Journal nor ef ;.. onnortunlty a boon dents and she will boom The . with triii Boone snlrlt. That forts will be crowned with success is a foregone conclusion with herself and friends. Miss Boone has been attending the J"nv1s rind Arleta schools and grad uated from the latter. Her father, . William O- Boone, Is a dentist In the Abington building. On account of his profession he has a "pull" with a great many people. Dr. Boone Is a popular : member of the Masonlo order and the firotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Jvllsa Boonev is an" adherent of the Meth odist church of which Rev. Mr. Bryant -1b pastor. Miss Boone is out for vic tory. She wants what she wants when she wants It. When a girl wants that - the can generally get it if there are . not too many other clever girls after the same: prize. But as many other aspiring students want the same thing, i. e., the choice of Journal scholarships there' will be a hot , contest between these determined .young ladles. At this stage or this ex citing contest it's pretty difficult That this city Is soon to live In broader metropolitan surroundings than It has In the past la reflected In the changed demand that la being mads for living apartment. The modern flat with every latest device for the comfort and convenience of the occupants la the clnfs of property for which there Is the greatest request. Scores of these build ings have been put up In the past two years, only to ho rilled with tenants as fast as completed and many of them are now In the course of construction, rlats Spreading Ont. As long ago as five years, there were s very few of this class or buildings In Portland and those for the most part were close to the business center and on property which has become fur too valu able to oe encumnereii oy nuiiaings yielding so small an Income. Today the two and four apartment flats are to be found In nil parts or the city except In the farthest removed sub urban residence sections, and they are by odds the most popular of dwelling house with renters. It is probobly no exaggeration to say that 100 flats are under construction on the west side, while the whole central east side district Is rapidly filling hi with them. South Fdrtlend Constructs Many. South Portland is Just now the center of flat and apartment house comsirm tlon. In the vicinity of Grant an Tiiird streets there are no less than a doien four-series flats under construc tion, while farther west on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets, from Hall to Gsunt streets, every block has one or more of this class of buildings going up. The same condition prevails In what Is known as Nob Hill from Hixtennth street west to Twenty-fourth street. The reason for the extensive building of flats Is readily understood when it Is known that a much larger profit on the Investment can be derived than is to be secured from covering the same space with separate dwelling houses. A four-series flat, each department con taining five rooms, can be built on a 60-foot lot. Such a building will cost now about $6,000 and will bring In a monthly rental of 1120, while It is im possible to put more than three resi dences on an ordinary building hit that can be rented for more than $25 each, and It Is doubtful If the three houses can be put up for less than $7,fr00. With a difference of nearly $700 a year in favor of flat construction on an invest ment of approximately $11,000 It Is safe to predict a large Increase in the num ber of new flats with the next year.

Tbe hnnm Is ex pected to bring sbout a srnrai revlal of bus! sees la tbe country." That there is no structural material used today that is strictly fireproof is the conclusion reached by EL W. Lastll, a prominent New York chemist, who, tn a recent article published In the Cement y . so-called lthstand the fierce heat of a modern conflagration. The word flreprooflng as generally used is a misnomer, as few buildings will stand the action of intense heat for any length of time. There Is a popular but erroneous impression that several of the hiaterlals used in modern house building, such as steel. Iron, concrete and the clay products will come out of nre practically uninjured; nut me xact is that not one of these will resist fire better than granite or ordinary brick unless used understandlngly. Get tbe Best. "The best that can be done Is to se cure what is in the highest degree fire- resisting, says Mr. L-axell in the ce ment Age. "This distinction Is more Important than may appear at first thought, for it niuana that to achieve the highest economy we must provide ror a mini mum expense in the matter of . repairs as well ns structural security from the fire-resisting standpoint. For example. steel, marble and granite are non-combustible In the ordinary sense, but a bulldlnsr eomtiosed of these materials exclusively would fare sadly in case of nre It would soon De Deyona repair If not a total loss. On the other hand. If the steel frame of sucn a building were Drotected bv good fire-resisting materials, the steel would be preserved and the loss on the building by fire greatly reduced. This suggests at once the value of slow heat penetration noil on hit resistance. "The fire-res stlne material used should be such that It will not expose thu steel by unequal contraction and ex pansion. Often consiaeranie damage is done to the fire-resisting material by drenching It with cold water while it 1b hot. Thus the ability or tne material o withstand the action of water when hot without l;reaklng away from the steel Is important. What Fire-flteeUtaaoo Means. "A fire-resisting material should nossess the following properties: It should be capable of resisting the ac tion of Are In a high degree. It should possess a low thermal conductivity. It should be sble when hot to withstand the action of water without breaking, or disintegrating. It should represent economy in construction. Its utility shoilJ inriu.le adaptability to the struc tural parti of th building as well as the flrei rooting. It should be a material whote surface could be easily and chearlv restored after a fire. Its ex pansion should be such that It will not lav the Iron members of the frame exposed. In looking over the list of the so-cslled flreprooflng materials It would seem that concrete most nearly meets the nbovp requirements. "There hsve been countless Instances whei walla of brtrk and stone, set. as so ninny units In mortar, have gone to pieces under stress of fire. Columns of Iron and steel have buckled and col lAPd. So-called fireproof coverings, excellent material in themselves Judged from a r.on-cnmbustlble standpoint have exnar.dei. broken and fallen away, ex posing the metal framework to the de strvirtlve Influence of fire "Where these things occur the resto ration or Hi Duiiuwi i m c,eu,iT tnu nnotiodlly necessitates a new struc- I tura Wkat Concrete Will so. Concrete Is an excellent fire-reslstlng material In Itself, and if properly pro portioned and placed will not leave the steel .epoed Furthermore It Is economlraliy and easily applied. "Vpon the application of wster when the material Is hot, some surface dis integration takes place, but owtng to its low thermal conductivity this dlslnte grstlon applies only to the surface. The en:rfae can also be restored at a com- psrstlveiy small cost. Therefore, every- tr.ing ronsioerea concrete would seem to be of the most practical economical end Indestructible fireprooflDg materials Its use. however, should be supple mented with fire-resisting doors, window openings, wired glass and such materi als as will tend to for.flne a (Ire to the room In which It may start, or to save CHAPIN RESIDENCE WILL BE ONE OF FINEST IN THE CITY Plans !are under way and will soon be finished by Architect Wrenn for the new $15,000 residence for II.

Mr. Scharn weber Is an authority on ventilation having given much thought to the sub- tant and ioa tin t n 1 1, i uvaMil valttohl appliances for securing good ventilation. He condemned tne ran and oped grate systems of ventilation.

At the conclusion of the lecture a vote of thanks was tendered the lecturer for his entertaining and Instructive talk.

Edward Holman, who already owns three large apartment houses In the vicinity of Third and Mill streets, has commissioned Architects Whldden Sc Lewis to prepare plans for another structure or this class to be erected on Mill between Second and Third streets. The building Is to be for the occupancy of working women only, who cannot afford to pay the high rentals demand ed for apartments In other districts, and will be either four or five stories high. It will cover a 60 by 100-foot lot. of brick construction and will cost $40,000. Mr. Holman says that he Intends equip ping the building with every modern convenience and will give the occu pants the same character of service that Is to be had In apartments that command much higher rentals.
