AMBULANCE IN COLLISION,
Casualty Hospital Vehicle Comes in
Contact With Automobile.

An ambulance belonging to Casualty
Hospital yesterday afternoon collided
with an automobile owned and operated
by Ollie Kalel. 2o2 9Th street north
west. at Pennsylvania avenue and 7th
street southeast an intersection where
many serious accidents have happened
during the past few years. Both
vehicles were damaged, but their &C.
oupants escaped injury.
DR.. H H. Warner was in charge of
the ambulance and Newlin Blackston,
colored. was chauffeur. The am
hulance was on it's way to LIST and F
streets southwest. where Norris
Hawkins. colored five years old, 215 F
street southwest had been shot in the
foot.
The police were told that the shoot
ing was the result of a stray shot
fired by an unidentified boy. Hawkins
was able to walk from tho hospital
after his wound was dressed.
1t Is the intention of the police to
have the Police Court determine the
question of responsibility for the acci-
dent.

That the removal and proper disposal
Of trash and rubbish of an inf1ammable
character lessons the danger of fire
and may actually prove factor in
bringing about a reduction in fire in
surance rates in the District of Column
ba Is the opinion expressed by c. F.
Nesbit. superintendent of insurance of
the District.
Rates on fire risks in Washington, he
says. are entirely too high, and one
reason for such rates. he thinks, may
be found in the carelessness of persons
who permit all manner Of inflammable
rubbish to accumulate in their houses
or in sheds almost touching the houses.
If fire breaks out in such heaps of
trash. either by spontaneous combus
ton or accident, the property loss may
be heavy. If such fires start in a shed
closely adjoining a house the flames
probably will spread to the larger
building.

ODD PAINT PHENOMENA
OBSERVED BY EXPERT
Prof. Gardner Describes Peculiar
Fungus, Effects of Which Are
Disastrous to Certain Paints.

written for The Star by Prof. Henry A..
Gardner, assistant director, Institute of Indus
trial Research, Washington, D. c.
On recent trip to New Orleans the
writer's attention was called to sew
eral structures. the beauty Of which
was marred by fungous growths which
were referred to by painters as mil
dew. The condition was not universal.
but appeared to prevail on certain
types of paint On such paint it was
found to be most severe in the sections
that were shaded by trees, or in partly
sheltered hooks where dampness was
maintained for considerable length
Of time. If window shutter had re-
manned fastened back against the side
of dwelling for month or SO the
covered surface on inspection would be
found several shades darker than the
rest of the house, many dark mildew
spots being exhibited. The under sides
of veranda roofs. as we'll as porch
columns, also suffered severely.
Paint Remained Soft.
1t was quite apparent that the paint
in such cases had remained soft or be-
came softened by the action Of mois-
ture. thus presenting a surface to
which adhered insects. cobwebs, dust
and various organic substances borne
by the wind. Since many of the streets
of the city contained dust which may
originally have been part of canal or
river bottoms it Is apparent that much
decayed vegetable or animal matter
could be entrained by soft paint, thus
supplying the spores for fungous
growths.
Certain Paints Affected.
Buildings painted for several years
with yellow paint seemed particularly
subject to the fungus. 1t was found
that the custom at one time was to use
a colonial yellow for the body OF
houses, this paint having been made
from carbonate of lead. using ochre as
a tinting material. Recent experiments
have shown that lead paints mixed
with inert or siliceous pigments never
dry properly and are subject to great
darkening. caused by the retention of
dust particles
During the inspection trip sections of
painted surfaces showing marked
formation Of mildew were collected

Two Species Shown.

The two principal types of fungus
developed from the widowed surfaces
were shown to be species of Aspergil-
lus and Penicillium. In order to de-
termine the relative resistance of these
fungi small sections of the specimens
on agar. were placed on painted boards
which were kept in a chamber at
temperature favorable to their growth
In this test the black Aspergillus
proved most hardy, the others seeming
dormant unless kept constantly moist
ened. In one test the black mold in
weeks time eXerted most destructive
effect on board coated with white
lead in oil. Apparently the oil served
as a most favorable medium for its de-
velopment. thus playing one of the
leading roles in the reactions that re-
suited in the destruction of the paint
and exposure of the wood. The devel-
opment of the fungi in every instance
was much more rapid on paint coatings
which were soft and subject to reten-
ton of moisture. Paints which pre-
scented a firm, hard misunderstanding
surface resisted the fungi and prevent
ed termination of the spores.
The board tests were then duplicated
by floating the painted specimens in
oculated with fungi on water in tank.
the same comparative results being OBJ
tanned.
Composition of Paints.
The paints that dried with a soft.
tacky film were prepared from white
lead; those that dried to a hard resist
ant film were composite paints contain
ing white lead and zinc oxide. From
25 to SO per cent Of the latter was used
to produce a resistant film. The oil
used In all paints was linseed. to which
was added per cent of liquid drier.
Although 1t is possible the absence
of "smuts' on paint containing zinc
oxide may be due to the formation in
the paint film of zinc salt which acts
as a powerful fungicide the writer is
inclined to believe that the real value
of the zinc is to be ascribed to its
film hardening characteristics. The ad-
dition of turpentine is also to be ad-
vised, since more rapid oxidation and
firmer films are obtained by its use.
From these considerations it is ap-
parent that many painting defects may
be prevented through the use of paints
of the composite class, based on white
lead pigments, but containing sufficient
zinc oxide to present firm, hard film
When paste paints are thinned by the
painter only clarified. well-settled,
moisture-free linseed oil should be
used.

