Surely it is completely errone-

If the surface is scratched a
bit. it will be found that insect
wire screening is not such a COM
monplace product as some might
think.
There's more to screening than
just keeping insects and bugs out.
There's the effect the type of
screening used will have on the
house paint and the amount of
light and air that will still be per-
mitted to enter a room.
In addition, there's general ap-
pearance as it ages-whether it
will sag or bulge, leaving an un-
slightly appearance, or if it will
just pull away from its frame and
have to be replaced after a short
life.
A new quality insect plastic
screen cloth won't rust or corrode.
Its finish is permanent. will re-
quire no painting and it will not
bleed or stain the house paint.
This polyvinylindene chloride
plastic screening showed up very
satisfactorily in a series of tests
conducted by the manufacturer.
Some of the many tests it was
subjected to were an accelerated
Weathering test which consisted
of an exposure to light containing
a high percentage of ultraviolet;
immersion in distilled water; i'm
mersion in salt water and exposure
to salt spray.
This plastic screening requires
no protective coating of any kind
since its color is in the hlament
itself. It does not fade. lit cleans

over the outlook for making gaso-

to be profitable.
The Secretary has repeatedly
said the Nation must commercially
produce synthetic fuels. He haH
also taken steps to set aside $400
million in Government funds for
possible use to encourage building
of a plant for making liquid fuels
and chemicals by the hydrogena-
ton of coal process,
II am very much encouraged by

told reporters before leaving for
Kentucky today.
Ebasco Services, Inc, engineer
ing-business conSultant firm OF

to evaluate cost estimates of the
Bureau of Mines for making gaso-
line from coal after the National
Petroleum Council differed greatly
with the bureau.
With all cost estimates based
on conditions as of January /
1851, Ebasco estimated gasoline
could be made by the coal hydro
Igenation process at a cost of II
cents a gallon and small profit
could be realized when revenues

In this kit the one bristle brush
converts from one 4-inch wall

or a 112-inch sash brush. The
handle of the 4-inch wall brush
is detachable and adjustable while
the 4-inch brush itself is made of
two independent sections which
allows its versatility of use. The
brush handle incidently. contains
Ia built-in screwdriver which
makes conversion a simple pro-
