f. board thru a microscope.
Observe the innumerable,
minute wood pores which
once contained sap.
Into these tiny wood pores
whitehead paint sinks. When
dry it is thus actually rooted
or anchored to the wood by
thousands of hooks-so
firmly anchored that no
stress of gruelllng weather
can tear it loose.
For paint to enter the wood
pores the particles of white
lead must be extremely fine.

to pick up any news. The British am

me that he was there for the purpose
of asking for his passports. He spoke
in English. of course. and / am sure
that he was overheard by a man sit

like a German newspaper man. SO that
was not surprised when. late In the
afternoon, extra sheets appeared upon
the street announcing that the British
ambassador had asked for his pass
ports and that Great Britain had de-
clared war.
At this news the rage of the popula-

foreign Office had believed. and this

they would not declare war.
