Winter PAINTING
Gains Favor,
Say Experts

Exterior painting in winter time
formerly was discouraged on the
general impression that only rela-
lively warm surfaces. well above
the freezing point, would properly
receive and hold paint. That was
before modern research and dem
onstrations with modern paint had
shown that by observing a simple,
common sense procedure. paint
can be applied to relatively cold
surfaces without sacrifice of the
durability of the coating. and even
with advantages, in some respects,
over hot weather painting.
This should be good news to
property owners and TO painters,
for normally the colder months
have provided fewer painting jobs
and there has been more unem-
ployment in the painting business
than in the warmer seasons of the
year. Winter painting can help to
equaliZe the work and relieve the
spring rush which often has been
marked by shortage of painters.

Foreclosures Off
1877 Last Year

Rejecting higher incomes and
stronger real estate values in many
cities, estimated non-farm real es-
tate foreclosures for the United
States totaled only AZ 800 in 1912,
a drop OF 20 per cent from the
previous year. the National Hous-
ing Agency reports.
The foreclosure rate for the
year was 1.9 cases per 1000 struc-
lures in the country, the lowest in
the past IL years. The 1912 decline
marks the ninth successive year
in which foreclosure totals have
fallen, beginning with the large
scale refinancing of distressed
home mortgages which was mi
tiated by the Home Owners Loan
Corp, by direction of Congress in
1899.

WASHINGTON, March Is =
Fractional increases in both labor

average of 100. However. it is
only 3 per cent higher than in the

Falls Are Responsible
For Many Deaths

Half of the deaths due TO home
accidents last year were occa-
stoned by falls. high percentage
Of which were in poorly lighted
stairways. Use of white paint TO
reflect light and the painting of
stair edges white, in combination
with lighting fixtures, is an impor-
tant help in preventing such
deaths and also in preventing a
far larger number of dangerous
and costly injuries.

Smoke Pipe
Should Be Kept
In Good Shape.

Householders occasionally COM
plain of smelling smoke in their
Easements, and on some occasions
even upstairs. This condition is
easily remedied-especially if the
smoke pipe is in good shape and
the chimney has sufficient draft.
The amount of draft in the
chimney depends on the baromet-
ric pressure. Thus, ii is possible
that on a "rnuggyh day there will
not be sufficient draft to take all
the products of combustion out of
the furnace. il the check-draft
damper has been set for a clear,
windy day.
The check-draft always should
be closed when adding fuel 10 the
fire so that any smoke created
will be drawn into the smoke pipe
rather than out into the furnace
room. You must remember, of
course, never TO cover all the
burning Goals with fresh Goals
when refueling.
WILL GIVE ADVICE
The fuel engineering division of
Appalachian Goals, Inc, Transpor-
tation Building, Cincinnati, o., will
be glad TO give advice on any heat
ing problem confronting you.
Simply address letter to Appa-
lachian Goals, Inc, setting forth
your trouble and it will receive a
prompt reply. There is no charge
for this service.
A letter 10 the same address
will bring free a copy of the
booklet. "Stoker Etiquette" that
explains in simple. non-technical
language the proper manner in
which TO operate your stoker.
Owe have considerable diff
Guilty heating the dining room of
our house. This room faces the
south so that if anything it should
be warmer than other parts of the
house Can you explain this?
INSTALL BLOWER
A-According to the diagram
you sent with your letter, it is ap-
parent that your dining room is
situated at too great a distance
from your warm-air furnace. Hap
PLY it will not be necessary to
move your furnace for by simply
having your dealer install a fan or
blower you can get the benefit of
forced circulation. And, during the
hot summer months you can use
this blower TO force cool basement
air into your bedrooms and thus
enjoy restful sleep on the hottest
night.
If you do not want TO convert
your entire system 10 forced air,
YOU can buy a small booster fan"
for less than $40, which will fit
into the register of this room and
force warm air into the room.
Owe have peculiar situation
with our furnace. For weeks we
will have no trouble. Then sud-
denly our draft seems to be cut
and the coal will not burn. Oddly
enough this happens on windy days
when one would assume the draft
would be greater. Can you tell
how to overcome this difficulty
SHORT CHIMNEY
A-From your description i'll
would seem that your chimney is
too shot-or at least that the top
of your chimney is lower than the
apex of your roof. When the wind
blows from certain directions ii
will cause downdrafts in your
chimney which may Smother your
fire. The simplest way to correct
this is to install chimney pot on
the top of your chimney. Then
when the wind blows and swoops
down the side of the roof, it will
not enter the chimney and kill the
draft.

 Freddy served seven years under the tough little Napoleon of the New York Giants and made his debut in typical McGraw manner last night by pigeon toeing out of a wrangle with the umpires and making Cox happy.
 Fitzsimmons shifted the lineup, concentrating the power, and it paid off for two straight wins out of the first three games.

Jelly-Making: Don't be too am
bilious. You'll have more sue
cess and be less tired out if you
can only small quantities of fruit
at a time and "do it right"
Unless you have all your neigh
bors and cousins and family
helping you on canning, and have
to tackle the job alone, do not
try to put up bushels of produce.
Have a day for jelly-making
and jam-making just as you set
aside day for washing and iron
ing. Make it a rule not to have
housekeeping or any other big
job on the same day for you'll be
too tired to concentrate as you
should on canning.
Select your jars and examine
them for cracks or imperfections
the day before you do your cam
ming. Get them all washed, too,
so sterilizing is the only big job
you have left when actual jelly
making day comes up.
In getting Strawberries ready
for canning or jelly, wash them
before hulling. They won't drink
up as much water that way.
