THE PEOPLE WHO should know say there'll be a big supply of paint this year, . Ward H. Julian, sales manager of the A. Burdsal Co., put it this way: If last year you were able to paint the front porch, this year there's ever possibility that the porch can be given another coat as ‘well as all the window sashes. If you are real fortunate the siding may get one coat of the renovator. One thing sure for 1947. there'll be a wider range of color, Mr, Julian predicted, When you open up a can of paint do you ever stop and wonder how it was manufactured? Well, - paint isn’t’ made with big paddles in big tin cans. At the A. Burdsal Co, a particular type of house coating or finish gets its start in a laboratory. Technicians figure paint out on a small scale. If it passes all the tests, the formula is released to the production department on the third floor. The mixing department gets the first crack at a formula, Choosing the ingredients from huge stacks of powdered lead,“zinc, titanium, which come in 50pound sacks, the mixture is dumped into agitators (mixmasters on a large scale). In the agitator, the mixture with al consistency about like thick marshmallow, is beaten until smooth,

Smooth? Not Yet
THE HOPPER is mounted on top of a roller mil .which really grinds the paint smooth. ‘There are three steel cylinders. One cylinder swooshes through the hopper, picks up a thin coat of paint, rolls against No.” 2 cylinder, which in turn ro'ls against No, cylinder, transferring the paint all this time toward the mouth of the roller mill and another vat, Smooth? Not yet. The vat is rolled to another mixing machine where the thinners are added. The paint gets another stiff beating, . Finally the paint is ready for shading. Ths isa delicate operation. Ralph V. Adams, superintendent of operations, was shading a vat of green paint, The green almost matched a sample, but it still wasn’t’ right. He howed me the samples and I frankly couldn't tell he difference.
But Mr, Adams, who has 18 ‘years’ experience :
with the Burdsal Co., knew that if he sent the sample to the laboratory then, it would be sent back in the morning.
Read ‘the Directions
WHEN THE PAINT is O. K'd, it's strained for any foreign particles which might have fallen in during handling and is ready to be put into cans. Gg Charles H. Carpenter, executive vice president, showed me something interesting about ‘the lids of the paint cans a workman was filling. The lids had YB24 and a 50 on them. The Y stood for 1947, the B for January and the 24 for the 24th. Simple 'sn't it? The 50 was for the formula number, Every paint which is manufactured has a number and the company has 21,600 formulas in their files. After the cans are filled, labels are put or by al machine. and they're put into the stock bins down-| stairs—sometjmes. | Mr, Carpenter said it jsn’t unusual for many a truckload to never reach the bins. The paint is|
shanghaied on the loading platform. There ag been
a scarcity you know. What is one of the biggest problems in the paint business? It's a simple thing. Getting people to read the directions on the back of a paint can,

Indian Puzzler
By Frederick C. Othman
WASHINGTON, Jan, 29.—When is an Indian an Indian and if so—woo! woo!—should you count him when he isn’t, but thinks he is? Or is he? These questions have the pale-faces snarling a! each other, The U. S. census bureau, which operate: out of the commerce department and isn't much interested in psychiatry, says there are alive today 333,000 Indians, including papooses. The Indian bureau, which is part of the interior ‘department and which knows all -about psychology, says there are 393,000 Indians. The figures of the rival nose-counters leave 60,000 ghostly Indians flitting around the reservatioy, eating three meals per day. “And causing considerable confusion in my mind,” sighed Senator William Langer, of N. D., chairman of the civil affairs committee. “But there are Indians and then, well, there are Indians,” patiently explained William Zimmerman, acting Indian commissioner. “Huh?” asked Mr. Langer. « “Oh yes,” Mr. Zimmerman said. hoy: he thinks.” “Who thinks?" asked Mr. Langer. “The Indian thinks,” Mr. Zimmerman said. “Being an Indian is a matter of psychology as much as of blood.”
How to Count Them
MR. LANGER opened his mouth. Then he shut it again. Mr. Zimmerman said an Indian-thinking Indian is an Indian and should be counted even if he's only part Indian. But a non-Indian-thinking, part-Indian, of course, is not an Indian, “Of course?” asked Mr. Langer. “Of course,” Mr. Zimmerman replied. The way Mr. Zimmerman explained it, if a partblood Indian considers himself an Indian, then the

