IITHEN built-up roofing has been
VV ripped and torn, loose sections

Scatter sand over exposed areas.
If tar or cement remains sticky.
Q.—Suggest formulas for produc-
ing the following Colors from white
lead paint: buff, lemon yellow and
medium green.
A.—To produce a pleasing buff add
1 pt. raw italian sienna plus 14 pt.
burnt turkey umber to paint mixed
from 100 lb. paste white lead.
Lemon yellow is produced by add-
ing Vi pt. C. P. lemon chrome yellow
to paint mixed from 100 lb. paste
"White lead.
If varying quantities of paint are
mixed, adjust formulas in proportion.
Whether following a formula or
matching a particular shade, mix in
only small quantities of the colors-in-
oil at a time to avoid “overdosing,”
which results in wrong color and
waste.
The darker colors such as medium
green are not prepared from white
lead paint. The colors-in-oil are re-
duced to painting consistency by the
addition of raw linseed oil and out-
side spar varnish. However, apply
the regular white lead undercoats
tinted to a medium shade of the fin-
ishing color.
1 Suggested volume formula for me-
dium green: 2 parts C. P. chrome
green medium, 3 parts raw linseeJ
oil. 5 parts spar varnish. One gal. of
color will yield 3Vi gal. of paint to
which add 1 pt. of drier.
Home Demonstration Club works

Clubs with an enrollment of 227 wo-
men, in Hockley County carried the
grain phase of the home food supply
demonstration with special emphasis
on Breads and the Bedroom Improve-
ment phase of the Home Improve-
