ment station, offering as evidence
reports from 48 rural women in
that state who finished floors in
their homes. They reported on
l3l floors. 81 of pine, 70 of oak.
Shellac was used on half these
floors, penetrating seal on q per
cent, varnish on 18 per cent.
Penetrating seal proved most
satisfactory and also required the
least time and effort, the report
concludes. All the women who
finished floors with the seal
were satisfied with the results.
Many also were satified with
shellac and varnish but some had
objections. Some complained
about white spots or scratches
which soon showed on shellac.
Some who used varnish said that
traffic lanes looked scratched al
most Immediately after the floor
was used.
A better understanding OF the
floor finishes is needed.
Shellac and varnish form a film
over the surface of the wood to
protect and beautify it, but they
can be scratched or marred by
grit carried in on shoes. Though
worn places in the finish may be
repaired, it is difficult to prevent
the patching from showing. White
spots on shellac are caused by

profits.
Before long, wen not only have
cool nights put cold days and
nights. The windows and doors
on 3 sides of the poultry house
must then be closed permanent
" for the winter. If these win
dows and doors do not fit tight
w. they may need to be stripped.
Tack a strip of lathing or other
material over cracks around the
windows and doors to keep out
drafts.
Even on the one open side of
the house you may have to put a
drop curtain or plan to partially
close the windows.
Another change for winter COM
fort of your hens is to add more
litter on the floor. Floor litter
should be 8 to 10 inches deep.
Planer mill shavings make a good
litter. This deep litter helps keep
the house dry and keep the birds
warmer and more comfortable.
Check the roof for any leaks
that might let cold rain drip in
and cause a wet floor. Provide
for ample water and feeder space
for this winter. Plenty Of clean,
fresh water is a must for the cold
days ahead.
Every day look over your flock
and Gull out any birds that look
weak or off feed.

terials which sink into the wood,
sealing the pores and giving a
pleasant sheen through not a high
gloss on the surface. Many good
products of this type are on the
market. A seal finish wears well,
does not scratch with ordinary
use, is easily patched when nee
essary and is maintained by wax
ing. To use seal on a floor pre-
viously finished with shellac or
varnish, complete sanding and
cleaning is necessary.
Worth confederation also is re-
finishing floors when the house is
occupied is the time the floor
must be out of service while the
finish dries or sets. The Rhode
Island women reported that var
nished floors were out of service
an average of SIS hours, shellack-
ed Al hours, penetrating seal 20
hours. Only one coat of shellac
or varnish was used but two or
three applications of the seal were
used. Seal can be applied every
20 or 80 minutes, as fast as the
wood absorbs it. Then the excess
is wiped off and the floor left
overnight before waxing.
How much time does it take
to apply these finishes? In this
study the women reported an
average of So minutes to she1lac
100 square feet; an hour and IA
minutes for varnish; about Is
minutes for seal.

Despite the fact that they talk i'll tech

/. Corporate profits cater payment
of taxes for 1918 will total between $50

They Always Blame
The Workers

Anything urplcasant-such as hleh
prices. a railroad wreck or industrial
disputes"-is promptly blamed on the
workers by most daily papers. Fol
loyine that custom. a Washington edi-
tor publicly scoldcd government work
ers this week for the shocking failure
OF the Capital City's Community
Chest" money raising campaign.
This time. the workers had an able
defender in {. G. Davidson, Assistant
Secretary OF the Interior, who headed
the money raising among government
employees.
He wrote the editor pointing out that
the government workers contributed
Sl25,0O0 more this year than last year,
while the campaign as a whole fell 70
per cent short OF its goal. Obviously
it was the businessmen OF Washington
including wealthy newspaper owners
who did not do their part.

WE'VE OFTEN SAID THE
SAME THING

We'll wager our best New Years leso-
luton against an injunction that Il lot OF
folks (%including as were shocked by the
editorial i'll the Dec. Is issue of Business
Week, a McGraw-Ilill magazine.
The editorial. entitled why the Taft
Hartley Act Failed" says III part:
What was wrong with the Taft-Hart-
lev Act was that it went too far. 1t
crossed the narrow line separating a. law
which aims only to regulate from one
which could destroy.
Given a few million unemployed III
America, given an administration III
Washington which was not pro-union-
and the Taft-Hartley Act conceivably
could destroy the labor movement.
These are the provisions which could
do it: (1) pickcting can be restrained by
Injunction; (2) employers can petition for
a collective bargaining election; C3) strik-
ers can be held ineligible to votc-whilc
the strike requirements cast the only bal
lots: and (4) if the outcome Of this is a
>no-nnion' vote, the government must
certify and enforce it.
ANY time there is a surplus labor
pool from which an employer can hire at
least token strike requirements, these
four provisions, linked together, presum-
ably can destroy Il union.
by going that far, the law defeated
itself. 1t was more than a pendulum
swing away from the Wagner Act. ="
TO us there are two interesting thing.
about the Business Week editorial:
The magazines labor editor served a
labor adviser to Tom Dewey during tn,
recent Presidential campaign.
The viewpoint expressed parallels TIL
