Imitation of Weathered
Pine Produced bv Stain

A country house of the English
type near Philadelphia holds new
pine woodwork finished in exact ini-
tation Of weathered pine. The stain
used to produce the effect was made
by mixing one pound of raw sienna
with one pound of burnt umber and
an even teaspoonful of burnt sienna.
All of these were oil colors. A hall
gallon each of turpentine and
boiled linseed oil was added very
gradually to thin the mixture thor.
oughly. The stain was then applied
and Immediately wiped away agar
with rags or waste. Each door OF
window was completely finished be.
fore leaving it. The following day,
when the stain had dried, a small
daub Of quick drying black, ground
in coach japan, was applied with
the thumb for irregularity in each
panel and blended with a dry rag
or blender. When the entire finish
became hard, another coating was
added-this time of white lead bare
ly tinted gray and thinned with tur.
pentine and a small quantity OF
drier. Again each unit of door or
window was entirely completed and
rubbed before leaving it. The next
day three coats of wax were applied,
with polishing between coats. The
floor was finished with the ground
stain, applied evenly without lap
ping, and waXed. No wipe-off coats
or daubs of black we're used on the
floor. 1t is possible to create the
same effect by applying crude BIZ
chromate of potassium dissolved in
water for ground stain instead o
the sienna-umber mixture.

War Moves On

UNITED Press War Expert)

The ofilclal versions OF the Ger
man and Italian armistice terms
contain one clause that seems to
have been formulated for Its effect
on the United States. In the naval
section OF the armistice agreement
both Germany and Italy give as
surances that they will make no
claims for possession Of the French
fleet when final peace terms are dis
ctssed. Such pledge has no pre-
cedent. A first-class power, hoping
to win war against nations domi-
mating the seas, would never agree
In advance to abandon right Of seiz-
ure Of the warships Of its enemy
without some exceptional reason.
The government OF Germany is
observing very closely the attitude
of the United States toward the war
and the American agitation for pre-
paredness. Arguments In the United
States that there will be O German
offensive in the western hemisphere
If Germany wins mastery over Eu-
rope are well known to Hitler. Es-
pecially Is he familiar with feeling
in the United States concerning
possible developments II Germany
gains possession OF the French and

cial bureau attached to his personal

II was understood that Pepper was
angered when the committee again
revised the language OF the foreign
