New Lamp Burns
 940 Air
Beats Electric or Gas

A new oil lamp that gives an amaz- ingly brilliant soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U. s. Government and 35 leading universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise no pumping up, is simple, clean, and safe. Burns 94 per cent air and six per cent common kerosene (coal OiD.
 The inventor, z. E. Johnson, 29 N. Fifth St., Portland Oregon, is offering to send lamp on 10 days FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality, who will help him introduce it. Write him to- day for full particulars. Also ask him to explain how you can get the agency, and without experience or money make $250 to $500 per month.

Don't allow surfaces to rot-it costs less to paint them.
 We've made paints for western use for 72 years. We use pure PIONEER WHITE LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc and color, but we mix them in scientific proportions with longtime skill.
 Our white lead base must be fine enough to pass through silk screen with 10000 meshes to the square inch. That means covering capacity and ease of spreading. We super-purify the lead to make it .'whiter' which means clearer-toned colors.
 The finished product on the house is a beautiful, elastic, tough protective coating. We call these paints "Fuller's Specified tion House Paints" because they are the very best made for the purpose.

Wrong Ideas
on Paint Economy

THERE'S one way to save on paint.
 | That way is to use the best paints.
 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 properly applied, while cheap paint on the average begins cracking in twelve months. Good paint is an iavest- ment that saves money by preventing de- terioration of the house.
 "Cheap" paint is the only paint that really costs you anything.

Hartford. Conn.,, March 17.-The passage of the measure now be- fore the Connecticut legislature pro- vidlng for a Mounted State ConEtabu- lary Is one of the extremely urgent bills of the session, according to George Le Boutillier, of Ridgefeld, chairman Of the Citizens Committee backing the bill.
 Every argument against the meas ure at the recent committee hearing" said MT. Le BoutIllier, admitted the necessity of strong additional protec- lion for the rural districts of the state. The only disac acreement with the proponents of this bill was the con- tention that the present unmounted force could be enlarged so as to meet the needs of the tuation. But 1t can- hot. It is not entirely a matter o< size, but. of form, of organization, of equipment, and purpose. We insist that what was proven true Tn other states Is true here that A MOUNTED specially trained force Is an absolute necessity in the prevention of crime or the catching of criminals.
 We have the same situation that have New York and Pennsylvania rural districts overrun with criminals from great cities. New York City drives its desperate creatures from the unde rworld over our boundaries to commit their depredations here. We have not been able to prevent 1t. We shall not be able to prevent it until we have such force as, New York State herself uses to prevent their go- Ing into her own rural districts rather than into those of Connecticut.
 Read the records of what such a force has done il. New York and Pennsylvania. That is all that Is necessary to convince one A million dollars saved above the costs of the force for the people of New York fines, etc, ASIDE FROM LIVES. And 1t is impossible to calculate the amount saved by the prevention of crime, just by the existence of such a force.

in a speech which was given very close attention and was frequently mp- plauded.
 At one time," said Commissionew Gabaldon, Congress had before it np less than thirty resolutions expressing sympathy with the aspirations of the Irish people, if not actually urging Ena- land to grant independence to Ireland At that time, also the Fflipinss were Knocking at your door. Out of the womb of war, many European repub- Hes were born, and America has re- joiced to uphold the same. And yee the. claim of the FIlipinos is still un- needed. Must there be exceptisnA. then, in international tusticer
 My plea, gentlemen of the Amewi- can Congress, Is that you ignore no longer the repeated requests of a d@- serving people for an independence that rghtfully belongs to them. The granting of independence now affords the United States a golden opportunity to give to the world upanswerabla proof of It's sincerity, its consistency and its altruism. It will be the great est example of square dealing in the history of the ages.
 Do not think we are not appre- ciative of all you have done for us. We are. America has truly treated the Filipino people as no other nation has ever treated an alien race in all history. The high points of the Amer ican policy in the Philippines have been consistently inspired by altruism. We know that you were actuated ln your lnbors by the desire to contrib ute to our own welfare.
 And we love you perhaps most of all for your solemn promise to grant us that which we hold dearer than life itself-our freedom. Independence Is our national Ideal. It is our all ab- sorbing aim, It grows stronger every hour. For the spirit of nationalism never dles Much less can it be sub dued. We believe that we can never hope to ba & sturdy nation if we are to rely forever on the rnagnanfmfty oA the United States. Islands Is finished. What you have as- sumed as your sacred obligation in that part of the world has been ful- filled. A people with a medieval sys- tenn, of institutions has been trans formed into conscious nation, im- bued with all that Is modern In the activities of nations. And if you give us Independence our gratitude to you will increase a thousand fold; It will last forever If you keep faith with us.
 There Is but one issue in the Phil ippine question, and that Is: Is there today a stable government on the Is- lands? In the Jones law you promised independence upon the establishment of such a stable government. Your own Governor-General has officially reported that there Is a stable gov ernment In existence today, and we also have submitted plenty of evidence to substantlate its existence. There fore, we hope and expect America will now carry out its pledge"

THE LABOR BOARDS VERDICT.

