Not Paint

The worst mistake in painting is not
putting-off. That costs about 10 per
cent; you keep your money year and
pay 10 per cent for 1t.
Paint would have to come down 25
per cent to make 10 per cent on the
Job, for wages do not go-down.
The worst mistake is cheap" paint.
1t costs from so per cent to 100, first
cost, and another in wear.
What liar cheap" isl "Put-off" is
bad-enough; cheap" is ten times
worse.

Then he paused The rugged mask
of face had not changed. But the
pupils of the half-shut eyes had sud.

Yet, second later, when Blake spoke

"Blackmail?" he said once more.

FOR SCHOOLS
After Making Temporary Arrange
ments, School Heads Outline
Plans for NextsYear.

Discussion of the overcrowded con-
ditions in Atlanta's public schools has
resulted in a determination on the
part of the Board of Education to
demand of the new Council Finance
Committee a sufficient appropriation
to prevent a repetition of similar
conditions next year. Also leading
councilmen assert that before the
new school budget is made up they
will be assured that the school dis
tricts are not so laid out that GER
tain schools are overcrowded at the
expense OF others.
Walter r. Daley. president of the
Board Of Education, said Saturday
that provisions had been made bv

Mayor Woodward charges the
Board of Education with being in

plies that the board has been ham

Personalities have been injected in
to the controversy by a bitter word

from the Fourth Ward Mr.. Kew said
he had no respect for the MAYORS
