Need Attention

Failure to properly putty and
paint nallheadS is likely 10 result
in unsightly Streaks Of rust de-
Scending from ruSted nailheads
and diSfguring the paint job The
way TO prevent this is by puttying
all nalheadS which are below the
surface OF the wood after the
printing coat has been put on and
then painting over the putty. the
same as the rest of the surface, or
if the nailheadS are even with the
surface, by giving them the same
painting as the wood.
If proper attention 10 the nail
heads was neglected and they have
,Iusted. they should be thoroughly

Discuss Best Camouflage
Methods and Paints

In a discussion OF the use of
blaCkout and camouflage paints,
held recently some suggestions
which are contrary to the general
public concept of blackout paint
ing were developed
These suggestions include the
following
! While in general. blackout
paints are usually thought of as
being black. any other color
which may be dictated by a gen
erai camoutlage scheme may be
used
2 One of the purposes of paint
ing windows is TO DESTROY retlec-
tons which are frequently visible
for long distances For this reason
it is recommended that windows
be painted on the outside. Win
dowS in factories thus painted Will
prevent the light used for illumi-
nation during working hours from
coming through.
3-In cases where it is desired
TO paint the inside OF the windows.
some method of flatting the glass
outside should be employed unless
it is certain that no reflections
above the horizontal Will result.
d Where the interiors OF win
dows are painted black, and the
illumination in factories has con
sequently been reduced. flat white
paints may be applied over the
black TO restore the illumination
to some extent,
> When colored paints for glass
are required, other than black. in
order TO tone in with the color Of
the buildings the paints could be
accumulated with any Coloring
available to give the color
effect desired, provided the opacity
is sufficient 10 obscure the light
from the interior of the factory.
6-For general Camouflage OF
and structures. and
where no great quantities Of paint
are required quickly. paints may
be purchased in the form Of ordi-
nary house paints or building
paints from local paint or hard
ware dealers. They can be applied
and. if they form a glossy film,
sand may be thrown against the
surface TO dull the finish

and slip covers, And you can buy
gay, childish patterns that will
enhance the room or set the color
theme. Use patterned fabrics
against walls that are solid color
although stencils and decals,
placed not too closely together,
may be regarded as solid walls
Plain colored fabrics show
wrinkles and soil quickly, so pat
terms are better. We have seen
nurseries delightfully."- done in
crinkled crepe and Seersucker. so
easy 10 care for because no iron
ing is required. Heavy weight
bleached or unbleached muslin is
a good choice and color can be
introduced by using colored bias
tapes. cords. rickrack tape or balls
of string TO trim.
The walls should be light-any
color but only the paleSt tones
and the furniture II IL is painted
should be light too.

Painting
Suggestion for Best Method
Of Preparing Wood

Preparation OF new, Imprinted
wood for painting Is simple, but
highly important. busting off loose
dirt. removing mortar. plaster OF
cement with sandpaper or a
scraper, and making sure that the
surface is perfectly dry and free
from grease. usually is sufficient.
After the printing coat Is dry
nail holes and loose joints should
be filled with putty or a crack
filler. However. If the wood has
knots and coarse grain fun Of
rosin or pitch. the rosin or pitch
may be Charred with blow
torch or a thin coat OF orange
shellac should he put on all
pitChy spots before painting.

The most wonderful room in the
house. the most delightful TO do
and decorate. is the nursery. Even
though it doesn't require any but
the essential furnishings, and al
though the young occupant won't
be aware of the decorations, doing
the nursery IS really fun,
To begin with. the nursery needs
a tiny bed, a cot and chair for
mother or nurse, a table fOf dress
ing the baby and a chest for
clothes and supplies As the baby
grows. the tiny bed becomes a
junior crib, the cot still remains
and the chest of drawers continues
TO do duty but the table gives
way TO a smaller table and chairs.
Children'S furniture is beautiful
and practical IN painted woods
and you can usually buy crib
and a junior bed 10 match II

"a brand new crib and an odd

A.-The answer 10 this question
is definitely yes Tests at the
Research Residence of the Uni

Kitchen Requires
Periodic Repdinting

There is bound TO be a lot OF
steam. moisture and grease IN
almost any kitchen. Cumulatively
this results in greasy deposits on
walls. ceiling and floor. This calls
for washable finishes and periodic
repainting. An abundance of light
in a kitchen is essential Kitchen
finishes should be in light tints as
an aid TO seeing, sanitation and
household efficiency.
