SIX COMMON FINISHES
FOR HOUSE WALLS
Kalsomine, Flat Paint, Gloss,
Enamel, Wall Paper and Fabrics
Discussed.

The commonly used finishes for
walls and ceilings are six in number;
kalsomine and other dry colors which
are mixed with water, fat paint,
gloss paint, enamel, wall paper and
painted fabrics.
Each finish has it's special advan-
tage and artistic effects can be pro-
duced with all. In the use of paint
it is possible to obtain the precise
tint wanted. while fabric and paper
add the interest of pleasing texture
to that of color.
Water paints are inexpensive and
easy to put on. They will adhere to
plaster, wood, canvas, wall board or
builders felt and can even be applied
over old wall paper in order to avoid
the expense of repapering. For sat
isfactory results two coats are usu-
ally needed.
Flat paints have a soft and velvety
appearance, and. like the gloss and
enamel paints, have the advantage Of
being washable. They cost some-
what more than water paints but not
so much as enamel.
From a decorative standpoint q
dull, lusterless wall finish is desir-
able, and therefore the use of gloss
and enamel paints for walls is lin
tied largely to bathrooms and kitch-
ems. Enamel is. of course, the easiest
of all to keep clean.
Paint is more durable than cheap

grades of wall paper, which is apt
to fade, but those of fine qualities
are remarkably durable. Wall paper
has the advantage of texture and
pattern-where pattern is desirable.
Covering the walls with muslin or
canvas before hanging will greatly
prolong its life by protecting it from
cracks In the plastering.
Painted fabrics combine several of
the desirab BILE features of paper, paint
and wall lining Its heavy cloth
foundation prevents cracks from
showing through. the painted surface
gives an effect similar to that of a

success. 1t proved to be good, clean,
wholesome evening of fun and enter

the pep, supported by her chums, Hell

erite Corum as Margaret Grey. The

parently countrified lady, was realis-
tically portrayed by Gladys Coy. Jose
phine DeMerchant played the part Of
the mother, Mrs. hurry.
The ceremonial of the Camp Fire
was appreciated especially as being
instructive and beautiful. 1t gave a
splendid opportunity for all to become
acquainted with the ideals Of Camp
Fire. Helen Peck was received as a

WEST GRANT DISTRICTS
DEFEAT CONSOLIDATION

BLOOTIINGTON, Wis.-The Leamy,
Thornton, Brown and Red school dis
tricts voted at a special meeting in
each. district Tuesday evening on the
proposition of consolidating the four
districts. 1t was defeated in two dis
tricts and carried in the other two.
The Red district voted against it Ii
to %, and the Thornton district voted
against, s to TO- The vote was nearly
unanimous in favor of the plan in
both the Leamy and the Brown dis
tricts. Of course defeat in but one
district would have defeated the en-
tire plan. 1t is quite evident that
sentiment concerning consolidation
west of us is not as unanimous as
some of its opponents have believed,
for the proposition voted on Tuesday
evening was in really a move against
real consultations counter attack
to avoid it.
We regret to state that the county
superintendent of schools, Mr.. Ralph.
attended the meeting in the Brown
district and urged the adoption of the
plan We also wonder who gave this
weeks Lancaster Herald the informal
ton that the consolidation plan had
carried Record.
The Record will please note the
Herald said nothing of the kind. The
Herald simply said there was an cleo
ton and outlined the issue. This pa
per came out before the vote was
counted and consequently the same
could not be printed)
