A-r-A tablespoon of citronella added to each gallon of paint should effectively keep the bugs and insects away from the wet paint. What causes dark streaks of dirt to appear on walls and ceilings? In our house, the streaks seem to take the form of the spaces between the wall studs and ceiling joists.

A These are called "ghost marks" and appear most frequently in houses which are not insulated. The streaks are caused by warm, dust-laden air which tends to move to and through the colder surfaces betweerj the framing members. Mineral wool insulation puts a stop to "ghost marks" by making the temperature of walls and ceilings uniformly warm. Mineral wool also saves winter fuel and makes the house more comfortable in all seasons. The otter is one of the most playful of animals.
