There is argument pro and con as to| which is the better to use in the con- struction of a class A building, rein- forced concrete or terra cotta and brick. Much been said and written in re- | gard to the respective merits of the two building materials now being specified | in the plans for mew structures. The| Call has obtained the oOpinions of two| well known building material men and they declare there is no appreciable Qi in the strength and lasting qualities of the two methods of bui.d- ing, except that architecturally the terra cotta and brick construction is more pieasing to the esthetic eye. Percy W. Rochester and John L | Howard of the Western : uel Company statements as to the values ding materials. They are versed in the lasting qualities, strength < and architectural worth of materials in general, having gained their know! from long experience and scientific ex- periment. Rochester has been assoc ated with Professor Hunt of the eng! neering department of the Universi of California and with him has experi- mented extensively with brick, mortar, concrete and cements. He said: “The great trouble in the construction of many brick buildings is that the quality of mortar used is not| what it should be. Taking a brick with a crushing power of 6000 pounds to the uare inch and cement it with mortar g but a crushing power of 400 pounds to the square inch, you may as well lay the bricks with no mortar at all. 1f 2 proper binder is not used, the w of the building made of brick have no tensile strength, that is, they cannot withstand jarring. Of course, as long as the building is not subjected to hguake shock or jarring of any nat the result of using a poor mor- tar not evident. It is the same as making a silk dress for a woman and sending it out with a calico binding. MORTAR IS CHIEF CONCER) “We sell lime, cement, terra cotta| and bricks, so I have no reason to dis- parage one building material or boost n In the destruction of build- the recent earthquake and fire, find that the buildings which put up with a poor binder was either not mixed right To 1 the binder or o th the bricks a consistent strength ruug*m it In my judgment, the best mortar for brick or stone is a mortar mixed with three ti uch cement as lime. s the University of rnia and eminent engineers and imented and found e best forced concrete has an intense strength, but it has no tensile strength; it will crack. To prevent this steel rods are use to give the required tensile strength. Commercial chemists have discovered that the expansion and con- traction of the steel and comcrete &re same. so that the concrete rein- ced gives a good Structure in any e. Reinforced concrete is ideal ertain construction work, but in has not the merits of the vy products. Reinforced concrete has not the architectural beauty of the clay a rclusion, 1 can but say that the ilding material is not near as important as lity of mortar sed. The i s would not go s if they woyld specify the style mortar and the manner of mixing.” BRICKS SHOULD BE SOAKED. John L. Howard, president of Western Fuel Company, said great trouble with builders is that they do not employ a proper binder. Too much lime is used in the mortar and a | poor quality of sand is used. The: cannot go out into any lot in Sar co and secure a sand fit for mortar. The sand of San contains too much loam. sharp enough mason and builder know Should b faoukid: o twhtic length of time before the the “The Francisco It is not | a given mortar is applied.

LONDON, June 12. — The all-night of the admirers of Miss Ellen Terry who Wwere anxious to get into the Drury Lane Theater and witness jubilee matinee performance this afternoon ended in the disappointment of hundreds who, after braving a twen- ty-four hours’ wait outside the doors, failed to gain admittance. The doors were opened at 10:30 a. m. to admit the weary crowd of enthusiasts, and for a few minutes the scene resembled a football scrimmage.
