POINTERS FOR PAINTERS
i A wooden house usually needs a new coat of paint every six
years, a brick house about every ten. If this is the year to paint
your home, the following tips from experts may come in handy.
, Chuoiing I'ainl
For exterior*, paint with a zinc
oxide base i* best. The zinc-based
paint* hold their color longer,
they’re fume-proof, they last
longer, and they are less likely
to crack or ‘‘alligator’’. While
storing the paint at home before
use, keep the cans upside down.
That way, half the mixing job
will be done for you by the time
you get around to mixing.
Brushes
The best brushes are made with
hog bristles. Nylon is next best.
Horsehair wears out quickly.
Brushes are available in three
basic shapes: flat, oval or with
chisel-cut bristles. Use a flat
brush if the surface is flat, oval
«n> narrow surfaces — windows,
for example — and the chisel-cut
brush where a sharply-defined
line is, required. " • ,
Avoiding Trouble
Moisture is the major cause of
painting headaches. A wet sur
face spells trouble. So never
paint immediately after a rain
fall,, but wait until walls are
thoroughly dry. Be sure gutters,
downspouts and flashing are in
good shape before painting, and
sec that faulty plumbing doesn’t
make exterior walls moist.
Finally, try to do your painting
on a clear, mild day — never in
humid weather.
If you’ve taken your dealers
advice in choosing the paint best
suited for the surface you must
cover, selected brushes for their
quality rather than their price,
and taken care to paint on a
clear, mild day, you’re likely to
wind up with a-job you can be
proud of for years.

At 21c per quart, good freestone peaches are a bargain. You
usually save at least 10c per quart compart'd to what you would pay
for commercially canned (No. 2V4 tin w about 10% Iona than 1 nt ).
Savings arc still greater when you grow your own peaches, or buy
them nt less than the above price. ....
la these calculations, the jar cost Is figured on a 10 year jar life,
as shown bv independent surveys. Fuel cost was developed from
tests, while lid and sugar figures are hosed on current prices. The
U. S. Dciwtrtment of Agriculture shows the yield from a bushel of
peaches to be 18 - 24 qts. ....
Similar calculations for other items, such as tomatoes and relishes,
show comparable savings; so that it is conservative to say that home
canning saves 10c per jar. Studies made by a leading research
organisation show that well over 1,600,000,000 jars are canned each
year Here, then, is how women make big homo earnings by home
canning: 1,500,000,000 jars canned X 10c = $150,000,000.
