The editor win do. ««, responsible for rlewi expressed by correspondents. GRAHAM, N.C., Oct. 7, 1926. New Ideas In Housebuilding. "One of the questions that will come the research depart ment n proposed national lumber use extension undertaking," says Wilson Compfcft, Secretary man ager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, "is that of lumber's contribution to the problem of providing good housing at much lower cost than at present. "Other building material inter ests are making studies of reduc ing construction costs by enlarg ing the material units. Sample concrete block houses actually have been reduced to 100 units,, instead of 75,000 units that ap pear in a small brick dwelling house. * • "Governor ' Atterbury of the New York Tenement House Com mittee, points out that 63 percent of the cost of a house goes to put ting the units together. He eon eiders it possible to build concrete large unit houses of five or six rooms and 100 different pieces in about three days." Already knocked-down lumber Chouses have proved themselves practical. In this large unit type of construction, it is'pretty safe to predict that lumber can be put ■up in larger, stronger and fewer ' units per house, weight consider ed, than any other types of mater nal. Earthquakes and wind storms Ihave demonstrated the tremend ous strength of lumber to resist pressure and vibration. This ad vantage will become more evident in the unit type of construction, for lumber ean be fastened togeth er so that it is almost impossible to shake or pull it apart. Take A Lesson From Insurance. There is a growing tendency to cut out waste and inefficiency In manufacturing, production and distribution, and to simplify and standardize every possible opera tion. Industries which feel that they cannot standardize or simplify their operations might take a les son from insurance. In the 200 lines in the standard fire' insurance policy, there are approximately 1920 words—re markably few considering that "upwards of f140,000,000,000 worth of property is under the protection of stock fire insurance companies alone. When one con siders the variety of risks which fire insurance must cover, and considers the number of legal }>roblems involved, it would seem ike an impossible job to draw a contract of so few words, which is applicable around the world. W. £. Mallalieu, General Man ager of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, points out that people "do not buy anything -when they take out inssrance, "but enter into a definite contract." Every person taking out-insur ance should read his policy. It is doubtful if one person in a hundred goes into this trouble. The fact that there is so little controversy over insuranoe claims which are not of incendiary origin speaks volumes for the careful siess and the lairness with irhioh this contract between the insur ance company and the insured, is drawn. By selling milk to an ice-cream plant in Greensboro, 'one farmer in Guilford county cleared t96 last June from five oows, $lO4 in July from six cows and SIOB in August. He says such net profit is better than growing ootton and tobacco. Latest scientific figures show that light travels 186,173 miles a second, which is nearly 20 miles a second slower than the original calculations. But still that seems to be fast enongh, says the Red Wing, Minn., Republican. Tom Tarheel says that carpet of green clover 4n his big field makes him feel good, especially when he sees the chickens and cows enjoying themselves these days. Pecan trees will pay taxes in addition to making the farm FLORIN LEADS REUtf RECORDS Heads Major Disaittrs of 1928. Rod Cross Active in 62 Emtrgsnoiot in Yoar.'
