The remedy for this, is to let the studs of the first storystand on the girders, and the studs of the second story stand upon thecap of the first story partition, and so on, so that the floor timbers donot form a part of the vertical frame. (Fig. 26.) This will give an amount of horizontal wood equal to the girdersat ten inches, and the two caps at two inches each, making fourteeninches in all, about equal to the horizontal timber in the outside running through two or more stories which do not carryfloor beams should be built in the same way. Partitions which haveno corresponding partitions under them will often occur and will befound in two conditions, those running parallel with the floor beamsand those running across the floor beams.
