MULTICOLOR PAINTS
Sirs:
The color Round Table report (Apr. H&H) was very well done. I wonder if I could receive about 125 reprints for our distributor sales force throughout the country?
As the world's largest manufacturer of multicolored paints, I was rather disappointed in finding no reference to them, since multicolor paint is one of the greatest technological contributions to paint chemistry.
Ordinary paints, producing monotones, have been known to create a subconscious restlessness in people confined to a "closed-in" area. Conversely, with multicolor paints, psychologists have agreed that the "broken surface" created produces a rather quiescent effect.
It now becomes possible to introduce accent colors in the wall finish itself that were hitherto limited only to room furnishings and which frequently created a patchwork effect.
Our multicolor paint also has less affinity for dust and dirt particles, grease and oil, so surfaces stay cleaner longer. B. F. Ames General sales manager Maas & Wdldenstein Co. Newark, N. J.
NAIL POPPING
Sirs:
In "New Tests Show Why Nails Pop" (Apr. H&H) Messrs. Suddarth and Angle-ton advocate dry lumber and the "shortest possible nail- as cures for nail popping.
The problem is not new and a practical solution is available to builders.
Our company has mass produced threaded nails specifically designed to eliminate nail popping for 25 years. For more than eight years our threaded nails have been used by the drywall industry, and in many thousands of houses, for the application of wallboard and underlay me nt.
Threaded nails have largely eliminated builders' headaches due to nail popping. We have the endorsement not only of the drywall industry, but such nails are also endorsed by the Gypsum Assn, In the case of drywall and underlayment fastenings, our nails have done a good deal more than meet laboratory condition-since they are used in houses in every part of the country and under every condition of moisture or change in climate.

SOLUTION
Sirs:
Your excellent article "Why Not Use Sewage Treatment Plants?" (Mar. H&H) shows home builders the solution to a growing problem of sewage disposal.
Our office has an activated sludge plant in the ready-for-bid stage. The plant will handle the load from a shopping center and a 300-home subdivision.
