We may not brew herbs and roots to make dyes as in Revolutionary times but this pair of flamingo red chairs in a modern setting shows that we understand un-derstand the importance of the warming glow of color. The tan of the couch covering . makes the cording for the chair covers and the red of the chairs makes the cording and cushions for the couch. When the soldier talks about "the skipper" he means his captain, cap-tain, the head of his company. And that's just what the title "captain" "cap-tain" means. It comes from the Latin word "caput" meaning "head." Another leader high in Army men's favor since '18 is Camel Cigarettes. (Based on actual ac-tual sales records from Post Exchanges Ex-changes and Sales Commissaries.) It's the gift they prefer from the home folks. If you have a relative rela-tive or friend in the service, send i him a carton of Camels. Your dealer is featuring Camel cartons to send to service men.

Spray painting is often the quickest and most efficient way of doing the job, but the task of removing paint from windows or making masks to protect the glass often makes one decide to use the slower brush instead. These disadvantages can readily be eliminated by using the following glycerine containing glass masking coating. Kaolin 2.0 parts Glycerine 1.5 parts Water 4.5 parts Butyle Alcohol . . . 0.25 parts Mix the above ingredients thoroughly, apply to the glass with a brush and allow to dry. After painting with a spray gun and allowing the paint to dry, the mask may be removed with a putty knife or by washing with water, leaving the glass free from any paint. This masking mixture can also be used to protect metal and similar surfaces during spray or brush painting. |
