USE FOR LUMINOUS PAINT
Material Found Almost Invaluable in
War Might Also D. We'll En-
poyed in Peace.

Here is ii wartime application of
luminous paint that should be useful
in summer camps, on the hikes of boy
scouts in peacetime maneuvers of
citizen soldiers, in marking the land
ing places of aircraft, etc.
The British army had disks or but
tons two or three inches in diameter
coated with luminous paint and having
sharp spike on the under side. These
were stuck upon the sides of trenches,
buildings, fences, etc. or were swung
by hand to give signals in the we'll
known code where bright lights were
dangerous or where silence was
golden.
The luminous disks We're visible
from 30 to 60 feet, so they formed val
liable landmarks. Luminous ribbon
also was used for marking trails
through the woods, and luminous
patches were attached to the backs of
stretcher bearers to prevent them from
being tired upon by their own troops.
The Scientific American suggests
that the names and numbers OF city
streets might well Ne marked with this
luminous paint.

Now We Can Farm Better.

Yes, we can afford to farm better
now, and since the world needs our
products 50 badly, and is willing to
pay us well for them, it really be-
comes our duty to farm better. 1t
has been said in the past that the
American farmer has farmrd as well
AS he could afford to considering the
low prices that he received for his
products. As result of this necess-
ity he has !, d the world in production
per man, but has fallen behind in
production per acre. With 50. %
wheat, 50 corn, $40 hogs. and prices
Of other products in proportion, it
certainly seems that the American
farmer can begin to improve his acre
production very pr"fitahly. In other
words, we can afford to begin to farm
more intensivcly. This means that
we can put more labor on the pro-
duction of cur crop, spend more mon
ey for fertilizer, and handle our soils
in such "A way as to keep them IN
better condition than has been pos
sible in the past. Farmer.

ago at the villa of Nero, in the seaport
town of Anzio. near Rome, and pur-
chased by the Italian government for
400. 900 lire. Admirers of art and stu
dents of archaeology had travelled from
all over Europe to see ii, and the
youthful tlripvd figure, carrying plat
ter from which the object ii long ago
held had been broken, was named the
Maid of AnHio. Theu somebody noticed
that the long robe was lifted little,
Ms if to avoid tripping over it, that
the biccps muscle of the bare arm was
more boyish ,han girlish, and so on,
until modern judgment has decided
that the title Fanciulla .d'Anzio is a
misnomer, and that the unknown
sculptor was really modelling the figure
of handsome youth performing some
service in an ancient temple.

twenty OF the IS War Savings Stamps
may convert them into a 500 Savings

turn them In for a 1000 Saving Ger
tihcate.
Conversion may be made at all first
and second class postofcices and at all
Incorporated banks and trust COM

the second class. The Treasury Saw
ings Certificate will be issued in reg.

per cent compounded quarterly as do
the War Savings Stamps. The limit
OF the individual investment for the
1919 series of stamps still remains at

BRICKS AND CEMEMT SWELL
Abcorb Mo sture ard "Grow" to a Con-
siderable Extent According to
English Publication.

How much las your house or the
waIl'at the ab''ttom of your garden
grown?
Houses and ralls, indeed all things
made of bricks, do grow, and this fact
Is knOWn to arc hitpctS. who sometimes
have It" allow for it when making
plans for BUILDING. says London An
SWerS.
In the old days, when the clay of
which bricks we're made was mixed
with water before being baked. the
amount of growth was not n0ticeible;
now that no water, or very little, is
mixed with tie clay. which is there
fore said to he dry baked, the bricks
absorb moisture and swell sometimes
to II considerable extent.
Some years ago in garden at Ely
pier was built of dry baked bricks
and the garden hose was turned onto
this pier for considerable period
every day for some weeks. AT the end
of this time the pier was measured,
when ii was found to have grown
some inches.
Cement is another substance which
grows. That is why you may often see
on station platforms and on wall cop
ings built of cement one of the joints
missed out here and there.
The greatest growth naturally takes
place where dement's and bricks are
used togcthcr~as happened in Il house
of which the parapet was built of
bricks placed cndWays and cement sup
ported on iron. The growth in this
instance was so great that quite large
spaces We're visible between the iron
supports and the parapet.

Supplies May Now Be Sent to

specta, DessafcA to rns Sun.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE -Darda-
nelleB and all of the Black Sea ports
were opened to American trade and COM
merce by decision Of the Supreme Eco
nomlo Council in Paris to-day. An
nouncement of the decision was made
to all American exporters and importers
through the War Trade Board tonight,
following receipt of a cablegram from
Varce c. Mccormick. chairman of the
hoard. who Is sitting with the Supreme
Council.
The action marks by far the most ex-
tensive opening Of territory to trade
since the signing OF the armistice. 1t
means that commerce can be resumed
with Turkey, both in Europe and Asia,
with Bulgaria Rumania and all Of the
peoples who were part Of tho Turkish
Empire as constituted before the war.
1t means that food and clothing and
other supplies can go to the Armenians
and other destitute peoples In southeast
ern Europe and Asia Minor. The OAR
danelles arc open to the trade of the
world for the first time in history and all
Black Sea ports can be reached.
Though the other allied countries are
still, technically at least, at war with
Turkey and Bulgaria, It 10 understood
here that they will resume trade with
these countries through tho Dardanelles.
Care will be taken by the Allies Jointly
to insure tho blockade against the Gen.
tral Powers and to prevent allied goods
from reaching than through their for
mer allies.
Coincident with the opening Of the
Dardanelles Chairman Hurley Of tho
Shipping Board made It known that
there Is sufficient export freight on the
docks In American ports to load 10000
more tons OF shipping than Is now
available.
Just whore this needed tonnage is
coming from 10 not known. II IL re-
garded as likely. however. that add
tional tonnage can be released by the
War Department with the cutting down
Of the American forces abroad. Each
returning transport cuts down the re-
auirements OF food. equipment and sup
plies that must be sent to the army In
Europe, and there Is already a large
accumulation OF army stores in France.
This country also has upward OF ninety
ships in relief work. carrying supplies
to Belgium and other stricken areas II
Is expected that British ships viii take
up some of this burden. relieving an
equivalent tonnage OF American ships for
foreign trade
American ships in relief work have
lightweight tonnage of upward Of Soo,-
900. They are largely vessels built to
meet the war emergency. Seven Dutch
and one Norwegian ship are helping out.
