 Durium is so inexpensive that it is planned to issue standard sized records each week, to be retailed at 15 cents apiece through such agencies of distribution as news stands and various retail stores in much the same way as the weekly magazine is marketed. It is easy from this to visualize the time when the weekly paper will consist of records simplifying the news reel pictures that have taken such 1 a hold on popular imagination.

THE PEN may be mightier than' Il the sword, but it isn't half as powerful as the new material that is to be used for photograph records. If the newsreel pictures and the talkies are accurate criteria the pen together with the printing press may be due for a long vacation. And the spoken word will indeed be ruler of new kingdom where newspapers and magazines will emerge in the guise of photograph records.
 The new and wonderful material announced recently by Doctors Louis Hammett and George H. Walden, Jr. is called "Durium" and is all that its name implies. For it IS durable to the point of un- breakability and of equal flexibil- ity, making it ideal for photograph records in particular. But not the

All cultural practices which IN
directly favor the development and
spread of powderv mildew should
be avoided. Brush shelters should
be placed well up near the crest
of the cantaloupe beds to prevent
shading of the plants and to permit
rapid drying of the soil surface fol

removed as soon as the crown set
melons are well developed. Excess
sive irrigation of heavy or poorly
drained soils should be avoided.
Surface drainage should be provided
to carry away excess water which
should not be allowed to stand IN

The use of mildew resistant vsri-
cites of eantaloupes will, of course,
be the most practical means of con
trolling the disease. Until such var
ieties are available from the work,
other means must be employed. The
development of sulphur resistant
commercial varieties will also re-
quire additional work in breeding
and selection. Meanwhile. the con

ALPINE MILK TO
GIVE PREMIUMS
FOR CAN LABELS

The Nestle S Food Company, max
ers of the popular Alpine Evaoor,
ated Milk, announce that usefui
and attractive premiums are now
given for Alpine labels.
A premium store has been opened
at 1865 Mission St., San frahclSco,
where hundreds of these premiums
are on display-including silver,
kitchenware, jewelry, toilet sets,
clocks, leather goods, sporting goods
and toys.
An illustrated prem-am folder has
been prepared and will be mailed to
anyone writing to tie premium
store for it. When the required
number of labels for any premium
have been saved, they may be mall-
ed in to the premium store and the
premium requested will be sent IN
return.
Alpine Evaporated Milk has long
been a favorite with Pacific coast
housewives, many of whom use t
regularly for coffee, cooking and
every milk need. With the added
advantage of premiums for the
labels, this pure creamy milk shoni'
become even more popular in thes'

MODERN GUM
REPLACES OLD
HAND STRIPER

For wears, there has been one
man along an automobile assmbly
line whose job was not affected by
the development of machinery-the
man who striped the engine hoods
by hand by deftly welding a mar
row brush. Even in the old days,
he was regarded by his fellow work
ers as a gifted individual with
marvellous eye and steady hand.
Progress, however held no brief
for the striper.
In the hood finishing department
of the Chrysler plants where the
"77", "70" and "66" models receive
their finishing touches, girls equip
ped with paint guns have taken the
place of the old-fashioned hand
painter. "More and better stripes"
is their SLOGAN as their highlytrain,
ed hands direct the guns across the
beading on the hoods.
Now the striper has a new job
In many eases. he has become an
inspector whose educated eye appre-
ciates the superiority o. "gun
lines" compared to those OF the
brush in the most skilled hand Of
the old school Stripes are now
uniform, straight ana clean.
The striper held uS.oGe place

placed the cal riage. When the spray
booth and bake oven replaced ,he
brush and driving room, when Inc
quer rudely displaced paint and
varnish in the big production plant,
be still held his own. This was one
job, factory heads said, that had
to be done by hand.
The guns used in this stripping
operation resemble tia ordinary
head spray. win Il nozzle desigrcd
to feed thin pain hne as required
in the stripe. A guide attached to
side fits over the raised bead of the
hood, holding it in line so the stripe
is the result of one continuous mo-
tion. A finer, cleaner piece of work
manship is effected compared 10
former methods.
1t is another step in the p".sent
era of closed car production.

A WONDRoUs ADVENTURE
BY Lawrence Hawthorne

Alter the hoping and dreaming,
After the striving for gain,
After the planning and scheming,
After the toiling and pain,
After the long years of waiting
When all our labors are through,
What have we done toward creating
Lives that are noble and true?
What have we done to bring gladnessl
What have we done to bring cheer?
Have we caused heartache and sadness
While we are journeying here?
Who has been helped by our living?
Who has found Joy at our hands?
Have we been faithful in giving
All that true friendship demands?
Life is wondrous adventure,
Happy, successful and bright.
Free from regrets and from censure-
If we but plan 1t Alright.
Joys will be ours TO rthe taking,
Gladness will bless every day
If we are helpful in making
Other hearts happy and gay.
