Paint Under Porch Floor

Painting the under side of porch
hoor is an excellent way to keep
moisture and dampness from COM
ing through and causing the paint
on the upper side to blister and peel.
If the house is just being built, paint
the boards before laying them in
place.

Moss Growth Remover

Moss growth on stone or brick
work that is to be painted can be
removed by washing the surface
well with water to which has been
added per cent by volume of car
bolic acid. About an hour after this
treatment, the growth should come
off easily with the aid of a stiff
brush and clear water.

Home Owner Can Save by
Using First Aid on
His Home Now.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. - The
home owner who acts with speed
may give his domicile a little FIRST
aid" at the last OF depression prices.
according TO officials Of the Ameri-
can paint, varnish, and lacquer
industries.
The effect of imitation. the recov-
cry drive. and the administration
unemployment campaign already
have made themselves felt in a
sharp stiffening in the prices of all
commodities. and notably in the
cost Of materials that go into the
care and repair Of the home.
Despite this. however. Charles w.
Eastwood Of Providence. r. T..
chairman OF the Save-the- Surface
campaign. asserts that timely re-
pairs and a rejuvenating touch OF
paint still can be administered at
costs anywhere from 20 10 80 per
cent under those of 1926. which are
used by the federal government as
normal basis.
Such undertakings, Eastwood de-
clares. perform the added function
Of saving the home owner bills in
the future. The exterior of the
home. exposed TO all kinds OF
weather the year round, is subject
ed to a terrific annual toll of de
probation at the hands of the
elements.
Seasonal attention, necessary re-
pairs. and constant care are essen
tial if the home owners investment
is TO be preserved, or If his prop
erty value is to be enhanced.
At the first sign of need. the en-
tire exterior of the frame house
should be painted. If. however, the
home owner is not in a position TO
undertake such project. it is wise
to look for so-called danger signs
cracks or crevices in the wood ::
peeling or blistering of the surface.
or deterioration which admits mois-
ture - the forerunner of rust, rot
and decay.
BY watching these danger points
and by being on hand with putty,
brush and paint to administer the
remedy, needless waste is avoided.

Prepare Limited supply

The practical painter should thin
down only enough color to last
through the day, mixing fresh color
each day for each days work, rather
than thinning enough to paint the
whole house and taking a chance on
the weather.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-08-21
Watch the Thermometer

Exterior painting should be done
only in dry weather and when the
thermometer registers at least 80
degrees. In colder weather the
moisture that Is generally present
will condense on the surface and
interfere with good results.

PRESIDENT NOT
TO SEEK WAR
DEBTS POWER
Congress Not to Be Asked
for Authority to Revise
or Compromise.
DEFAULTS FACE U. S.
Roosevelt and Hull Turn
Down French Proposal
for Moratorium.
BY WILLIAM F. KIRBY
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 13-Demo-
cratic leaders of house and senate
have been advised by the highest
administration sources that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has abandoned all
intention of seeking congressional
authority to revise or compromise
the war debts.
This information was interpreted
today by party chieftains as also
foreclosing all possibility that the
chief executive might seek power to
grant a moratorium on Europe's
$40, 100000 June Is payments as a
trading point in the forthcoming
world ecoomic conference.
Great Britain, among other ma
tons, has made no provision in its
budget for the June payment. The
United States, therefore, apparent
ly must face wholesale defaults I'M
less there is an unexpected change
in this country's attitude.
Word on Capitol hill of the adj
miniStration'S decision conceded
WIN reDuI1 Oh a new french pro-
pOSal.
Ambassador Andre De Laboulaye
of France discussed the June pay
ment with both Mr.. Roosevelt and
State Secretary Cordell Hull Friday
night.
1t was learned that France Of
fered to pay the $2OOO0,00O defaulted
last December if the United States
would grant a moratorium on the
money due next month.
Recalling that Great Britain
paid what was due last December
without compensating promises of
future concessions. Mr.. Roosevelt
feels that it would be unfair to give
Paris what was denied to London.
