THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen-
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble, every
HORSEPOWER should know in a general
way, when a surface is in proper con-
dition to receive paint, what kind Of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
A complete painting guide, includ-
ing a book of color schemes, specifi-
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul-
terations in painting materials, with
directions for using it, can be had
free by writing National Lead Com

ed into the sheer face of the cliff.
Though the actual gradients of these
ascents are not severe, yet the matt
plicity of road angles to be negotiat-
ed is appalling. The sensation at the
time of negotiation can be better
imagined than expressed when it is
remembered that eight out Of tea Of
the angles overhang sheer precipices.
Moreover, the angles are innocent Of
a parapet worthy Of the name; while,
in the case Of heavy car, the mar
gin is matter OF inches. I defy even
the most hardy, when at 1000 feet
abtrge sea level the motor driver

hairs breadth, not to feel a thrill as

stand back.

explanation while crowd of people
began to surge into the street. The

go ahead. When the carriage had

said:
