Leading toward the danger-Spot

late Tuesday increased the resent
ment against them by flooding
roads leading into Mexicah to pre-
vent the passage of farm owners
en- route to join the Settle-doTn
strikers at the palace. Several au-
tomobiles containing farm families
were marooned over night in the
mired roads.
The strikers countered with a
demand to Governor Taboada for
protection. He complied with an
order to the military to prevent
further flooding.
The Palace Park strike showed
no signs of abatement today. IN
stead, donations Of 500 pesos were
received from Masonic and Cathol-
ic organizations, and food and
other supplies continued TO pour
into strike headquarters from COM

thizers.

IF THE outside walls Of your brick

mer weather brings the tempera-
ture up high enough to risk working
on it. For, contrary to general belief,
the filling-in Of cracks in mortar be-

thermometer registers as low as 20
degrees F. if you use caulking NOR
tar that does not require protection
during its hardening period.

of the other familiar jobs which he
usually hires some one to do for him
Pointing" merely means the scraping
out of faulty mortar between bricks
and the insertion OF new properly
mixed mortar throughout the whole
of the crack. Success depends largely
upon the choice Of proper mortar and
the close following of directions for
its use.
The pointing mortar which needs
no coddling while it sets makes g

said to be unable to pass. 1t does this

to temper ordinary mortar. One man
can do the whole thing, unlike ordinary
cement which requires a mixer and
applier. Coming in powdered form,
this mortar is mixed merely by adding
clear water as needed. 1t is troweled
in place. the joints having first been
raked out. all loose mortar removed
and the cavities mostened. The NOR
tar is especially intended for use In
this way, not in large masses, like reg

You can figure how much you need
for given Job by measuring the depth
OF the pointing. For a -half-inch
depth, l pound of this expanding
mortar will be required for from 10
to IL linear feet When mixed to the
proper consistency for troweling, 100
pounds of this mortar makes cubic

against the 150-l6O pounds it takes
for a cubic foot of ordinary mortar.
Its unusual consistency keeps it from
dropping off while it is being applied

Standing seam copper roofing has
