WHICH WILL SOLV1U PERPLEXING PROULEMS 410 THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA. Query.-The government has launched an educational campaign to encou/ad building in order to put more men ta work. Would not a similar movement te show how the old 'structures can be beet and most economically repaired and m'ade good as new also help? Answer.-It Is learned that such a plan is in effect and :s linked directly with the Washington propaganda. Industry' mtust be turned back riet works of WAr to tho whys of peke. rnployment must be found, in ItU meanwhile, for those whose ocet tion his been itterrdipted. There is oi real surplusa ltikbr in the Un tint .Stutes. iathel' tihere Is a shortage, which would be acute If nortnal condi. ditlons were already restored, and one step towards restoring them will co'ne with resumption of repair work. Government restrictions, imposed by the necessities of the war program, have for many months past retarded or alloge'ther irevented construction, improvement ai repawI S. These tia irlions are now ofY, and there is scarcely a town, a city, a factory, a dwelling or a farmn that doaes n-tt reveal a crying need for prompt attention. Nothing delays such instant action ex cept the feeling that prices are high for the time helng and may be lower. That is not logical. No matter what it costs to repair, the ero is less than the cost of neglect. No ma tter wi t the cost of paint, the wind and the weather will collect a higher bill to deterioration and decay. Query.-What do you think of paint as an Investment, aside from the appearance it lends? Does It really PAY to paint a house regularly, say, every three or four years? Answer.-Good paint properly ap plied when needed is the main thing in making a house last long and well. A house worth 42,500 can be painted at a cost of about $123. In 60 years that house will need about 15 paintings, the total cost of which will be $1,895. Left without paint, such a house woild fall into complete ruin in 30 years. So taking 60 years as a basis for our fg ures we find that with paint a home will inst that time in good condition and will cost, plus paint, $4,3f5. With out paint the house would have to be rebuilt at the end of 80 years and would be ready for another complete renovation when the sixtieth year ar rived. Cost, without paint, $5,000 for i home ready to fall to pieces. Does 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 repainting my barn? Answer.-On no account should old 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 tinwork. If you value your barn attliciently to paint it, do it the Justice of a good Job. U. S. Invents Anti-Rust "Dope." Incident to the war, lthe government has faced the problemi that has no loug (froved haffl ing to cotnaerelai con-~ (elrns of protectIng iron andr steel from rust. In an attemplt to solve this fed eral speclalists have perfectred various forms of protective contings. In tis connection it may be pertinent to ask whether cotmmerelial uses will not ba found also for the so-enlled "dopes" which the government has Invented to bie applied to airplane wings and which are possessedl of valutale weather-re sisting and lirepiroof qutalities. EFFECT OF COLOR UPON THE DURABILITY OF PAINT. Property owvners who may have 1tm decr consideration the painting of diwellings and other strucitures should remember that more durable results are obtaIned when tited paints aro usxed. Permanent coloring materials which have been grouind by machIne into0 a high grade whIte paint base have thie effect of preventing "chalk lng" and "checking," two defects which are often observe-d when white ipaints are used.
