Autumn Is Best Time
To Attend 10 Home
Repairs and Painting
Coreful Inventory
Should Be Made From
CelIur to Gurret

AS summer wanes and autumn
approaches, thoughts of the home
owner naturally turn to the prob
lem OF making the house safe from
the coming attack of the elements
and cozy and cheerful for its occu-
pants. As the hours of darkness
lengthen, people naturally spend a
larger proportion of their time in
side their dwellings, which logically
suggests that special effort should
be made to render the home en-
vironment as pleasant as possible
during the winter season.
Now is a good time to take a
careful inventory of the house from
cellar to garret and including care
full attention to the proof, before
cold weather hampers the making of
necessary repairs. In most sections
of the United States. the walls will
have been well dried out. both out
side and inside. and be in ideal
condition for repainting.
Paint Exposed Metal.
The temperatures will be mod
crate, just right for the application
Of paint. Usually, autumn days are
dry and sunny, ideally suited for
proper drying of the paint. Insects
are on the wane and little annoy
ance is to be anticipated from that
source.
Fall is an excellent time to paint
brick houses white, to seal them
against moisture, thus rendering
them dryer and warmer in winter,
with increased benefits to be ex-
pected in the following summer in
the way of added coolness, due to
the heat rejecting qualities of the
white paint.
All exposed metal work, such as
cutters, downspouts, metal railines,
ETC., which are subject to rust or
corrosion, should be we'll scraped
and cleaned of any increment of
rust. and then thoroughly painted
before winter sets in. Every prop
erty owner should bear in mind that
metal once lost is likely to be ire
placeable for the duration of the
war, and probably for a consider
able time thereafter.

Painting Important Now.


Moisture is one of the worst
enemies those on the home front
have to combat. For it causes rapid
deterioration of all surfaces it is
allowed to penetrate. So it behooves
us to keep painted everything that
Is paintable.
Open joints in brick work are par
ticulariy harmful, for they admit
moisture, which not only cause de-
terioratoin OF the cement and
mortar but can do untold damage
to invisible interior walls. Moisture
also will cause efnorescence (that
ugly spread ~ white salts over the
face Of the hricks), as well as the
