Spring Time is Season for Painting; Lack Of
Paint Said to Cause Bigger Annual Loss
toPropery than Fire Destruction

The painting season Is ON. II you
haven't already felt laundering after
overalls, brush and busket Of
paint, you probably will soon.
The painting urge Is good eX-
ample Of natures efficiency. You don't
feel an overwhelming desire 10 spruce
things up nc Christmas or Fourth Of
July. Maybe your snbconscious mind
knows that paint freezes IN winter
and dries to quickly in hot weather.
Or maybe II doesn't Either way.
spring is the time when you notice
that the house looks shabby beside
the rejuvenating flower bed. and that
the iron frog fountain is shabby In
spots
The esthetic value OF paint Is not.
however, its most important quality.
As some one has euphoniously put II,
paint Is primarily for protection.
Paint Is defined ms chemical com
hination OF materials which prevents
rust or decay. Tests show that de-
cay Of structural material sometimes
begins after only - hours Of eX-
posture to the weather.
Manufacturers say that lack OF
paint causes greater annual prep
erty loss than fire Certainly houses
in every community fall into decay
through lack OF surface protection,
and much iron machinery deteriorates
from the same cause
The department Of agriculture has
no influence on paint prices, hut II

three-fourths the cost Of painting

They are. he said, austere, intoler-
ant, weil-armed and bloodthirsty and
they regard 1t as an article of duty
as well as of faith to kill all who do
not share their opinions. Moreover,
| they are very dangerous to the holy
cities of Mecca and Medina, and the
whole institution OF the pilgrimage
| The finances of the Shereef of Nee

| 10000 pounds cash annually, SO long
as they refrain from annoying their
neighbora and do not interfere with
| the candidacy of Hussein's son, the
Emir Feisul, for the rulership of the
new Mesopotamian state.
| Colonel Lawrence of the Colonial
Office who has lived among the Wa

| that they were indeed a most violent
people. They are, he said, fanatical-
ly Mohammedan and would kill their
men and women, for smoking even a
cigarette. The way they correct their
women is to tie them up in bags and
beat them numerically with palm
| canes
Each man has three wives. Should
any OF them go out Of doors, the code
allows hin, to have her put to death.
This IS because they believe that if
| any other man looks at her she is
contaminated and that if a woman
goes outside her home she is certain
| to go wrong.
Wearing q silk dress or any costly
finery, precious stones or metals, is
also penal offense.
I'm no sense are they a decadent
people, Colonel Lawrence concluded.
| They are virile and as austere as they
| are bloodthirsty and brave. It should
| be cheap at 10000 pounds year to
| buy their goodwill and to keep them
| quiet
i The latter view, however, does not
meet with universal acceptance.
Many taxpayers would prefer to see
the end Of all British commitments

New York, July 15.-Full military
honors marked the funeral today of
Privte John J. Munson, hero of the
lost battalion who died in Bellevue
hospital after being taken ill while
on leave of absence from his post in
the regular army.
Munson died last Friday and it was
three days before his body was identi-
fed. As soon as it became kown that
he was the man who on September Is,
1918 carried the message through the
German lines that reunited the lost
battalion in the Argonne, scores of
civic organizations planned that fitting
honors migth be paid him at his
funeral. Today a column five blocks
long marched behind the caisson that
carried the body to the Church of
Ascension, where high requiem mass
was said, and thence to Cypress Hills
cemetery where military services were
held.

PAST DESIRABLE
Japanese Newspaper Believes That
Such an Arrangement Would go
Far Toward World Peace

Far Toward World Peace
Toxic, July 1.-the recent remark
in the London Times says the Jill
Shimpo, that nothing would be impos-
(sible when Britain succeeds in main
tanning friendly relations with the
American and Japanese nations is a
most powerful endorsement that an
the greatest cardinal element in the
preservation of world peace.
The Jill continues:
THE Japanese are quite aware that
a triple entente among Britain, Amer
lean and Japan is essential to the
maintenance Of world peace and also
that such an entente Is possible only
through an agreement regarding the
naval armament limitation. It is true
Their are some knotty diplomatic prob
lens between Japan and the United
States. But this does not in the least
justify the conclusion that it would be
waste of time and effort for the two
powers to arrive at an agreement for
a naval holiday"
The Kokumin sys that the question
of armament limitation is quite ripe.
ut has passed from the stage of argu-
ment into that Of practice, since both
Britain and Japan have repeatedly
had occasion to declare publicly their
resolution to support restriction
policy if only presented by the United
States. It thus only wants American
decision to bring this all important
agreement into existence

