Seattle, Wash., Feb.26.-4 radical departure from standard constru,ction for apartment partition walls, has been developed by a firm of architects here. Lumber, tongued-' and-grboved, 2x6, is mostly cut to length for partition use before it is first used in forms for the concrete construction. After it has been used in shoring, bracing, stringers and soffit boards it is taken down and built into mill construction partitions.

The typical partition consists of the 2x6's set up vertically, making a solid two-inch wall. For sound resistant partiti'ons, this wall is covered with sound insulating material on both sides and plastered. For minor partitions it may be lathed with wood lath. Where wood lath is used, it is furred out by lath strips set vertically at about 16-inch centers, and the w,hole nailed through to the 2x6 c'ore.

This ,constru,ction is extremely solid, sturdy and resistant to fire and sound; but being thinner than standard hollow walls, effects a saving in space. All the floor formwork is used in the partitions. The only waste consists of the cleats and possible odd lengths, most of which are used up in the partitions over doorways, etc. The wall is almost air tight, even before lath and plaster are applied. The construction .is simple. 'Workmen are able to go through with the various steps with great speed.
