PAINT ACTS AS DETECToR
Designed to Warn Mechanicians When
Engine Parts Become
OVerheated.

Designed to warn mechanicians when
engine parts are Overheated, there is
new paint, which turns from its light
red color to a deep brown at 20 de-
grees c., and to almost black at 50
degrees. When the overheated part is
cooled, the paint turns back to its
normal color. The changing color at
tracts the attention of those about and
hence gives the opportunity Of apply
ing a little oil at the critical moment.
The machine itself can be thus
saved from complete destruction and
all danger of fires from Overheated
machinery eliminated. The chemical
properties of another paint, acalOrin,
stop the heat rays of the sun, so that
when applied to roofs. the rooms below
are kept from 10 to 35 degrees cooler.
1t is a light blue and can be applied
to windows where the sun beats down
and causes extreme heat, without ap-
preciably diminishing the light. 1t Is
especially adaptable to corrugated iron
roofs, which often make the interior OF
a factory or stOrehouse an unbearable
oven In the summer. Even applied tC
factory walls, 1t reduces the tempera'
ture of the interior. It viii go far In

the girl was thin and pale. while
the little boy always had something
wrong with him. Both were
"cranky"-fought with other kid
dies and were hard to manage.
A neighbor one day suggested
that give the children a little

she kept telling me how very won

Well, you'd never believe it when
tell you that my children are not
the same children they were three

GREATEST BOOK VERY BRIEF
New Testament Has Been the lnspira.
tlon Of Sublime Master
pieces.

Jesus Is as supreme In literary art
as He is In ethics. The short stories
from His lips in the Gospels are su-
perior to anything written by Guy de
Maupassant, ChekOy, Poe, Bret Harte,
Rudyard Kipling, Nathaniel Haw-
thOrne or o. Henry. The narrative
style of the four evangelists has the
dignity Of simplicity; the letters of
Paul, James and John are better Illus
trations of epistOlary skill than any
thing to be found in Horace WalpOle,
Thomas Gray or William Cowper.
Mystical beauty in language has never
reached such an altitude as In the
fourth Gospel and in the Revelation.
says William Lyon Phelps.
In addition to being itself the pin
nacle of literature, the New Testa-
ment has been the inspiration of sub
lime masterpieces in other forms of
art-in architecture, paintings, music.
One has only to think Of the medieval
Gothic cathedrals, the paintings of
Raphael, Leonardo, Andrea del SartO,
MichelangelO, CorreggiO, Murillo,
the music of Handlers Messiah" and
Of Wagner's "Parsifal." Out of that
slender book flowed a creative i'm
pulse. the effect of which can hardly
be exaggerated.
The complete sayings of Jesus can
be read in three hours; but it will
take more than 5000 years to record
the results of His few words. That is
what is meant by the last verse of the
last chapter of the Gospel, according
to John: "And there are also many
other things which Jesus did, the

held about a year ago were read and
some changes suggested in the plans
by which this grape growers associa-
tiOn might operate to the satisfaction
of all its members.
The chief purpose of the meeting
on May 26 was to consider the re-
organization of the grape growers
association which was started over g
year ago, and to formulate plans fol-
the new organization.
A committee of five growers com
posed of S. ]. Hall, James H. Hughes
E. Willim, w. V. Cosden and N. w
Taylor, will meet and prepare thest
plans which will be submitted at tn,
