A Message From The Grave
 Reprinted From America, January 2l

realize the worth to his country men of the example which as c private citizen he set them in these days of changing and lowering standards.
 The character of the man is well revealed in his last public message, spoken over the radio on New Years day.
 For the year 1033, it seems to me that we need cooperation and charity. The resources of our country are great enough to meet our requirements, # we help one another. We should CO., operate to promote all kinds of business activity. We should do what we can in the way of char fly. If all that is implied in these two words could be put in oper- ation, not only would our eco- nomic conditions begin to i'm. prove, but our destitute would secure ample relief. can think of no better resolution for tho new year than to work in these directions.
 May his w-countrymen pay him their last homage by needing his counsel.

RATTTY THE TWENTIETH
(New Haven Journal.Courler)

(New Haven Journal Courler)
 Despite all indications that argu. ments may bc expected over other measures, the Norris "lame duck" Amendment should provoke little opposition whom 1t comes before tho Connecticut General Assembly ncxt week and should be accorded prompt approval. This Twentieth amendment is one upon which both republicans and democrats may agree without reservations. It pro. vides c moro change in the con- stitutionai routine. The inaugura- ton date of future presidents and congresses would Do moved for. ward from March to January. The troublesome interregnum Of four months would be cut to less than two; no shoft session would bo hold on presidential years; congression. al lame- ducks and conbeqiently the entire country would be relieved
 This amendmont was submitted to the states less than q year ago and seems about, to establish c record for rapid approval. some thirty-one states have rushed 10 express appreciation. If Connecti. cut delays, while 1t may rogister ondorsement, it may Do too late to be in at the kill. The present race towards completion of the consti' tutional amendment process has undoubtedly been .spurred by tho spectacle now being staged fn Washington. Since this lame duck session will almost certainly be the last, the component members seem to desire to finish with Q burst of most efficient limping.

While on this topic of constitutional amendments, in which interest is increasing due to the rapid manner in which the lame- duck amendment is being ratified and the threat of a prohibition repeal amendment we should not forget the child labor amend- ment. Nobody seems to know just where it is now, but it is on the records that only six states have ratified it. It was proposed by the 68th Congress to the several states in 1924. There was no time limit set in the amendment so the measure is still before any state legislature that cares to consider 1t. Twenty.dx states have rejected it, among them Connecticut so it doesn't look as if the required thirty-six necessary for adop- ton would ever be found. Still you never can tell. Some upheava in our midst may cause people to believe that it is a good idea for Congress to have the power to limit. regulate. and prohibit the labor of persons under s years of age. In that event it would be a simple matter for number of the states to reverse their previous decision and approve the amendment. But by the time this has happened we wouldn't Dc surprised to find q couple of new amendments already added to the Constitution so the child labor amendment can never become the 20th. That is fofegone conclusion.

A town would be included in a new na- tional historical park under terms of bill introduced in the Senate last week by Sena- tor Barbour of New Jersey. The town is Morristown, intimately linked with the mil- itary career of General George Washington. Much adjacent land, including several his- toric spots and buildings. is also mentioned for the park which would be under the con- trol of the Secretary of Interior. Mcrristown might find itself another District of Colum- bia, with no presidential or state voting priv ileges if this happened.

Signs Of Recovery

One evidence of belief in economic revival in lo33 is the news that 90 per cent of the building devoted to agriculture and foods at Chieago's World Fair is already rented and that eastern manufacturers are planning to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for exhibits They would not rent space and arrange for expensive displays purely for love of Chicago. Either the packers of the Century of Progress affair are unusually good statesmen or the prospective exhibitors believe they have satisfactory grounds for hope.
 lt might be interesting to make list of the new signs of economic recovery as they appear, observe how fast they accumulate and finally how soon their promise is full filled. It should be a game as rcassurng as watching the gradual lengthening of day. light now that the winter solstiee is past.

SATISFACTION SEEN
| IN PAINTED WALLS.
Method of Decoration Com
bines Beauty, Economy
and Sanitation.

Painted walls and ceilings combine
beauty, economy and sanitation, and
paint on plaStered surfaces is now con-
sidered q highly satisfactory type OF
wall treatment for Office. home or fac
tory, according to authorities in the
industry.
After an exhaustive study Of proper
preparation of wall surfaces, the Bu-
reau of Standards has just completed a
report designed to forestall unsatisfac-
tory results when paint Is applied to
plaster.
Naturalization Needed.
Discussing the occasional taking of
oil paint from plaster, the bureau says
that plaster should be neutralized, be-
cause of the presence Of free lime, and
should be thoroughly dried before the
application of oil paint. Water COM
ing through plaster" the report says,
lis more destructive to oil paint than
water coming through wood. since a
certain amount of hydrated lime IS
always present in plaster. This makes
the water alkaline, and alkaline water
tends to destroy (sponify) the oil in a
paint film"
Plaster" the report continues.
should be allowed to dry for long
time-even under favorable weather
conditions-before ordinary oil paints
are applied The demand Of owner or
builder for haste sometimes results in
paint being applied to plaster that is
still wet.
IF heavy paint coatings are to be
applied" the bureaus report says, the
plaster should be thoroughly dry. The
surface should then be slightly rough
ened by sandpapering. Dust thoroughly
to remove all particles of plaster which
may have been freed Then apply a
size coat of water-resisting varnish
which has been thinned with turpentine
or mineral spirits. After this Is dry, use
first coat of paint containing con-
siderable boiled oil. Apply only enough
coats to give the desired appearance.
Special Primers Made.
Special primers for plaster surfaces
have recently been developed. They are
called suction primers and consist of
a small amount of very opaque pigment
in vehicle which penetrates only
slightly into porous surfaces. These Spe-
cial priming paints are said to prevent.
to a certain extent, the variation OF
gloss and color due to an uneven alb
sorption of paint by the plaster. They
also help to prevent wall cracks In
finished coatings.
When the desired appearance is OBJ
tanned by the use Of an oil paint on
plaster. a durable finish free from flax
ing may be assured" the bureaus re-
port suggests
Painted wall surfaces are economical
because they are durable and may be
refnished inexpensively. according to
leaders in the American paint, varnish
and lacquer industries. Recent labora-
tory tests. it is pointed out, have proved
that paint is one Of the most sanitary
and most practical of all wall finishes

Stains in Parquet.
@. What should be used for remov-
ing dark stains from parquet floors
that were sanded about three years
ago?-J. E. R.
A. Presuming your floors are Of oak,
used mostly for parquet floors, care
should be used in applying any solu-
tions for cleaning purposes. Oak
floors are readily darkened by strong
alkakine solutions, such as strong soaps,
alkaline salts, or the too free use Of
water. Where the wood is badly stained
or discolored, bleaches (such as oxaIic
acid solution) may be used or the floor
may be scraped or machine sanded.
The application OF alcohol or turpen-
tine, rubbed with steel wool, also has
been found satisfactory in removing
stains. However, it is advisable to con-
suit a reputable tradesman on this
work If you are not familiar with 1t.
