THE

PAINTED WALLS GAINING
FAVOR IN MODERN HOMES

That painted walls have come to
stay is a fact assured by the COM
bined advantages which they offer
beauty and variety of finish,
economy, sanitation. They are the
decree of common sense as well
\ as of fashion. Satisfactory from
j every point of view if we'll con-
structed and finished, the matter
Of their preparation is of supreme
importance.
Although many substitute wall
covering materials. designed to
lower cost of construction, have
appeared in recent years, nothing
has yet been devised which is as
satisfactory as plaster.
The base of the plaster is the
ffirst matter to be considered
Cracks, due to shrinkage and swell

which if allowed to remain, will
mar the final finish with spots or

sulphate, about eight ounces to a
gallon of water, applied with a
brush, will prevent this disastrous
effect.
Next. the walls should be sand
papered and any cracks or small
holes which may be present should
be filled with plaster of paris. The
surface is then quite smooth and
even. But because of its porous
nature it is not yet prepared to

of the oil, leaving the pigment on
the surface In such way that it
would soon dust off. Even the ap-
plication of two or three coats will
fail to produce a durable or an
even finish. For this reason it is
necessary to prime the plaster, the
most successful preparation for
this purpose being boiled linseed
oil or good wall varnish. Under
10 condition should a cheap So
called sizing varnish" be used.
This process is also essential for
wall board, even more pourous
than plaster. In this case, however,
the treatment with zinc sulphate
is to be omitted, as there is no free
lime present.
The walls are now ready to be
painted. Three coats are always
advisable for new work, and will
prove an economy. The first coat
should be sharp, that it, long in
turpentine and short in oil. The
second should contain large pro-
portion of oil. To insure satisfac-
tory results it is imperative in this,
as in any other paint job, that the
work should not be rushed. Three
full days should be allowed for the
drying of each coat. For the finnl
coat considerable variety is offered,
the choice depending upon the
type of finish desired. Color, glossy
or flat surface, and decoration
such as stippling or stenciling are
ito be considered.
In the case of repainting, the
walls must be thoroughly cleansed
and then rinsed with clean water,
1t formerly painted or calcimined
they should be brushed with wire
brush to remove all particles. In
any event the results will be more
assuredly satisfactory if the surface
is gone over with sandpaper. Sub
sequent treatment is the same as
for new work.

State Prepares
g" To Convict Coen

HANFORD, Cal, Dec. 10. - The
state today prepared to set into mo-
ton the legal machinery with which
it hopes to send Perry Allen Coen to
the galows for the murder of George
NJ. Artist and his wife. Edna.
District Attorney j. w. Ferguson
was engaged in drawing up his case
on the basis of Coen's own confess
sion that he dubbed the Artists
over their heads as they slept in
bed Sunday morning.
A preliminary hearing for Cocn
had not been set today.
A tangible motive for the Staying
was still matter of conjecture to-
day despite Coen's assertions that
the attack was a plot to "put the
old folks to sleep" so that he might
elope with their l6 year old daugh-
ter, Isabel.
Isabel has persistently denied
completely. A coroner's jury re-
fused to name her in its verdict
which recommended a. first degree
murder charge against Coen. Isa-
bel is not held.
