LETTER TO JOSEPH REYNOLDS
Smyrna Del.


Dear Sir. If we sell Devoe to paint
your town, your road won't have so
much freight to handle.
1t takes 10 gallons to paint fair-size
house, and that house won't want
painting again for or 10 wears.
That's true in a way; but people, you
know, rather like fresh paint, and
they paint for nothing but looks some
times.
That house would take - or 13 gal
Ions of almost any other paint than
Devoe, and would have to be painted
again in half that time. Ten years is
very long time for a paint to wear
and five isn't short.
Which makes the most freight. a Il
or 20-gallon paint? 5 or 10 year paint;
But the 10-gallon paint is the 10-year
paint; and the 20-gallon paint is the
5-year paint. Which makes the mos
freight?
Ask your paint-dealer which he'd
rather sell, and which he could sell
most of. Ask your painter which he'd
rather paint; whether good or bad
paint is good for his business; which
is good paint, the 10 or 15-gallon paint
which pays most freight, and which
pays most wages. Which will yor
buy yourself, the 10-gallon 1O-year, OF
20 gallon 5-year, paint?
Yours truly

 Sunlight is natures most health Gfv- ing scavenger. A house without sun light is unhealthy and unsafe for hu- man occupancy. and it is necessary not only to have some sunlight. but to have as much of 1t as possible. It is, Of course, not feasible to admit the direct rays of the sun to every room of d house. The typical plan of all houses is square or rectangular, and at least one side of the house Is entirely beyond the reach of the sun. The other three sides, however. can receive more or less direct sunlight. and the problem of the plan is thus reduced to arranE- ing in various rooms so that the amount of sunlight is adjusted to their uses, and it must be sunlight. for mere light itself Is not sufficient; the rays of the sun have curative and cleansing prop- critics that nothing else has.
 It is generally admitted that south ern exposure is the best for all houses and should be obtained whenever pos sibIe. It is immaterial whether the entrance be placed on this side or not. so long as the rooms most in use open onto if.

 In this country telegraph engineers are in many places encountering serl- ous difficulties in the operation of their circuits by the encroachments of elec- tric traction systems As the employ ment of high potential alternating cur rent for electric traction purposes ex- bands, as 1t is doing very rapidly all parts of the United States, 1t is obvious that telegraph en- Einccrs will have to face numerous problems from harmful induction and effects from this cause. It is. in fact, not easy to foreten what the ultimate effect of these high po- tentiaI alternating current circuits up on the telegraph service will be.
