WORK HAS ASSISTANCE
TO.SOLVE THE IN
DIAN PROBLEM

A Washington dispatch an
nounces that Secretary Work
has invited over a hundred
prominent men and women,
eschewing politics, to help him
to solve and improve the gov
ernment methods to forever
get rid of the Indian problem.
They will serve in a non-sec.
tartan and non-partisan capac-
ity, and may function, event
ually, as an advisory council
to the Interior department.
Secretary Work is quoted as
saying that "the interests CT
the Indians are Incoming
more important and the pro-
blems confronting the govern
ment are growing more com.
plex."

WOMEN BORROW KIDS
TO INFLUENCE
SYMPATHY

An eastern paper says that
whenever women are accused
OF bootlegging come into the
court of Judge MacNeille in
Philadelphia carrying babies
IN their arms the court will in
vestigate whether those babies
are their own or brought into
court with the purpose of ex-
citing sympathy. A woman,
holding one infant in her arms
and with another clinging to
her skirt. and with her hus-
band carrying an IS months
old baby appeared before the
Judge and pleaded guilty to
a sale of liquor. The court
deferred sentence until pro
baton officers could ascertain
whether the children were her
own or were borrowed for
court purposes. The Judge
declared that many women
borrow children to come into
court to plead mercy in behalf
of the children.

Paint Adds Years to the Life Q
a Buildinp-

At the present prices of building
material, it is a matter of economy to
cover the woodwork of farm building
with an occasional coat of paint. Paint
adds years to the life of buildings, and
also improves their appearance as well
as the appearance of the entire farm
stead.
BY the word ''paint" we usually mean
mixture composed of vehicle and a
pigment intended to be spread in thin
coats for protection or decoration, or
both. The vehicle is the liquid part and
is usually linseed oil. sometimes with
the addition of turpentine to thin the
paint and make it easier to spread.
Linseed-oil is made from flax seed and
is the best vehicle that can be used in
making paints, because it differs from
other oils in the property of drying to
a solid, tough, leathery substance which
helps to make paint and varnish tough
and waterproof. Ifdrops of turpentine,
machine oil and linseed oil be placed
side by side, on piece of glass, and
allowed to set, the turpentine will
evaporate, the machine oil will not
harden but leave spot of grease while
the linseed oil will harden, as it dries.
This drying and hardening Is caused by
the absorption of oxygen from the air
which combines with the oil.
The pigment or solid ingredient is
composed of fine powder and is insol-
uble in the vehicle. 1t renders the
coating formed by the linseed oil more
impervious to moisture.
1t takes raw linseed oil five or six
days to dry in the open air. A SUBJ
stance called ''drier" of Japan" is
added to the paint to assist in the
oxidation process and thus cause the oil
to dry more rapidly. No paint for
outside work should contain more than
ten percent by volume of drier.-J w.
