Mix the coloring-matter thoroughly with the sand till a uniform color results and then mix with the cement. The Association of American Portland Cement Manufacturers in their “Cement Stucco” bulletin refer to this subject in part as follows: “One of the most important questions, and one that is bound to arise whenever the use of coloring-matter in cement is contemplated, is that of permanency. Blacks are safe colors, as a rule, although it is better to avoid experiments with cheap blacks. The carbon blacks are preferable to lampblacks, because they do not have the same tendency to float to the top during mixing. There are fewer grades of carbon blacks and there is, therefore, less likelihood of getting a worthless color. Ultramarine blue, if of good quality, will hold its color for a number of years, and gen- erally possesses the virtue of fading out evenly, when it does finally lose its color. It cannot be classed as a permanent color, as is black, brown or ochre.

French ochre, if genuine, is safe to use, and with it most attractive colonial yellow and buff tones can be secured. There are a number of good yellow ochres manufactured in this country, but natur- ally they are not of the cheapest variety. It is always safe to know the name of the manufacturer, and also whether or not the color was specially designed for coloring cement.” Finish SMOOTH FINISH — A smooth finish can be secured by bringing the final coat to an even surface with a steel trowel, with as little rubbing as possible. STIPPLED — After a smooth finish is secured, pat lightly with a whisk broom when sufficiently set to obtain a uniform surface. SPARKLING FINISH — Make 10 per cent, solution of muriatic acid in water and scrub with stiff brush after final setting. Thoroughly rinse with clean water. SLAP-DASH OR ROL T GH CAST — After the second coat has been brought to a smooth, even surface and before attaining final set, dash on the third coat evenly with a wooden paddle, to produce a rough surface of uniform texture when viewed from a distance of 20 feet. PEBBLE-DASH — A pebble-dash surface can be secured by applying the final coat fairly wet and then throwing clean pebbles into the fresh plaster. The pebbles should be about 1 2 inch in diameter and should run uniformly. Before throwing them on the fresh plaster the pebbles should be wet. The work should be started at the top and the pebbles thrown with a sweeping motion such as is used in sowing grain. The pebbles must, of course, be distributed uniformly over the surface, and must be thrown against the fresh soft plaster with sufficient force to embed them securely. Care must be taken not to disturb the cement after it has started to set, and in order to avoid this, the surface must be covered with the pebbles immediately after the fresh plaster is applied. A plasterer by ordinarily quick work can cover a surface of 6 feet square with plaster and then apply the pebbles. Aggregate To produce white concrete or white artificial stone, Medusa Water- proofed White Portland Cement should be carefully mixed with white sand, ground white marble, quartz or white limestone, graded from fine ]□□□□ PAGE ELEVEN □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□GCCD.IQDDDOQ MEDUSA WATERPROOFED WHITE PORTLAND CEMENT to coarse, and passing when dry a screen having inch diameter holes. Extra precaution should be taken in the selection of white sand, ground marble, etc., for all non-staining work, as some contain a large percentage of organic substances which discolor. Excellent grades of white marble can be obtained from Conlin X Co., Tuckahoe, X . Y. and The Hoosac Company, North Adams, Mass.; white quartz from The Enos Adams Company, Bennington, Yt.; white granite from Monarch Mining Co., Jersey City, X . J. Every keen observer interested in the construction of fine buildings or monuments, has noticed with regret the discoloration of the cement mortar that has shown vividly in the joints, and in many cases has run down over the face of the stone causing a disfigurement that is difficult, expensive and sometimes impossible to eradicate. For years architects sought a cohesive substance that would give positive results, a non- staining product of high tensile strength and absolutely impervious, and this combination ot requirements in now being met by the use of Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement. The following should be specified: FOR LAYING AND BACKING LIMESTONE, TERRA COTTA AND FACE BRICK: 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement 3 parts fine white sand FOR LAYING AND BACKING GRANITE: 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement 3 parts Monarch White Granite Sand of Jersey City, N. J., or Ottawa Silica Sand of Ottawa Silica Co., Ottawa, 111. FOR SETTING MARBLE, GLAZED TILE, ETC.: 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement 1 part ground marble By i he use of 2 parts ground white marble or white sand and 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement, effects can be produced iu concrete blocks which give them the appearance of solid blocks of white marble. This mixture should be used in the face of the blocks, about % of an inch thick. It is important that blocks be kept moist for a period of from three to four weeks.

