PARIS STRIKES MOURNFUL TONE IN ARMS NOTE Calls for Recruits as New Demand for Security Is Given British. By Vnitrd Press LONDON. March 24—A somewhat funereal note from France on disarmament left Great Britain still willing today to seek further for a solution of the problem. As the note was published, the French war ministry announced that beginning April 6 it would accept eighteen-month enlistments from men who had fulfilled their compulsory military training period of one year. Lea ue of Nations headquarters at Geneva announced that 4.000,000 men were under arms in Europe, and that an additional 32,000.000 could be mobilized at any tinle, ready for war. The French note showed no real progress—rather a solidification of the deadlock that has existed for many months. France demanded, in brief, that if Germany were permitted to disarm. Britain and other nations must guarantee France's security. It was specified that “consultation” would not be enough—that there must be certainty of prompt and effective penalities against any nation, meaning Germany, which proved aggressive. Germany could do nothing more reassuring as regards her peacefulness. the French not said, than to rejoin the League of Nations. Despite the tone, the British government expressed hope that the “door is not closed.” It was said that the government was not prepared to guarantee the inviolability of any frontiers, as the French note seemed to ask. Some optimists suggested that Britain might be willing to consider “some form of common action” against a European violator of a disamrament agreement provided the United States' attitude was satisfactory. It was intimated that this would involve an American promise not to preserve diplomatic and trade intercourse with a nation condemned as a violator. CCC PROSPECTS DROP, STATE BOARD SAYS Many More Applicants Needed to Fill County Quota. A sharp decline in the number of applications for enrollment in the civilian conservation corps is noticed at the state employment service headquarters, 310 North Meridian stret. Although about 750 have applied, Martin F. Carpenter, state director of the service, said that so many of these will not qualify that many more applicants are needed to fill the quota of 558 for Marion county. After the rush of applications on the first two days, when 568 were interviewed at the rate cf nine men every five minutes, the lines outside headquarters thinned until yesterday the count showed that only sixty-two had registered.

Butler, former marine corps storm center, today predicted war between Japan and Russia. “Japan is in for a war with Russia soon,” he said. “If we strengthen our forces in Hawaii and make that an impregnable outpost, we needn’t worry about Japan. “I’m one of those who think Russia will lick Japan. Not because they can’t fight, but because of Russia's greater manpower and resources.”

She was found in wreckage of an auto near Waukegan. 111. Kittleman had died of a bullet wound. Hands of both were coated with paraffin to ascertain if they contain nitrate specks, always present after a pistol is fired, scientists say, to determine who fired the fatal shot. They decided that Kittleman himself fired the shot.

Employment has increased 100 per cent and it is expected many more‘will be employed. Arrangements are now' under way for a plant in addition to the one at 925-Ft. Wayne avenue. The Allied company has produced a product that has aroused attention of national advertisers. The company has just received orders from the Falls City Brewing Company. Louisville, Ky„ for more than 300 signs, for display in Indiana, Kentucky and southern points. The sign company has built more than 2,000 signs for manufacturers that have been distributed locally. All Neon advertising in Indianapolis by the Falls City Brewing Company has been constructed by the Allied firm. F. W.

PROTECTIVE QUALITY OF PAINT EXPLAINED Research Chemist Describes Oil and Pigment Combination. By Times Special WASHINGTON, March 24. Paint forms a protective armor for structural materials because of the nature of its ingredients, according to Lee Hart, Washington research chemist. “Paint is composed principally of a pigment mixed in oil,” Mr. Hart says. “A pigment is the powdered form of some highly insoluble material. such as the colored compounds of lead, iron and the like. Rouge, for example, is a finely powdered form of iron oxide. Just as rouge w’ould not stick to the cheeks if it was not for the natural oil in the skin, a powdered pigment will not adhere to the surface of a house unless it is combined with oil.” Linseed oil is generally used fer this purpose, Mr. Hart explained, “because it has the peculiar property of being able to absorb oxygen from the atmosphere, so that the oil itself is changed into a tough, leathery material. Thus changed by a natural chemical process, the oil acts as a cement, holding the metallic particles of pigment in place, and making a complete protective film over the surface.” COLOR HARMONY URGED • Scheme Should be Decided Upon in Painting Work. The psvhcologicai value of color and color harmony underty all principles of interior decorations. It is, therefore, essential to know the fundamental facts about these before proceed.ng with your painting project. Fresh, eye-pleasing colors are particularly important these days because of their power to encourage and stimulate. New Paint Sells Renters If you’ve property to rent, study the kitchens and bath rooms critically. Prospective tenants always are favorably impressed by new'ly painted walls and woodwork in these rooms. Their appearance is apt to prove a deciding factor in closing the deal.

