Letter to VIM. Major
Wildwood, N. j.

Dear Sir: A certain paint manutac
turer advertised "Waldorf-Astori pain
ted throughout with my paint" A
part of the basement was so painted
not satisfactory; painted Devoe mex
time.
There's a certain paint, a big con
g~xeyHrasesad aud amhiuons-tha
hated to see so big a job of another
paint; 8 it went for that business.
That former paint was about two
thirds not paint, but this proud and
ambitious paint was only about one
third not paint. 1t succeeded in get
ting a trial: 25 gallons, 5 kits of 5 gal
Ions each.
When the painter had used n kit,
he called the manager; not satisfactory;
A of the kits returned. A paint, u
third not paint, is not good enough to
displace Devoe.
This was several years ago. That
proud and ambitious paint is better
now; it is nearer honest; it isn't short
measure at all and only 10 per cent
adulterated. It's a pretty good paint
now; 10 or IA gallons of it goes as far as
10 of Devoe.
Judge L. D. Fairchild owns two hou-
SEES alike in Lufkin, Texas. j. M.
Terrence painted both houses, one De-
voc, and the other with that proud and
ambitious adulterated- l5-per-cent paint.
1t took 153 gallons Devoe and 25 gal
Ions of the proud and ambitious paint.
1t takes a pretty good paint TO dis
turb DevOe.

OTTENS TRACT NOTES
Are Numerous, Among
Them Being Many Seekers OF
Summer Homes. Bright
Outlook for Biz Season

The ideal weather that has prevailed
for the past several weeks has brought
many visitors to this popular section
of the island and the inquiries for cot
tages indicates that the demand will
be sufficient to result in every house
being occupied during the coming sea-
son.
The Hotel Ottens has been leased by
the Toppin Brothers, which is a guaran-
tee that this fine and up-to-date hos
telry will be conducted in first class
style. The new proprietors have gain
ed q splendid reputation as thorough
hotel men, and under their competent
guidance the Ottens will undoubtedly
rank as one of the best conducted guest
houses on the coast. The hotel is being
made ready for an early opening.
AS the spring days advance the mo-
tor boat owners are putting in an APP
pearance along the Ottens Canal. A
number of new boats will be added to
the already extensive fleet and In a
few weeks there will be busy times out
around the handsome home of the
Wildwood Yacht club. That organiza-
ton will meet on Saturday evening,
April Both, at the club house and place
in nomination officers for the ensuing
year.
Mr.. and Mrs. George d. Mullen and
family who spent the Easter days most
enjoyably at their cottage on 18th street,
returned to their home in Germantown,
early in the week.
Joseph Marsh, the popular postmas-
ter at Ottens P. o., is keeping bache-
Tors hall this week, Mrs. Marsh being
on a visit to relatives at B%ridgeton.
George j. Ehmann, a prosperous
business man, of West Philadelphia.
and the owner of a fine cottage on
Central avenue, was numbered among
the visitors. of the week.
The new cottage of Asa Colson. be-
ing built on Goth street by Contractor
Frank Larcombe is rapidly nearing
completion.

chanqina Her Mind.

BY an unwritten law it is held to be
the privilege of woman to change her
mind, a license of which she rarely
fails to avail herself. The German
proverb has it that women are varia-
BILE as April weather." According to
an old English adage. "A woman.s
mind the winter winds change oft"
In Spain it is much the same: "Wo-
men, wind and fortune soon change.
and she can laugh and cry both IN a
wind" The old Latin poet Catullus
was of opinion that what a woman
says to her ardent lover ought to be
written on the winds or on running
water" Even the gallant Sir Philip
Sidney wrote:
He water plows and soweth in the sand
And hopes the pickering wind with net 10
hold
Who hath his hopes laid on a woman's
hand.

Cancer

The Cancer Commission of the Medi-
cal Society of Pennsylvania reports:
That In the greater majority of cases,
cancer is durable.
That to be cured cancer must be de-
tected in the early stages.
That in four-fifths of the cases an
cerous growths start in some part ac-
cessible.
That any sore caused by constant
irritation of the skin or mucou mem
brane may become cancer, and there
fore should receive prompt medical at
tention.
That any wart, mole or tumor which
shows liberation is likely to be can
cerous, and therefore should be remov-
ed at once
That cancer is increasing with such
alarming rapidity, that in some sec.
tons of the state it kills as many per
sons as tuberculosis.
That this slaughter is needless. Fol
if the people will watch for the early
symptoms of cancer before 1t spreads
the cure will be almost certain, and
the death rate from cancer reduced tt
q minimum.