For garden furniture, balustrades, statuary, etc., use 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement and 2 parts ground white lime- stone, marble or white sand. Mix dry until thoroughly incorporated, add water and mix again to the consistency of thick cream. Keep moist for til least a week, allow surface to dry, and wash with dilute muriatic acid (1 part commercial muriatic acid, 4 parts water) applying this with a brush having no metal. Then wash with clean water, scrubbing the surface with a house scrubbing brush. Window Sills, Lintels, Copings, Watertables, Etc. Cast stone has passed the experimental stage, and is now being used by many of the leading architects throughout the country, as it is possible to produce a material of permanence and beauty. To avoid dampness through the cast stone, which is liable to ruin the interior, specify Medusa W aterproofed White Portland Cement throughout the mix, or in the face from one to two inches thick as the case may require. □ Concrete floors in banks, offices and public buildings are subjected to more or less severe conditions. Often excessive troweling, to make them smooth and less porous, causes cracks and crazing, and unless specially treated they will absorb more or less dirty water tracked in from the street or from mopping, and the effect that the architect strived to obtain is soon lost. In such cases specify: □ 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement 2 parts crushed marble (d" to 40 mesh sieve). It a courser grain is desired, add two to three parts of a larger stone. Mix wet. After being struck off, it should be allowed to set for a sufficient length of time to become firm before finishing with a steel trowel (excess- ive troweling is dangerous). Allow to set for three days, keeping wet, then rub with stone or rubbing machine to remove trowel marks and cement film. Scrub with 10 per cent, solution muriatic acid and thor- oughly rinse with clean water. Grout into the surface a mixture of 1 part of the cement and 1 part of fine marble. Allow to set for one week or more, keeping the work damp. Then rub with stone or rubbing machine until desired surface is obtained. Floors can be brought to a polish by this method.

Rising 789 feet from the side walk level, 55 stories, it is the highest building in the world. The first three stories are of Bed- ford limestone, and from the third story to the roof it is entirely of Atlantic terra cotta. To guard against the discolor- ation of the joints, which is caused from the smoke and dust, and the danger of the face of this beauti- ful structure becoming streaked and disfigured, the architect thought best to use Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Ce- ment for backing and setting lime- stone and terra cotta, thereby making not only a non-staining cement mortar but also an im- pervious one, that would prove capable of withstanding the driv- ing storms that frequently batter the sides of all tall buildings. After three years M e d u s a Waterproofed White Portland Ce- ment mortar has met every ex- pectation of the architect in the preservation of the limestone and terra cotta, and no discoloration has shown in the joints. This building will remain a monument to the architect, Cass Gilbert, a great credit to the builders, Thompson-Starrett Co., and is a valued addition of beauty to a wonderful city. Over 5000 barrels of Medusa Waterproofed \\ hite Portland C e- ment were used in this work.

Gentlemen : In reply to your letter of the 27th ult. , beg to advise that I used Medusa Water- proofed W hite Portland Cement in construction of a residence for myself. The house is built of 4" x 8" x 16" cement blocks faced with Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement and ground granite and sparkles as if studded with diamonds, and blocks are as dry as they can possibly be. Basement under entire house is concrete to grade line, and was made waterproof by the use of Medusa Waterproofed Gray Portland Cement. The work was completed one year ago and there has never been a time I could not strike a match anywhere on my basement walls. W^ords cannot express my great appreciation of the results secured by the use of Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement, and 1 unhesitatingly recommend it whenever possible. Too much cannot be said of the beautiful effect that can be obtained with this material. Yours respectfully, TIPTON CEMENT WORKS, T. D. Foster, Prop. West Liberty, Iowa, March 20, 1915. Sandusky Portland Cement Co., Cleveland. Ohio. Gentlemen : We have sold Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement for three years with the best of results. This has been used in pebble-dash and plain surface finish, and when white sand is used the effect is very pleasing. The call for this cement is growing very fast and we predict it is the coming material and will replace house siding in all modern houses. We have also sold your Medusa Waterproofed Gray Portland Cement for silos, and find it makes them waterproof and preserves silage.

