KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL

BECAUSE the electric power INDUS
trv has had a tremendous job to per-
form, namely, furnish power anu
light to the most progressive coun-
trv on the globe, it has had to grow
rapidly. Little companies coulu mo-
have furnished such a service ana
kept ahead of the demand OF con-
tinuously reduced rate to the con-
sumner.
The result is that the baneful eye
of socialism is now focused on cleo
trio mower development-it has been
successful, it has furnished unparal-
leled service, it has been able to pay
a fair return to its stockholders, II
has paid hundreds Of million in tax
es to the government, therefore, ac-
cording to the advocates of govern
ment ownership, it should be de-
stroyed as a private institution anu
turned into a tax-eXempt, bureau
cratic department of government.
The electric companies and the
investors in the power industry
would naturally suffer under such
program, but the great point to be
remembered is this, while the fight
for public ownership is temporarily
directed against the power indus
try, if it can be taken over and plac-
ed under political control, the pres
sure of politics will then become
greater to take over other lines OF
industry.
An attempt is really being made
to change the very foundation
structure Of our government. The
public should not be blinded by the
cry that the present drive Of social
ism is to destroy the power trust,
for there can be no power trust I'M
der our laws-the real drive is to
destroy the right to private owner
ship of industry-not all at once
but slowly, piece by piece.
Let government govern, and not
enter into competition with its pri-
vate citizens and industries that
supply the revenue and the incen-
tive to maintain government itself.
Why initiate European standards
from which our forefathers broke
away in disbust $50 years ago.-The
Manufacturer.

PAINT MAKEUP
FACTS NEEDED FOR
INTELLIGENT BUYING
By Gertrude Woodcock


To make an intelligent purchase
of any kind it goes without saying
that some knowledge about the COM
modify you are buying is essential.
In the case of a chemical product
such as paint or varnish, the con-
sumner finds it difficult to get this
knowledge. While the detailed facts
of it's makeup must remain for the
| chemist, a few fundamental facts
are entirely comprehensive to the
layman, and are helpful to him both
in buying and using paint.
There are two requirements for
satisfactory paint. First it must be
of good quality, and second it must
be the right paint for the purpose.
AS for quality, the safest 5uide is to
choose the product of a reputable
manufacturer. The second requisite
involves more. For while there are
floor paints for floors, wall paints
for walls, and exterior paints Tor
exteriors, etc., there is still WITHIN
each of these classes considerable
variety from which the consumer
must choose. Some knowledge or
the materials used for paint and the
purpose served by each should help
him in making an intelligent choice.
Paint is composed of pigment We
hicle, thinner, and drier. The pig
ments commonly used are Whlte
lead. zinc oxide, lithophone, etc.
While the hiding power of any OF
these is good, that of lithophone is
the greatest. Zinc oxide is USED
where pure white or delicate tints
are required. It is also valuable in
making a hard-wearing surface, ana
in retarding the .chalking tendency
of white lead.
The vehicle is a drying oil which
binds the dry pigment powder to-
gether and to the surface; turpen-
tine, benzine, mineral spirits, etc.
are used as thinners to make the
paint penetrate, flow freely, and
spread out smoothly; while the drl-
er serves the purpose its name ind1-
Gates. Linseed oil is generally pre-
ferred as the binder, both because OF
it's moderate price and the satls-
factory results which it gives.
The proportion of drying oil and
thinner used determines whether a
paint is fat rglossy. Linseed oil
and most varnishes dry with gloss,
while a large proportion of turpen-
tine or benzine gives a fiat finish,
since these substances evaporate en-
tirely. Enamel is glossy because the
vehicle used is varnish. 1t is impor-
tant to know that enamel is more
durable (for interiors) than paint,
and that a glossy paint is more dur
able than a fiat one. The hiding
power of fiat paint, however, is bet
ter and for this reason it is general
ly used for undercoats, whatever the
finish desired. Enamels and gloss
paints are especially practical for a
surface that must be frequently
washed, such as the walls and wood
work of kitchens and bathrooms.
For exteriors durability is even
more important. For this reason it
is well to know that earth pigments
are generally more permanent when
exposed to weather and sunlight
than chemical colors; and that tint
ed paint is more durable than white
paint. The principal earth pigments
are yellow ochre, siennas, umbers,
Venetian red, red iron oxides, and
"earth" browns.
Varnishes are used both for ex-
teriors and interiors. They are
