Rules for House Painting.

A widespread movement to preserve national and private property has aroused great' interest in the materials which will assist in such preservation. Paint is by far the most important, agency in the- protection of exterior, surfaces agalnstdeterloratlon through heat and moisture. Paint means color; and just as the degree H protection produced through paint varies accoi ding to the quality of that material Itself, so the effect of colors produced with paint depends greatly upon the character of the different hues in which the various kinds of are manufactured. Pure or bright colors have their place, while grayed neutral colors are often necessary to assist in producing the right appearance; but the intense or dull dead colors should always be avoided in exterior painting.— People’s Home Journal.