Sukuzen Arai, abbot of Sojiji and chief
of the monastery of the Soto sect at
Tsurumi, japan, who arrived here re-
Gently at the head of a party of Bud
dhlst priests for a months stay in
the islands. The abbot said:
Despite Misunderstanding that
arise from time to time, the Japanese
people in general have the kindest
feelings towards the American PEG
pie. Thesy wish only the warrnest and
most enduring friendship between the
United States and Japan.
Buddhism is commonly misunder-
sood by Americans" the abbot con-
tinued 1.-The American people do
not seem to know that the Buddhist
teachings constantly are exerting a
pacifying influence in Japan. Our
religion is a religion of peace, OPP
posed to nnjlitarism, violence and strife
of all kinds.''
While here the party will dedicate
the new Soto sect mission In Honolu-
lu. The monastery OF which Abbot
Sukuzen Arai is chief is one of the
two principal monastaries of the Soto
sect in Japan and is said to have been
found in 1910 A. D. The sect, which
first began its teachings in Hawaii,
Is years ago, now has 5000 adher-
ents in the islands, the abbot said.

petition. En- route to the State House

MARRIAGE RITES
in PRISON CAMP
elimination Of Pre-War Romance
Occurs in Russia

Warsaw, July 15.-News of tho
marriage in Moscow of Count Szech-
neny1, lieutenant in the Hungarian
cavalry. who is still being held a pris-
oner by the Bolsheviki, to Princess
Golicyn, member of one OF the old
est Russian families, has just been
received here. Count Szechnenyi is
a COUSIN OF Count Lazlo Szechnenyi
who married Miss Gladys Vanderbilt
OF New York
At the beginning OF the war he was
n lieutenant in the Hungarian cav
airy and was taken prisoner by tina
Russians on the Galician front in
1918. He is about 81 years old.
Details of the wedding were brought
to Warsaw by Doctor Sigbond Jane
zura, formerly q dentist in Detroit,
Mich, who served In the Polish army,
was captured by the Dolsheviki and
released from the Moscow prison early
in June.
Count Szechnenyi was a prison CON-
panion OF Colonel Merton c. Cooper
of Jacksonville, Fla, of the Koscius-
zko air squadron who escaped from
Russia this spring.
The romance having had its incep-
ton prior to the World war while the

nenyi's father has palace and vast
estate. Princess Golicyn returned to
Russian several years ago. upon learn
ing that Count Szechnenyi was a pris-
oner and since has been endeavoring
to aid in gaining his freedom and
sending him food whenever possible.
It Is no easy matter to arrange a
marriage by a prisoner in a Bolshe-
vik prison camp. Month after month
the Soviet authorities refused to give
their consent. When it was obtained
the ceremony was first performed by
a Soviet commissar and afterward
a religious marriage was performed
in a Greek orthodox church in Mos
cow Although the Count had many
friends among the prisoners none was
allowed to attend the wedding.
Instead of q friend as best man
there was a Bolshevik soldier guard
The Count. with four armed soldiers
at his sides, marched through the
walled prison gate to the commissar' s
office where he met his bride attend
ed by several girl friends. The Count
wore the same prison garb which he
had worn for months.
Immediately after the church serv-
ice the Count was marched back te
prison. his bride accompanying hin
to the prison gates. The next morn
ing the bride was permitted to visil
her husband and with the Counts
prison friends, sat down to wedding
breakfast-a wedding breakfast OF

HAYS JUMPS RATES.
Hereafter Price of Special Delivery
VIII Be Quarter, Not Ten Cents.


Washington, July 15-The cost OF
sending special delivery letter is to
be raised from 10 cents to 25 cents.
Postmaster General Hays. in max
ing the change, is doing SO on the
supposition that the general public
will prefer to pay the higher charge
for better service than that which
can be rendered under the present
scale, with one messenger getting a
batch of letters, with tho result that
often a special delivery letter takes
longer than an ordinary one.
With the new fee in operation it
will be possible to send a. messenger
with each letter.
The rural communities also are to
have better service, the intention be-
ing to notify addresses, wherever
possible, by telephone that z special
