THE MAKING OF PAINTS,

Paints, varnishes and oils etc.
form an industry of considerable mo-
ment.
The paint business as we know IL
today is nightly improved over the
paint industry of SO short a period
as ten years ago, for science and MOD
ern methods have been applied 10
every branch OF the paint business
lust as they have to all lines of man
ufacture.
The paint OF today is better than
the paint OF ten years ago because
competition and extensive demand
have worked together in making bet
ter paints and better paint working
equipment necessary
Detroits Paints Standard.
II has been very aptly said that
ANYTHING made in New York must oi
necessity be the best in all essen
tails. And SO IL is with Detroit paints
whether IL be the paint that Is slath-
cred" over the barn door or the oeau-
tifuI paint that gives the expensive
come or automobile finish that Is
akin TO art. All over this wide coun-
try-yes. and abroad-paint, yarnish
and oil products made in Detroit nave
a following all their own.
These products are recognized as
standard, and the demand Tor them
is not only steady, but more extensive
as the years come and go. ms Is
true of our ready mixed paints or
paint mixing parts; true OF all rea-
sonably expensive varnishes and OF
tbe greater per cent OF our oils.
Paints for a thousand uses are made
in Detroit, from the simple barn
paint to the paint OF the lustrous
hanson, or to the bottom decoration
OF mighty ship. Why, the paint
composition on the bottom or the
greatest war machine afioat, the Eng
fish warship Superb, is OF good ola
American manufacture. The bodies
OF many foreign owned ocean racers
are painted with American paints;
their spars and decks and interior
woodwork is covered with American
varnish-and where only oil Is used
il is Just likely 10 come from these
United States as not.
Great developments have been made
in the manufacture OF high grade
paints, varnishes and oils in this city.
Take the paint and varnish used on
the handsome autombie, for example.
They withstand constant exposure TO
all sorts OF weather. mud, and the Sc
verest test OF all, the wiper who
washes and brushes the mud and dust
away.
Then comes the paint which makes
bricks. stone walls, smokestacks, etc,
impervious TO storms. The beauti-

Whitinq-Paris White.

Whiting is extensively used in
polishing preparations and in various
lines of manufacture. IL is a white,
levigated and washed chalk, and. ac-
cordng TO its quality, is known under
different names. The raw material
used I'm the manufacture OF the better
grades ofswhiting are selected EngllsG

Certain brands OF whiting are used
by rubber manufacturers and the
moulding trade, and II is also in great
demand for kalsomine and cold water
paint, cable insulation, linoleum and
oilcloth. paints and colors. matches.
etc Paris white is the finest grade
OF whiting ard is used by potteries,
china and porcelain makers and IN
other manufactures
Large quantities OF this product are
manufactured in this city for local
and countrywide use.

IRON AND STEEL
TRADE bOOMs
Vast Building in City Gives Great
Impetus To This Line OF
Industry.

The erection of many high build
ngs in Detroit within the past lO
years has given the iron and steel
trade OF the city a big boom. The
trade Is now five times as large as
IL was 1--WE years ago, according To
the local representatives of the big
steel plants of the country. Most
OF the steel used in Detroit comes
from the mills in Pittsburg.
Eighty per cent OF the steel used
in the United States for building
purposes comes from the mines in
northern Michigan. Minnesota and
Wisconsin. or recent, years there
has been an unusually large amount
OF ore taken from the northern
mines, the production. last year, be-
ing 100000 tons, as compared
with 100000 tons ten years ago.
OF the 1919 shipments. IS per cent
went TO Pittsburg for smelling pur-
poses. From is to 10 million tons
OF il was made into pig iron. The
latter, in turn, became steel billets
and these were afterwards made
into boiler plate, steel rails and all
kinds OF steel for building material.
In spite of the fact that such inn
mense quantities OF ore are being
removed from the Superior mines
every year, il Is figured, the steel
men say. that there is enough re-
naming TO last 10 years, at the pres
ent rate of consumption. Therefore,
the steel interests are not worrying
over lack OF material.
In addition 10 the northern mines,
there are many in other parts OF the
United States-Tennessee Alabama,
New York and New Jersey-while
the Canadian northwest and Alaska
also have some. The product OF che
Superior mines has had the call for
some time and will continue to be in
favor, as the steel men contend that
the ore from the other mines does
not produce as good building ma
terial as the Superior grade.
While the use Of steel In skyscrap-
ers has proven great impetus to
the ore trade In the past few years
there has also been a big demand for
steel rails many miles of new rail
way having been built in the United
States and Canada and abroad For
the building trade, the steel men
predict that there will be a greater
call in the future than ever before
for steel inasmuch as all the high
buildings erected now have steel
frames.

