WHY, RED LEAD IS SUPERIOR Its Fineness Makes It, One cf the 8ur -'" est Preventives of Corrosion 7V' Vi That Is Known. . The averse thickness of a costing of paint for Iron and steel mov-be one two-huDdrvlrh of an Inch., states an authority on the subject.' In many parts, however, the coating may easily reach a thinness of one vu-hundredth of an Inch.- If, therefore., a pr.lnt contains par ticles whose smallt4 dimension ,1s one four-hundredth of sn Inch, It Is obvi ous tbst the particles will stsnd oat In a paint coating where the thickness of the pnlnt coating Is only one six hundredth of an Inch. Many particles of pigment classed as coarse or sandy lead are . considerably larger In size thnn the size Indicated by one four- hundredth of Sn inch diameter, and these will project still farther through the paint film. Such coarse particles become, therefore, the weak point 1ft the film, snd corrosion may start around such particles. The paint film Itself Is weak at sncb points, as the coarse- particles may not be completely encased In the oil of the Dim. For these reasons, concludes the authority, the superiority of a high ly oxidized red lesd Is really due to Its fineness. It is a better pigment Its superiority, however, lies not only In the more continuous paint film It produces but In Its producing a better working paint a paint that flows out well but win not run, sag or weep.

June 23. as Re cruiting Week for the. regular army. Immediately upon the issuance of the i President's proclamation Secretary ci War, Newton D. Baker, appealed to the newspapers of the country to help In this work.' His message to the newspapers reads ' . "President Wilson has by procla mation fixed the week beginning to day as Recruiting Week for . the regular Army. . The Army needs and expects to obtain during the week seventy thousand men to fill every regiment to war strength. The men cannot be obtained, however, without the hearty co-operation ot the Ameri can press. I am relying confidently upon the patriotism of the press in this 'emergency ana know that the newspapers will co-operate fully with the recruiting service . through the week to . make Recruiting Week a- nother splendid demonstration of the spirit of the country." it Is nseless to state that the news papers ; of -the country will respond readily to this appeal. As In every worthy undertaking In . which the masses of the people are to be resolv ed the press has long ago demon strated, that It Is an indispensable medium. To the government tne American press has donated Its space, which is worth money, liber ally and gladly and without hope of reward, thereby doing its part In the struggle for democracy. Gaston county's quota of the 70, 000 men wanted this week is an nounced as 25 men, and this number will doubtless be reached by tne close of the week. Romans Found 'a Means of Stopping the Hitherto Deadly Persian War Chariots. Apropos of the armored automobile of the British, the Figaro of Paris re marks that the 8rst model of this kind of war automobile Is found Illustrated in the bas-reliefs of Khorsala and Nineveh; armed chariots used by the Creeks and the Trojans In the days of Agamemnon, and which were Intro duced by Cyrus In the armies of the Persians. Having at hand no gaso line, Cyrus had his charlotrpr his cars drawn by horses. Sjila at the battle of Cberonea found means of defense against those armed -chariots which for centuries had spread terror on bat tlefields. He armed bis soldiers of the second line with poles divided Into four sharpened points. These poles were planted on the ground on the advsnce of the armored chariots launched In atr assault by- Archilaus, Mlthrldates' commander. The first ilne of the Ro mans retired In the rear of this bar rier against which the armed chariots in their Impetuous assault were broken to pieces. t Suddenly the light forces of Sylla hurled themselves forward; they surrounded the armed chariots, cov ering them with a cloud of arrows and a shower of stones. Few of these chariots could escape, amidst the cries of mockery of the Roman soldiers. St w Photo by American Press Association, ratios best. der age. a couple of pounds under weight, maybe.

Before the cold weather set In a cer tain South , side matron had so much trouble with flies In her kitchen that she decided to make a supreme effort to rid herself of the pests. After carefully fastening the screen doors she placed saucers containing fly poison on' the table and on top of the refrigerator and went Into another room to await developments. Soon afterward the matron heard her little daughter in the kitchen. Inves tigation showed the youngster at the kitchen door, carefully holding the screen wide open. "What in the world are you doing?" cried the housewife. Vby, mamma, the youngster re plied, MI am holding the screen door open so the flies, can come in and get the poison. THREE CHOICES FOR ' SERVICE ON LAND By CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER. If a budding war hero chooses the naval service the first thing is to snrnex bis activities to some floating thlng whether on creek, pond, canal or ocean that is. after learning to swim. .

