The lower chords had settled upon and were being supported by the interior partitions ot masonry or wood and were carrying the roof and attic loads as beams. They were seriously weakened by splices, and at several points by notches cut in the lower surface to accomodate the wooden troughs that formerly carried the roof drainage, some of the notches being so deep that only about four inches of solid wood remained." Nothing, it appears, could be done short of entire reconstruction to correct the abuse of the trusses. Additions to the attic made in 1902, despite the fact that the weakening ot the trusses was noted as early as 1873, materially increased the direct load on the horizontal members and indications of their failure became more evident. Incidentally it Is worth while to divert from the thread of the story long enough to mention the fact that President. Grant, who occupied the White House in 1873, and to whom the condition of the roof was first reported, was the grandfather of Lt. Col. U. S. Grant, III, under whose direction the present renovation of the mansion is being carried out. In 1926, an appropriation of $375,000 was made for "reconstructing the roof, attic, and ceilings ot the second story of the executive mansion" and actual construction was begun on March 14, 1927. The first operation was the erection of a temporary wooden roof over the entire building to protect the interior from damage until the now roof was in place. Forests of various sections of the country have contributed to the renovation of the mansion. Northern and white pine from Minnesota southern yellow pine are being used for the mill work; Louisiana pine and hardwood for the from the middle west for the top flooring. Such new structural timber as was required In the new permanent roof was treated with wood preservatives and it is confidently expected that it will last as long as the iron, steel and slate with which en souvenirs. It is apparent that if the trusses had not been abused the White House roof might not have required replacement for ages. It was only recently, after nine centuries that the timbers in the roof of the Westminster Hall, London, had to be re- inforced because of weevil infestation. In some of the old stone chateaux of France hemlock timbers have withstood time better than the walls. It remains to be seen whether modern steel frame construction will endure any better than heavy timber construction. Certainly steel ships do not last longer than their wooden predecessors on the high seas. Incidentally, It might be said that we may have to return to timber for much structural work in which It has been replaced by steel. The diminishing iron ore supplies of the world may require that steel shall never be used where renewable, potentially inexhaustible wood will do. A member of the U. S. Geological Survey says that the iron mines of the Lake Superior region will be worked out in about thirty years and iron does not grow again. The and improvement of anti-ro- t treatments of wood may make it even more desirable than steel for some of the purposes in which the latter has succeeded the former. However that may be, the half section of the White House truss that the government is to preserve will be a reminder to future generations of the incalculable service the primeval forests of America were to the formative days of the From settler's board shack nation. or log cabin to the stately mansions ot the president the forests shelter ed and protected the swarming millions.
