Painting Over Varnish.
@. Woodwork in my house is
Georgia pine with several coats of
varnish having very hard and
highly glossy surface I would now
like to refnish with paint. How can
the varnish first be removed?
A. If the high polish Of the
varnish is first made dull, you can
apply the paint over it. The gloss
of the varnish can be taken off with
sandpaper or steel wool. or by wiping
with a solution of washing soda in
water, only strong enough to cut
into the surface without Softening
the varnish.
Paint Remover.
@. want to remove paint from
the woodwork of six rooms, prepare
tory to repainting. Is there any
thing that is as effective as COM
merical paint remover, and that will
be cheaper?
A. You can make an excellent
paint remover for all purposes by
dissolving 3 pounds of trisodium
phosphate in a gallon of water
When applied boiling hot the paint
quickly softens. and can be wiped
and scraped off. Follow by spongine
with clear water to remove all
traces of the chemical. Trisodiun

War Spurs Juvenile
Delinquency in City

Action to combat the alarming
increase in juvenile delinquency
was urged by Lord Chief Justice
Andrews at the Youth Conference
in Belfast. Northern Ireland. In
Belfast in 1898, the last full pre-
war year, 1O1 juvenile cases were
recorded. In 1889, with four months
Of war, there were 154 cases. and
in the full war year Of 1910 the fig
ure reached 318, more than three
times that of the last pre-war
year.

which is hard on the ears. As
result of the slamming one OF the
panels is cracked. How about a quiet
closing?
A. The door frame is out of square
with the door, possibly from the set
Element of the house. in which case
the edges of the door that rub
against the frame should be planed
to fit. Possibly the top hinge is
loose, so that the door says. Tight
ening the screws should help this.
When properly fitted door should
close tightly without any of the edges
striking the frame.
Paint on Bricks.
Q. In my home there is very
old fireplace, and back of it brick
oven. The bricks are the soft pink
variety. but previous owners have
given them several coats of paint

First Aid
For the
AiingHouse
By ROGER b. WHITMAN.

Some friends of mine are doing
over an old farmhouse. Plaster on
the walls is firmly attached to the
lath, bat is badly cracked. 1t would
be a long job to replace all the old
plaster with new, and even if it were
not. plasterers in their community
cannot be had because OF nearby
defense construction work.
If much of the plaster were loose,
they would have no option, with the
alternative Of covering the old walls
with some form of Wallboard. AS 1t
is, 1t seems to me that their simplest
way out would be to fill the cracks
with patching plaster, or with a
similar material called "spackle."
For a good job. a crack should be
cut out and made wider at the lath
than on the surface, so that IN
hardening, a patch will lock itself
into place. Before putting in a
patch, the old plaster should be
dampened to prevent water from
being drawn from the patching
compound Narrow cracks can be
filled at once to the surface, but
wider cracks should be filled only
three full. When this part
of the patch has hardened, the rest
can be filled and the surface
smoothed. This will overcome any
possible trouble from shrinkage.
The lob will be long and tedious
one, of course, but it is one that the
owners can do themselves, and at
their convenience. To replace the
plaster of an entire room would
make far more of a mess. and be
much more disturbing. This patch
ing method, for instance, need not
injure the floor finish, which with a
complete plastering job would prob
ably be badly defaced.
Kepainting.
Q. How should old. scaling paint
be treated before repainting? Should
two or three coats of white paint
be used, or is a first coat of alum
mum paint advisable?
A. All the old paint that is loose
should be taken off. 1t is possible
that scraping will be sufficient. II
not. have it burned of by some one
who really knows his business; If
you have not had experience. you
had better not attempt it yourself
because of the fire risk. Aluminium
paint makes an excellent first coat
If it is not to be had, put on three
coats of good quality paint, following
the instructions of the maker for
the thinning of the first and second
coats.
