QUESTIONNAIRE ANSWk-RS WHICH WILL SOLVE PERPLEXING PROBLEMS OF THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA. I Query.—The government h»» Hunched ; an educational campaign to encourage ’ building In order to put more men to | work. Would not a similar movement to , show how the old structures can be best | and most economically repaired and made j, good as new also help? Answer. —It is learned that such a plan Is in effect and Is linked directly with the Washington propaganda. Industry must be turned back from works of war to the ways of peace. Employment must tie found, in the meanwhile, for those whose occupation has been interrupted. There is no real surplus of labor lu the United States. Rather there is a shortage, j' which would be acute if normal condi- 1 ditions were already restored, and One j step towards restoring them will come | ( w ith resumption of repair work Government restrictions, imposed by the necessities of the war program, / have for many months past retarded i or altogether prevented construction, improvement and repairs. These re- •' strictions are now off, and there is 1 scarcely a town, a city, a factory, a i dwelling or a farm that does not reveal ' n crying need for prompt attention. .1 Nothing delays such instant action except the feeling that prices are high, for the time being and may be lower. £ That is not logical. No matter what !j it costs to repair, the cost is less than j the cost of neglect No matter what . the cost of paint, the wind! and the ( weather will collect a higher bill in , deterioration and decay. t -—~ L Query —What do you think of paint as 1 , an Investment, aside from the appearance It lends? Does it really PAY to paint a I house regularly, say, every three or four < years? Answer.—Good paint properly np- ' plied when needed is the main thing in making a house last long and well. A 1 house worth $2,500 can be painted at s ' cost of about $125. In GO years that < house will need about 15 paintings, i the total cost of which will be $1.89.5. Left without paint, such a house would ; fall into complete ruin in 30 years. So ’ taking GO years as a basis for our fig- i ares we find that with paint a home ] will last that time In good condition | and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. With- j out paint the iiouse would huSe to be * rebuilt at the end of 30 years and 1 would be ready for another complete | renova”r«n when the sixtit ; .i ar arrived. Cost, without paint, S,,.'"JO for ( a home ready to fall to pieces. I>. “s regular painting pay? As the old Dutch adage says: -PAINT PAYS FOR ITSELF.” Query-—I have a quantity of old paint on hand. Can I use It for the first coat in i repainting my barn? Answer. —On nh account should ol<l paint which has become fat be used | for priming either old or new work. ■ Old paint in that condition Is best used on a fence, brickwork or tin work If t you value your barn sufficiently to paint it, do it the justice of a good job. U. S. Invents Anti-Rust “Dope.” Incident to the war, the government has faced the problem that has so long ! proved baffling to commercial con- | ceres of protecting iron and steel from rust. In an attempt to solve tliis fedend specialists have perfected various forms of protective coatings. In this connection it may be pertinent to ask* whether commercial uses will not be j found also for the so-called •’dopes”, which the government has invented to be applied to airplane wings and which are possessed of valuable weather-re-sisting and fireproof qualities. EFFECT OF COLOR UPON THE DURABILITY OF PAINT, Property owners who may have under consideration the painting of dwellings and other structures should remember that more durable results are obtained when tinted paints are used. Permanent coloring materials which have been ground by machine into a high grade white paint base have the effect of preventing “chalking” and “cheeking,” two defects which are often observed when white paints are used, PRETTY COLOR COMBINATIONS.
