rectangular house is equally a demon
stration of the acme of practicability.
It would perhaps win no prizes in an archi
tectural contest unless the judges chanced
to be of the old school. , But no one Who
examines the floor - - -nlan,
and who con
siders the positive
rugged strength of ;
these common brick
walls, will deny that
it offers unusual,
promise of living
comfort, fire-safety,
economy in heating -and
a minimum .ex
pense of upkeep.
And these are fea
tures not lightly tj
be dismissed.
This tyne of house
is one of the most
economical to build.
ts walls are straight

Reduced .Quality Means a
Higher Quantity With Fre
quent Applications
When someone pays you a com
pliment that is obviously exagger
ated and too good to ne true you
call it "applesauce" a the slang of
the day.! 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.

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. Subsequent treat
ment Is the same as for new woi k

Cost City $46.92 a Month to
Operate, When- Traveling
4050 Miles
A check-up by Kansas City of
ficials Into the operating cost of
a police "hot shot" Squad of Whip
pets discloses this fleet of cars is
proving the most economical ever
operated by that city. 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
