Following; closely i pon th remarkable
publicity campalKn In brha'f nf Portland
cement as a building material. Is the re
cent organlzatliin of a National association
composed of tho principal brick manufac
turers anil Jobbers of the t'nlted States.
Through judicious and persistent advertis
ing, cement, has becomo a household word.
11 Is ndaptablo to many Important us
ml liai found ready demand for the ex
terior of building as well ns for footings.
rloors, foundations and masonry.
A vast amount of lumber has been dis
placed by tho adoption of cement construc
tion and to this extent there has been a
distinct Improvement In tho quality of
buildings In every section of the country,
particularly In residences. The re of ce
ment Is, however, but one step toward the
perfection to which American residence
architecture la tending. The better class
of architects do not encourage the use of
cament for tho entire exterior of residences.
The artificial la giving way to the real.
While cement (or "atucco") work Is consid
ered to be right and proper for gables,
dormers and upper stories which overhang,
It Is only because of the "overhang" that
It Is right and proper.
A cement surface does not suggest nor
Indlcuto strength or support. It Is merely
a curta'n wall, a thin fabric of lath and
plaster which adds no e ement of strength
to tho structure and without resistance to
rain and dampness unless the pora are
closed periodically with some special water
proofing composition.
Artistic effects have sometimes been pro
duced from a discreet use of exterior stucco
work, but they are the exception rather
than the rule, If used for the entire exter
ior. Demand for the Ileal.
It Is a growing demand for the real rather
than the artificial that accounts for the
Increased uso of brick In residences. This
Increased Interest In brick as an artistic
building material Is apparently due to sev
eral facts, via:
.1. In abstract. Intrinsic quality, no ma
terial compared with brick.
2. The handicap of a strictly limited variety
of kinds and colors has been completely re
moved and at this time the manufacturers
are striving- after high quality and beauti
ful colors.
8. The brick Industry haa been placed upon
a business basis, the manufacturers being
so y concerned with the problem of mak
ing brick, while the product la marketed,
as In all other lines, through - wideawake
Jobbers and dealers.
4. Architects have discovered that the great
variety of face brick now available has
greatly Increased the artistic and archi
tectural possibilities.
6. Owners, most of whom build but once,
have begun to appreciate that the use of
brick Involves reduced cost of upkeep, in
creased beauty, enhanced Investment value
and greater comfort against extremes of
temperature.
Aa a general proposition the public shows
" interest in me present tendency to
build better" and In no way can the "city
beautiful" be realised more quickly or more
surely than through the use of brick as a
building material.
As a matter of personal Interest to every
prospective builder, reports from other citlea
confirm the expressions obtained from local
owners that the slight additional first cost
of facing a building with brick la offset by
reduced cost of maintenance, and the net
result la a greatly Increased investment
van!. ,
The Idea of depreciation, which heavllv
discounts the value of a ten-year old frame
house, scarcely enters the mind of the
prospective purchaser if the building is of
uric, it is only fair to the realty to niva
It a chanoe to earn for its owner a natural
Increase in value without having to deduct
an equal or greater, amount because the
improvements upon It have depreciated.
i ne noaern tendency to build substan
tially ana petmanently impllea tho use of
brick because of its Indestructibility.
The recently organized Building Brick as
sociation of America has for Its purpose the
creating of an increased Interest in brick
aa a building material.

Defense Case Set for C'onnell
niaffs la Dismissed and o
Itrnaon filven.
The controversy between the United
States and the Nebraska millers over the
legality of the flour bleaching process
with reference to the pure food law will
come to a hearing before Judge John C.
Pollock, sitting for Judge rhllllpa, in fed
eral court In Kansas City on Tuesday.
K. I Smith of Omaha, attorney for
tho millers, will go to Kansas City for tha
defense.
Tho "bleached flour" case, an the action
has come to bo called, has been pending
under various titles for a long period. A
similar case embodying exactly the same
l.tsues was set down for hearing In federal
court at Council Bluffs on March Jl. For
reason altogether unknown the govern
ment refused to try the case. The de
fense was on hand on that date while the
government was not In court.
No Iteason Given.
Colonel Marcellus I Temple, district at
torney for Iowa, was unable to give a
reason for the failure of Pierce Butler,
apodal assistant attorney general, to ap
pear In court to prosecute the case of
which he was in charge. A continuance
was granted and while the Mabray case
waa on trial some days later orders came
from Washington for the dismissal of the
case. The defense and the publlo have
PLANS FOR NEW POWER HOUSE
Street Hallway Company (o Spend
300,000 to Increase Its Pres
ent Power Plant.
The street railway-company today secured
a permit for he new power plant for which
It has broken gound at Fifth and Jones
streets. The structure will cost $300,000. It
will be located Just south of the present
power plant of tht company, which wljl be
maintained as a reserve plant when the
new one is put into operation.
The new plant will be 144x166 feet in
ground dimensions and will be 90 feet in
height, about fifteen feet higher than the
old building. It will be constructed of
brick and steel, with tile trimmings, and
will be fireproof. Dlchter & Jens of St.
Louis are the engineers In charge of the
work, and' they are under obligations to

CITY ENTITLED TO TAXES
Bar nam Says Itecel vershlp of 'Phone
Company la ' Not of Slarnlft-
cance to Claim. .
City Attorney Burnam, speaking of the
council resolution directing him to pro
ceed to collect tho occupation tax due the
city from the Independent Telephone com
pany, ' says he believes . the fact that the
company Is In the hands of a receiver ap
pointed by the federal court will not de
prive the city of its lien.. Just how to pro
ceed, under the circumstances, has not yet
been decided by the city attorney. Ordinary
taxes become a lien by operation of law,
but whether occupation taxes take the
same course s a question Mr. Burnam Is
not now prepared to give an opinion on.
Purlng the coming week the department
will take steps to protect the rights of the
city In the premises and to collect the tax
if possible. The amount involved la-something
over $1,300, for the time since Septem
ber 1 last i
been left In the dark In regard to this
action.
The case which the government now
proposes to hear In Kansas City Is known
as the Islington case. It Is basd on the
seliure of a shipment of flour from the
Lexington mills of Nebraska at a point in
transit In Mlssoui'!.,
The defense makes no denial that the
flour seised has been blearhed. Nebraska
millers propose to go through to the finish
on tho contention that the treatment of
the flour with nitrogen peroxide' to re
move coloring matter Is not an adulter
ation. The hearing of the case will there
fore involve much of expert testimony
and technicality.
All of the milling companies of Nebraska
are standing back of the Lexington case
as they were In the Council Bluffs case
In which the Updike milling company and
the Shawnee milling company of Topeka
were Involved.
