EFFECT OF COLOR UPON THE
DURABILITY OF PAINT

Property owners who may have I'M
der consideration the painting of
dwellings and other structures should
remember hat more durable results
are obtained when tinted paints are
used. Permanent coloring materials
which have been ground by machine
into a high grade white paint base
have the effect of preventing "chalk-
ing" and Checking" two defects
which are often observed when white
paints are used.

TTAVE you ever watched a
great, ocean-bound ship ly-
~ ing at anchor in the harbor
and wondered at its massiveness?
A tug boat fastened to it could
make a sudden pull, and break the
great chain or tow line, and not
move it an inch. Yet you could
take a half inch rope and, with your
own hands, turn the great ship
completely around by pulling stead
lily and with sufficient patience.
The movement would be slow, of
course, and it would take time and
strength, and infinite determination
on your part, but the final result
in the end would be assured.
The ship could very we'll be COM
pared with yourself, girl friend of
mine, who, growing impatient with
your surroundings and fretting be-
cause the course of your life is not
changed swiftly enough to keep
pace with your over-fevered dreams.
Don't jerk and fret with your
self. You have been worrying for
months, maybe for years because
things don't happen-as you think
they ought to happen. You have
put a lot of useless and harmful
material into that brain of yours.
You have devoted your girl thoughts
the thoughts that should have
turned into making a real and fine
woman of yourself-into kicking
and rebelling at the fate that has
apparently held you to a job that
you don't like, and which you think
is wasting youth and beauty (if
you are vain enough to think you
have any, and your vitality.
You are discouraged because the
world doesn't change over night for
you, because you wake up to find
the same kind of a drab morning,
and the same jangle from the hate
full alarm clock ringing in your
ears. You lose sight of the bigger
vision, the things beyond your i'm
mediate horizon, because you are
growing so assiduously as you force
yourself out of bed, and go through
with the details of your dressing
that you have no time to look up
and beyond, and see the wonderful
horizon that could be yours for the
asking.
! know it is hard to convince
yourself that things exist which We
can not see and measure with our
eyes. That is why we fail at sue
cess when so many others attain it.
Success is simply a matter of seeing
farther than our human, normal
eyes can function. That is a hard
thought to grasp. l realize that,
and I wish 1 could make it simpler,
but I can't. You, who are discour-
aged, who think you have come to
the end of your road, who can see
only the gray, bleak horizon of more
days, and months, and years stretch
ing ahead like the others have been,
will find it almost impossible to get
what l am trying to tell you with
all honesty and sincerity-for I am
not trying to preach to you, and
give you lessons.
l am doing my best to make you
see those things you have missed,
as I see them, and as I know hun
dreds of other girls have come to
see them, through the guidance and
counsel I have been able to give

"PAlNT PAYS FOR ITSELF"

Query.-I nav a quantity of old paint
on hand. Can | use it for the first coal 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 1t, do 1t the justice of a good job.

Query.-What do you think of paint as
an investment, aside from the appearance
it lends? Does it really PAY to paint a
house regularly. say. every three or four
years?
Answer.-Good paint properly ap-
piled when needed is the main thing in
making a house last long and well. A
house worth $500 can be painted at a
cost of about $125. In 60 years that
house will need about Is paintings,
the total cost of which will be 81, 1895.
Left without paint, such a house would
fall into complete ruin in 80 years. So
taking 60 years as a basis for our fig
ures we find that with paint a home
will last that time in good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the end of 30 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost, without paint, $1,000 for
a home ready to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? AS the old
Dutch adage says:

ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLEXlNG PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-Ths 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?
Answe c.-It Is learned that such a
plan is in effect and IS linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works of wal 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-
.st%rictions are now off, and there is
scarcely a town, a city, a factory, a
dwelling or a farm that does not reveal
a 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 cos of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect a higher bill in
deterioration and decay.

II believe by carrying on such a

in way perpetuated and will give
proof of its efficiency for patriotic work
in peace as we'll as in war. l think
that such a campaign properly car
ried on in each county will help very
greatly in the sale of these securities.
Increased sales will relieve the
Treasury Department Of just that

banks and will release just that much
money for industrial development. I
believe that it will result in calling
