Letters of protests on both appli-
cations were filed by Irving G. Root,
superintendent of National Capital

sires that the Maryland Commission
refuse to grant any more CONNER

both applications.

Ing a stippled effect. How can
this be obtained?
A-Stippling is done by applying
a finish paint coat, mixed a little
thicker than usual, which may be
lighter, darker or of the same tone
as the under coat. The surface In
then stippled by tapping the wet
paint with a clean bristle brush.
Other finishes may be obtained by
using a whisk broom, sponge or
similar tool. Plastic paints may
be used when a textured surface
is desired.

wallpapered. What treatment
should be given the wallboard
before papering?
Amy difference In thickness
between adjoining boards should
be removed by sandpaper1n9.
When the manufacturer of thu
wallboard suggests special
method Of covering the joints, hia
recommendations should be fol-
lowed. In absence OF other direo-
tons. cover all joints between
boards with two-inch strips Of
buckram tape or wire cloth en-

The surface of the tape should be
made as smooth as possible. using
additional putty IL necessary.
Cover all nail heads with putty
and finish by sandpapering any

coat of paperhanger's size and
allowed to dry before papering.
