PROTECTIVE QUALITY
OF PAINT EXPLAINED
Research Chemist Describes Oil
and Pigment Combination.
By Times Special

81 tmCS special
WASHINGTON, March "a
Paint forms a protective armor for
structural materials because of the
nature of its ingredients, according
to Lee Hart, Washington research
chemist
Paint is composed principally OF
pigment mixed in OIL" Mr.. Hart
says. "A pigment is the powdered
form of some highly insoluble ma
terial, such as the colored COM
pounds of lead, iron and the like
Rouge, for example, is finely DOW
dered form of iron oxide. Just as
rouge would not stick to the cheeks
if it was not for the natural oil
in the skin, powdered pigment will
not adhere to the surface of a house
unless it is combined with OIL"
Linseed oil is generally used fer
this purpose, Mr.. Hart explained
because it has the peculiar prop
erty of being able to absorb oXy-
gen from the atmosphere, so that
the oil itself is changed into tough
leathery material. Thus changed
by natural chemical process, the
oil acts as cement, holding the
metallic particles of pigment in
place, and making a complete pro-
tective film over the surface"

CONCRETE PAINT
MADE EFFICIENT
NeutraIizating Lime Before
Applying Coat Among
important Factors.

By tmeS Spectut
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The
need for and the method of apply
ing paint protection to concrete is
discussed authoritatively in the cur
rent issue of Real Estate Magazine
by DR.. Macmillan Toch, well known
scientist in this field.
It is of primary Importance in the
painting of cement to neutrallze
the lime in the material before
starting the main work, DR.. Torch
says. He points out that although
cement was invented more than a
hundred years ago, it was not until
the early part of this century that
the science of painting concrete be-
came known. Until that time, he
says. He points out that although
paint would not stick to concrete
and it was, therefore, futile to at
tempt it.
This was true" he continues,
because up to the beginning of the
twentieth century there were no
other paints except linseed oil paints,
and linseed oil disintegrates when
it comes in contact with moist con-
crete.
with the discovery of China wood
oil, it became possible to paint con-
crete floors and concrete interiors
so that the coatings not only would
keep out water but would adhere
and form a slightly surface"
DR.. Toch says the best neutraliz-
ing treatment for cement is an ap-
plication of a chemical known as
the double fluosilicate of zinc and
magnesia. This produces a whittish
scum the day following applica-
ton, which easily may be removed
for painting.

new CARS TO
Be PLACED ON
COLLEGE LINE
Speedy, More Comfortable
Service to Begin
Tomorrow.

Early tomorrow morning. the first
new blue and yellow street cars will
glide out of the Highland avenue
car barns and head northward on
the College avenue line, thus in
augurating without ceremony a new
era in transportation in the College
avenue district and Broad Ripple.
Gone forever for College car
riders will be the familiar old
orange-colored street cars which
have travelled up and down the
avenue car tracks for many years.
Starting tomorrow 5000 daily
College car riders will lounge COM
fortably in soft seats, upholstered in
leather.
A new type lighting system will
make it easier for patrons to read
newspapers on their homeward
trips.
Gone will be the coal stoves. In
their place will be electric heaters,
Enthusiastically controlled and kept
at an even temperature at all times.
Other improvements include limo
leum-covered floors, windows that
are really easy to raise, and an eff
cient ventilation system.
AS far as operation goes, smooth
ness will be the keynote of the new
cars. They will pick up smoothly
and quickly, faster than the average
automobile, and a newly developed
braking system assures a smooth
stop.
Service on the line is to be in
creased next week, according to In
dianapolis Railways officials. Cars
will run every two and three min
utes in the rush hours, every seven
minutes during the day, and every
nine minutes at night.

PARIS STRIKES
MOURNFUL TONE
IN ARMS NOTE
Calls for Recruits as New
Demand for Security Is
Given British.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, March PA some
what funereal note from France on
disarmament left Great Britain still
willing today to seek further for a
solution of the problem.
AS the note was published, the
French war ministry announced that
beginning April it would accept
eighteen month enlistments from
men who had fulfilled their COM
pulsory military training period of
one year.
League of Nations headquarters
at Geneva announced that 1000, 900
men were under arms in Europe,
and that an additional 100000
could be modified at any time,
ready for war.
The French note showed no real
progress-rather a qualification Of
the deadlock that has existed for
many months.
France demanded, in brief, that if
Germany were permitted to disarm,
Britain and other nations must
guarantee Frances security. 1t
was specified that consultation"
would not be enough-that there
must be certainty of prompt and
effective penalties against any ma
ton, meaning Germany, which
proved aggressive.
Germany could do nothing more
reassuring as regards her peaceful
ness, the French not said, than to
rejoin the League of Nations.
Despite the tone, the British
government expressed hope that the
door is not closed" 1t was said
that the government was not pre-
pared to guarantee the inviolability
of any frontiers, as the French note
seemed to ask.
Some optimists suggested that
Britain might be willing to con-
slider "some form of common &C
ton" against a European violator
of a disarmament agreement pro-
vided the United States attitude
was satisfactory.
It was intimated that this would
involve an American promise not
to preserve diplomatic and trade in
tercourse With a nation condemned
as viOlator.

CHEAP PAINTS CALLED
EXPENSIVE AS BARGAIN
Fail Both in Durability and Protect
ing Surface.

Paints that are inferior because
of cheap ingredients or manufacture
are a costly bargain to home own
ers, according to Ernest T. Trigg,
president of the National Paint,
Varnish and Lacquer Association.
Builders have figured that ap-
proximately rs per cent of the cost
of the average paint job is for labor
and only Is per cent for material.
Since cheaply made paint neither
lasts nor adequately protects the
surface it is supposed to cover, it
is obviously poor economy to pur-
chase a material that will last only
half as long as paint costing a few
dollars more. and then be obliged to
pay for having the job done all over
again"
