You might just as well say' hunk or taffy or softsoap. They mean the same thing. . But "applesauce" isn't restrict ed to pretty speeches and com pliments. There's a whole lot of it in "cheap" paint. For instance, when someone tells you that a paint which sells at a. very attractive low price Is just as good as Sherwin-Willrams SWP for example which is one of the highest priced paints that it will give you a -beautiful job a durable job and last far a long, long time, that's applesauce of the purest kind. Try" to paint your house with that kind of apple sauce and .what a sad awakening there will be. You can lay this down as a hard fact: "The lower the price per gallon of house paint the more gallons you will need and the poorer paint job you will get." House paint must be pure made of finest materials in the most skillful manner to stand up under the exposure to weather. Cheap paint is naturally made of cheap materials or reduced ma terials. No one can cut the price without cutting the quality, or there wouldn't be any profit. Even if you bought direet from the manufacturer the saving in middleman's profits would not nearly make up for the difference in price. A good paint would still cost much more per gallon. When you reduce the quality you reduce the covering and hid ing quality. The paint becomes "wishy-washy." You need more gallons. You get a poor finish cheap, insipid colors that fade quickly and the actual cost of the paint is just the same as if you had bought the best paint in the first place. Furthermore, the cheap paint job is cheap looking. The colors bleach out quickly the film cracks and peels. Where a fine quality paint looks good for five years or thereabouts, the low price paint is all shot to pieces in a year or so. That means two or three complete repaint jobs be fore one repainting Is needed over the "quality" paint. And the ex tra repainting cost you can mark down as -actual money loss which yon would save by using the best paint you could buy in the first place. There's no "applesauce" about these facte. They will save you money. If you want further proof that it pays to use good house paint, call at the store. pin OF WALLS i OFFER ADVANTAGES Exact Treatment for Walls i During Entire1 Process of i Painting Given 1 By Jane Stewart That painted walls, have come to stay is a fact assured by the combined advantages r which they offerbeauty and variety of fin ish, economy, sanitation. They are the decree of common sense as well as of fashion.. Satisfactory from every point of view If well constructed and finished, the mat ter of their preparation is of su preme importance. Although many substitute wall covering materials, designed to lower coit of construction, have appeared in recent years, nothing has yet been devised which Is as Tiling fill satisfactory" as plaster.' -The base of the plaster (is the I first matter to be considered. ' Cracks, due to shrinkage and swelling,! are caus ed, as a rule, by Inferior wood lathing. j Since -Ihs better 'type of wood lath is practically extinct, builders are now widely using the metal lath, jwhh-h is not subject to absorption of moisture and sul sequent drying out, and possesses the added, advantage of a distinct reinforcing property. In the long run it Is Teas expensive, furnishing a more durable construction and an inevitably satisfactory finish, and it is fireproof. The preparation of plaster walls for painting is simple but the di rections must be carefully fol lowed. - The plaster must, of course, be thoroughly dry before decoration can be started. The first step is to eliminate the free lime, apt to be present In -the plaster, which, if allowed to re main, will mar. the final finish with spots or "burns." A solu tion of zinc sulphate, about eight ounces to a gallon of water, ap plied with a brush, will prevent this disastrous effect. Next, the walls should bje sand papered and any cracks or small holes' which may be present should be filled with plaster of paris. , The surface is then quite smooth and even. But because of its porous nature it is not yet pre pared to receive the paint. The suction which takes place if paint is applied to plaster in this con nection results in an absorption of the oil, leaving the pigment on the surface in such- way that it would soon dust off. Even the application of two or three coats will fail to produce a durable or an even finish. For this reason it is necessary to prime the plas ter, the most successful prepara tion for this purpose being boiled linseed oil or a good wall varnish. Under no condition' should a cheap Bo-called "sizing varnish" be used. This process is also essential for wall board, even more porous than plaster. In this case, how ever, the treatment with zinc sul phate is to be omitted, as there is no free lime present. The walls are now ready to be painted. Three coats are always advisable for new work, and will prove an economy. The first coat should" bo sharp, that is, long in turpentine and short in oil. The second should conta'u a larger proportion of oil. To insure satis factory results it i? imperative in this, as in any other paint job, that the work should not be rushed. Three full days should be allowed for the drying of each coat. For the final coat consider able variety 'is offered, the choice depending upon the type of finish desired. Color, glossy or flat sur face, and decoration such as strip- pling or stenciling are to be con sidered. In the case of repainting, the walls must be thoroughly cleansed and then rinsed with clean water If formerly, pair.led or calclminedj they should be brushed with a wire brush to. remove all loose particles. In any event, the re sults will be more assuredly satisr factory if the surface is gone over with sandpaper.

This com parison and check-up was made with the operating cost of two other fleets of well known light four-cylinder cars, ' also used in conjunction with the Whippets. Figures . compiled, by statisti cians of the Missouri municipal ity reveal 'that the Whippets cost the city 46.92 each per month to operate. The figures. also show that the, cost for operating one of the other light four-cylinder fleets is $72.22 each while the third fleet of light four cost $63.05 each per month. - This places the Whippet operating cost $16.13 less per car each month than its nearest rival and $25 less than the cost per car of the third fleet. The Investigation also disclosed that the various cars of the three fleets average 4,050 miles eadh per month. This gives a mileage cost for the fleets as follows: Whippet, .0114 cents per mile; second fleet, .0130 cents per mile; third fleet, .015 cents per mile. These fleets of cars operated by the Kansas City police depart ment are subjected to severe tests, being in operation 24 hours a day and In the majority of cases they are pushed for speed and their stamina is constantly under pres sure. The record low operating cost established by the Whippet fleet is cited by Willys-Overland offi-H cials, not only as an indication of the fuel saving qualities of the Whippet but as a tribute to the sturdiness of the car under the most gruelling tests. The fact that the Whippet og erating cost is kept at 8U& a low .figure also is an indication that' they are always ready for duty, never being laid up for re pairs or adjustments. .It is pointed that it the Whip pets were unable to stand up un der the 24-hour grind the operat ing cost would be on a par with Fishin' ? ? i .
