LETTER TO REV. J. H. PATTON
Marietta, Ga.

MarleCtas Uas
Rev. Sir: We should like to ask your
advice on certain thing done: was it
right or wrong? We shall have to state
it, including the names.
u z Dreicorn is painter in Holyoke,
Mass. JohnJ. Donohue is an architect,
Springfield, nearby.
Donohue was building, at Holyoke,
the holy Family Institute, letting the
work by bids, as usual. Dreicorn got
the paint job the paint was to be lead
and oil.
But Dreicorn said to himself: lead
and-oil isn't half so good as Devoe and
it costs more money, what shall | dor"
He painted Devoe; and, after the
work was done, told Donohue, saying:
''if that isn't better than lead and oil
job, I'll make it So"
Was Dreicorn right or wrong in paint
| ing lead -and-oil Job Devoe?
You ask how it turned-out? This was
six years ago. Now Donohue has an
| other job there, u big addition to the
| Catholic Hospital; and he doesn't ask
| bids for the painting, but says to Drei-
| corn: go ahead Dreicorn and give me
as good a job as you did { n the Insti-
tute. That's the best paint job ever
| saw"
The question is WAS Dreicorn right
in painting Devoe when he had agreed
to paint lead-and -oil?"
That isn't quite all Lead-and oil is
expected to last three years. If Drei-
corn had used lead -and-oil, there would
have been another job for him or some
body else three years ago.
Was he right in losing that job for
himself or somebody three years
ago?
The Institute took 200 gallons Devoe
and cost 81 600; the paint has worn six
years, when Donohue says tits the
best paint Job he ever saw" II he had
used lead-and-oil, it would have cost
about $2200 for the two paint jobs (six
and three years ago. anc be hungry fol
paint again.
Dreicorn lost 1920 Of business and
took the risk or making Donohue mad
and losing his business, forever: all tc
save the Holy Family Institute $12O(
besides the fuss of paint job.
. Was Dreicorn right or wrong as
painter; and which would you paint
Your church, lead and-oil or Devoe?
Yours truly

THEY WANT |. C. SERVICE
Committee of Workmen
Ask Extension of Branch
to South Deering.

South Chicago, Dec, 14.-(SpeciaD-
a committee of workmen employed at
South Deering met with officials of the
Illinois Central railroad yesterday and
petitioned them to install a branch Of
the line from the present South Chi
ca go terminus to South Deering. There
will probably be no difficulty in arrang-
ing for meeting at some time when
the matter will be taken under further
consideration by the officials. They
inttmated that they would be willing
70 install the extension If they could
be assured that a certain number Of
passengers would use. the line every
day
At the present time those who are
employed at South Deering and live
in Chicago find it difficult to get TO their
work They are forced to take the train
from Chicago and then take the street
car from there to their destination. This
has proven very unsatisfactory and
hundreds in that neighborhood are
anxiously awaiting the decision of the
company. Most OF those who are effect
ed are employed in the Wisconsin Iron
and Steel works.

horsethfef was discovered here last
night when Melvin Melcher, the local
butcher. upon returning to his home

his barn door to be unfastened Upon

order to make a new start. when they
heard the hoof beats of a rapidly run
ming horse coming from a distance.
The horse ran into the Melcher
yard. but showed great fear and would
not permit itself to be caught. Being
finally coaxed into the barn, it was
found that the horse was steaming wet
from a long and exhausting run. Marks
OF a saddle girth were still evident, as
were also welts from cruel whip.
1t was remembered that shortly be-
fere Mr.. MeIoher returned to his home

vehemently.

May Have Been Stolen
From Joseph Kraus.

Gary. Ind. Dec. 14-(Special) "A
diamond stick pin valued at $500 was
either lost or stolen yesterday after
noon, the loser being Joseph Kraus,
who was on his way from the office
OF W. S. Ross to the Michigan Central
depot after closing the deal with Ir.
Ross for the site of the Calumet brew
cry. which is TO be located in the third
addition to Gary.
Mr.. Kraus remembers having had the
pin after leaving the office. but before
he reached the railroad tracks he
missed 1t. Whether it was taken from
him or whether it simply dropped from
his clothes is a mystery to the owner.
He says that If it was taken from his
shirt front. it was done in an excep-
tionally smooth way. as he does not
remember having been jostled in q
crowd.
After his. loss became known Mr..
Kraus and strangers helped him for a
long time in searching for the pin. the
party going carefully over the route
which the loser took from the Office
OF Mr.. Ross to the tracks.

SNOW TIES UP TRAFFIC
South Chicago Public Utili-
ties in Crippled Condi-
tion This Morning.

South Chicago. Dec. 14.-(SpeciaL)-
South Chicago IS "snowbound" today
in the literal sense OF the word. as few
of the suburban trains or electric cars
are running. Even the reliable I'LL
nois Central trains have been put out
Of commission and instead of running
seven trains out TO South Chicago up
till 9:30 this morning, only one got
through All Of the through trains are
badly behind their schedule as well as
those OF the suburban. The street car
service is almost out of commission.
The gigantic sweeper was stuck at
Seventy eighth street and it was some
time before they We're able to get cars
past It.
IN other sections of the city many
cars have been derailed owing 10 the
deep snow and slippery rails. At
Ninety third street and South Chicago
avenue there are three of the yellow
line cars off the track and there seems
to be little promise that they can get
back on for some time. Their service
is badly crippled in other places along
the line.
A narrow escape is related by pas
sengers on a red line car at the Lake
Shore crossing. One of the cars
jumped the track at this point and was
not able TO get back on the track be-
fore passenger train coming from the
west came upon 1t. The train was
Jagged several hundred feet up the
track. but owing to the slippery con-
dition of the rails the wheels slipped
along the tracks until 1t reached the
crossing. The engine struck the car a
gentle jolt, that caused no damage. In
a short time the car was moved for
ward enough so that the train could
pass.
John Galligan. superintendent of the
street cleaning department, is out with
his white winged" brigade getting the
snow off Of the street in the best pos
sibIe shape There was a fall Of about
ten inches and the street cleaners have
found that 1t is difficult task to make
headway against the constant down
fall. The stret car company is again
assisting them by allowing the use OF
cars to carry away the snow.
