Filling Floor Cracks

For filling cracks in floors pre-
paratory to painting, if they are
less than a quarter-inch in width,
take pure linseed oil and whiting
putty and knead into a stiff mass
with some dry white lead, tinting
with little dry color to match the
floor. Pencil the cracks with boiled
oil and press the mixture in firmly
with a putty knife. Rough edges
may be smoothed over by wetting
the knife with turpentine.

offered new type of carburetor
by the Indiana Carburetor Com

The carburetor is designed to get
the most from present day fuel and
to adapt a car to today's speed and
traffic situations. 1t employs the
down draft principle.
1t is pointed out that gasoline
now in use is superior to that

Weather for Vanishing

Varnish will give the best results
if applied when the temperature is
between 10 and 80 degrees Fahren-
heit. Good ventilation is essential
Care should be taken, however, to
keep extremely warm drafts of air
from striking the freshly vanished
surface. The area to be vanished
should be clean, dry and absolutely
free from dust.

Don't Pile Paint Coats

The practice OF piling number

Protect All Surfaces

Protection of concrete, cement and
brick surfaces just is as necessary
as the protection of wood and
metal. When cement, concrete and
brick structures are coated prop
erly with paint, moisture is pre-
vented from going through the walls.
Thus, cold and damp are kept from
the interior and a substantial saw
ing in fuel bills results.

Allow Plaster to Dry

When the interior Of a structure
has been freshly plaStered, allow
plaster to dry thoroughly before ex-
terror painting work is started. If
this caution is not observed, the
heat of the sun will draw the mois-
ture from the plaster through the
wood and cause the paint film to
blister and peel.

Printing Coat Important

Preparation Of the printing coat
in painting new wood surfaces or
previously implanted old wood sur
faces is of utmost Importance. Re-
sistance and durability of succeed
ing or finishing coats depend en-
tirely on the quality Of paint used
for the rriming coat.

Scale Is Proposed

These machines measure the noise
In decibels, which are units of
sound intensity, but there is some
confusion as to which of the three
existing decibel scales is to be &C
cepted as the standard.
The Acoustical Society of America
and the American Standards Asso-
citation are considering the adoption
of a scale that has as its zero a
sound energy of one 100000, 000,-

meter. On this scale, the noise of
heart beat of one person in
soundproof room would be ten de-
cibels, whereas an airplane engine
and propeller would have a noise in
tensity of from 10 to 1875 decibels.

Perfect NelU Methods TO
Measure Volume of Noise

The practical work of noise mea-
surfing is usually the settling Of
disputes. A landlord and tenant
may disagree about the noiSiness
of an apartment, an architect and
manufacturer of sound absorbing
materials may differ about the need
or effectiveness of treatment of Of
fees. Machines Of the utmost &C
curacy are demanded to measure
the noise.
Two Methods Developed
Within the last few years, two
new methods Of noise measurement
have been developed: The audio-
meter method, and the acousti-
meter method or the method of
electrical conversion. The former
method used the ear to compare the
unknown noise to synthetic noise
produced by a comfortable instru-
ment.
This instrument is being displaced
rapidly by the acoustimeter where
the noise is picked up by micro
phone. The noise energy falling on
the microphone is electrically am
plif1ed by a known amount and is
measured on an electrical meter in
terms of current, voltage or power,
which are then converted into de-
cibel units.

Wall St. PrOv0kes War of Japan Against
U.S.. S. R. to Gain Advantages in Pacific

WASHINGTON, July 14,-Deliber-
ately provoking Japan to war
against the Union of Socialist So
Wet Republics, while Wall Street pre-
pares to take the dominant hand in
the Pacific, is one of the outstanding
phases of the Roosevelt war policy.
This is shown clearly in the Off
cially inspired articles of William
Phillips Simms, Scripps- Howard for
eign editor in Washington.
1t is the object Of the Roosevelt re-
gime to foster the Japanese provoca-
lions against the U.S.S.R., stimulat-
ing them to active war outbreaks in
which its chief imperialist rival, ia
pan, will be weakened. At the same
time the ultimate goal of war against
the workers fatherland would be
achieved.
"a new storm is brewing in the
Far East which may rock the world"
begins Si1nms's article. Outlining the
path for Japanese imperialism, which
would be acceptable to- Roosevelt,