Rubbish Fire Costs 5000.

"A fire that occurred recently in the
northeast section of the city," said MIR.
Nesbt, was directly attributable to
the practice, common to many families,
of permitting trash, waste paper and
rubbish to accumulate in a shed. In this
case the shed was only few feet from
the rear of the house. which was one
of block of residences. The fire start
ed in a heap of rubbish in the shed,
spread to the house and to adjoining
houses. and before it was extinguished
it caused a loss of $4,000"
In order to protect themselves against
carelessness of this kind. and the risks
such carelessness entails, the fire in
Surance companies advance their rates.
until the cost of carrying fire insur-
ance becomes a burden.

The patent medicine companies had

Andrew began to take on a new
lease of life. He called on his

on frequent pleasure trips and went
to town SO often in his car--or rath-

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR To ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
1t darkens the hair 80 naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire more youthful appearance.
It is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease

Swat the Potato BUD

Prospects in all parts of Rusk
county are exceptionally good for a
large crop of potato bugs. Truly
with the potato bug the old saying
of "a stitch in time saves nine" holds
good Rusk county farmers are urged
to swat the potato bug early.
Among internal poisons for use
against chewing and biting insects
none has been used or of so much
value as paris green. It's use, how
ever, has been superseded by other
compounds of arsenic to some ex-
tent. The most important substitute
at present is arsenate of lead. Euro
pean war conditions have resulted
in much higher price in paris
green, while arsenate of lead is less
costly and for many reasons pref
cradle. 1t has the advantage of
being less harmful to growing
plants and sticks to the leaves bet
ter. 1t is less apt to burn the
leaves of delicate plants, and is not
troublesome to prepare. Arsenate
of lead is sold in paste and powder
form. Two pounds of the powdered
arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of
water will kill the potato bug. 1t
can be used as strong as one pound
ITO eight gallons of water without
injury to the plant but this is not
advisable or necessary. If the paste
form is used, four pounds of arsen-
ate of lead to fifty gallons Of water
are necessary. Usually about two
Or three sprayings are necessary es-
pecially where the bugs have a good
start.
The arsenate of lead will remain
on the leaves better if one pound of
fish oil soap is dissolved in the
spray material. If possible a spray
should be used that will throw the
liquid on the plants in the form of
a mist.

Of the British lines a concert was be-
ing given for the entertainment of the
Tommies Among the contributors
was soldier who purported to be a
piper, but whose performances in.
evitably invited challenge. He was
vigorously hooted by section of the
audience, and amid the din raucous
voice rang out: Send that silly fool
away!" The unkind aspersion, cou-
pied with the violence Of the language,
moved one Of the army chaplains,
who was running" the concert, to pro-
test. He asked who had insulted the
piper There was no response. He
persisted: II want to know who
called the piper silly fool" A mo-
mentary silence was broken when a
burly Irishman rose from his seat and
said: and what l want to know Is
who called the silly fool a piper!"

TESTING cows PAYS

Every dairy farmer in Rusk coun-
ty will find it profitable to join one
of the COW testing circuits which are
being organized in various parts of
the county. Each member of such
a circuit will have the individual
cows in his herd tested for milk and
butter fat productions. The County
Representative thinks that such a
test is profitable and practical for
the following reasons:
/. Because the test not only points
also. Many COWS are considered only
average and are found to be the best
in the herd when the real records
take the place of the Guess Sys-
tenn Sentiment is a strong factor
in selecting the COWS worthy of be-
ing retained in the herd The cows
disposition and temper enters Sc
riously into the matter. With records
such minor things are overlooked in
the real producer
2. Because persistency of milk
flow is the one qualification that out
ranks all others in worthy cows, is
very hard to estimate under the
Guess SYSTEM but is easily brought
to the owners attention through the
test.
8. Because the test develops bet
ter feeders, deeper thinkers, better
dairy men, and better methods of
caring for dairy stock. 1t checks
overlooking and insures greater net
profits.
4. Because the monthly visit of
the tester and the conversation held
with him, and the tendency is Gre
ates to increased discussions with
the neighbors, help to broaden the
mind, induce reading and studying
in fact, make better dairy men and
better citizens.
5. Because COWS from regularly
tOoCOu uGIuS VIII SSll LII HlOIe hlOh
ey, and so do their offsprings.
6. Because the herdsman takes
greater interest in the herd that is
tested than in the INFESTED herd.
Z. Most important of all is the fact
that no other factor SO interests the
boys and girls and attaches them to
the farm and the dairy as that OF
accurate records. If you do not be
lieve that records of dairy COWS is
interesting to children, try it on your
youngsters and you will soon be con
WINGED.
Testing circuits have been organ
lied in the vicinity of Hawkins, Glen
Flora, Tony, Conrath, Ladysmith, At
lanta, hurry, Weyerhaeuser, and in
the town of Rusk. The Representa-
tive will have time to attend tC
about three more circuits this sea
son. If you live in the community
where there are several herds OF
dairy COWS get your neighbor tC
cooperate with you in establishing
a circuit.
