Suicides Request Not Granted.

The body of Joseph Hennesik, who committed suicide Wednesday night in Stamford, after shooting and killing Mrs. Hazel May Wilkins Hilton, was sent to the home of his brother in New York, Thursday. After the tragedy a note was found containing a request that the man and woman be buried to- gether. It was decided not to grant this request. The woman who had lived in Stamford recently under her maiden name of Wilkins, was the wife of Howard B. Hilton, of Guilford, Me-, and was about to be sued for divorce. The shooting was the outcome, it is said, of her refusal of Hennesik's at. tentions.

Wonderful War Devices.

The Germans have adopted several ingenious devices to cope with prob- lems not forseen at the start of the war, such as armored car destroyers, quick-fring guns on motorcycles, canal guu-boats, and other similar inven- tions. A wonderful stereotelescope produced by the famous firm of Beiss deserves inclusion. Every battery of German artillery is provided with one. It is a remarkable instrumapt. which can be used behind cover out of sight of the enemy. Tine outstanding feat ures are two long slender arms rather like the antennae of an insect. Though absolutely invisible at a very short dis tance, the antennae can give the hid den operator very extensive view. To insure the accurate dropping of bombs from aeroplanes the Germans have an air-gun appliance which pushes the bomb out from the back of the aero plane with the same velocity as that at which the aeroplane is flying, thus do- ing away with the curve with which the bomb would fall if merely dropped by hand. Quite a number of small apparatus are capable of transmitting messages a distance of thirty miles, but another ingenious method of sign alling is to blow puffs of a powder chalk through the engine exhaust.

Paint?

There are two good reasons for paint ing often enough or even too often. One, to look prosperous; two, to be SO.
 Nothing does one more credit or gives one more credit than paint supple mented of course by what goes with it; and paint costs nothing.
 True, the first cost is S5 or SC gal lon put on; but it saves more than that in the property; saves it from slow go. ing down-not always slow-it drops with a jump when water gets in on wood and iron.
 Dry wood and iron cost nothing, kept dry by paint.
 Better paint when it needs it. Paint never goes down in the sense of being more profitable next year. DEVOE
