FIRE THAT LEVELED LONDON GAVE

Painting New Wallboard.

Wallboard makes an excellent sur
face for painting. If not already sized,
treat it with good interior spar var
nish thinned with turpentine to about
the consistency of linseed oil. If you
add to the varnish-size a small guam
tity Of the paint that is to be used as
the finish coat, just enough to color it,
the size coat will often answer the
purpose of q priming coat. The wall

moisture and shrink in dry weather;
and, second. builders rarely paint the
top and bottom edges of doors. either
because these edges are not seen or

Importance of protecting the wood.
The remedy for sticking door, &C
cording to the Forest Products Labora-
tory of the Department of Agriculture,
is to plane the top and bottom edges
until the door fits and then to give
these edges several coats of varnish or
paint This treatment will prevent
moisture from entering the wood and
the consequent swelling and shrinking
of the wood.
Painting the top and bottom edges Of
new doors before they are hung will
prevent almost entirely, sticking due to
moisture changes in the wood.

AL JENNINGS INVESTS IN RUBY MINES
Famous Oklahoma Train Robber Comes To Tucson
Flags "StOck Promoters" For Thievery

AL Jennings, one of the most
colorful train robbers of the Old
West, who was given a pardon from
a life sentence by President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, is a member OF a
grour oa Californians who have
Just come into control of several
mining properties near Ruby, Ariz.,
it was learned upon his arrival in
Tucson Wednesday.
The properties include the Dos
Amigos, Tres amigos and Orc
Blanco holdings, the machinery and
equipment OF which are valued at
$4,000. Two million tons of gold ore
are reported to have been taken
out of the mines.
Jennings, who now lives in Holly
wood, was particularly caustic Wed
nesday in his comments about
what he termed big business.
Nogales international., 1933-07-29

Certain stock promoters are
worse than the old-time Oklahoma
robbers" he declared. Neither the
robbers Or the promoters ever gave
the other fellow chance. The
financierS, however, are worse since
they take their swag from the poor
and rich alike. The desperadoes of
yore only took theirs from the rich" :"
He refuted the old maxim that
"crime doesn't pay by saying,
"crime pays big if done on large
scale In this category he included
kidnapers, business men who falsify
tax returns and other major Of
tenders.
"Some people will do anything to
make a dollar nowadays" he said.
In recalling the robbery in which
he participated and for which he
was later sent to prison, he declar-
ed that his band OF five men did
not use precaution in their use OF
explosives and inadvertently blew
the mail car and safe inside OF it
to pieces.
1--WE didn't do any good there, so
we lined up the Rock Island pas
sengers along a wire fence and took
up collection-just like in church.
The only difference was that if
they didn't give, we prodded them. u
''How did you stop the train?"
"Weu, we determined to make our
last job a good one. So we got a
key from section house and
switched the train onto a siding.
They had to stop then. Several
times before, when we had tried
to stop the train, it nearly ran ov-
er us and kept on going.
Jennings was sentenced to a lie
term plus five years. When the late
President Roosevelt delayed cab
met meeting to pardon him several
wears later, he asked Jennings II ne
were guilty of putting in jeopardy
| the life Of a railroad mail clerk
Jennings replied that he wasn't.
Then the President asked him il
he took a $4,000 registered pack
age from the mail car. Jennings re-
piled that he did not but would have
if he had known where it was as
he was in the robbery business al
that time"
"The President just put his heac
back and roared at that" Jennings
said. He declared that aside from
the belongings of the passengers
they got nothing, but someone tooF
the $4,000 package and the Cir
cumstantial evidence was against
him and his men.
Among the Californians who are
interested in the mines near herr
are Leslie Moore, w. A. Smith, Lyslt