Indian bureau counts him, Otherwise, it ‘doest't. “Once an Indian always an Indian as far as the Indian bureau is concerned,” observed Senator C. Douglass Buck of Delaware. “Tell me, is the Indian -opulation on the increase or on the decrease?” “Increasing,” said Mr. Zimmerman,

A Finally Senator Langer exploded: : “We will ask the .questions and you. will answer them directly. You do not seem to realize that the time has come for the bureaucrats to quit running the senate. The senate from: now on intends to run the bureaus. Now answer the questions.” Mr. Zimmerman's replies still did not satisfy the senators and Mr. Langer then did an unprecedented thing. He ordered his clerk to serve a subpena on Mr. Zimmerman, who interrupted his testimony to accept it. “Now Mr, Zimmerman,” Senator Langer said; “you are our witness, instead of the interior department's. I am going to swear you (he did so) and you are not representing anybody but yourself. Now we want facts on how to reduce expenses of the Indian bureau.” Mr. Zimmerman gulped. The committee gave him until Tuesday to turn up with answers.
Repeat Performance
By Erskine Johnson
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 29.—Before his recent marriage, the fourth one, Louis Calhern was talking things over with his third wife, Natalie Schaefer, who
insists: “We didn't become friends until we were divorced.” Mrs. Calhern No. 4 is 22-year-old Marfanne Stew-
art, 30 years Louis’ junior. Louis, according to Natalie, said: “It's wonderful. We're in love. But she's so
young. I just can't see how it will last.” “Don't worry, . darling,” purred Natalie. “Your marriages always last—for a couple of seasons.” After the wedding, Natalie sent them a telegram reading: “I hope you and Junior will be very happy.” Louis wired right back: “Junior joins me in thanking you for your best wishes.” Natalie and Benay Venuta play a couple of hover girls who hover over heroine Joan Leslie in the new Eagle-Lion movie, “Repeat Performance,” which sounds as if 'it could be the life story of Louis Calhern, but isn’t, .

We, the Women
A PENNSYLVANIA mother of 12 children —all | but four of whom are fully grown — has offered to * sell one of her eyes to the highest bidder so that she can give her younger children “proper. food and a good home.” That's’ the kind of unrealistic, self-sacrificing nonsense — carried to the utmost extreme — that keeps a lot of women from meeting life’s problems in a hard-headed, practical way. © “I'd do. anything for my kids,” such women tell | themselves —and go off on wild tangents instead of sitting down with the kids and figuring out a way whereby the whole family, working together, can solve its financial problems.

But there are older children, too, Many a family, facing that kind of situation, has pulled together, worked hard, and, because eaclr member of the family has shouldered a portion of the responsibility, has come through hard times to security.
No Quick Way
BUT FAMILIES don't pull themselves out of poverty by wild schemes for quick security or by unrealistic plans for self-sacrifice. They do it by hard-headed planning, by hard work, by co-operation, and by the certain conviction that unless they pull together they will never lift themselves out of poverty. The sentimental will have a fleld day over this story of a mother’s offering to trade one of ‘her eyes for security for her young ones. But the mothers who really deserve praise are those who without

The ILS, one of the out-| standing procedures, enables planes! to land in bad weather, It is predicted that push-button control will make landings possible in zero-zero weather, when visibility is at its lowest point, The CAA hopes to have 70 ILS| units in operation over the country by April 1. Currently three of the major airlines have more than half of their planes equipped with the new device. Each ILS installed presents different problems, but’ all follow a basic pattern.

One: is known as'the localizer and informs the pilot if he is to the right or left of the runway, dead center. The other is the glide path station and indicates the rate of descent, These are relayed to the pilot in the form of a horizontal needle bisected by a vertical one, The horizontal depicts the glide, the vertical the degree of variance from center approach.
