your property. You should have

Thanks Public

A release from the Working
Girls Council of Minneapolis said:
"Dr. W. D. Brown, newly elected
Mayor of Bonneville, wishes to
thank every group, organization
and individual for their whole
hearted support during his cam
paign for the Mayor of Bonneville.
The Working Girls Council, who
drafted DR.. Brown to enter the
race, join him also in extending
their deep appreciation to all who
cast their votes for the popular
doctor.
"Most remarkable and COM
mandatory to me-" the Mayor
stated, twas the unified attitude
displayed by so many citizens in
their common desire to elect a
Mayor of Bonneville. Now that
the job is done, if this same unity
of purpose be maintained for other
aims, there is no reason why the
Mayor of Bonneville and other
active citizens of the Twin Cities
cannot chalk up many more vic
tories for our race"
Early in January the Working
Girls Council and Mayor Brown
are planning a public reception to
which all citizens of Minneapolis
and st. Paul are invited. Every
president of every organization,
whether fraternal, civic or re-
igious, will be introduced during
the reception. Further announce
ment concerning this meeting will
be made later.

D. A.: Tell me if I should remain
here at home or should I go back
to the city to my job?
Ans: l can't see where it would
make any difference where you
worked as long as you found
work and could support yourself.
If you are more cOntented there
at home look around and see
if you can't find a good job. You
will be happier with the home folks

Ans: Before marrying her, my
advice is to learn more about the
good lady. Do not rush into mar
rage for there is too much red
tape and inconvenience attached to
an unhappy marriage. After you
have known her for a few months,
you both appear very agreeable
and in love, there's nothing like
taking a chance!

Ans: She's a "gad-abOut" and
she doesn't feel contented unless
she's on the go constantly. There's
no use in the world to worry about
her because she isn't going to settle
down until she finds the happiness

Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
The attraction of the week was
conferred round the dance, given
at the Marigold Ballroom in Min
neapolis. The orchestra was too
fine and l mean the Louis Arm
strong clan had everyone, who was
rhythmically inclined, just swing
in. A large crowd turned out, rep
resenting just about all groups in
the Twin Cities. The ballroom, too,
added to the gaiety of the eve
ming with all its Pickering lights
of various hues, and the mirrors
all round the hall held many a
person fascinated (you know, those
who love to gaze at themselves
anyway. 1 suppose you noticed
that Minneapolis gent way back in
one of the corners making faces in
the mirror and talking to himself.
Boy, he seemed to be having a ball.
-. Another St. Paul gent snoozed
during the whole evening in little
corner of his own. Gee, he really
missed all the swell music but his
particular off-key snoring probably
was music enuf for him. =. We
all agreed with that St. Paul lassie
when she said go" is such a dear.
-. Saw AL and ALICE MCCLURE
tripping the light fantastic. Al
was croonin' into Alice's ear that
"He Didn't Want to Set the World
On Fire.. Handsome FARRELL
PHILLIPS was giving what lassie
the grand rush? E. And JIMMIE
SLEMMONS' friends are telling
this one on him. When the orches-
ira played that torch "Jim" (you
know how it goes, "Jim, never
brings me any pretty flowers" etc.
Jimmie S. called out, "That's a lie
Il always bring Bea, my wife,
bunch of pretty flowers" &.
Richly and CAROL ADAMS were
there looking as devoted as ever.
Saw DWIGHT and GUSSIE
REED taking a try at some of the
jitterbug steps. (Gussie was strik-
ing in a red outfit.) -. WARREN
GRISSOM, that very busy man,
was here, there and everywhere.
The orchestra held most of his in
terest, though. Noticed the.
aloof MR.. JOHNSON on the side
lines, looking as handsome and nom
chalant as ever. What Minnea-
polls lad was trying to give MAR
CELIA COPELAND the glad eye?
-. Did you notice that Minneapolis
matron (mama of three grown
chillun) making fool of herself
over the youngest member of the
orchestra? . By the way, two
of the Armstrong horn tooters
stayed at the Wheatley House
while in town. Did STANLEY
BERRY ever get his dance with the
lass who was to meet him at the
orchestra stand? (You know in
such a crowd it was hard to find
anyone, anyhow. "BUZZIE"
BROWN of st. Paul captured the
eyes of what two Minneapolis
lassies that evening? . That M.
and G. romance seems to be quite
the thing these days, doesn't it?
JULIUS and MARIAN AN
DREWS were among the happy
throng. LOUIS COMMODORE
was Erred Astairing" all the eve
ming, wasn't he? MRS. ELLA
CURRIE was looking attractive in
black velvet, did you notice?
That was very embarrassing for
that St. Paul lassie when she
slipped and fell in the middle of a
hectic jitterbug step, just as the
bright lights came on. Saw
BOOKER and PUGH, those up and
coming photographers, dashing
round and about. . All in all, the
dance was the bright spot Of the
week and we hope we have more
dances like it.

