Painting With AIrbrushes.

Painting and vanishing of large
surfaces is now being successfully ac-
complished by means OF airbrushes.
which send the liquid paint in huge
spray all over the object.
At a big furniture factory in New
York they place a chair upon a revolv-
ing platform under a galvanized iron
hood, in the back Of which is an cleo
trio fan drawing the air out into an ex-
haust fiue,. and in the tor OF which are
electric lamps in front OF refectors.
The painter stands with an object that
looks like pistol in his hand. This is
the airbrush. which is attached to a
tube leading from a tank in which the
paint is under 20 pounds OF pressure
furnished by a dynamo and is kept con
stantly stirred. On pressing the trig
ger the paint is projected like a show
er bath all over the chair.

TUBERCULOSIS OIsPENsARY

Doing SPLENDID Work in Controlling
Spread of White Plague in This Vicinity
The Smyrna Dispensary opened in
June 1910. and since then PAT patients
have entered its doors, some for
examination only. Many have been
treated for coles, and those in run
down condition have been watched and
helped until they were in good condi-
ton. Real tubercular cases have
been faithfully cared for, milk and
eggs given when necessary, as well as
the medicines. Patients have been
taught to care for themselves and
thus protect their homes from infec-
tion and those around them. This
persistent teaching is proving to be
a factor in reducing the number of
tubercular cases. In 1915, fifty-eight
persons came to the Dispensary, TWEEN
" of these for examination. OF the
remaining thirty eight persons, some
have been only suspected cases. Out
/ of this number twenty have
improved. In controlling the spread
of this terrible disease. the value OF
the Dispensary teaching and oversight
cannot be estimated.

Almost from the outset Of the ser

into the faces of any and all who
choose to dispute the fact that lie

Of 1923 Ia more likely to govern the

The neutrality board met today TO
consider the case with all the treaty
provisions which bear upon 1t. Secre-
tary Lansing also considered the case.
Sir Cecil Sprlng-Rice. the British
ambassador, today formally asked
Secretary Lansing for the release OF
the Appam, and return to the Brit

Hague convention. which the British
authorities claim has superseded the
