CAR PRESSURE REACHES DANGER
Bv Assoclated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Oct SO.-After more
than week of work with the pres
idents and traffic officers of the trunk
lines the special committee of the grain
trade induced the railroads to agree
to raise the grain blockade that has
recently tied up export business SO
completely.
The relief has come none too soon,
as the pressure upon some grain firms
to deliver on specific contracts was
believed to be reaching the danger
point in a number of instances.
The committees compilation of the
New York grain trades immediate re-
quirements shows contracts requiring
immediate delivery of 2,750,000 bushels
of grain. OF the 2,750,O0O bushels thus
requiring immediate shipment the New
York Central, the Lackawanna and the
Lehigh Valley agree to handle 100000
bushels promptly between them.
This leaves 100000 bushels to be car
ried by other routes.

His first sentence to Joliet was un-
der the assumed name of Charles New
man, in 1892, when he was declared
guilty of stealing 5000 worth of clothing
from a house and $3.50 worth of jeweliy
frmo an Office in the Auditorium at Chi
cago.
Kicker was arrested here last Sur
day by Detectives Boyd and Steele.
He was found with some skeleton keys
in his possession, and it was suspected
that he was about to begin campaign
of pass-key work. IL he is not the man
who is responsible for the numerous
offenses of that order already commit
ted in Los Angeles.
Kicker claimed that he has been llv-
ing an honest life, however, and says
that the keys in bis possession were
to be sent to friend at San Fran
cisco.
After the Los Angeles courts are
through with Kicker 1t is probable that
the Chicago authorities will wait for

GAS USED UNDER LIME KiLNs.
Innovation by Connecticut Company
is Success.

The New England Lime company,
of Winstead. Conn, asserts that 1t Is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning. The method is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow
ing scarcity of wood fuel led to the
discovery of gas as substitute for
wood, and the company no longer con
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability of gas
have been demonstrated beyond a
doubt Had it been impossible to find
a substitute for wood. said n member
of the company, 1t would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment of the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clinkers and no cinders-and the
lime produced Is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro
duces a more intense heat, and conse-
quently increases the capacity of the
kilns. The daily output at the com
pany's kilns is increased from so bar.
rels per kiln to 100 barrels, or a total
of 700 barrels daily.

Good CoIors for Houses.

It is not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints and
coors wear much better than Others on
houses, and the knowledge of just what
tints are best to use is, therefore, rather
hazy.
One writer on paints, in recent book,
says that experiments seem to show that
those coors which resist or turn back
the heat rays of the sun, will protect
house better than those which allow these
rays to pass through the film.
Thus red is good color because it
turns back, or reflects the red rays, and
the red rays are the hot rays.
In general. therefore, the warm tones
are good and the cold tones are poor, so
far as wear is concerned. In choosing
the color of paint for your house, select
reds, browns, grays and olives, which,
considering the various tones these tints
will produce, will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows Cike lemon), cold greens (like
grass green. etc.). and the blues.
1t must be understood that no virtue
is claimed for tints in themselves. ire
spective of the materials used in the
paint. Any color will fade, and the paint
will scale off,. if adulterated white lead
or canned paint is used, but if one is
careful to use the best white lead-some
well-known brand of n reliable manufac
turer-and genuine linseed oil. the warm
tints mentioned above will outwear the
same material tinted with the cold colors.
