During the past week the National Association of Heating and Piping Contractors, which held $ts annual convention in Washington at the New WWillard Hotel, discussed many phases of constructidn, particularly in respect to the heating of all types of struct- ures from private dwellings to theater and office buildings, It is interesting to note the article sent to the membership through the country explaining why the assoc toin chose the Capital City as its c vention meeting place. The article, entitled “Why Washington for th Annual Convention,” follows, in part “For 126 Washington h been the permanent seat of the Gov ernment of the United States. It: b tions and advahtages nd so varied that the rd of directors of your national ociation thought it ‘fdedl for the eventh annual convention of the assocation. All the things that go into making a desirable convention city will be found there.

Rock T the most picturesque utiful national park in the Potomac Park, with its along the of the Potomac, with fts 'ms of recreation and en- tertainment, and many other smaller but no less ractive public reser- vations, “No other city can boast of such wonderful tree-shaded streets and avenues. There are nearly 110,000 splendid shade trees along the curbs on the streets of our city. “Among the most noted suburban attractions are Mount Vernon, Fort Myer, the home of the Army's crack Cavairy troops, and Arlington, that most noted of all national ceme- terfes, in which stands the old man- sion, once the home of Gen. Robert F. Lee, most noted soldier of the South. “Side trips from Washington will make available other noted places of interest. A night's ride on the Potomac brings you to Old_Point Comfprt, Hampton Houds, James- town,. Norfolk and Newport News shipyard. A few hours’ journey by roil permits a visit to Monticello. the home of Thomas Jefferson. By automobile, through beautiful scen- ery, you can easily reach the Gettys- burg Battlefleld. A short trolley ride takes vou to Annapolis and the United States Naval Academy. A few hours on the train takes you to Philadelphia_and the Sesquicenten- nial czlebration of the founding of our country.” GOOD PAINT AND VARNISH ARE FIRST REQUISITES These Give Protection of Surfaces, Beauty of Effect and Better Durability. Protection of the various surfaces, beauty of effect, sanitation and dura- bility are all to be considered in paint- “varnishing and finishing of walls, woodwork and floors in the new |7 bullding. The first item of importance is the selection of good paint and varnish, The best will cost a little more pe: gallon, but fewer gallons will be need- ed. Select a good painter, if you are not an expert yourself. The right kind of paint, plus some one who knows how to use it, and good wood will make a beautiful interior. ‘The standing trim, doors, ete., should first receive attention. They should be stained with a good penetrating stain. If the wood is open-grained oak, it should be paste-filled. Twenty- four hours should be allowed for the stain to dry. Twelve hours after the wood has been past lisd, the work should be sanded, the dust wiped off and a coat of orange shellac applied. If paste- filler {s used, it should match the staini The orange sheliac should be used only' over brownish or reddish tones of stain. Use white shellac over all the other colors. On_ window stools, sash rails, b: boards or floors, all exterfor surfaces, and other surfaces exposed to much weather or moisture, do not use shel- lac or liquid fillers, but apply a good floor or spar varnish directly over the stain or paste-filler. —_— Florida has used more than 300,000, 000 tons of fertilizer during the past 16 _years.