The mode is the thing even In the
Tyrol. The prevailing idea must pre-
vail. That the same idea prevails from
generation to generation is due to the
fact that the Partisan demands for
frequent changes do not penetrate to
those peaceful. idyllic valleys where
life flows smoothly like a crystal
stream, letting the wide world outside
wag by unheeded.
Recently in the streets of Innsbruck,
the picturesque capital of the Tyrol,
$4,000 peasants, men and women,
marched before the kaiser in celebra-
ton of the centenary Of the Tyrolese
fight for liberty against French, Bava-
rian and Italian armies. There was no
taking of costumes, no making up
for the occasion. though all were dress
ed in the garb of a hundred years ago.
OF course there have been minor al
terations In the styles since 1910; but,
on the whole, the peasants appeared
little different as to costume from their
everyday aspect of the present.

ABSOLUTE ZERO.
The Freezing Point of HeIium Gas Is
Just Above 1t.

The Freezing Point of Helium Gas Is
Just Above 1t.
Although familiar to scientists, it is
not generally known that the true
zero of heal has beer determined. By
this absolute zero is meant a temper
allure which cannot get any colder,
which means that no heat whatever
exists or can exist at that point. This
point is only about $50 degrees below
the zero of our ordinary Fahrenheit
thermometers or 273 degrees below the
zero centigrade. To realize what 1t
signifies a few words mnssJe placed
here defining heat itself.
i Heat is caused simply by the thou
sands of little molecules in any body
or thing vibrating very fast and thus
sending out waves into the ether.
When these waves strike any matter
they cause that matter to become hot.
as we say. Now, the faster these
molecules vibrate the more heat is
given out and the hotter is the body
itself. The slower the molecules the
colder the body. So. IL a condition
could be reached where the molecules
did nor vibrate at all. why. there could
be no heat, and therefore the body
would be absolutely cold. This con-
dition of affairs Is reached at the
above mentioned number of degrees
below our ordinary scales. 1t is need
less to say. however. that this abso-
lutte zero of heat has never been at
tanned on this earth. the closest ever
reached by man being one degree
above it. This is 272 below zero cent?
grade and is the freezing point of
helium gas. which a German professor
claims to have frozen at that tempera-
ture.
From this theory of heat a peculiar
view is obtained of our bodies and
articles Of matter. We would find. II
we had a microscope to see small
enough. that every bit of matter at
any temperature that we can now get
is a seething mass of moving mole
cules and vibrating particles. One
proof of this is when a metal expands
on becoming warmer. IL we weigh 1t
we find that a hot body weighs no
more than the same body cold. yet 1t
gets larger, both longer and broader.
TO do this it must be composed OF
moving particles that on becoming ex-
cited get farther apart. Another proof
is that liquids and gases have been
forced through every solid that exists
almost. Thus water has been forced
through lead. sulphur dioxide through
iron, etc. The computed size OF these
molecules is rather interesting. 1t is
claimed that If a drop of water rep
resented the earth the number of mole
cules In the drop would be about equal
to the number of grains of sand In
the earth.--Exchange.

NEW YORK, April 9.-The abso-

States at least. is held by the Wright
Brothers of Dayton, Ohio This was
admitted by the Aero Club of Amer
lea this afternoon when its committee
agreed that, in all future aeroplane
contests in the United States pro-
moters. will have to pay royalty to,
and obtain permission from the
Wright company, befoe a sanction for
a meeting will issue.
Just how important the W1ights
believe their control of the air in
America is, was shown by the pres
ence at the conference of Andrew
Friedman, former owner of the base
ball franchise of the National league
in this city and close friends of Rich
ard Croker. Friedman is heavily in
terested in the new million dollar
Wright company. and with Wilbur
Wright, laid down the regulations un-
der which the company will refrain
from interfering with the foreign
aviators.
It was pointed out after the meet
ing that the Wrights are the chief
benefciaries, though the Aero club is
permitted to sanction licensed meet
ings at will, but. foreign aeroplanes
can be used only at those meetings
arr if private individuals want to
buy and use heavier than air ma
chimes they will have to buy from the
Wrights, as the free use of other ma
chimes is prohibited by injunctions Of

Wrights will retain a monopoly of
