fed with the work being done By the
contractor
Q. Were you told TO search for de-
fects? A. was to find defects and
such other data as might come to my
attention
Mr. Van Doren quoted from Mr.. OPP
dycke's previous testimony as to curbs
and cutters being out Of line. and asked
the witness whether he did not know
that curbs and cutters out OF place
were always reset.
II know 1t is not So" declared MIR,
Opdycke,
Q. VIII you swear 1t was not so?
A. | will swear that where the work
Is done properly according to contract
! they do not have to reset.
| Mr.. Van Doren read from the testi'
mony taken before the Commissioner OF
Accounts. The preliminary estimate
Mr.. Opdycks had then said, amounted
to sl7l,uc, OF which amount $4,000 haG
been paid, although the contract re

ANOTHER DEADLOCK
ON WITH VENEZUELA
Our Special Envoy Buchanan
Fails to Settle Asphalt
Row.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan, o., via
Port OF Spain, Trinidad, Jan. 2s-The ne
gotiatlons between W. I. Buchanan the
special envoy OF the United States, and
the Venezuelan Government looking to a
settlement OF the outstanding difficulties
between the Two countries came yester-
day to a complete deadlock on certain
protocol
1t is believed here that the negotia-
tons will be completely discontinued
unless the United States modIAes It's
York and Bermudez Asphalt Company
and the Orinoco Corporation he sub
mltted 10 arbitration.
This contention President Gomez con-
siders unjust because Mr.. Buchanan
will not agree to submit to arbitration,
as preliminary points, the questions OF
the validity Of the judgments Of the
Venezuelan courts, the awards OF the
MlNttI NlllNllLNS.Nllat VI lIlt NNUlpIlNllN
Of the New York and Berrnudez As
phllt Company in the Matos revolution.
President Gomez is truly DESTROYS of
reaching n settlement with the United
States, but at the same time he feels
that he must protect the honor and dig
nifty Of Venezuela. These considera-
tons have influenced the attitude OF
the Venezuelan Government.
In the matter Of the claim Of the
Orinoco Corporation, Mr.. Buchanan has
refused to accept a proposal to sub
NIT to arbitration, as previous point,
the question Of the validity OF the judg.
ment OF the Mixed Commission. and
whether or not there was denial of
justice by the Venezuelan courts In this
case.
In the matter OF the claim of the
New York and BermudeZ Asphalt Com
cept the y oposa! to submit to arbltra-
ton, as previous point. the question
whether or not the company has lost
its right TO the protection OF the United
States, and whether or not Commits
sioner Barge exceeds his powers in the
award OF the Mixed Commission.
a. +. Jaurett, another OF The
claimants, is to receive reduced
amount without arbitration. All the
claimants are TO have the chance OF
reaching a settlement with the govern
ment before arbitration is undertaken.

DID you ever look up the meaning
- of the words price" and "Cost"?
We venture you'd be interested, even
surprised.
"Price" originally meant not money, not CASH
but Reward, Praise, Worth. In the days of
Caesar they called it "Pretium."
"Cost" comes from the old Icelander word
''Koster," signifying to Choose, to Test, to
Prove.
So "Price" is really the Worth of the thing sold.
"Cost'' means how we'll the thing bought proves
up in actual use.
So we're not SO far off the track today for when you
buy paint, the Price of it should be the of its
usefulness, in appearance and wear Its Cost to you
will be how we'll it stands the test you put it to- it
does well, it's cheap; if not, you paid too much.
Measured by this, poor paint costs far, far than
good paint never worth the price asked and never
stands the test of wear.
There's one house paint made that's worth the price
and stands the test, and that's HORSE SHOE
BRAND HOUSE PAINT, best lead, zinc, aged
linseed oil, japan, cooring matter and nothing else
honest materials, honestly prepared, sold on honor
Seven gallons of HORSE SHOE PAINT covers as
much surface as ten gallons of ordinary paint and
