again is the ideal color from this
standpoint. However, other hues
are good and their efficiency
varies. For small rooms it is
smart to have the radiator match
woodwork and walls. This prin-
ciple Of conductivity gives a per-
fectly good excuse for having the
radiators done, as it does save on
the coal bill.
In fall redecorating, check too
on the new paints on the market
for wall and floor finishing. Floor
paint or deck enamel has a wear
resisting binder that increases
durability. This paint is much
different from wall paint or from
the type used outside the house.
Another hazard was overcome
when a new primer was developed
for concrete. There was a time
when painting concrete was a
gamble with the odds in favor of
it coming off. Now an efficient
paint primer is used which whips
the concrete into condition. The
two coats Of deck enamel then
go on smoothly and evenly.

The church was built in 1772 on
a site chosen by Washington and
was the place of worship Of wash
ington and his family until the
Revolution.
During the Civil War the in
terror of the church was torn out
so that the structure might be
converted into stable. It's restora-
ton began in 1895, and today it
stands as it was in pre-Revolu-
tionary days, even to the old bap-
tismal font, lost for so many years
and later discovered in a farm
yard where it was serving as a
watering trough.

must be enough light and the light
must be directed so that it is
evenly diffused and there is no
glare. The third factor is the re.
Election value Of the various sur.
faces in the room. These are the
ceiling, the walls and the wood
work.
The dark surfaces absorb light
just as a sponge soaks up water.
If the ceiling is dirty and has a
low rejecting power, much of the
light that falls on it is absorbed
and lost.
Light Reflections
This does not mean that the
walls and ceiling should be done
in white. It does mean, though,
that before redecorating is at
tempted the amount of light need
ed should be analysed before the
color is decided on.
Careful scientific tests and ex-
periments have developed a chart
which indicates the light reflec-
ton Of various flat-painted sur
faces.
White, Of course, is far ahead of
other colors in rejecting value.
1t reflects about 80 per cent of all
light that falls on it. Light ivory
and cream rate at II per cent,
while apricot beige comes next in
the scale with a percentage of Sc.
Then comes lemon yellow at 65,
ivory at SO, and light buff at Sc.
Peach, salmon and light pearl

Pale green rates at 81. Dark green
and dark blue soak up all but 8
or 9 per cent Of the light that hits
them.
Thus, it is easy to see why a
100-watt bulb in a room with white
or cream walls might prove ade-
quate, while the same bulb in a
room with dark red or blue walls
would not give enough light to
prevent eyestrain.
Other Factors
This same principle can be used
in determining what color to use
on the radiators. Painting is now
recommended for them, in order
to gain the maximum amount of
heat radiation. White, of course,

nothing of redecorating costs, has

1t is a Joy to know that all this

waterproof paneling that fits over
the top of the plumbing. Each
