FEAR THAT THE CHAIN LET
TIERS AROUSE.
BELIEVE IN GOOD LUCK,
AND 1T WILL COME.
BELIEVE IN BAD LUCK,
AND 1T WILL HAPPEN.
No Dark Mystery
There's no deep, dark mys-
terry about that. Belief" isn't
just a name. just a vague
notion passing through the
brain. Belief is an ACTUAL
HAPPENING. Thoughts ARE
things. Thoughts DO things.
Whenever your mind does
something, that action is as
real as, if your hands had
done something. The thoughts
that happen in you. determine
the things that happen TO
you.
When you "believe"-you ex-
pect something, you get ready
for something, you concentrate
all your forces on q certain
result. And the thing you be-
lieve, will happen. 1t may not
happen exactly as you ex-
pected it to happen. Life sends
us our answers in queer pack
ages. But you'll get your an
swer, never doubt. THAT AN
SWER YOU MADE READY IN
YOUR OWN MIND. THAT
ANSWER YOU INVITED IN
YOUR OWN HEART.
Do They Work?
And that's as true of bad an

If the millions of people who

DECORATION NOT

SOLE OBJECTIVE j.
OF USING PAINT

When you are ready to paint your
house. do not think of painting as
being merely decorative. Paint has
a real value as a protection. With
out it much of the exposed wood
and metal in your home soon would
decay. .4s
Paint is a very simple matter as
far as its composition is concerned.
Essentially it is only an oil contain
ing pigments. We all know what
an oil is. The pigment is body
of mineral matter which, upon ex-
posure, forms a cement. 1t is bound
in the oil to make a film which we
call a coat of paint. The pigment
carries the color. AS far as this IS
concerned, we might take coal OIL
chalk and brick dust expecting to
get red paint, but we would no.
realize much on our expectations
The oil used in paint has to be
OF a special nature such that when
it comes into contact with the air
or oxygen it will turn into a tough
film. For the most satisfactory re-
suits, linseed oil is necessary. When
materials oxidize, they burn. so
paint starts to decompose as soon
as it is exposed to the air. That Is
one of the reasons it has to be re-
newed at regular intervals. Just
remember that there is no substi-
tute for good linseed oil in paint.
The pigment must have a nature
such that it will unite properly with
the oil and with the various ele-
nents of which the pigment is COM
posed to make a thin, dense film
that will defy the elements for a
long time. Mere colored chalk and
the best oil would not be satisfac-
tory; neither would good pigment
and cheap oil. A satisfactory paint
is one which has high grade Oil
combined with pigment which has
known qualities of durability.
Proper Amounts Essential
To these elements are added two
others. One of them is turpentine
and the other is a dryer Turpentine
is used to thin the paint 1t makes
the paint carry over a greater dis
tance. Too much Of it, of course,
is Objectionable. The dryer is a
compound which is added to hasten
the oxidizing of the oil and thi
hardening of the pigment. If too
much dryer is added, the durability
Of the paint is seriously reduced.
The pigments that are commonly
used are carbonate of lead-'white
lead"-and zinc oxide. Sometimes
a minor quantity Of other materials
is added to ready mixed paints in
formula that manufacturers have
tested and proved.
If paint is to be mixed on the job,
it is safe only to use these well
known compounds-pure linseed oil,
pure white lead and zinc oxide, pure
turpentine and small amount OF
dryer.
No substitutes should be used for
any of these materials. In the
hande Of reputable and expert
enced painter who knows now "

CAYNOR-FARRELL
TEAM REUNITED
IN FINE PLAY

One of the best plays produced
lust following the war period. was
THE Man Who Came Back. which
was featured by long run on the
legitimate stage in New York, and
was played by more than a dozen
load companies at one time, in all
parts of the country.
Briefly it tells the story of the
young son of rich New Yorker,
whose crop of wild oats becomes SO
large that his father disowns him.
Drifting to San Francisco, the
youth falls in love with a cabaret
singer and they are about to leave
for the Orient when the man is
shanghaied on tramp steamer.
Arriving in Shanghai, he sinks
lower and lower. eventually winding
up as an opium addict. In an opium
joint he meets his former sweet
heart, also dFg addict and the
change in her appearance revolts
him so that he starts TO save her
and himself.
In Hawaii they eventually work
out their redemption but there are
"a few more hurdles to take before
the father finally welcomes them
back TO the family.
THE Man Who Came Back"
brings Janet Gaynor to the screen
again with Charles Farrell as her
team mate.
Others in the case include Ken
meth MacKenna, William Holden,
Peter Gawthorne, Ulrich Haupt and
Mary Forbes.

This must extend over chimney
breasts and under stairs, and where
ever a masonry wall joins wooden
one. II must be put on ceilings
that span wide.
Form of Insulation
OF sheet materials, the insulating
plaster bases are made from vege-
table fibers of different kinds:
Wood, cane. cornstalks and others.
To get the best value from them
they must be used in substantial
thicknesses. Whatever the thickness
used. the specifications prescribed
by the manufacturer should be fol-
lowed exactly in applying it.
The same is true of metal lath, so
far as application is concerned, and
also of sheet plaster board, another
kind of wallboard which takes the
place of the lath and the first coat
of plaster. The manufacturer s di-
rection is the guide that underlies
the expectation of good job.