Abrogation of the national wage
and working agreement between the
railroads and their employees July 1
the roads what they have asked for
but it is so hedged about that it's value
remains to be determined. The deci-
sion enables each road to negotiate
directly with its employees for the
purpose of reaching a new agreement,
but the board has said to the roads,
thus far can you go and no farther.
Much good may come out of the re-
adjustment process if both sides enter
the conferences in a spirit of fairness
and with a desire to include the pub
lie interest in the new agreements.
In recent address before the Rail-
way Business association, Chairman
Edgar E. Clark, of the interstate com
mission, said:
We all know how large a part pop
ular impressions have in forming
public opinion and how long it takes
for the slowly developing proof of
facts to rectify such impressions when
once they have taken hold. We must
build upon the foundation of expert
ence and sound business Judgment
that is free from selfish shirking,"
and not upon the unstable ground of
theories and opinions that in large
part ignore the true facts.
Some critics assert that the law
makes of the railroad business a pre-
ferred business and confers upon the
owners special favors. Others assert
that it recognizes a preferred class of
labor.
Conceding that on the surface there
IS that complexion, and assuming for
the purpose of discussion. but not ad-
hitting, that these preferences exist
l ask, if this be so, is it wrong? If
this be so, why is it so? Congress
recognized, as did all thoughtful men,
that transportation is the life blood of
commerce and industry and vital to
the protection of our nation. 1t must
be provided in adequate and reason
ably efficient form.
Continuous and dependable opera
ton of our transportation machine is
almost as important as is its existence
The law was formulated in the inter-
est of the cOhntry and of the public
The capital Invested in, and the men
who operate, our transportation ma
chine are employed in serving the pub
lie which must and should compen-
safe both.
If it clearly appears that in order
| to give the country the quantity, quail
| ity and character of service that it
needs. to which it is entitled, and for
which it must pay, some preference,
apparent or real, should be afforded
to the capital and the men that are
| employed in that service. I submit
| that such preference is not undue so
! long as the public's right to reason
able and nondiscriminatory service
and charges is protected. But If that
| capital and those men are recognized
| as having a preferred status because
of the public character of the service
| in which they are employed, those
men and the owners of that capital
must recognize an obligation to the
public which also springs from the
character of the service in which they
| are employed.

JUST FOLKS
THE DREAMER AND A DOG.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

THE DREAMER AND A DOG.
I seem to have a longing for the road that
winds away
From the noisy land of work-to- do to the
pleasant Iand-of- play;
I'd like to be vagabond, chum Of lanes
and streams,
And make the world of real things a play
ground of my dreams.
oh, would foot it up and down, nor care
about my goal.
I'd make my couch beneath a tree and
rest my weary soul;
I'd answer every songbird's CALL and
should 1 chance to see
A lonely dog along the way, I'd let him
come with me.
I'd toss to him my. crusts Of bread and
take his love for pay,
And he and 1 would little heed what others
had to say;
We'd trudge along or romp along and rest
whene'er We choose,
And fill the day with happiness from
dawning to the close.
A dreamer and friendly dog and dusty
miles to tramp.
The stars al night 10 blink at US when we
have pitched our camp.
Our faces to the land -of-play, our backs
TO selfish care.

intelligent supervision in their homes,
in the schools and in the workshops.
In the case of cardiac children, pa
rents and teachers should be instruct
ed as to their care. Adults with dam
aged hearts should be provided with
suitable occupations, entailing mini
mum of strain.
One of the most important relief
measures, from both a medical and
an economic standpoint, is the voca-
tional training of children in suitable
trades, ana the adjustment of the
adult heart cripple to some form of
labor which is within his physical ca
pacity. The work of the Trade School
for Cardiac Convalescents has demon
strated clearly that patients with even
the more severe grades of heart dis
ease are able, under proper supervi-
sion and control. to earn their livings
in spite of their somewhat precarious
state of health.
But the point the association wishes
emphasized is that crippled hearts can
be prevented if they are discovered in
time. The only way this can be as
sured is thru periodical examinations
by physicians. A heart which is in
good condition one year may be run
ming on only half power the next and
in no condition to survive a sudden
ecstacy of joy or grief.
