Use OF Painted
Concrete N ow
Is Increased

The demand for color and the
growing acceptance Of concrete as
a decorative material have resulted
IN an increasing use o. paints on
concrete.
A wide range OF color in cement
paints are available. These should
be distinguished from ordinary cold
water paints which will not resist
weather or other adverse conditions
and can serve only as interior color
coatings. A true portland-cement
paint Is easily applied and bonds
with any surface. which presents a
clean surface with some absorption.
IT Is not recommended for applica-
ton On wood, metal, glazed surfaces,
or areas which have been previously
coated with oil paints unless such
paints r completely removed. It
Is an advantage that portland-ce-
ment paint can be applied to damp
surfaces. II should be applied when
the wall Is wet and can be applied
TO concrete Immediately after the
ferns are removed.
Before application remove all
dirt, oil, grease, or efforescence from
the surface TO be painted. Oil and
grease can be removed by scrubbing
with gasoline or naptha. Effores-
cence can usually be removed by
scrubbing with a 10 per cent solu-
ton OF muriatic acid followed by a
thorough rinsing with water.
The surface should be uniformly
damp for the first coat and should
be mciStened with a fine spray r.
fore the second coat. During warm
or dry weather the paint film will
need 70 be sprayed sooner than DUR
ing cold or damp weather.
Other types Of paint are available
Tor application tc concrete, out the
above type will be found very use
1ul for winter work.

PROMOTIONS
IN AIR CORPS
SPLIT ARMY
Infantry Chief AssaiIs Bill to
Grant Special Privileges
to Flying Officers
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright, 1895. by International
News Service)

Bitter feeling over a move by the
Air Corps to obtain special promo
ton privileges has split the Army
into two rival factions.
The infantry and other branches
are incensed over the Air Corps
efforts to have Congress enact
legislation permitting the promo
ton of Air Corps officers over the
heads of hundreds of officers in
other military branches.
A bill providing for this promo
ton privilege is now before the
House. It has so aroused the in
fantry units that Maj. Gen. Ed
ward Croft, Chief Of Infantry, has
written a blistering letter to Chair
man John McSwain, of the House
Military Affairs Committee, de-
nouncing it and warning that the
infantry will fight it to the bitter
end o7a~
Harmony Threatened
International News Service IS
able to disclose the contents of
the letter, which declares the
harmonious relationship that
must exist between the fighting
arms is seriously compromised, if
not destroyed" by the Air Corps
demand for this special privilege.
Stating that under the bill Air
Corps majors would be promoted
to colonies over 1893 officers in
other branches, and that Air
Corps captains would be pro-
NOTED to lieutenant colonies over
1,131 officers in other branches.
General Croft's letter declared:
ut is a brazen affrOnt to the
officers / represent.
"The Infantry does not OBJ
ject to the fact that Air Corps
officers receive so per cent
more pay than Infantry Off
GERS. We do not object to the
increased pay that they are
now receiving, but we do object
with all the emphasis at our
command to any proposal to
pass a single Air Corps officer
over any officer in the Infan-
try.

court martial of Brig. Gen. A. E.
Williams, former chief of the

of them corps area commanders.

bers of the group that drew up
specifications for the motor vehicle
purchases in the $1O,00O,000 mod
ernization program of the Army

mind for renewing the fight for
bonus payment in case the veto
is sustained, he asserted:

are going to override the vSt0."
These expressions were voiced
by the Senator following q con-
ference early today of the Senate