INSULATED WIRE-ONE OF DE-
TROIT'S IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES

Insulated wire is an article which
has been much in demand or late
years. principally because OF the ten
dency towards the use or electricity
for the lighting of dwellings and Office
buildings. Few homes are built in
Detroit nowadays without being wired
for electric lighting, with the result
that Detroit insulated wire works are
kept busy. The wire used for such
work is insulated with rubber, and
the insulation is regarded as an abso-
lutte safeguard against danger from
shock Detroiters are given unusual
" good protection in this regard, Tor
the reason that all wiring is carefully
inspected by representative OF the
public lighting commission before De
ing approved for use.
IL Is a mistake, however, for one to
harbor the idea that street wires are
safe because they are insulated. These
wires carry heavy voltage and the in
sulation, which consists OF three
braids of cotton, saturated with com
position Of pitch and other substances,
IS not regarded by electricians as alb
solute protection. AS matter OF fact,
no trained electrician will work about
charged wires without first separating
himself and the wires by means or a
rubber sheet and seeing to IL that his
feet are resting on dry wood. Rubber
IS no longer used for insulating street
wires because OF the advance in price
OF the commodity. Rubber tape which
used to cost 81 a pound, now costs 60.
Relative to the dangers surrounding
electric wires, Frank r. Mistersky.
general superintendent OF the public
lighting commission, gives some
wholesale advice.
1.-The Times can do the public a
good service by pointing out the dan
ger connected with electric wires,
said Mr. Mistersky. First OF all, tell
the public not to NEEDLE with a loose
wire, which may be considered dead.
II is just as liable to be charged as
II Is to be dead, although IL may be
apparently disconnected with an cleo
trio current. II may be charged by a
live wire crossing 1t at some point.
MY advice TO my own children and
wife Is to never touch a wire OF any

sprung into existence within the past
decade, and that every one OF these

II can be readily seen that the
machine tool men have been doing
some business.
tour OF Detroit's automobile rae
tories will reveal some OF the largest
and bestequipped machine shops IN
the country, or in the world, Tor thal
matter. for Detroit leads the world In
auto production. These constitute the
very heart OF the industry. for here
the various parts are fashioned, and
an automobile is no better than lts
weakest part. Hence the necessity Tor
absolute precision and perfectly
clean work, which can be obtained
only by the use OF machine tools
Then, too, il would be impossible 10

II 1t were practicable, and keep pace
with the popular demand. Without
machine tools, therefore. the develop
ment OF the automobile 10 its present
proportions would have been a physi'
cal impossibility.
AS one result of this remarkable
expansion in Detroit there has been
attracted 10 this city vast army OF
skilled mechanics. In fact, II is claim
ed that Detroit numbers among her
working hosts n higher grade OF
mechanics than is found in any other
city in the country, and this has been
brought about largely through the III
creased use OF machine tools.

manufacturing business in this city is
the manufacture OF white lead-the

AND Then THE WORM TURNED
Remark Really More Than Suffering
Street Car Passenger Could Stand
Without Complaint.

At either end of a seat in a Broad.
way open car was an individual, the
one at the far end smoking a very
bad cigarette. Midway between these
two sat something very fat. Not only
was it very fat, but its hat was fat
with feathers, it's fingers were fat

was fat with beads and it's corsage
was superfatted with chains, long,

THE NEGLECT OF SUFFRAGE.

Sneaker Clark's text at Atlantic
City was an old but a good one, says
the Washington Star. All men en-
titled to the right OF suffrage should
exercise it. Particularly Should men
with a substantial stake in the state
take an interest in the nomination and
election OF honest and competent men
to office. Where such men neglect
their duty the result is the making OF
the hoodlum the master of the situa'
ton, Mr.. Clark's estimate, that hood.
ums run nine-tenths of our elections,
is probably high, but that they are
very active in all campaigns and con-
spicuous at the polls cannot be denied.
For long time the idea prevailed
that the hoodlums were busy of their
own initiative and solely for their own
benefit; that they organized in their
own right; that they connected in the
division of spoils-whether offices or
contracts-only with one another
This appraisement of matters easily
suggested remedy. Let men of bust
ness and substance take hand in the
game. Let them orgSnize-not for
self, but good government. Let them
give a little time to the public inter-
ests, and all interests, public and pri-
vate, would be improved.
Within the past few years We have
all had to revise this view. In some
cases-in too many cases-the hood
lums have not been masters, but serv-
ants They have been the agents of
men Of business and substance, who,
through them. have sought and OBJ
tanned legislation of great value to
themselves. Charters, and commits
sions, and privileges of other kinds
have resulted from majorities obtained
by combinations of men of wealth and
enterprise and the scum of cities.
In word, the hoodlum for election
purposes is often financed by the cap
italist, who puts his puppet forward
at primaries, and later, and shares
lion-shares-booty thus obtained. The
hoodlum, though appearing to do so,
does not take the initiative, and does
not operate in his own right. He an

Tammany Hall without such sup

1t is an agent OF men far above the
hoodlum grade, but WHO have found
prosperity in using hoodlums for their
private ends. Tammany's hoodlums
are herded, fed and clothed by men
of substance with large money and
political stake in the game. Some of
the hoodlums acquire wealth them
