OF IT WALLS I
Problem Chiefly One of How
to Mix and Apply T
Mortar to Bricks -
By Ij. B. VEST
ET walls are the least of my
worries and, believe . me
rd hear about . them II
any of my bouses bad tbem.. The
people wbo bay my houses would
soon ring me up, day or night, If
water eominn' through. If you
build 'em right, they won't leak.
" MJuatier wnai Kind 01 brier you
1 ills was Auu; sniwtr. io 1117
tlon what is the cause of
damp walls )n a brick house. My
next question was well, - you're
eo cocky about it, how do you
build them so they are "right?
And what be told me Is worth
passing along, although there Is
no secret about It and a little
common sense thinking would
andproduce the same answer.
let's put down a few essentials
and recall a few important things
that we all ought to know and
keep fa mind but we all don't.
I am repeating Andy, as nearly
as I can recall his words.
Water Does Not Penetrate
Now get It straight, the water
don't come through the brick. It-
can't, but it don't hare to. If
other places are easier to get
through, and often they are. Just
consider the mortar Joints for, at
moment, although they are not
only offenders.
Pure " cement mortar is all
right, but if you mix a little hy
draed lime or lime putty with
it, it makes it smoother and the
jrkman don't have so much
trniiMa In filling V U.t. .
rVhe isn't so apt to get tired and
..ig-m eome 01 me worn. fni
about 10-15 per cent Ume with
your 1-3 cement mortar, or go to
a straight 1-1-6 cement-lime mor
tar and you'll gain in workability
what you may lose In mortar
strength which is plenty strong
in any case. But don't expect
a "skinny" mortar to do the Job.
One part cement and seven or
eight parts sand Isn't mortar, any
more than a litle cement and a
lot of rock and sand is concrete.
You can't make a good warm
overcoat out of shoddy cloth.
'I'm not talking about that kind
of mortar. "
How To Apply Mortar
Now, haying some good work
able mortar, put It into the wall
around the bricks, not Just a lit
tle on the front edge. Lay the
brick in a full bed of smoothed
(not grooTed) mortar and butter
the end Joints enough to fill'
each outside vertical joint at
least half way back from the face
all the way back is much bet-
tf-And don't fit closers in so
got that you can't get any mor
tar in the rertlcal Joins. Chip
them down to a size a little smal-
than the space they .go in and
get some mortar around them.
1 ve found closers the causer of
trouble more than once. .And
usually because they were fitted
so tight that the Job was finished
by striking the outside of the
Joint so It would look like some
mortar . was in there.
And, speaking of striking
joints, It's always safer to strike
all Joints If you want to be sure.
It doesn't take much time, nor
cost much, and a weather struck
joint makes It hard for the water
to even start its Journey through
the wall.
If you fill the Joints of the out
er wythe of eren a 4-lnch waH,
water can't get through, though
frost may. If the outer Joints
of an t-lneh or thicker wall are
full of good mortar, you can go
home and forget It as , far as
water getting through goes.

That a good understanding
better qualifies a person for a
klace in society was pointed out
by H. F. Durham, principal of the
Parrish Junior high school, who
spoke at the luncheon meeting
of the Lions club in -the school
building Friday. The advance
tn educational methods and
equipment was pointed out by Mr.
Durham In the course of his talk
in connection with National Ed
ucation week. The trend toward
growth in ethical character was
cited by the speaker.
The average salary for teachers
40 years ago was $20 a month as
compared with $1295 for the
whle school year as paid now.
Besides receiving more for their
services, it waa pointed out that
the teachers are working under
much better conditions in the
modern schools. While few of the
teachers in the 1880's bad more
than a high school education
many now have several years of
college training In addition to the
normal school course.
School attendance has increased
17 per cent la the last 40 years
from 62 per cent to 79 per cent
oft the children of Junior high age.
The length of the teaching term
has increased 38 days until It is
now 168 days a year. The av
erage attendance has more 'than
doubled to reach 109 days at the
present time. ,
The luncheon was served under
the direction of Mrs. Creech, di
rector of the domestic science de
partment by: i girls taking the
. . s a a a.
course, in connection wun me
tasty luncheon, Delbert Jenson
gave a violin solo and Helen Ben

Dr. Caldwell did not approve of

You'd be surprised
ll
how little BRICK costs"
J yj FTER we'd reached the point
where we were discussing the
kind of house we would build, my wife said: 'Of
course I'd rather have brick who wouldn't if you
think we can afford it.' I laughed, for I'd been doing
settle investigating and discovered we couldn't afford
NOT to build with brick."
That's getting to be a common experience. People
who haven't known much about brick construction are
amazed at its economy when the lifetime cost is con
sidered. And with this economy they get the advantages of
beauty, permanence, protection and distinction which
brick walls give to any home.
j t
Have you noticed the increasing proportion of brick
homes you see in driving about this city?. It shows
a trend that is significant.
If you are planning to build
a new home or buy one, it
w31 pay you to consider the
advantages of brick.
