PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should,
of course. be durability-and durar
bflity means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years agothe paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead If he was nc familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety If he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
1t is guarantee as valuable to the
HORSEPOWER as the education of a
paint expert could be.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 285O-mile public
test and the advantages gained
/ through It's use were we'll described
In the following dispatch which the
correspondent Of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion OF
the tour:
"A feature Of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene. or coal Oil, as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey. and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
1t was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew Of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish Of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mttted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place. without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely

Of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal OIL, instead OF
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use OF the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types OF cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success and. therefore, the
makers OF the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland. Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton OF the new fuel In the 1909 Gid

Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, ii such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at ell times
while on the road under the superyi-
sion OF observers, named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
therefore, 1t would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
nave even frightened q bolt without
