beauties from far out.

rs there any company which
gives a waterproofing guaranty for

Here was man who was about

the time to protect a cellar from

was looking for waterproofing
compound guaranteed by its maker
to do its job of insuring a water
proof foundation. The answer to his
question is yes" We have found
company which guarantees for 25

This waterprooflng liquid is mixed
with tempering water to obtain
complete distribution Of the water
proofing agent throughout any Port
land cement mixture. For mass
concrete you use one quart of the
liquid to the water necessary for
each 94-pound sack Of Portland ce-
ment. The liquid costs 81 a gallon
or $8.75 for five gallons.
1t is possible to build a water
tight wall without the use of an
admixture, If you are sure of your
materials and your workmen's skill
But a guarantee for Is years with
the use OF a waterproofing COM
pound may give you sufficient peace
OF mind to justify its slightly addi-
tional expense. Using it under en-

ELIZABETH GORDON.

If you have been putting off the
job of doing over your floors because
1t seemed too much of task for a
bright spring day. here is news for
you that will Danish your reluctance
to get to work. You can varnish
floors with a mop!
There's no trick to it-you use an
ordinary, everyday mop. with a piece
of cheesecloth or lint-free ordinary
rag" such as everybody has around
the house, attached to the mop stick.
Then you dip the cloth into a new
varnish and spread it over the floor,
let it dry, and there you are.
It's the formula of the varnish
that's news. 1t is not wax, lacquer
or soap. but a new kind of varnish
made of synthetic resins and special
solvents. 1t gives a rich sheen to
the floors, and the sheen lasts as
long as that impaired by the old
hands ndknees brush method You
can even wash it with hot water and
soap or washing compounds with
out spelling the gloss. Spilled drinks.
even those alcoholic in nature, or
hot greases, won't ruin the tough
surface, we are told.
Two coats of this varnish are ad-
vlsable the first time you do your
floors this new, easy way, with time
out between for thorough drying

But it doesn't take long for the dry

at $50 in the morning. you can
have lunch there with perfect safety.
Then put the second coat on after
lunch, and dinner won't be delayed
because of sticky floors.
After the first application. one
coat will do the job ad infinitum. 1t
is necessary to remove an old finish
OF wax, oil or polish before that first
application. of course. Turpentine
is recommended for preparing the
floors.
A 12xl2 room can have refinished
floors in about Is minutes. this mop
on way, and the woodwork can be
reconditioned in another Is minutes
by merely wiping the varnish on
with soft cloth. A quart of the
varnish, which costs $l45, is enough
for two coats for a 12xl2 room. It
comes in various sizes from 4 ounces
for 20 cents, TO a gallon for IS.

In cold-water lines, and near the

What happens with the water 81
lencer Is that when water Is being
drawn from the faucet the air In
the internal leakproof chamber re-
duces itself in pressure In propor-
ton to the rate of water flow. When
the fixtures are closed quickly, there
isn't so much air pressure there to
rush back against the barrier. AS
soon as you are through using the
water, the air pressure and water
pressure are brought again to
normal.

tive on rigid piping and copper
tubing. They come in two sizes, one
for use on half-inch service lines,
the other for use on three-quarter,

Some people feel that because they

Strict adherence to the right of way

The Interpretation of the right of

vehicle arriving first at an ordinary un-
protected intersection shall have the
right to cross first, but that when two
vehicles reach the crossing at the same
time, the one on the left should give
way to the one on the right. Most
drivers know and observe this rule.
Many abuse this privilege. They as

MERRILL next
COMMISSIONER?
Dopesters Predict Hutchinson
Man Will Succeed Wenzel
as Conservation Head.

Lewis Merrill, Hutchinson, recently
appointed game and fish director OF
the state department Of conservation,
is being given the nod for the next
conservation commissioner, according
to information coming from st. Paul.
Merrill's appointment to the COM
mission, made by Lester Badger, acting
conservation commissioner, was ap-
parently consumated to sound out con-
servation leaders throughout the state,
and his next jump will be into the seat
now occupied by the governors APP
pointee and formerly held by Herman
c. Wenzel, suspended commissioner.
Iron range cities and civic bodies,
including the Ely Commercial club, had
endorsed Parker o. Anderson for the
position. Mr.. Anderson, long friend
of the Arrowhead territory, is member
of the extension service of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
Andersons candidacy has received
little publicity during recent weeks, and
from all appearances Merrill has gained
the inside track.
Merrill's record centers mainly around
the Gopher Campfire club at Hutchin-
son. Hutchinson is the county seat of
Mcleod county and is located about SO
miles directly west of the Twin Cities
He served as president of the organi-
zation for several years and has been
active in SportSmen's circles.

is subject to Jerome's acceptance.

Ed Shave, state tourist bureau director

Origin of Diamonds

Much doubt exists as to the origin
Of diamonds. The French geolo-
gist, De Launay, argued that dia-
monds came up from the bowels OF
the earth. This view seems to be
supported by the fact that their oc-
currence is apparently independent
of inclosing rock, whether it is the
carbonaceous shale found at the
surface, or the underlying diabese
and quartzite. The conditions nee
essary to the capitalization Of car
bon in the form of a diamond seems
to be intense heat and great pres
sure such as exist during the form
