Clergyman's View of The
"Own Your Home" Movement

Clergymen are peculiarly able to
appreciate the appeal of this own
Your Home" movement because they
are so seldom able to won their own
homes. Not only does the clergy
man rarely ever have enough money
10 buy a home. but his occupation
prevents him from striking his roots
so deeply in the soil. He must al
ways be ready to strike his tent and
move on.
The very freedom Of his ministry
depends on his willingness TO speak
the truth even though il cost him
his lob" and means that he must
go to another town. But JUS as it
was homeless wandere: who
wrote the song of Home Sweet
Home" so the clergyman, who is
often a wanderer. and sci 1om the
owner Of his home, appreciates in a
peculiar way the value of the per
.sonal possession OF a home.
You can depend on the churches
20 back YOU up in this own Your
Home" movement because the
churches have a very definite stake
in the kind Of homes people live in.
1t is very difficult 10 build up a
strong church in a community that
is made up of renters and apart
ment house jewellers who are here
today and somewhere else tomor-
row.
Church Thrives.
The church thrives best where the
people own their homes and are
permanent in the community. As a
general rule 1t can not be dedicated
TO the service of the Almighty until
it is free from incumbrance. But
the church will back this movement
not merely because il has what from
one point of view may be called a
selfish interest in il, but because the
church is here 10 serve the larger
welfare of the community and il
recognizes the social benefit TO the
community of the homes which peo-
pie own themselves and do not mere
~ rent
The moment a man acquires a
home he at once acquires a deeper
Interest in the civic welfare Of the
community where that home is To-
Gated tt is easier TO interest him
in good government. 10 arouse him
again the saloon and 10 secure his
cooperation IN all movements that
lead 10 civic betterment.
Moreover, owning ones home is
conductive 20 a finer type Of home
life. and the church believes that the
quality OF our civilization depends
fundamentally on the purity and
nobility Of our home life.
Clever stunt"
A speaker. at recent meeting
told OF a clever stunt. the building
Of a bungalow complete in eight
hours. / couldn't help bat ask my
self as he was speaking. How long
will a house built in that time hold
together
The church is interested not only
iu homes. but in permanent homes.
and while You may possibly build a
house in eight hours. YOU can never
build a home in that time for a
home. like almost all precious things.

Paint Up And
Do Not Let Your
House Detenorate

All paint is composed OF two
things: pigment and vehicle-solid
and liquid. II would be difficult TO
say which OF the two is more i'm
portant, for if either one, or the
proportions OF each, are wrong, the
paint will not be satisfactory. Gen
orally speaking. white lead is the
universal white pigment and lin
seed oil the universal vehicle-espe-
cially for outside painting.
White lead is the only white pig
ment that. used alone, Will make a
practical paint. other things are
frequently found in paint-challi.
barytes. silica, etc. but 1t is neces-
sary 10 use some white lead with all
of them in order TO make paint that
will pass muster. The intrinsic value
of such paint is in direct proportion
TO the amount OF pure white lead II
contains Linseed oil is the life Of
paint. II has the quality Of absorb
ing oxygen from the air and dry
ing into a hard and elastic film. 1t
does not remain greasy nor does II
evaporate. but actually increases in
weight as ii dries.
White lead and linseed oil have so
strong an affinity for each other
that If linseed oil is added 10 a mix
ture of dry white lead and water,
and agitate it for a time, sthe lead
will take up the oil and exclude the
water, and the water Will come TO
The top instead Of the OIL. What bet
er quality can he asked for in paint
han that il naturally excludes
moisture?
If linseed oil is adulterated with a
,reasy oil. its drying qualities are
affected and it remains tacky. If
adulterated with a volatile liquid,
the binding power of linseed oil is
lacking and the paint soon dis
integrates.
TO make colored paint. certain
pigments called 'tinting colors' are
added and one test of skilled
painter is his ability TO produce any
shade or tint that a customer may
desire. When a painter cannot do
this he usually wells his ignorance
by recommending some ready mixed
paint.
Last year people painted TO i'm
prove appearance. very good rea-
son. but there is a better one today.
10 save waste is the uppermost pa
-riotic thought now. We can af-
ord least Of all 10 waste lumber.
II will never be cheaper. Your
buildings are worth more today than
they cost. because they couldn't be
built again for the same amount.
Lumber insufficiently protected by
paint soaks up moisture. A wet
house is a cold house. and when
cracks and nail holes open up for
want of paint the wind gets in.
Worst of all, wet lumber decays.
Paint is decay insurance and it
was never more needed than now.
The cost OF painting in proportion 10
the value Of the property 1t protects
is no higher. The rate of decay in
surance remains the same There
is no use TO argue with the weather.

Winchester. Va. is a neat, pretty
little town located at the edge Of the
mountains in the famous Shenandoah
Valley, which is generally given credit
for having fed the Confederate army
during most of the Civil War. Win

fled by a fine bronze statue in front of
the courthouse which represents, not
the usual general on prancing stall
lion. but a private soldier Of the Con-
lasting honor of every soldier who
faithfully served the South"
Winchester, like most other south
ern towns, is notable for its homes.
Few towns of its size could be found
with more large, comfortable loo king
Its business section is far less impress
sive. Being located on the excellent
Shenandoah Valley pike, it has of
course good hotel which is mem
serves its best rooms for motorists.
Eastward Of the town lies farm
ing country OF low, smooth hills,
which is one OF the richest and most
completely cultivated in the South.
Here you see none of the woods and
brush and fields gone to broom-sedge
which characterize so much of the
South. This section is as neat and
businesslike as the Dutch section of
Pennsylvania.

There appears to be a widespread
belief that the Huns still have in re-

offensive. There does not seem to be
anything to warrant this belief and
1t probably results from an undue esti-
mate of German resources, power and
efficiency. Admitting, however, that
the Huns may attempt another often

plish by it? The German situation is
Well set forth by the Christian Sci
ence Monitor, which says: Every
hour Germany fights on. every new
ship she torpedoes by piraticaI meth
DDS. every new village and town in
France or Belgium that she destroys,
she is piling up the debt that she will
be called upon to pay, and that she
will be forced to settle when the peace
conference meets. All this time she
Is using up those reserves of man
power. which she will need for her
own re-establishment as great
power. and she is impoverishing those
resources which will be strained to the
utmost to meet her period of recon-
struction.' Therefore, it should be
manifest to the very meanest intellect
that any months of grace which Ger
many may receive, while the new
american army is getting ready for
the field, will be months of grace used
Tor her own undoing and her own de-
struction. Every battle that her
armies fight. every day that the block
ade of her frontiers continue, is
further loss to her, and a loss which
cannot possibly be recouped In any
way.

various evolutions made by the pilot.
and particularly the turns to the right
and left. Almost without exception
the men made accurate rotations.
Seven deaf mutes were then blind
folded and given the same instruc-
tons. The results left small room for
doubt. None of the mutes was able
to notice a change OF SO much as 80
degrees. They could not distinguish
the deepest right banks from those OF
the deepest left, nor could they notice
the difference between climbing, and
diving in a vertical position. At the
conclusion of the test some of the
mutes confessed they were entirely
ignorant of their positions during the
flight, and were at times almost
tempted to tear the bandages from
their eyes.
The conclusion Of the Medical Re-
search laboratory is that the less the
sensitivity of individuals to q change
of position, the less efficient those in
dividuals would be in the air." This
high sensitivity may be the real ex-
