\ UEST1ON: What is whittier
than white?
yryl>;Aa

]
Answer: White paint
Sounds like a paradox, but
| it is true. White paint, made with q
newly discovered pigment called tita-
mum, is the Whitest material that de-
lights the human eye.
Whiteness is an important asset in
a paint, even if you want to paint a
house some color other than white.
For white is the basis of all tints. You
merely tint the white paint with black,
brown, yellow, blue. etc, when it's
mixed And, Of course, when you are
painting a house white, the snowy pig
turn gray with time.
We have found a titanium paint
that won't discolor or stain. You
know how the rust carried from your
screens by the rain makes an ugly
brownish smudge underneath the
windows? Well. this paint resists that
dlscoloration. We have seen it, after
more than two years exposure to the
elements, with its surface worn some
What thin, but no stains on it.
In fact, we have in the Home Insti-
tute, a panel which has been left out
In the sun, rain. wind and snow from
September, 1885, until April, 1887.
Nailed to the upper part of the panel
is piece of copper wire screen and q
tiny slab OF iron such as is used in
flashing or roofing. There is a slight
dlscoloration right under the copper,
but it has not run down the part of
the panel painted with stainless paint,
while the screen made no mark at all
on the whiteness. The lower half of
the panel has another set of screening
and iron. but it was painted with
! traditional paint, and is gray under

! meath the screen. rusty under the iron.
The reason the stainless paint won't
become marked is that it has no
chemical attraction for metal. Its
special formula Of titanium. white lead
and synthetic gum binder also controls
the chalking rate, which Is the powder
ing of normally done by all good
paints. A paint must powder off, but
if it does so evenly and slowly your
house won't need painting until the
whole coat has worn down. The
cracking and checking rate is also
controlled 50 that the cracks which
show in the 2l7 year old panel are
hairline and almost invisible.
The company which makes stainless
paint maintains a paint farm in Penn
sylvania, where hundreds of samples
Of paints of all kinds are laid out In
rows, to stand up against or be de-
stroyed by the elements. under strict
observation Of the paint chemists.
Many OF them stand much harder
wear on the paint farm than they
ever would have to stand on the side
OF your house, for the boards are
tilted at an angle Of IS degrees, which
is two or three times the exposure
afforded by An upright wall. These
test panels certainly get the full force
of sun and wind and rain and would
fade, crack or stain much faster il
they were fadable, crackable or stain.

The stainless paint has great hid
ing power, and is quite simple to
apply, brushing on easily and quickly

including seven greens, six tans, four
grays and three browns. The green's

From the Nurses Notebook

It may be the lack Of proper
recreational activities, lack OF
proper home training or just an
other one Of those sociological
twists, but whatever it is, our boys
continue to populate corrective in
stitutions in too large numbers.
The boy we met at the Glen Lake
Farm last week had been returned
there after breaking his probation.
The sullen, down cast eyes and
slow, crooked smile of this boy
have haunted us. His record and
background are like that Of a large
majority of the histories Of the
"Gang-buster" characters. Instead
of calling all cars" let US call all
Big Brothers, Scout Masters, social
workers to go out and get our boys.
Start now! Bring them in. They
are desperate. That is all for now!
We made morning call at Glen
Lake Sanitarium. Our little five
year-old girl remembered US from
our last visit. She looked fine in
her short shorts and sandals. Told
us all about the party given for
the children the day before, and
about the swimming lesson at Lake
