Soviet Wages Campaign
OF Press PRESSURE

MOSCOW, Nov. 13 P.-Russia
waged a campaign of press pres
sure" upon Finland today after dis
closure of widespread Russian naval
demands upon the Firms.
Soviet newspapers printed a long
official news agency dispatch from
Helsinki painting a gloomy picture
Of conditions there and predicting
tf1at the Finnish government would
reject Russian OFFERS"
The dispatch alleged that there
had been frequent conflict between
the men of the regular Finnish Army
and reservists because the reservists
favored agreement with Moscow.
The news agency Tass predicted
that the Firms could not stand the
economic and financial strain of the
present situation longer than from
four to seven months"
The newspaper Red Fleet, organ
Of the Soviet Navy, disclosed yester-
day for the first time Russia s
sweeping naval demands.
Red Fleet said Russia must gain
control of the Finnish areas west
of Murmansk in order to protect
this Arctic Ocean port, Russia's
northernmost ice-free harbor. Fin
land now has access to the Arctic
through a narrow strip of land be-
tween Norway and Russia.
The navy organ also said that
Leningrad, Soviet port at the head
of the Gulf Of Finland, could not
be safe unless Russia controlled both
sides of the gulf. The northern
side is Finnish.
The newspaper Trud, organ Of the
Soviet trade unions, warned Fin
land she was playing dangerous

suits"

If you are the proud owner or
occupant of a brick house you may
or may not know that your home can
be made cooler in summer and
warmer in winter by painting it's
outside walls. This may sound like
a pretty broad statement to make,
but recent tests seem to prove that
an external coat of paint not only
will brighten the appearance of the
old homestead, but will also make it
a considerably more efficient place
in which to live.
The bricks with which your house
is constructed have a peculiar fac
ulty Tor absorbing water, or let us
say moisture, and it is said that
some grades of brick will absorb
up to 80 per cent of their weight in
water. This makes a considerable
quantity of water to have enyeloping
ones home, and naturally consid-
cradle amount of moisture is bound
to seep In and make the inside
atmosphere damp. Hence, during
the heating season you are forced
to use lot more fuel to compete
with the influx of moisture through
the masonry.
Then again, it has been proven
that moist walls may also conduct a
large amount of heat out of build
ing which otherwise would be keep
ing your family warm and comfort

Obviously the answer to this nasty
problem is to paint the brick walls
which yearn so for moisture, thereby
preventing the moisture from get
ting into the pores. With the pores
nicely sealed up you will have, in
effect, layer of dead air cells which
will do nice job of insulating for
you.
The summer side of the painted
brick wall problem is rounded out by
the fact that your walls will tend
to reflect heat rather than absorb it
If they are painted some lighter
color than the usual red or brown.
Every one tries, at least, to wear
light colors in summer to do just
the same thing, and you may be
