Should runs or says appear, due to
applying the lacquer too freely,
simply brush over with a we'll
filled brush and allow the finish TO
level itself. Do not attempt to fix
up with a dry brush.
As the floor is a large surface,
the work should be planned to make
the Joints or laps quickly, and end
up with the brush strokes in one
direction. Do not end with a cross
brush stroke. For best results, two
or more coats should be applied,
allowing about one hour for harden
ing between coats.
For hardwood floors where it is
desired to retain the natural color
and beauty of the wood, trans
parent brushing lacquer should be
used. Two or more coats should
be applied allowing about one hour
between coats. This clear lacquer
is adapted not only for refnishing
work, but it may also be used on
new surfaces directly over the bare
wood, over filler and stains, de-
pending on the effect desired.
Not every home, however, can
boast of hardwood floor. MANY
of the softer woods commonly used
for flooring are very durable and
may be finished in different effects
which closely approximate the ap-
pearance of hardwood floors. For
this purpose, the lacquer stains will
be found most satisfactory. These
are available in light oak, dark oak,
walnut and mahogany.
For old floors that are in very
bad condition, the colored lacquer
will be most suitable. The surface
should first be thoroughly cleaned
and all cracks filled with a special
crack and crevice filler. The floor
should then be finished with two
coats of colored lacquer of the de-
sired shade, allowing one hour for
drying between coats.
Where a higher luster is desired,
The clear finish may be applied oven
either the stain or colored lacquer,
and In such cases, the usual drying
lime of one hour should be allowed
before applying the clear finish.
These new pyroxylin finishes are
suitable for floors, as
hey dry quickly and give a smooth,
1int-like finish that is not easily
narred and not effected by steam
IF moisture, or extremes of heat

Fruit Desserts For Summer

the fruit thickens sufficiently pouI
it into the pastry-lined tin, cover witt
the top crust and bake in the usuaI
way.
Deep-dish pies are a delicious varia-
tion, whether one is using apples OF
the more summery fruits, nor is this
delicacy difficult to make. The fruit
is prepared in the same way as for
ordinary pie, using only half the guam
tity of flour. Fill baking-dish about
two thirds full of the cooked fruit,
invert a small cup in the center, and
cover with crust about twice the
thickness of the usual pie crust. When
served with cream it is doubly delic-
ious.
Another happy suggestion for fruit
pie, is that it be made with only a
bottom crust and topped with mer-
ingue or whipped cream. A yerv
great delicacy is prune pie prepared
in this way, with the fruit seeded and
strained as for prune whip and highly
seasoned with cooking sherry, over
this a layer of whipped cream.

MIR. MELLON SEEMS TO KNOW

Every once and a while something
happens which indicates that the
Secretary of the Treasury knows
pretty well what he is doing. Last
year and the year before and the
year before that Mr.. Mellon urged
a reduction of the surtax. Demo-
cratic congressman and some Re-
Dublicans were scandalized. What!
Tighten the tax burden of the rich
in this wholesale fashion? So they
Joined forces to prevent the lower
ing of the surtaX as much as Mr..
Mellon recommended, but lowered
it was until the maximum now
stands at 20 per cent.
And the result? More taxs from
the rich than ever! In 1924 there
were seVenty-five persons report
ing net income in excess of S1,00O,-
900. In 1925, according to the re-
ports sent in a year ago and now
made public, the seventy-five had
considerably more than doubled,
rising to 2O7.
Mr.. Mellon had argued that the
lowering of the surtax would be re-

But the master financial minds were

be otherwise? They would never

WHAT ALL FARMERS SHOULD
KNOW

Tiling farm land will not always
correct the evils of poor drainage
Open bitches sometimes will prove
beneficial on soils when tile may
be, ineffective. This is true of those
soil types which have subsoils con-
sisting Of dense, impervious clay
which closes around the tile, seal
ing them as with paraffin or wax.
The simplest plan to provide a
more or less permanent pasture Of
sweet clover is to permit the crop
to go to seed. After several years
the surface soil becomes so full of
sweet clover seed that a volunteer
crop appears each year. Fields of
this kind, which have been in sweet
clover continuously for 10 years or
more years, are not uncommon.
Soil surveys help farmers to de-
termine what crops and cultural
practices are adapted to their lands.
Furthermore, an acquaintance with
the important soil types of their
locality together with their correct
designations assists farmers in un-
derstanding the best ust of fertil-
lzers, and the cultural and crop
variety tests carried on by the ex-

The soy-bean has within the asst

importance in the United States.
The plant can be raised successful
ly in any climate suitable to corn

for hay, grain and pasture, and with
corn as silage. During the past
few years oil mills in the Corn
Belt and in some of the Southern

and that the zone in the United
States today.
| confess to a sense of disap-
pointment because of the lack
Of frankness shown at this
meeting, and that a denial
should have been entered to-
the quotations from the govern
ors, which have now been con-
firmed. 1t was also unequivoc-
ally stated by the representa-
ives of the Standard Oil Co.
that the tank wagon price Cor
price at which gasoline is dcliv-
cred to the filling station) was
uniform in all of the Eastern
states, excepting South Caro-
lima, which he acknowledged
had a one cent lower rate.
Those familiar with the oper-
alton of the gasoline business
know that this statement is in
accurate for the reason that re-
bates are nearly universally
given by the oil importers, and
to the extent of such rebates
tank wagon prices, of course,
are reduced.
There is, therefore, no uni
form tank wagon price.
because if a rebate is refunded
to the purchaser of gasoline at
the end of a certain period, it
operates as a reduction in the
original purchase. The Stand
ard Oil Co. of New Jersey and
associated companies not only
are the largest importers of gas
cline, but also operate retail
stations throughout Virginia
and other states. By reason of
a price-fixing clause incorpor-
ated in contracts of alleged com
peting companies, the Stand
ard Oil Co. today has a mono
polistic control over the whole
sale and retail salce of gasoline,
which is, in my judgement, con
trary to the Federal law.
l have called this matter to
the alienation of the president,
who directed an investigation
of the gasoline industry eight
cen months ago. In a letter re-
ceived today he states he has
referred my recent letter to the
Federal Trades Commission,
but does not refer to my re-
quest that he order a prompt
report, although . eighteen
months have elapsed since the

fear the Virginia people have
little to hope from this Federal

alton in Virginia to the extent
Of one cent per gallon means
