Such neglect produce* gloomy sur roundings. Not so very many years ago, the frame barn was apt to go unpainted. snmo careful farmers in different sections, however, were famous for their big red harns. Thc-v chose that particular color because of economy and permanency. Nowadays many farmers realize that a mass of red is a most mnarmonious color against a background of green fields and blue sky, and greater variety of color is seen. All things considered, white or cream is the very best possible body color fur a bam: it lasts splendidly, and looks well amid any surrounding*.

White is one of the very hot possible color* for such a settmg, though some seem to forget it A light tone of buff with brown trimmings is sometimes u.-ed very successfully, while preen or silver-gruv stain makes a good roof tint. It is well to avoid any dark colors for the body of the garage, as in many c.^es such paints will be complete failures from the artistic - andpoint. Of course if the house is built of brown shingle, the garage had best be built that way, too. but both should be brightened with plenty of white c-n doors and facings. Small stable* should match the house but when this is nut jx>ible on account of difference* in building materim, two tones of brown or dull green make an excellent combination.

Similar use of storage but teries is essential to the suero-s of the starter of the nioi :t`i n auluinubilc. Lead is a source of sup ply for lead a2ice. This material is u>ed in the manufacture of detonators. A common use of lead has been as a cor? in the bulletsm the rifle ammunition. The lead gives weight to the bullet, and permits accurate marksmanship. Lead bullets are also used in the shrap nel shells. The brass shrapnel shell is made of zinc and copper. For buildings the architects design the structure, and the zinc and lead producer fills a large share of the requirements-- tin* galvanized .sheeting for the roof, galvanized cornice and other exterior and interior dec orations, and lead for plumbing. In the operating room in. the hospitals, as well as throughout the institution, large quantities of zinc in various forms are consumed for disinfecting and de odorizing and as a caustic. The soldier in the trenches is gassed and wounded by zinc and lead products, and is treated in the hospital with zinc m other forms. The fanner uses the galvanized iron wire to inclose his land to prevent loss by straying of hogs and other live stock. Galvanized barbed wire is also used exten sively by troops of the Allied Nations, as entanglements between the trenches in No Man's Land" as an ob struction tu prevent active operations and raids by enemy troops, Galvanized wire will withstand ef fectively the action of the weather and will not ru-t or corrode for a long period.

S. Govern ment and the intelligent energy of the white miner. Benjamin Quapaw is receiving S2U.000 per month as royalty from ore mined under his allotment of 200 acres. Emma Gordon, who owned a similar allot ment, married a "mucker," Hiram McBee, a Scot, who had been " fired " from a rqine working on that particular allotment. When he married the bronze landlady he did not revenge himself on the mining company; on the contrary, he conceded a full exten sion of the lease. He is dubbed " a real gent from Oklahoma." His income is $25,000 per month, the tribute on a 20rc royalty. The half-breed to whom Mr. Moore paid $6000 royalty per month bought farm mortgages in Kansas and two automobiles. These Indians are great motorists, in the sense of owning cars. The story is told that Jim Good Eagle bought a six-cylinder car at Joplin. A few days later another Indian went to the same agent and a.-ked: "Jim Good Eagle, he buy car how many cylinders' " The agent said, "Six." To which the Indian replied. "Jim Good Eagie him no good, got no money; I Iaiv nine-< vlinder car."

If the restrictions now on the statute books of many states are strictlv enforced interstate motor transportation would be 1mpossible. For example: Many states limit the period during which motor vehicles owned in another state can operate within their boundaries without taking out a state license. Such petty restrictions might easily make the operation uf a long-distance motor transport line on a large scale an economic impossibilitv. Innumerable technical regulations in the towns traversed on such a route would constitute further serious impediments to progress. It is evident that to make interstate motor transportation feasible either the states must harmonize their laws, or the Govern ment must step in and promulgate regulations to be applied uniformly in 11 states. The ' problem is a difficult one, as the upkeep of the roads must be provided for, and motor transportation companies cannot expect the country to provide trackage for them wholly free of cost.--Scientific American i J \ > j 1 f : ' i , , ' : .

The wonderful tone of an old 41 Strad " is generally believed to be due to the care of its maker in varnishing, which pre served the elasticity of the wood and increased the . vibrational quality. * This secret of the old master is not unknown to modern piano makers. They, too, use infinite pains in the selection and application of the finish ing materials. Fine tone quality and distinctive appearance are the characteristic results. Almost without exception, the pianos that the world acknowledges to be best, are finished with Bridgeport Standard Wood Finishes. Foremost furniture makers and architects of the most luxu rious hotels have, as well, found these Finishes best adapted for the perfection of the woods which must in some way be filled, stained and varnished to secure the desired decorative effect. Bridgeport Fillers, Stains, Waxes and Varnishes are-especially adapted for fine results on doors, floors and woodwork of private homes. Specify them when building or re-finishing.
