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.

tory. She wants what she wants when
she wants It. When a girl wants that

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

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.

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
