Query.-What dc you think OF paint rs
an Investment, aside from the appearance
1t lends? Does 1t really PAY to paint q
house regularly, say. every three or four
years?
Answer.-GOod paint properly ap-
piled when needed Is the main thing b.
making a house last long and well. A
house worth $500 can be painted at q
cost of about $l25. In 60 years that
house will need about Is paintings,
the total cost Of which will be 1885.
Left without paint, such a house would
fall into complete ruin in 80 years. So
taking 90 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, S4,315. With
out paint the house would. have to be
rebuilt at the end of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the siNtieth year ar
rived. Cost. without paint, $4,000 for
a home ready TO fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? AS the old
Dutch adage says:

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 upkcep 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 n 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 a continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles Of metallic. wear resisting
pigments. A square foot Of such a
Aim upon a wooden surface costs less
than u penny, yet It will beautlfy and
protect a dollars worth Of surface for
many years. This is a low rate Of In
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outhuildings, 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 sevlceable, the celorlng
matter In the paint adding from two
10 three years to the life Of the coating.

"PAINT PAYS FOR ITSELF"

Ouery.-I nave a quantity Of old paint

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
IN a fence, brickwork or tinwork. II
you value your barn sufficiently to
paint 1t, do 1t the justice Of a good job.

U. s. Invents Anti. Rust dope"

Incident to the war, the government
has faced the problem that has 80 long
proved battling TO commercial con-
Germs Of protecting iron and steel from
rust. In an attempt to solve this fed
eral specialists have perfected various
forms Of protective cOatings. In this
connection 1t may be pertinent to ask
whether commercial uses will not be
found also for the so-called "dopeS
which the government has invented to
be applied to airplane wings and which
are possessed Of valuable weather-rS-
sisting and tireproOf qualities.

EFFECT OF COLOR UPON THE
DURABILITY OF PAINT.

Property n who may have I'M
der consideration the painting Of
dwellings and other structures should
remember that more durable results
are obtained when tinted paints are
used. Permanent colorlng 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.

5Rain&Up''
OUESTIO 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 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 Is linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must he turned back from
works of u to the ways of peace.
Employment must be found, In the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
tlon has been interrupted. There Is no
real surplus Of labor in the United
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute II 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 of, and there Is
scarcely a town, a city, a factory, a
dwelling or a farm that does not reveal
q crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action eT-
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 cos 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.
