Water Great Peril
To New Masonry

Water, which may enter ma
sonry walls during the course of
construction, is likely to cause Sc
rious damage to a building. To
minimize this danger it is essen.
tial that the top of unfinished
walls be adequately protected
against the entrance of water until
they are completed and perma-
nently covered over.
Masonry walls, during conStruc.
ton, should be carefully covered
each night and at all times when
the masons are not working and
when there is possibility of rain,
Sleet, snow, or freezing weather.
TarpaulinS, boards, heavy build
ing paper, or other protective ma.
terial, firmly held in place, will
help keep walls dry and furnish
some insulation against freezing.

Sizing Also Aids
AS Primer Coat

When painting wallboard not al.
ready sized, it is possible to color
the sizing coat so that it will serve
as a printing coat as we'll.
The sizing consists of a good in
terror spar varnish thinned with
turpentine to about the conSis-
tency of linseed oil. To this var
niSh1size is added a small quantity
of the paint that is to be used as
the finish coat, just enough to
color it. The wallboard can then
be finished with two or three coats
of any wall paint.

Except where the building is
located on extremely dry and
well-drained soil, it is advisable to
damp-proof basement walls if the
property owner wants his base
ment to remain dry.
Monolithic concrete walls are
damp-proof in themselves, pro-
vided the proper quality Of con-
crete is used. Where exposure
conditions are severe, surface
treatment are also used.
Masonry walls are frequently
damp-proofed by the application
of coats of bituminous materials,
usually applied to the exterior of
the wall. Joints in masonry
walls should be we'll filled with
mortar and the surface of the
wall should be clean and dry be-
fore damp-proofing coatings are
applied. Struck or fooled joints
are preferred.
Where water conditions are es-
pecially. severe, it is customary

Decorators Give
Color Importance

Among interior decorators, most
colorS used for walls and built-in
equipment in homes are clasSed as
warm or cool.
Warm colorS include all modifi-
cations of red and yellow, from
the paleSt straw tint down through
orange and brown, and from the
most delicate rose color to the
deepest crimson and mahogany.
Blue, green and grey, cool colorS,
soften the tone of a room and give
it a restful atmosphere.

PAINT WINDOW EDGES

Painting the edges of storm
windows and doors, as we'll as the
flat surfaces, besides adding to
their attractiveness and beauty,
protect them from deterioration by
retarding the absorption of mois.

swell and stick. Moisture-resistant
paints are usually preferred for

ANTI-PNEUMONIA
 SERUM BIG HELP
Expected to Curb Deaths Big Percentage Reduc-
 ton Seen in Mortality

Effective anti-pneumonia serum ia now available, which If given ir the early stages of the disease. vii reduce the morality of ccrtalr more prominent types Of lobai pneumonia from 25 to 50 per cent and possibly even more. lt was an nounccd today by Dr Benjamin c Horning. epidcmiologist Of the bu' reau of preventabie diseases of the state department of health. In the departments weekly broadcast.
 This serum, Dr Horning de- clared, spells bad news for the germs of disease which rcsultt in more deaths than any other communicable disease. Pneumonia has remained a leading cause of death while other diseases. such nt smallpox. diphtheria and typhoid fever. hnyc been largely con trollcd.> Pneumonia took 1.23C lives in Connecticut in 1893. Among the noncommunicable diseases. only heart disease. cancer, nephritif and cerebral hemorrhage surpas. pneumonia as q cause Of death m Connecticut.
 More thnn 30 different strains of pneumonia germs have been found but types l. II and III hrc respoh- sibio fo rabout three -fourths of the cases, Dr HorninR Bald. When the germs arc found by laboratory tes' to be types I or II, use of the anti pncumonococcus serum IT gwen carly is effective in q large per centagc of the cases. Efforts arc now being made to produce cHcc- tive scra against certain or the other type dangerous to man.
 Dr HornIng explained that pneu- monin germs usually gain access to tho body through the nose and throat, nnd may be present In the respiratory tract of many people who never develop the disease. These carriers spread the germs to others, who may fall victims Of the illness if their resistance happens to be lowered.
 Despite the effectiveness of th" serum, pr Horning stated. proven ton is still the best way of fighting pneumonia. Avoid the c0mmou cold which is forerunncr In three fourths of tho pneumonia cases Avoid crowds at this Heason of year when cold and pneumonia germs are prevalent. Keep the body't rcsIstnncc high. Ii may be lowered by mental or physical exhaustion lnck Of proper food and clothing, nnd exposure to sudden changes oi weather.
 Each case Of pneumonia should be treated as an emergency ana inc physician immediately called thc doctor said. Persons suferinl from pneumonia should be isolated during the illness and convaics' cencc, since the germs are readiis communicable to others.
