Sfoew GAvinaiMHit ^ ~ ‘ gd ToOMLiti^ tioii Frdin'America Use And Abuse Of Wood In Building So many inquiries have been received by the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Was., about the proper methods of construct ing houses that a new publica tion entitled "Use and Abuse of Wood In House Construction." has just been issued by the For est Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Engineers at the Laboratory state that the build ing or buying of a home involve for the average person a large in vestment and one for which he should get good construction and full value for every dollar expend ed. To the man about to erect a home, building is an undertaking in which careful planning and consideration for features of en during worth will yield large re turns in the form of lasting satis faction. To find where guidance in the use of wood in current building -is particularly needed the Laboratory inspected 600 houses under construction in 20 cities in the Northern, Southern, and Eastern States. Good results in the use of wood in house construction rests first of all on good foundations. Settling walls and wood-rotting dampness in basements are the consequences of poor foundations. Block walls outnumber poured conciete in many cities. Proper footings, to prevent unequal set tlement, are important to each type, but particularly to block walls, and should be laid below the frost line. Poorly mortared joints, lack of drainage, and ab sence of exterior waterproofing result in leaking walls and wet basements. Wood has given good service in the basement as posts, girders, and window frames, and will in the future, if provision is made to keep the wood dry. Allowing a post to bear directly on a ce ment floor invites decay A con crete base block resting on a i cement footing and extending a- bove the floor in the basement, however, provides drainage and protection for the post against rot and termites Those are only a few of the many essential conditions neces sary in good construction given in this new publication, which is profn.sely illustrated, and can be ol)taino(i from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Waahinston, 1.—Conatan- tim» ^ QvauMtaky, Rnntaa am* baasador, mia n^rted to hwr* complained to fiocreUiy of Htaio Bull -today a««lMt a “moral am- bargo" om AmavtaftA p^io menta to Roagia knd ai^nst , a ^jeeeb in -wUA-a bltii Hnltad dtatea^ofnctal tomdad-- wrrlet troops as "serfs,’’ ^ Under the moral embargo, the state department discontuges A- merlcan ma&nfacturers from sell ing Russia airplanes, airplane parts, and plants and plans for making aviation gasoline. The department takes the position that this country should refrain from granting aeronautical assist ance to nations which bomib civil ian populations. The speech which Russia re sents was made by Louis Johnson, assistant secretary of war, before the New York State Bankers as sociation on January 15. Speaking on the topic “Lessons From Fin land,’’ he said: “Again, the world hehuids the proof of the age-old axiom that a free man is worth at least a doz en serfs.’’ Johnson added that Finland was fighting against “forces of bigotry and oppression’’ and that politics and purges had stymied the Russian officers in command while blind submission dominated in the ranks. Besides these two points, the Hull-Oumansky discussion was reported to have touched upon the bad feeling in general be tween the United States and Rus sia. Since the Russian invasion of Finland, relations between the two countries have deteriorated rapidly. For one thing, the Unit ed States has already granted one 110,000,000 loan to Finland, and pro-posals for further assistance are pending. After today’s 35-mlnute confer ence, Hull, in response to report ers’ question.?, said he would not undertake to say Wihether It had been a satisfactory conversation. The implication appeared to be that this was a query which should be addressed to Ouman-, sky. who had asked for the con ference. On the point of the “moral em bargo,’’ informed officials believe Oumansky could have received iVery small consolation from the secretary of state. As tong as Russian -planes continue to rain bombs on Finnish cities there is no hope of a change in the atti tude of the government here, it is believed. • > - If anything, the administration is looking for ways and means of making the embargo still more effective. Under discussion for some time has been the prospect of embargoing the shipment of aviation gasoline.