although this will leave a frosted
effect on the metal. Wipe the pipe
clean with any spot remover, and
after drying give it a coat of cleal
varnish. If you can put the bath

or two, by far your best move will

Kitchen Wall Finish.
@. What would be a good finish
for the bottom part of the walls
in our kitchen?
A. You could use imitation tile
which is hard form of wallboarc
with an enamel finish; it comes in
pieces 4 feet wide and various
lengths Another excellent finish
would be wall linoleum which
should be applied by a professional

ing, perhaps you will be tempted to
rush to the store and buy summer
rugs to cover the scratched, streaky
wood floors. But you would solve
the problem more permanently If,
instead of spending money for new
rugs, you would buy wood floor COW
ering.
Prefinished hardwood floors, one
quarter of an inch thick, laid with
out nails in less than day, go down
as fast as linoleum. Laid right over
the old floor, they cost less today
than a good three-quarter rug for
the same room, according to the
makers. And you never have to
send this quickly installed, attractive
flooring out to be cleaned, as it is
part of the structure. Just wax and
polish it occasionally.
The wood floor covering comes in
three designs-9 by 8 inch tile; ram
DOM width planks in l by 10 foot
section, and a basket-weaye pat
tern in l by foot sections-and
in three woods, white oak, walnut
and teak. The oak comes in two
colors- light and dark. Sections are
delivered in neat, compact cartons,
each section being sanded, sealed,
filled and polished at the factory.
Can Be Placed Quickly.
There is no waste of time in in
stalling these floors. A patented ad-
hesive is applied to the felt back
ing of the sections and to the old
floor. When the adhesive is dry
the sections are laid in position on
the floor and firmly tapped with
rubber mallet over the entire sur
face, especially along edges where
the sections join. The adhesive must
be applied and the sections laid
the same day.
You would never know, looking at
finished floor, that it was a floor
that came in carton. It's genuine
hardwood, fine finish, and solid ap-
plication to the subf1oor make it a
fine, firm floor. But there is this
advantage. Because it is only one
quarter inch thick, you don't have

bearing fruit. Last week we told
you how industrial researchers
found a way to decrease the weight
of sheet lead and its creep resist
ance. This week we have another
new development in the sheet
metal field to report. This time 1t
concerns copper.
The research department OF
well-known copper company has just
found out that old-timerS are not
always wrong when they talk about
how much better things were in the
good old days" They have had to
grant the correctness of the theory
that the purer copper produced by
the modern electrolytic method OF
refinement does not resist corrosion
as well as the old-time copper! Tests
have shown that copper roofing
metal can be too pure. Some of the
impurities taken out of copper by
electrolytic refinement actually seem
to be beneficial in resisting corro-
sion.
That is why this company has in
troduced new Sheet-copper roofing
in which some of the elements re-
moved by electrolytical refinement
are deliberately reintroduced. They
are put back because they can help
ward off the pits and notches some
times resulting when too pure cop
per is subjected to corrosion fatigue
The new copper sheeting is able to
form harmless, tough, tenacious
film over its surface, which protects
the metal. When all the impurities
were removed the metal could not
form this film of itself.
The new copper with the added
selected impurities costs more than
absolutely pure copper. 1t is in
tended for use in areas where the
atmosphere is known to be corrosive
The average roof of a two-story, six
room house should cost from $3.50 to
$500 in corrosion-resisting copper,
depending on the locality.

evaporation of the light oils in
the paint into the air remaining in
the can. Naturally, the paint
thickens when these oils leave it.
One way to avoid the trouble Is
to cut piece of waxed paper the
size of the inside of the can, and
70 float it on the remaining paint
as q protection against the air.
Another way is to wipe the top edge
of the can and the lid, so that the
lid car be put on tightly. Then
shake the can, so that the air within
it will become impregnated with
all parts of the paint. Lay the can
on its side for a few minutes, so
that the paint will drain away from
the underside of the lid. This
will prevent skinning, and the paint
will remain in condition.
Roots in Sewer Pipe.
@. What can be poured down our
sewer pipes to kill roots that grow
in through the joints?
A. Use copper sulphate, COM
monty called blue vitriol. Dissolve
a half pound in a wash basin of
water, and let it drain of. Repeat
every two weeks or so during the
growing season.
Verdigris on Pipes.
@. Verdigris forms on the pipes
in my lavatory. How can it be
cleaned off? How can it be kept
from forming again?
A. Verdigris is formed by a COM
Dination of metals in the brass with
oxygen and other gases in the air,
due tc the dampness in the bath
room. Ammonia will sometimes
remove it; if not, use sandpaper,

much more expensive ductwork
