Query.-What do you think of paint as
an investment. aside from the appearance
it lends? Does it really PAY TO paint
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.
house worth $500 can be painted at
cost Of about S125. In 60 years that
house will need about Is paintings,
the total cost of which will be $l,S95.
Left without paint, such 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:

LABOR FACING
new SITUATION
Great Changes Brought About by
Country's Return to Peace
Conditions.
DECREASE IN FAMILY WAGE
Of Women and Children
From the Ranks of Paid Workers
Caused DecIine-Large and Increas-
ing Volume of Unemployment.
Ely n. G. MOULTON.

One of the most significant devel-
opments of the war was the general
increase in the standard Of living
among the labOring classes in this
country. Let me make myself clear;
this increase in real wages, as opposed
TO money wages, was not universal, but
ii was widespread during 1913. The
cost of living rose rapidly, it is true,
but wages rose even more rapidly
among large portion of the labOring
population. This statement may Occa-
sion surprise to those who have not re-
fiected carefully on the situation, for
there is a commonly accepted theory
that prices always rise more rapidly
than wages. This is doubtless general
ly true so far as wage rates per day
or hour are concerned, though during
the war there We're great numbers of
idly than prices.
But the wage rate is not the signifi-
cant factor in the wage situation. The
important thing is the aggregate fam
demands of the war in the first place
provided steady work for everybody;
300 days a year instead Of only 200 or
$50, as In normal periods. Without
any increase in wage rates here is a
Is to so per cent increase In annual
wages.
In the second place the great de-
mand for labor drew additional MEM
bers of nearly every laboring family
into the ranks Of paid workers. The
wives, the grown daughters and even
the children went out to work, with
a resulting substantial increase in the
family wage.
In the third place there was double
pay for overtime work. This feature
alone was of great Importance. think
II Is not putting it too strongly to say
that the Liberty bond investments Of
war workers could be paid for out OF
overtime done, with something left
for increased consumption.
The results of these increased FAM
lily wages were manifest in a great In
crease in consumption. More convent
ences and luxuries of life were bought
by the masses In 1918 than ever be-
fore. Indeed, it was common knowl'
edge in trade circles that increased
consumption among "rich war labor
ers" was fully offsetting the decreased
consumption among the salaried and
well-to-do classes. 1t was indeed q
royal time for labor.
| But what Is the situation nowl
| First, overtime work and pay were
abolished Immediately after the sign
| ing of the armistice. Second, many
women and children are withdrawing
from the ranks of paid workers, with
a resulting decline in the family wage
| Third, many discharged war workers
and discharged soldiers are accepting
peace-time jobs at substantial reduc
lions in pay. Fourth, there is large
and steadily increasing volume of un
employment. The net result OF al
these forces Is great reduction In
the purchasing power of the masses
and hence in the demand for the prod
ucts of ndustry.-Chicago Daily News

QUE STIONN AIR E
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLExING 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 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 IS 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 he acute if normal condi-
ditioDs 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 a town. a city, a factory,
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 he lower
That is not logical. No matter what
it 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 a higher bill in
deterioration and decay.

EFFECT OF COLOR UPON THE
DURABILITY OF PAINT.

Property owners who may have un-
der consideration the painting OF
dwellings and other structures should
remember that 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.

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma
terials, which may be obtained through
the application of paint constitutes a
most vital means Of furthering the con-
servation of our natural resources. 1t
is, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep of any commu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets Of In
dia rubber would not be as well protect
ed from decay as a structure coated
with a good oil paint. This is due to
the fact that a sheet Of rubber is not
so durable or as waterproof as a thin
dried film Of paint. The latter mate
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A square foot Of such a
film upon a wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet It will beautify and
protect a dollars worth of surface for
many years. This is low rate Of in
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds.
posts. fences, stock enclosures, wagons,
implements, windmills and other struc-
lures, whether of wood, iron or cement,
should be preserved, through the use
of paint, from rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes. Colored paints will be
found the most seviceable, the cOloring
matter in the paint adding from two
to three years to the life of the coating

Query-I have a quantity of old paint

Answer.-On no account should old

Old paint in that condition is best used
on a fence, brickwork or tinwork. If
you value your barn sufficiently to
