House Built of Plastics
Presents Many Changes
Homes of the not too far distant
future are destined for some revolu
tionary and logical changes, accord
ing to predictions made by Alden B.
Dow, Michigan architect, who has
already gained nationwide recogni
tion for his modern functionally de
signed homes. Dow envisions
houses constructed almost entirely
of plastic materials as a develop
ment in the near future. There will
be no cracked walls in the homes
constructed of these materials be
cause surfaces will be broken up
into small units and sealed together
with an elastic material, thereby al
lowing the natural movement of the
building frame.
These small units will be of geo
metric form, combinations of which
will form the design of the building
—that is, dimensions will be in terms
of units rather than feet and inches.
Doors will be so many units high
and wide, windows will be merely
transparent units, while ventilators,
radiators, light fixtures, radios and
other accessories will be available
in sizes interchangeable with these
units. It will be easy to add to these
new buildings because one system
of construction will apply through
out. An addition will merely require
so many standard unit frames and
the necessary units to cover it and
line it.
Other advantages claimed for the
new materials include their good in
sulation against heat and electricity.
Houses built of them, it is said, will
be cooler in summer and warmer in
winter. In addition they will consti
tute an extremely low fire hazard,
and be resistant to most acids.
Plastic blocks need no seasoning.
They are completely waterproof,
cannot warp or lose their shape.
They will not, like wood, be attacked
by insects, nor like most other ma
terials, be subject to decay and dis
integration “In building with them,
wastage—heretofore a big cost fac
tor-will be eliminated,” states Mr.
Dow.
These and many other advantages
of using plastics for building pur
poses have been indicated for some
time but the difficulties of molding
large pieces suitable for use in this
field have, until recently, hindered
extensive application in this direc
tion.
Stories of Horatio Alger
Are Popular at Harvard
Harvard men seem to be the only
ones around Boston who still read
the stories of Horatio Alger Jr. The
newsboys, about whom Alger used
to write, are little interested. At
the Burroughs Newsboys’ foundation
in Boston the members prefer Tar
zan.
Alger, who died in 1899 at Natick,
Mass., at the age of 67 years, was
graduated from Harvard in 1852.
The Harvard library has about 25
titles, many the gift of the author,
writes Mary Elizabeth Prim in the
Boston Transcript. They circulate,
too, and are slowly gaining in popu
larity. Records show that the books
seldom went out in the 19205, but
have been in demand during the last
few years.
The librarians can’t figure whether
this is due to loyalty to a fellow
alumnus or a belated interest in the
methods of the newsboys and others
in the street trades about whom
Alger wrote with such gusto. All
Alger’s lads had one thing in com
mon. They made a lot of money
and made it quickly. The Alger
heroes were honest and eager, but
they certainly got the breaks.
There was invariably a rich, kindly
old gentleman to make them junior
partners.
There are a number of Alger’s
books in the Boston Public library,
including his Harvard class ode, but
none of them circulates. Several
are in the rare books collection.
The public library in Chelsea,
where Alger was born, has not a
single title of his on the shelves.
Home Hardware
The character of the house as well
as the coloring and finish of the
woodwork should be carefully con
sidered in selecting hardware for the
I home. A hardware design suited to
a home of elaborate architectural
style is out of place in an informal
home of simple lines. Straight-for
ward, unpretentious design is best i
for the small house. Since the hard- j
ware of a home gets plenty of usage, i
good quality here is of more impor-1
tance than in some other features, j
Frequently the substitution of new j
hardware for old will do much to
liven up the appearance of the en- j
tire house.
Italy’s Synthetic Fruits
Although Italy has no need to de
velop synthetic fruits as part of the
self-sufficiency campaign, since mil
lions of tons are raised in the coun
try every year, Sicilian sweets mak
ers still make a fine art of concoct
ing artificial lemons, oranges, ap
ples, pears, and even strawberries
out of candy, some of which are so
perfect that taste is the only means
of distinguishing them from the real
thing.
Sicilian Papyrus Manufacture
Papyrus plants brought to Syra-1
cuse by the Egyptians about 750,
B. C. still flourish in a pond in the |
heart of Syracuse, Sicily. The art!
of making roots of the papyrus plant |
into paper used for tablets and
scrolls in ancient times is still pre
served in Syracuse where several j
families are engaged in the industry. ]
