Dear Sir: Lead and is not good
paint; don't wear; the rule is, as
everyone knows. repaint in three
years.
Devoe lasts six, in the same way
allow wide margin in all such state
ments. What does it mean, to last?
1t means the same with both.
AS to covering that's another.
Here's an instance.
Mr.. j. j. Hall, Sheffield. Pa, paint
ed two houses, lead d-and-oi took 40
gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons De-
voc for the same two houses; returned
10 gallons.
The paint, that covers, lasts; it's
all paint, true paint, and full-meas-
ure. Lead.and-oil is all paint but not
good paint the lead wants zinc.
Better paint Devoe.

POLICE ALSO ASH A RAISE
Petition Council to Put Them OnSSame PsJ
Proposed for Firemen.
BOTH LIKELY TO MEET THE SANE FATE
In Case Prospective War
rants it the Increase IL Likely
to BE Granted, other
wise Not,

Following the example set by the mem
beFs Of the FIRE department the men At the
police force are now in the field with a
petition that their salaries be increased.
They have the support Of Alderman John
Olson, chairman OF the committee on po-
lice and health, who has stated that when
the city cou1cil makes its appropriations
for the ensuing year next month. he will
ask that the policemen be given the same
salaries as the men Of the fire DEPART
ment.
The chief Of police now receives 800
a month. exclusive of his fees as city
marshal derived from the superior court,
and 1t is not intended that the city will
be asked to give him any Increase. With
the exception of the night captain, who
receives $50 a month. the menbers Of the
police force, including the detectives and
desk s%ergeants, receive $50 a month. AL
derman Olson will ask that the night cap
tain be paid $40 a month, and the other
members of the force $50 a month.
The present police force consists of eight
patrolmen, one patrol driver, two desk
| sergeants, two detectives, one deputy city
marshal and one chief. The increase asked
for in their salaries would amount to $I5
a month. or 5000 per annum.
The aldermen who favor the increase OF
the salaries Of the men OF the fire depart,
ment also favor granting the same in
crease to the members OF the police force,
and II is understood that IL one is raised
the other Will be. Everything will de-
pend, however, it is said. oil the prospect

PIECE WORK IS SUGGESTED
Operators Ask Commission to Give Advance

COUNSEL BLAME MITCHELL FOR VIOLENCE
Say He Cannot Control Union and
Therefore Union should Not He.
Made Party to Wage
Agreements.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11.-Counsel for
the coal operators today continued to ar
raign the miners union in their arguments
before the strike commission. The indie
pendent operators Of the Lehigh, the Wy
oming and the Lacakawanna regions held
the attention Of the commissioners for the
greater part OF the day, the proceedings
concluding with the presentation of the
Reading company's argument by Simon p.
Wolverton, the company's chief counsel.
In nearly every case the attorneys
charged President Mitchell with RESPONSE
billy for the alleged lawlessnoss during the
strike. Mr. Wolverton strongly urged the
incorporation Of the union and alleged that
1t was unfit to control the anthracite in
dustry because boys were numbered among
it's members.
Samuel Dickson defended the attitude OF
the Markle company, claiming the firm JUS
tined in its stand when the strike was de-
clared OF, because it had not been a party
to the appointment OF the commission.
Francis <. Gowen, for the Lehigh VAL
ley company, suggested that the commits
sion recommend the establishment Of a shift
| consisting OF a certain plumber Of cars to
| constitute a days workAthe men able to dc
the amount Of work required to receive an
advance In wages.

The 5-months- old baby of John Halle.

being dropped on a red hot stove Tuesday
night at the family home on Harrison

During the absence Of the mother and

8 years OF age. picked up. the baby from
It's cradle and commenced walking II
around the kitchen with the object OF put

the burden too great, let the baby drop
on the heated kitchen stove, with the re-
suit that the infants face and left side
we're terribly burned before the crieg OF
the children attracted one of the nelghbors
TO the house. The left side of the baby's
face is badly burned, and fears are enter
tanned that It may lose the sight of that
eye. The attending physician stated yes
terdsy that the babe might recover. but II
was doubtful II the sight OF the eye could

Where a trade union has been formed by
