The first thought painting should,
of course, be durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and llnseed 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.

1T WORKS
The Laborer Eats Food That Would
Wreck an Office Man,

Men who are actively engaged al
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck man who is more
closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
I was for IL years clerk in store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without much trouble until
after entered the telegraph service.

The most interesting announce
nent ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
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 we're 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
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public.
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all. the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City. was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion Of observers, named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty In
hlcted. At night the cars we're
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

4 DENIAL BY M'ADOO
That Hudson Tunnel Extension Violates
Agreement With the InterbOrOugh

William g. McAdoo, president Of the
Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Com
pany, in a statement issued yesterday
denying a published report that in eI-
tending the Hudson tunnel to the Grand
Central Station his company had broken
an agreement with the Intsrborough
company covering the territory to be de-
veloped by the two corporations, said:
we regret that any such belief pre-
walls in the minds OF any OF the INTERIOR
ough management, as no such agreement
exists: The proposed extension was con-
ceived in no unfriendly spirit TO any other
interest; We wish 10 build il. il We are
granted permission TO do 80, because il is
logical extension OF our line, designed
TO connect all steam railroad terminals
in New York and New Jersey, and because
we believe that such an extension will be
OF great convenience to the public am
confident that it will not harm any Of the
other local transportation lines, but that
u will, on the contrary, ultimately benefit
them greatly.
The extension to the Grand Central
Station does not interfere with any sub
way that may be built in Broadway cross
ing Thirty-fourth street and Sixth ave-
nue.. there being ample room at this point
for BOTH l make this statement TO set
at rest any doubts that may exist on this
point.
I'VE have no quarrel with anybody and
are devoting ourselves TO the Legitimate
and logical development Of our own
property.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
II Provides for Waterways Commission
and n Foot Channel In Upper Hudson.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. A national
waterways commission, 10 be composed
Of seven members OF the House and Ave
members Of the Senate, Is created In
the river and harbor bill, which was re-
ported TO the House to-day. The com
mission is instructed to make investi-
cations and report the needs Of naviga-
tlon 10 Congress. For surveys of various
river and harbor improvements and for
emergency purposes the bill carries an
approximate amount Of so.50O,OO0.
Several important provisions affecting
the waters OF the Great Lakes are in
cluded. One Of them requests the Presi-
dent TO enter into negotiations with Grea
Britain for the purpose Of eifectually
providing by suitable treaty arrange
ments 70 maintain ample water levels
for the uses Of navigation in the Great
Lakes and connecting waters. Another
contemplates the acquisition by the Gov
ernment of all private property in the
st. Marys River, Michigan, between
the present public works and the inter-
national boundary line.
Various surveys are authorized. among
them one with view to providing
a channel not less than two hundred feet
In width and twelve feet in depth on
the upper Hudson from deep water in
the lower river TO Waterford, including
lock and dam at Troy suitable in size
for all probable purposes Of navigation
and commerce 70 and from the state
Barge Canal.
Provision is given under the bill,
In accordance with regulations TO be
prescribed by the Secretary of War,
For navigation by night as well as dur
ing the day OF that section OF Ambrose
Channel which IL now being improved
under the provisions Of former river
and harbor acts.
Senator Hale created something OF
stir by an announcement made in the
Senate to-day that the river and harbor
bill would not become a law at this ses-
sion. This u interpreted TO mean that the

A KICK FROM TINES SQUARE,
y. \. Board Asked to Have the Number
OF Trolley Tracks Cut Down.

The Public Service Commission has
received a complaint signed by nearly
all the hotel owners. theatre proprietors
and managers and business men whose
places are either in or around Times
Square against the continuance OF the
large number Of switches in the tracks
running through the square. 1t is urged
also that the number OF tracks should
be reduced.
In order to do away with the incon-
venience and danger il is proposed by
the complainants in a plan submitted to
the commission 10 remove the present
Broadway tracks Of the Metropolitan
system from point just north OF Forty
third street to Forty-ffth street and the
removal Of the tracks Of the Third avenue
road from a poinf just south OF Forty
fifth street 10 Forty-sixth street. Ii Is
suggested also that the Broadway and
Seventh avenue tracks be connected at a
point midway between Forty-third and
fory-fourth streets and az a point near
Forty-sixth street. BY these changes
the surface car traffic through the mar
rowest part OF the square will be confined
to two tracks instead Of six tracks as at
present, thus adding 100 per cent. to the
amount of street surface available for
vehicles. The commission will hold a
public hearing on the matter on March 80.