Sandusky Portland Cement Co., Wapakoneta, Ohio, Sept. 29, 1915. Cleveland, Ohio. Gentlemen : On May 5, 1913, I bought 10 barrels of Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement from you, but did not have occasion to use any until this Fall. Some of it caked a little, but readily pulverized when sacks were dropped on the floor. In the construc- tion of my residence the weather boards were painted well, covered with expanded steel lath, and stuccoed as follows: 1st coat — 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement and 4 parts Tuckahoe white marble. 2nd coat — 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement and 2 parts Tuckahoe white marble. 3rd coat — Same proportions as second coat. The last coat was a “slap-dash” and the three coats are one inch thick. White paint was used on the borders (frame work) but the stucco is much whiter, in fact it makes the paint look slightly drab. Although I have had previous experience in cement work, this is the first job of stuccoing I ever tackled. The men who did the work were inexperienced also, but had some previous experience at plastering, which helped. 1 gained some valuable knowledge from your Medusa Review which always contains valuable pointers. Only 6% barrels of cement were required for the entire residence. The cost of labor, putting on the lath and stucco, two men at S2.00 per day each, was $42.80. As it took only 200 square yards of lath to cover the building, you can readily see that the total cost was very reasonable, in fact only 21 cents per square yard for putting on the lath and three coats of stucco. The work was thoroughly sprinkled, every day, morning and night, for a week. It is as hard as a rock, no cracks have appeared, and I am well pleased with results. After all the “ifs,” "buts,” “ands,” and “whys,” I predict that there will be more of this work done in this community, for within the past week there have been at least 200 property owners out to look at the place and ask questions. I will be glad to answer inquiries at any time, and in the meantime the house still stands and looks better every day in spite of the croakers and evil prognosticators. Very respectfully yours, R. G. HERRMANN.

The new structure standing on the river at Pawtuxet, and com- bining a public ball room of two stories with a cement basement equipped as a public canoe house and as quarters for the Swastika Canoe Club, is a heavily beamed building of modern style, 220' x 190', 2 stories in height, with an exterior of cement stucco of Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement and Conlin & Co., Tuckahoe, N. V. marble. The architects were John F. O'Malley and Henry F. Lewis. It is managed by the Rhodes Brothers Corporation who are to be commended upon the way in which this famous place of amusement has always been conducted. The General Plastering Co. of Providence was awarded the plastering contract, and used in the finish coat: 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement 1 part Conlin & Co. 20 to 30 Tuckahoe, N. V. marble 1 part Conlin & Co. 8 to 20 Tuckahoe, N. V. marble 10% in weight of cement of hydrated lime. After thorough mixing, water was added slowly until the proper consistency was attained, then applied with a steel trowel, stippling with a whisk broom when sufficiently set. The material was accepted after a sample containing the above mix, submitted by our representative, had been thrown into a mud puddle on the site and allowed to remain there several hours before an attempt was made to scrub off the grime. The sample when cleaned showed no sign of discoloration which proved beyond a doubt the value of Me- dusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement for stucco, and showed the extreme caution used by the owners in selecting all material for the building. A plaster consisting of: 1 part Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement 1 part 20 to 30 marble 10% hydrated lime was used as a finish coat over the interior concrete walls of the basement which form retiring rooms for ladies and gentlemen, toilets and smoking room. Material was furnished by James C. Goff Co. Medusa products are also sold by M anchester & Hudson Co. and H. R. Horton Co., all of Providence, Rhode Island. PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT Residence of L. O.

Cleveland, Ohio. Gentlemen: In regard to your Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement, will say that I now use it exclusively in the manufacture of cemetery lot fences, individual grave frames, flower urns, porch pillars, in fact I use it wherever I use White Cement, as it is the only cement I have found that does not stain or become darker with age, but seems to get whiter. The cemetery lot fence as shown on photo herewith was pronounced by experts to be the finest piece of work of its kind the) - had ever seen. I highly recommend Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Cement to anyone who wants a real white, impervious finish. Yours truly, LA PORTE CITY CEMENT WORKS. J. W. Stewart, Prop. Beautifying the Garden Artificial stone sun-dials, bird baths, flower vases, Italian fountains, urns, pergolas, etc., are superior to iron as they require no paint, will withstand the test of all weather, and in the case of vases artificial stone does not heat and wither the flowers. At the same time its soft color blends wonderfully with the green of the grass and foliage. Vase illustrated herewith was made by the Architectural Decorating Co., Chicago, 111., of 1 part Medusa Water- proofed White Portland Cement and 3 parts white silica sand, in gelatin molds. Decorations of this character should be of such material that they will always retain their whiteness and artistic value, forwhich Medusa Waterproofed White Portland Ce- ment is noted.

Milwaukee, Wis. Gentlemen: I have used stucco finish on the exterior of many residences and other buildings coming under my supervision with more or less satisfactory results, but until using Medusa White Cement had difficulty in getting the light color often so desirable by owners and architects. I also found that the waterproofed brand of this cement was superior and had lasting qualities which make it especially desirable for spattered finish as it prevents the cracking and disintegration caused by absorption of dampness and the staining which results therefrom. I specified Medusa Waterproofed White Cement for my own residence because 1 believe it will last and retain its new appearance for a long period. Yours very truly, HUGH W.
