Dear Sir: North Dakota has a pure
paint law and is branding the paint-
manufacturers. Here’s how one of ’em
gets the tiot iron.
Almost Half of his “oil” is benzine
and water; more than half of his “pig
ment" is whiting barytes and suolt.
Benzine and water dry-out in a few
minutes and hours; they don’t do any
harm. Those “pigment" don't dry-out;
and perhaps they don’t do much harm.
is that what paint l« for: not to do
much harm? Do yon pay 95 a gallon
for paint and putting it on, not to do j
much harm? I
The lead zinc and oil in that “paint”
is a little less than half and tho trash
is a little more than half.
ilow many gallons, half trasli |and
j half paint, will it take to paint a 1GV
) gallon job two coats? how many coats, j
j half trash and half paint, will it take
1 to cover? and what’ll baoomo of tlio.se'

Hint the question is never raised con-

college such as the Georgia School of

The diunor was served at the engine

present. There was an abundance of
everything and quantities left over,