Alany years ago my aunt taught a country school. One cold, snowy morn ing only one pupil, a little boy, showed up at the schoolhouse after a walk of two miles from his home. My aunt de cided to reward the boy for coming on such a stormy day when all his mates remained at home, so she told him he might sit down and read a story book for a while. He did so; but alone as be was, the minutes seemed like hours, snd he became tired. Soon my aunt heard a tiny voice say earnestly, as if she bad forgotten the time, "Ain't It moat time to go homef Chicago Trib une. TODIVRAWLINGS WEDDtXG SATURDAY. NIGHT.

't T m f 1L - -T III! ia irsuiiog uiv nar tieveuuo dux the members of the Finance Commit tee have proceeded on . the theory that the newspapers should - be re quired to pay their share of the super taxes imposed on industries. When bashers have protested - against largely Increased postal rates . for second-class mall, and again! against the tax on advertising revenues, tne criticism' has been made mat this industry claims total exemption from fax burdens, and that the aim has been to shift those burdens to other businesses. It has not occurred to their critics that the newspapers of the country are. voluntarily carrying greater bur dens or expense, . in the direct ser vice of the country,. than even tne highest super-taxes proposed for other Industries would amount to. Merely a casual analysis of the contents of any Issue of a newspaper will make this fact plain. The news and editorial columns are largely given over to the publication of mat ter which is of vital importance to the nation at war. Without the dally and hourly co-operation of the press the government would be sadly hand lcapped rendered, indeed, almost helpless In Its efforts to secure unity of purpose and sentiment and effort In its conduct of the war. The newspapers assume the ex pense of keeping the people Informed about the purposes of the . govern ment, about the events or the war which hearten and strengthen tne people for united effort In the na uon s cause. They serve the com mon good more effectively than any other agency, and they do this with out expense to the government of ten, as In the present crisis, at the sacrifice of all prospects for profits on their Invested capital. Without the steadying influence of the newspapers of the country, hold ing up to the patriot and the slacker alike the Ideal of a citizenship based on a common bbTlgatlon of service, registration day, for the selective draft, would have been marked by riots which would have shamed the nation. And, without the service of the newspapers, in making plain to the people the exact conditions of the registration, the plan Itself would have been bungled hopelessly, with an eventual cost to the government not easily computed. These instances of the service of the newspapers are merely typical of the dally routine. Yet, In spite of the fact that they are voluntarily giv ing to1 the government greater mate rial support than any other Industry, the newspapers will not rebel against special super-taxes if these be Just ly levied, and not of a nature to crip ple and hamper the publication of newspapers. . .

Success. The following beautiful extract is' taken from the -simple and elo quent tribute which Editor W. O. Saunders paid to the memory of his father in his paper, The Independent, of Elizabeth City: "I count any man a success who puts Into the wonjd more than he takes out of it. Measured by this standard, my father, who died' last week, was one of the greatest suc cesses I hsve ever known. Dad got less out of this life and sacrificed more tnan any man I have ever known. His whole life was a sacri fice. He sacrificed his boyhood and his youth in a desperate struggle to support his widowed mother on a small farm. His whole life .from childhood to the grave was a succes sion of saorifices. I have never known the time when he wasn't sup porting one or more families besides his own and I have never known the time when he was more than able to provide for his own family. We of ten scolded him when he gave his last dollar to help some other un fortunate mortal and his own feet were on the ground. But he never explained, never apologized. He could not live for himself alone. He was possessed of the divine impulse to visit the sick and imprisoned, to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and comfort the fatherless and do good in the name of Him whom he loved. He loved his family, his God. his country and his fellow man. If he had any hate in his heart It was for the liar, the hypocrite and the enemy or man and democracy. When the greatest of all earthly adventures death was before him be was not afraid. He said he had but one regret, that he could not live to do more for his -children. 'I be lieve I could leave things In a little better shape if I had a few more years That man is indeed a success and : fortunate who can merit and receive such a tribute as this when bis task is done.
