Durlnz; every ten hours, the plant is in operation 100,000 pounds of metallic lead is melted, tassing from the bottom of the furnace nto a very hot, steam filled tank, where It becomes a soft blue substance, as thin as thin mud, and In this state very sus ceptible to chemical change. From there It goes' to large metallic duplex cylinders where it is kept continually agitated with Weter In the presence of air which is forced through tile cylinders at low pres sure. The product is then an orange or ochre color. This part of the operation is complete In less than two days.

The subject of hiding power is at best a controversial one, and has been mads so not only because of the difficulty of accurate measurement, but also because of the dis agreement among Investigator* as to the scientific fundamentals involved. The result has bean that tits "Trade" in general has not had much confidence In any published figures, fsw as thsy are- Ths New Jersey Zinc Co. la frequently asked for the hiding power of their pigments and has hesitated to assign a value to them. The result has been that since some published figure* show tUanlum-eelcium a much better dollar value at hiding than lithopone, and since we have bean unwilling to confuse the issue by giving set of our own, we endeavored to determine if a definite figure could be assigned/--providing commer cial fiat wall paints only wore considered. Tou may will ask yourselves, "why is it difficult to assign a vales to a pigment that wilt represent its hiding power?" The answer is that no one value can be assigned that will be even close to accurate unless wa know the particular formula, because /roes formula to formula tho seme pipmont vartoo over wide Umito.

It is impossible to assign to any pig ment1 an absolute hiding power value having much meaning, since It is easily possible to vary tha hiding powes value of a single pig ment as muck at 100% simply by varying the paint composition In which it Is used.
