‘water will put the blocks in con-

ii the proper methods are pursued experts point out. The blocks should be allowed to season for several months. Where this il im- possible, a solution of two pounds or zinc sulphate to one gallon of

dition to be painted. Apply only, of course, when blocks are thor- oughly dry.

Three coats of paint are consid- ered nccessary. The priming cost, to bring best results, should con- list of thre parts by volume soft paste white lead, fivs parts half and half mixture of raw linseed oil

The body and finish coats should be made of three parts soft paste white lead and tour parts load mixing or lead reducing oil.

While the poccss of making the blocks ready can be speeded up by tho use of the zinc sulphate solu- tion, it is suggested that, where possible, natural weathering be re- licd upon. Alkaline substances al- wary are present in cement at first and are eliminated or new,

traiized by contact with the car- bon dioxide in the air. After the blocks have been well seasoned: paint will give complete satisfac- tion. J

Sun Parlor Included. In Many Residences

A sun room oruun parlor is a common feature in even the most inexpensive homes. 1t may consist of s. porch enclosed in glass, or it may be a special room having an abundance of windows. When the windows are flung wide open this room in reality becomes a porch. The exposure should be toward the south so as to obtain an abundance o! sunlight in the winter mtmths. Sun rooms are usually fitted with special furniture and decorated with plants. Individuality of the builder can be cleverly displayed in developing plans for such l. room. o
