The striking appropriateness ot the Modern Crusade idea, as designed and adopted for the National Clean Up and Paint Up, is shown in an abstract of the Results' of the Crusades, from the article in the Encyclopedia Bri tannlca by Ernst Baker, of St. John's College, Oxford, as follows: "The Crusades provided a field in which the layman could prove that he, too, was a priest. As chivalry 'directed the layman to defend the right, so the Crusades directed him to attack the wrrng. The Crusades were chivalry on the offensive.

When the old tenant moves out in the morning, the wa Is may be spray coated with a fresh coat of waterproof flat wall color in the afternoon. The following morning the paint is perfacdy dry, so that the new tenant can move in and be assured of perfectly sanitary surroundings. Modern practice in many transient hotels is to freshen the wall surfaces every year with a coat of waterproof flat wall color. This is done mainly to show the guests that the hotel believes in maintaining sanitary conditions, and partly to lend interest to the surroundings by an occasional change in color schemes. duujio as cleaning up undesirable conditions me various nelgnbornoods, such as getting rid of slot machines, punch boards, nool ronm anri Grand Electric Home Ironer The highly nickel plated ironing shoe does not require waxing and causes the design of linens to stand out more pronounced.

BlUs for illumination have been greatly reduced in many instances. It is estimated that the amount of savable current that might be traced to the use of such paints would represent a sum greater than the entire cost of the paint and its application.

The sanitary value of the paint, the beauty and freshness it has added to surfaces, and the cheerfulness it has provided, have then come without cost.
