AN INTERESTING PAINT TEsT

There is a very simple and interest
ing chemical test by which to detect
impurity in paint materials Thou
sands and thousands of people, all over
the country, are making this test. 1t
is a sure way to safeguard against
the many adulterated white leads
which are on the market Amy one
can make the test-all that is needed
is a simple little instrument which
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building,
New York, and asking fer House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit includes also set Of color
schemes for exterior or interior paint
ing, or both, if you wish, and a book
of specifications. No houseOwner
should make any arrangements for
painting till he gets this outfit.
One can't expect satisfactory paint
ing job without pure white lead. There
is way to make sure you're getting a
pure white lead-without testing it. See
that the key bears National Lead Com
pany's famous Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark, which is positive guarantee OF
purity. Your dealer probably has
this white lead. If not let National
Lead Company know.

New York and possibly Delaware

money deposited with them. The
other states have spent the money. I
am told that the state of New York
loans out the $4,OOOOOO which it OBJ

money, New York should repay that
amount. 1t is necessary for Congress

vIRGINUS STORY AGAIN
RECALLED
SALE OF LAND IN CUBA RE-
WIVES OLD TALE-NAVAL
STATION ULANNED.
WASHINGTON. ApriI 3.-An ei

WASHINGTON, April 5,-An ef-
fort to sell $4,000 worth OF land IN
the ocean and near Guantanamo Bay
for use in connection with the naval
station has been made by Nine. Xa'-
icr Roster Of Bordeaux, France.
This offer has recalled the stirring
incidents attending the seizure Of the
Virginius.
Nine Roster is the daughter OF Ro'
bert Mason, British vice-consul at
Santiago de Cuba, at the time of the
seizure Of the Virginius and it was he
who interceded in behalf Of both
British and American citizens, saving
the lives OF many OF them during the
exciting times in 1873. The land now
oferded was the property Of Vice
Consul Mason, who died several years
ago and left it to his daughter.
As the government now owns BE-
tween 10000 and $4,000 acres Of land
at the Guantanamo Naval station it IS
doubtful whether any negotiations to
acquire more acreage will be under
taken. During the last session Cf
Congress great hostility was shown
toward the development Of the naval
station at Guantanamo, it being claim
ed by Southern Senator'S that such
development would divert work from
the Charleston S. c. and the New
Orleans navy yards.
