DON'T allow surfaces to rot
1t costs less to paint them.
We've made paints for vest
ern use for u years. We use
pure PIONEER WHITE
LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc
and color, but VIC mix them in
scientific proportions with long
time skill.
Our white lead base must be
fine enough to pass through a
silk screen with 10000 mcshes
to the square inch. That means
covering capacity and ease of
spreading. We super-purify the
lead to make it "whiter," which
means clear-toned colors.
The finished product on the
house is a beautiful, elastic
tough protective coating.
We call these paints "Fuller's
Specification House Paints" be-
cause they are the very best
made for the purpose.

Wrong Ideas
on Paint Economy
THERE'S one way to save

THERE'S one way to save
4 on paint. That way is to use
the best OF paint.
Some think of paint economy
as cost per gallon" That is
wrong. Cheap paint doesn't
cover as much surface you
need more gallons.
Cheap paint is more difficult
to spread, requires more labor,
so the best paint costs no more
when you've put it on the house
than cheap paint does.
More than that, it lasts five
or more years longer, if prop
erly applied. while cheap paint
on the average begins cracking
in twelve months. Good paint
is an Investment that saves
money by preventing deteriora-
ton of the house.
* II Il r
"Cheap" paint is the only
paint that really costs you any
thing.

 LIES MEAN THEIR FALL.

Berlin. April 29.--The intensely crit ical situation has taken q sensational i turn
 The gloom and pesSimism which de veloped yesterday when France forcs- bly and England quietly declared the new reparations proposals unacceptable turned today to desperation. This desperation resulted in abi- net member offering a resolution that Germany accept the entire French pro gram and drop negotiations through President Harding
 learn from the highest diplomatic sources that this minister first pro- posed that Germany immediately in- l form France that she was ready to ac- eept as her indemnity the sum of DC GOO .O00 0OO gold marks as claimed in the Paris accord.
 But in discussion it was said that 1 France was not preparing to occupy the 1 Ruhr district because of the difference of 26OOO .O00.0O0 marks alone but was dissatisfied with several other points, among which are the rate of interest and the 12 per cent levy on German exports.
 Finally the resolution accepting the entire French program was introduced. In his address the cabinet member pro posed '.nnconditional surrender" de claring this was the only possible way to prevent the French from carrying out n military program in the Ruhr dis trict which would fatally wound Ger many
 This resolution brought most acute cabinet crisis. While some of the cab met members favored the complete sur render resolution. il was realized that no cabinet could accept the French program and survive.
 However. since the storm of disap nroyal from French. British and Amer ican sources has broken over then heads. over the offer sent to America the cabinet is not eager to remain il office
 The cabinet realizes that further con sessions mean its fall and il is ready te quit and let another government accePl inc entente's original demands.

WARNS NATION AGAINST DIS. ARMING WHILE WORLD IS IN
 TURMOIL.

Washington April 29.-Reduction of the size of the army to 16S,0O0 men. as proposed in the army bill now before the house. was strongly asSailed today by Representative Kahn of California. chairman of the Military Affairs com mittee.
 Mir. Kahn announced that at the pro per time he would propose an amend ment to fix the strength of the army at 175. 1000 men. the number desired by Secretary of War Weeks.
 II am not an alarmist, am not afraid of war. but we ali know that world conditions are unsettled said Representative Kahn. and in the in tereSt of true economy. in the interest of the welfare of the country, l shall appeal to the membership of this house to support such an amendment.
 "t seems to me the facts are so pal pablo that no one at this time ought to want to cripply ou military estah lshment. We have grave international questions which our State Department isl trying to solve. We hope they will be solved with honor and credit to our government During the pendency ot these matters, and in their. solution. no 1 individual can foretell what is going to happen.
 Citing the fact that Japan and ChinA 1 both have much larger armies, the Cal ifornia representative said that in pro portion to population only Colombia and Paraguay have smaller armies than the United States.
 ..Thousands of citizens believe, said Mir. Kahn, that this country by reduc ing its army can bring about interna tional disarmament without any diff clltv. Some months have elapsed since we reduced our forces. l have sect no indication anywhere that any othel nation in the world k making effort to follow our footsteps. Therefore, consider it the part of wisdom at ieaS for the present, to maintain a mihi mum force of 1T5.O0o enlisted men
 Answering the demand for reduction of government expenses. Mir. Kahn de claled the secretary of war could b' trusted absolutely to cut expenses wher ever possible without injury to the mil itary establishment.

CLAIM GOMPERS
WILL BE BEATEN
United Mine Workers Pushing Lewis for
Head of American Federation
of Labor.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Samuel
Gompers' friends refuse to take seriously
the proposed candidacy of John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers of
America. TO succeed the veteran head of
the federation of labor. Lewiss friends,
on the other hand, stated yesterday that
they are assured of enough votes in the
American federation of labor convention
in Denver next month to elect their man,
if AIR. Lewis will run.
Mr.. Lewis, who left Washington for
New York yesterday afternoon, is non
committal of his candidacy. 1t is stated
he is not moving hand i'll furthering the
efforts to elect him.
Supporters of Mr.. GomperS who has
had an almost unbroken record of service
through several decades, assert no one
man can obtain enough votes to swing the
convention against the veteran leader.
Before the Montreal convention last year
agitation against Mr.. Gompers was started
but came to nothing.
The Lewis movement counts on a coal
ition between three of the largest labor
organizations the miners, the carpenters
and the machinists, with possible assist
ance from the railroad organizations in
the federation and some of the smaller
unions. The miners have always had the
largest voting power in the conventions
of the federation, casting about 1000
of approximately $4,000 votes.
