Homeseekers TURNING
To used Houses

The "for sale" sign is disappear
ing from more and more older
houses throughout the country-one
encouraging development in the
wartime housing picture.
With material shortages virtually
preventing new construction except
for war workers, homeseekers are
turning in greater numbers to the
purchase Of existing structures, the
Federal Home Loan Bank Admin
istration reported today. It's ON
cials cited two illustrations Of
mounting activity in the used
house" market.
In the first four months of 1912
savings and loan associations made
loans totaling $16l ,022 900 for such
purchases, an increase OF 8 per cent
over the same period in 1941, al
though the same institutions total
lending volume of $342,703 900 for
the four months represented a de-
crease of lib per cent from the
year before. In the month of April
alone more than $50 2,000.0 900 of the
500 900 900 loaned by these asso-
Citations went into home purchases,
a gain of 27.5 per cent over their
March figures on such transactions.

A window box or two, few ge-

the addition of a coat of gay paint

a thing OF beauty.

Deodorized Point
Makes Redecoroting
PIeosont Tosk
Nv HILSON MUNSEY.

The odor of paint often prevents
or delays the repainting Of a room.
There is a paint on the market now
that is deodorized and not merely
masked with a nice smelling per-
fume. 1t enables the house to be
painted indoors at any time with
out the disagreeable consequences
that so often are present. This
paint is made in three finishes
Fat, glossy and semiglossy. 1t is
an oil paint manufactured for use
on inside walls only; it cannot be
used for floors or exterior use. These
paints can be used over any type Of
interior wall surface and also over
old painted surfaces except those
finished with calcimine or water
paint. In these cases the finish
must be removed by thoroughly
washing the old covering of the
walls.
The preparation of the surface to
be painted is most important. The
surface must be washed thoroughly
in water containing good cleaning
powder. After that cracks in the
surface must be filled with patching
plaster. If the cracks are large they
should be scraped out in the form
of an inverted "V" and then filled
with the patching plaster. After
they are dry the patching should
be sandpapered smooth and allowed
to dry thoroughly. In the case Of
new plaster and concrete the sur
face should not be painted for
about three months. Zinc sulphate
or other acid washes should not be
used on new plaster or cement. AL
lowing them to dry out is sufficient.
These new surfaces. however, must
FIRST be prepared with first coat
that Is made by the same manufac-
turer. II the surface is very porous
two applications of this first coat
should be made. A special first coat
also is made for metal surfaces.
These paints need less than the
ordinary amount of stirring, because
they haven't such a strong tendency
to settle. The finishing coats should
not be mixed together to produce
the effect wanted, because the three
finishes provide the necessary lati-
tude of waste, and If the color is not
Of the exact shade desired it can be
changed by the use of ordinary
color in Oil.
These paints do not skin" when
left in the can.
Even though these paints are
odorless the need for proper venti-
lation is just as urgent as in the
use Of ordinary paints because venti-
lation Is necessary for quick drying.
This drying will be done overnight if
the required precautions are taken.
These paints have coverage of
$50 square feet in the case of the
first or priming coat 300 square feet
for the fiat, $50 square feet for the
gloss and semigloss. There are
eight colors from which to choose
in both the gloss and semigloss and
10 in the fat finish.

Why Floors Are Sticky

II floors become sticky after re-
painting, the reason may be that
all traces OF wax or oil were not
first removed. Sometimes the sticky
condition may be remedied by
sponging over with a weak solution
Of ammonia and then finishing with
a thin coat Of freshly cut shellac.
II no sickness is apparent, you may
