FRY FELIX MARTZEN Sec.-Treas, = sect 17-3p | QUESTIONNAIRE ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE PERPLEXING PROBLEMS’ OF THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA, Query.—The government has launched an educational campaign to encoyrage, building In order to put more men to work, Would not a similar movement to show how the old structures can be best. and most economically repaired and made. good as new also help? , Answer.—It {ig learned that such a plan is in effect and is linked directly with the Washington propaganda, works of war to the ways of peace, Ermployment must be found, in the meunwhile, for those whose occupa; ‘lon has been Interrupted. There is ng real surplus of labor in the United States. Rather there is a shortage, which would be acute if normal condi ditions were already restored, and one step towards restoring them ‘will come with resumption of repair work. Government restrictions, tmposed by the necessities of the war program, have for many months past retarded or altogether prevented construction, improvement and repairs, These re- strictions are now off, and there ta scarcely a town, a city, a factory, a dwelling or a farm that does not reveal a crying need for prompt attentign, Nothing delays such instant action ex- cept the feeling that prices are high for the time being and may be lower, That is not logical. No matter what it costs to repair, the cost is less than the. cost of neglect, No matter what the cost of paint, the wind and the weather will collect a higher bill in deterioration and decay. Query.—What do you think of paint aa | an investment, agide from the appearance it lends? Does it really PAY to palat a house regularly, say, every three or for years? Answer,—Good paint préperly ap- plied when needed is the main thing tn making a house last long and well. 4 house worth $2,500 can be painted at a cost of about $125. In 60 years that house will need about 15 paintings, the total cost of which will be $1,805, Left without paint, such a house would fall {nto complete ruin ip 80 years. So taking 60 years as a basis for our Gg- ares we find that with paint a home will last that time in good condition and will cost, plus paint, $4,875, With- out paint the house would have to. be rebuilt at the end of 80 years and would be ready for another complete renovation when the sixtieth year ar- rived. Cost, without paint, $5,000 tor a home ready to fall to pieces. Doeg regular painting pay? As the gid Dutch adage says: " “PAINT PAYS FOR ITSELF.” Query.—I have a quantity of old paint on hand, Can I use it for the first coat in repainting my barn? Answer,—On no account should old paint which has become fat be used for priming either old or new work. Old paint in that condition Is best used on a fence, brickwork or tinwork. If you value your barn sufficiently to paint it, do it the Justice of a good job. U. &. invents Anti-Rust “Dope,” . Incident to the war, the government, has faced the problem that has so long proved baffling to commercial con- cerns of protecting iron and gteel from rust, In an attempt to solye this fed- eral specialists have perfected varioys forms of protective coatings, In thig connection it may be pertinent to ask whether commercial uses will not be found also for the so-called ‘dopes” which the government has invented tq be applied to airplane wings and which are possessed of valuable weather-ce: sisting and fireproof qualities, EFFECT OF COLOR UPON THE DURABILITY OF PAINT, Property owners who may have un- der consideration the painting of dwellings and other structures should remember that more durable results are obtained when tinted paints are used. Permanent coloring materigis which have been ground by maching into a high grade white paint hase have the effect of preventing “chalk- ing" and “checking,” two defects which are often observed when white paints are used, PRETTY COLOR COMBINATIONS, _—<—_——— Ground Stipple Stencil Coat Coat Color White Light Rose Medium, Light Grey White Light Gray] Dull Blue, Gray-Green White Light Warm] Light Cobalt Yellow Blue, Neutral Light Dreh Light Gray | Same Gray,| Gray, Grayr a little dark-|Green or er Light Cobalt Blue Light Gray | Light Blue |Gray, Blue of Light Orange Yellow Light Gray Green Light.

The new painting process, however, proved a success. Disintegration was halted and the damaged parts restor- ed. New York breathed easily again. PAINT PROTECTION AND ITS ECONOMY, The preservation of structural ma- terials, which may be obtained through the application of paint, constitutes a most vital means of furthering the con- servation ef our natural resources, It ig, moreover, the most economical methed of sustaining the appearance and general upkeep of any commu- nity. A structure coated with sheets of In- dia rubber would not be as well protect- ed from decay as g structure coated with a good ofl paint. This is due to the fact that a sheet of rubber ts not so durable or as waterproof as a thin dried film of paint. The latter mate- rial when applied dries to a continuous elastic film containing finely divided particles of metallic, wear resisting Pigments. A square foot of such a film upon a wooden surface costs less tharm a penny, yet it will beautify and pratect a dollar's worth of surface for many years, This is a low rate of in- surance, Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds, posta, fences, stock enclosures, wagons, implements, windmills and other struc- tures, whether of wood, Iron or cement, phquid be preserved, through the use of paint, from rapid decay. High grade paint may be used successfully for all such purposes. Colored paints will be fqund.the most aeviceable, the coloring matter in the paint adding from two ie three years to the life of the coating. pove-tocron> ons nie escalate ate
