the branches of trees. He built a temporary wall. When it rained it probably did not trouble him much to have a thin trickle of mud insinuating itself down his spinal column. Tight walls and roof did not mean much to him. Since that day we have learned how to build many kinds of walls-- stone, brick, wood, tile, concrete--and we have learned that every one of them must be built with understanding to get the protection our dollars are intended to buy. Tt is easy to think of a stone wall as the strongest wall that can he built, but this is not neces sarily true. Everything depends on the stone and the workmanship, just as it does with other materials used mn wall building. Do you remember how some great English sea fighter spoke of the "wooden walls of England"? He was telling about sea power--the protection of the "tight little island," and the em phasis was not on wood but on walls, Build your walls soundly, whatever material vou use, to protect your own tight little island. This is the last of three articles ap- nearing in this column on "How to Build Walls." * J.

This dignified modern residence i | designed primarily for the professional man who practices from his home. To | he a successful solution to the problem before the architect, it is required that while the two parts of the house must be directly connected, there must be no possibility of clashes between the two functions which the building ac commodates, That this has been well accomplished is readily evident from a study of the plans. The matter of communication 15 provided for by a single doorway between the office and hall, and which rather inconspicuously placed as it is, is not likely to be inadvertently opened by the casual guest. As this is the only connection hetween the profes- sional, and residential rooms, it will be obvious that with the provision of an entrance from the verandah, the privacy of the home is assvred. Entering through this door, the pa tient, or client, would find a good size waiting room, with a corner fireplace, cupboard, and bookshelves, and having a door giving direct to the office. The home-comer, however, would enter through the front vestibulte into a square hall, at the sides of which, glazed doors open into the dining room and living room. A bay window with opening box seats, birch floor, and a fireplace with a brick hearth, are items which give the living room its distine- tion. The second floor extends over only about one-half the ground floor area but nevertheless provides three bed access 1ooms, a bathroom with separate toilet, and an abundance of clothes, and linen closets. Erected with frame walls, and a hot water heating system, this dwelling cost slightly less than $6,000. Readers desiring further information regarding the plans and specifications of this house should communicate with the architect direct. Address Mr. E S. Blanchard, B. Arch., Charlottetown, PEL.

Peter Heenan, Minister of Labor. All Danger Over "I am now in a position to state that a basis of settlement has been arrived at, and all danger of a strike is past," Mr. Heenan stated when wterviewed at his home today. The dispute between the em- ployees and the railway management volved 1reight handlers, clerks and checkers. It has been of long standing and concerned wage and working conditions schedules. The workers accepted 2 iour-cent- ap-hour jncrease in wages recowm- mended by a Conciliation Board, but the award was not acceptable to the Canadian National management. Negotiations followed, and the com- pany compromised, offering general increases of two and a half cents an hour. This the men refused, and a strike vote, which a few days ago F.W., C.

Ottawa Actively Engaged Throughout the negotiations the Federal Department of Labor has been actively engaged in efforts to bring abou! a settlement. In the interview today Mr. Heen- an stated that he had been in close touch with representatives of the men and company and had made sugegstion with a view to getting them together.
