Consolidated News Features, Inc.) mention wa Comfortable durable ana economical modern homes are rising literally out of the ground in many places these days. They are built of "rammed earth" The Reomans knew and used this construction process and Europe has long employed it for small houses and even churches, Only lately has serious study been given to it in thke United States. Journalist Selma Robâ€" inson describes the method and some of its modern uses in the current Roâ€" tarian magazine. Experiments in ramimed earth carried on by several institutions, notably South Dakota State College at Brookâ€" ings, prove its practicability. Hundreds cf soils have been tested to find most suitable types. In general, the earth used should be sandy,, not heavy with clay, and its moisture content is about right as it comes from the ground Ramming is usually done by hand, but researchers at Haskell Institute, Lawâ€" rence, Kansas, have devised a mechanâ€" ical rammer which presses.loose earth into 65 pound blocks. The U S. Deâ€" partment of Agriculture publishes bookilets for those interested in the subject. The technique is simple, Miss Robinâ€" scn points out. Into wooden forms lcose earth, of proper composition, is shovelled and then stampedâ€"or "ramâ€" med" to stony hardness with flatâ€"faced tampers. Allowance for all openings, conduits and joists must be made as the walls go up. That the walls last is evidenced by a rammedâ€"earth dwelling 166 years old in Washington, D. C., whose walls toâ€"day ars said to be strcnger than ever, Perhaps retarding the widespread promotion of rammedâ€"earth building, Miss®*Robinson finds, is, paradoxically, its relative cheapness, It tends to be less profitable than other methods for commercial builders and architects. HSavings in wall costs may run from 25 to 50 per cent over walls of brick or ecnerete, Interiors are usually conâ€" ventional design. Buildings Made of "Rammed Earth" in European Countries Rammedâ€"earth walls, says the writer are rotable for their insulating qualiâ€" ties against both heat and cold. They are fireproof, soundprocf, and almost sure protection against rodents, vermin and termites, They resist high winds. Exteriors may be stuccoed or painted with a protective coating. Yet with all ‘these advantages there are perhaps only 1,000 rammedâ€"earth buildings in the United States, Most of these are farm buildings. However, a number of attractive homes are now under construction or planned, and there are indications that use of the method will increase.

The accidents of early family hardships, the necessity for older memâ€" bers to quit school and engage in rough labor, associating with rude companoins and acqitiring inelegant habits; the later comers in the family, living under better conditions and acâ€" quiring more learning and polish ; such circumstances sometimes create embarrassing â€" sitvations which are quite understandable., In one such family there were sevâ€" eral boys, the older of whom were obâ€" liged to begin fending for themselves and their younger brothers and sisters at an early age, to the lumber woods and the railway construction camps Where they picked up habits, practices and expressions which were not particularly edifying. As time went on the position of the family was greatly improved largely through the efforts of one of the older brothers who had turned to prospecting and made a stake. He had generously eduâ€" cated the younger fry, even sending one of the boys to university. As time went on ithe prospecting brother experienced many ups and dowhs. He was a real worker, spendâ€" ing most of his time in some part of the hinterland, While he could hardâ€" ly spell his name he had a genuline flair for minerals and ‘sevreal times came very close to making a real forâ€" tune. After oneâ€" particularly â€" lean stretch, when he had been unable to make the grade to the city for several years, he made what looked like a ricn discovery." He hiked for Toronto and sent word to his college byoâ€" ther who quickly arrived and made a satisfactory firancial deal with city brokers for the properfiy.

Not daring‘ to call attention vocally to the social soleâ€" cism he adopted the expedient of tramping on the gorging brothers foot. The prospector looked at him but said nothing. He raised another knifeful of potatoes aloft and as he was about to down it the brother again glared and tramped on his foot, The prospector laid down ‘his tools and elared back, roaring in a voice that could be‘ heard around the room: "What the heck are you tramping on my foot for?
