Query.-What do you think Of paint as
an investment, aside from the appearance
it lends? Does it really PAY to paint 9
house regularly. say, every three or four
years?
Answer.-Good paint properly ap-
piled when needed is the main thing In
making house last long and well. A
house worth $500 can be painted at a
cost of about $125. In go years that
house will need about Is paintings
the total cost of which will be 81, 1896
Left without paint, such house would
fall into complete ruin In 80 years. So
taking 60 years as basis for eur fg-
ures we find that with paint home

Bill introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf---The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South---Will SpenS Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.

The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
Questionnaires brought to light a con-
dition so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
row introducing bills to promote the
edNcation of illiterates throughout the
length and breadth of America. Sena'
tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro
duced a bill in the Senate ITO promote
the education of illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
lish language, and other resident per
sons of foreign BIRTH" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead'
ct Alabama.
The introduction Of this important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because of its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne a
reputation for illiteracy out OF proper
ton to that of the rest of the coun'
try Just what steps win be immedi-
ately taken as the result Of the passage
of the education OF illiterates bill at
Washington cannot be stated 'at this
time. but, certainly, practical meas
ures will be put into operation for the
establishment of schools in both rural
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that OF
the government are at work on the
same problem-the establishment OF
schools in the heart of tenement dis
tricts and rural communities being a
matter of first Importance with all OF
them. One of the most significant
movements of the times in this con
uection is that of the Centenary Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,

Query--I have quantity of old paint
on hand. Can use it for the first coat in
repainting my barn?
Answer.-On no account should old
paint which has become fat be used
for printing 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 good job.

QUE STIONN AIR E
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PER9LExING PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-The government has launched
an educational campaign to encourage
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 is learned that such a
plan is in effect and>:s linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways of peace.
Employment must be found, in the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
ton has been interrupted. There is no
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, imposed 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 is
scarcely town, a city, a factory, a
dwelling or a farm that does not reveal
crying need for prompt attention.
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
1t 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 higher bill in
deterioration and decay.