Roosevelt Plots < War
in Secret Meets
of Powers

NEW YORK-"Our next war for
peace" is the title of an article by
Martin S DINNERS in the current
issue of "The New Outlook" edited
by Alfred E. Smith, a leader of the
Democratic Party, telling of the
secret and rapid preparations by
Wall Street for a new war in the
Pacific.

formed" says SOmmers who was
correspondent in the Far East
for number of years, that when
former Premier Edouard Herriot,
of France, and Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald, of Great
Britain, called at the White House
to discuss debts recently, one of
the things the President asked
them both was what the course of
France and England would be in
the event of an American-Japan-
ese war.
This phase Of the conferences
was not revealed at the time, but,
as a subject most vital to this
country, it was discussed at length
and in secret at the White
House."
While Roosevelt was telling the
workers he was discussing the ques-
ton of economic agreements, he was
seeking war alliances.
Certainly the subject of wal
against the Soviet Union, and the
relation of the U. S. S. R. to the
planned war of American imperial
ism came up, but what the discus
sions or decisions were on it are the
dead secret of Roosevelt and the
other government leaders.
Second To None
Thinking of this war in the Pa
cifc, Roosevelt began immediatel!
to spend hundreds of millions fol

Swanson declared that the United
States would build navy sec
ond to none," capable of giving
terrific pounding"
Not at all behind times, the Jap
anese butchers proceeded to rapit
war preparations.
AS part of these war preparation
in the Pacific, the Roosevelt govern
ment lent 100000 to the Chang
Kai Shek government. The first us'
of this money is to carry out thu
sixth anti-Communist drive in Chin;

LONDON, July 14.-The effore to
keep up the appearance of some form
of life, however feeble, in the World
Economic Conference has been aban-
doned. The few subcommittee that
are as dead as the conference itself.
The formal adjustment of the thing
is to take place July 81. That was
definitely decided by the steering
committee today and the commissions
that were asked to finish their work"
by next Friday. The conference bu-
reau will then meet the following
Tuesday to review the results and
plenary session will be held two days
after that.
No date for reconvening the con-
ference has been set. Some proposals
were made for September, others for
November. Finally it was decided in
the steering committee that no agree
ment on date to resume the sessions
could be set. 1t is realized also that
the aggressiveness of American i'm
perialisnn, especially the latest moves
to mobilize support in Latin America
against the policy of Britain and
France is likely to reach such pro-
portions in the next days that it
would be ridiculous even to pretend
that another world conference would
result in other than a deadlock from
the first.
Lining Up n-Americans
The United States delegates here
are actively supplementing the work
begun at Washington yesterday in
trying to reach bilateral trade agree
ments with the countries of Latin
America. Secretary of State Hull,
head of the American delegation;
Herbert Feis, economic advisor to the
State Department, and William G.
Bullitt, special assistant secretary OF
state, have conferred with Thomas
LeBretin, head of the Argentine dele
CATION, and arrangements have been
completed for conversations between
the two countries at Washington, I'M
mediately upon the official close OF
the London conference.
The delegation has also made ar
rangements for conversations WIN
other Latin-American delegations
and plans are being forwarded Tor
the Pan-American conference next
winter at Montevideo, Uruguay, where
United States imperialism hopes to
further consolidate support Tor It's
policies in atin-America.
Strives to Weaken Britain
The American delegation is max
ing special efforts to obtain some
sort of secret agreement with Argen-
TINA that will weaken the position
of Britain. Attempts are being made
to induce Argentina to cancel the
recently signed trade agreement with
Britain which contained preferential
| tariff provisions that are detrimental
to American export trade.