CONCRETE PAINT MAUEJFFICIENT Neutralizating Lime Before Applying Coat Among Important Factors. By Times Special WASHINGTON, March 24.—'The need for and the method of applying paint protection to concrete is discussed authoritatively in the current issue of Real Estate Magazine by Dr. Maximilian Toch, well known scientist in this field. It is of primary importance in the painting of cement to neutralize the lime in the material before starting the main work, Dr. Torch says. He ponits out that although cement was invented more than a hundred years ago, it was not until the early part of this century that the science of painting concrete became known. Until that time, he says. He points out that although paint would not stick to concrete and it was, therefore, futile to attempt it. “This was true,” he continues, “because up to the beginning of the twentieth century there were no other paints except linseed oil paints, and linseed oil disintegrates when it comes in contact with moist concrete. “With the discovery of China wood oil, it became possible to paint concrete floors and concrete interiors so that the coatings not only would keep out water but would adhere and form a sightly surface.” Dr. Toch says the best neutralizing treatment for cement is an application of a chemical known as the double fluosilicate of zinc and magnesia. This produces a whittish scum the day following application, which easily may be removed for painting. DECORATING IDEA GIVEN Wallboard Can Be Background for • Colorful Treatment. Rooms that have been converted into recreation rooms or home bars with partitions of walllboard, frequently demand novel and unusual color treatment. If the wallboard has not already been sized, treat it with a good interior spar varnish thinned with turpentine to about the consistency of linseed oil. If a small quantity of the paint that is to be used as the finish coat is addeed to the varnish-size, the size coat often will answer the purpose of a priming coat. The wallboard may then be finished with two or three coats of any wall paint. Paint Destroys Germs Anew application of paint is considered one of the most effective ways of driving out germs, medical authorities declare.

CHEAP PAINTS CALLED EXPENSIVE AS BARGAIN Fail Both in Durability and Protecting Surface. Paints that are inferior because of cheap ingredients or manufactuie are a costly bargain to home owners, according to Ernest T. Trigg, president of the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association. “Builders have figured that approximately 75 per cent of the cost of the average paint job is for labor and only 25 per cent for material. Since cheaply made paint neither lasts nor adequately protects the surface it is supposed to cover, it is obviously poor economy to purchase a material that will last only half as long as paint costing a few dollars more, and then be obliged to pay for having the job done all over again.” MORE PAINT EXPORTED American Lacquers and Varnishes Also Sold Abroad. ! Comparing 1933 figures with those j of the preceding years, the department of commerce at Washington i reports gains in exports in the | quantity and value of ready-mixed paints, lacquers and varnishes. Exports of ready-mixed paints, ! stains and enamels during 1933 totaled 1,201.930 gallons, valued at j $2,147,071, while the 1932 figures were 1.044,575 gallons, with a value ! of $2,015,575. Filling Floor Cracks Floor cracks may be filled easily i in preparation for painting, if they | are less than a quarter of an inch |in width. Knead pure linseed oil, | whiting putty and some dry white ! lead into a stiff mass, tinting with | a little dry color to match the floor. Pencil the cracks with boiled oil land press the mixture in firmly with a putty knife. Rough edges may be j smoothed over by wetting the knife * with turpentine.
